Why Cambridge Audio Makes Earbuds

Cambridge Audio has been building hi-fi electronics in Britain since 1968. The A100 challenges the earbud industry's codec compromises by supporting both aptX Lossless and LDAC, no other manufacturer offers this dual compatibility. Where most earbud makers chase consumer tuning curves with heavy bass emphasis, Cambridge prioritizes balanced frequency response that preserves the original recording.

Audio Performance

Class A/B amplification powers 10mm dynamic drivers with neodymium magnets. This amplifier topology matches Cambridge's home equipment philosophy: low distortion and dynamic headroom over efficiency. The A100 supports both aptX Lossless (for compatible Android devices) and LDAC (for wider Android and Sony device compatibility), ensuring hi-res wireless transmission regardless of source. The dual-core Qualcomm Kalimba DSP provides 240MHz of processing power for ANC, codec processing, and EQ without audible artifacts.

Noise Cancellation and Microphones

Six total microphones (three per earbud) handle adaptive ANC, transparency mode, and call quality. Qualcomm cVc echo canceling and noise suppression technology processes voice calls separately from music. The adaptive ANC system automatically adjusts intensity based on ambient conditions, or can be manually set to specific levels. Transparency mode uses external microphones for natural environmental awareness without removing earbuds.

Battery and Connectivity

Battery life reaches 11 hours per charge (ANC off) or 6.5 hours (ANC on), with the charging case providing an additional 28 hours for 39 hours total. Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint allows simultaneous connection to two devices (laptop and phone, for example). Gaming mode reduces latency to under 80ms for responsive video and gaming audio. Wear detection automatically pauses playback when earbuds are removed.

Build Quality and Fit

IPX5 water resistance protects against sweat and rain. Earbuds measure 33.59 x 23.72 x 21.98mm and weigh 4.7g each. The charging case adds 38.7g at 60.99 x 24.60 x 44.89mm. Multiple ear tip sizes ensure secure fit for different ear canal shapes. Capacitive wear detection senses earbud placement without requiring physical sensors.
