They are IPX5 splash and dust resistant so they can handle a small amount of sweat or light rain.

Cons

Reviewer score 83% (normalized by Neofiliac)Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Plus wireless earbuds are a step up on their predecessors. Boasting 5.8mm dynamic drivers, they offer tons of dynamism and character. There's no noise cancellation on offer here, but the sound isolation is very good, provided you find a good fit with the eartips included in the box. Connectivity comes courtesy of Bluetooth 5, with support for AAC and AACX.
Pros
- Excellent sound quality
- Excellent battery life
- Easy to use app
Cons
- Bulky design
- No active noise cancellation

Reviewer score 75% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Melomania 1 Plus have a full charge generating 9 hours of use. In low Power mode, playtimes are some of the highest in the category. Bluetooth 5.0 operates reliably at 30 feet; stepping out of this distance will cause audio stuttering or dropped calls. Craftsmanship is sharp, plus having 45 hours of playtime is awesome.
Pros
- Sleek design
- Excellent sound quality
- Excellent call quality
Cons
- No ANC
- No multi-device pairing

Reviewer score 84% (normalized by Neofiliac)Pairing is easy using the handy quick start guide. Only one earpiece needs to be paired on your device. In the default High-Performance mode, you'll get seven hours from a charge or 35 hours in total courtesy of four more blasts from the case. Free Melomania app is now considerably more stable than it used to be.
Pros
- Sleek, compact design
- Excellent sound quality
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- Noise-cancelling and teardrop design
