Our Verdict
Jabra Elite 65t Truly Wireless
Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Truly Wireless
The Jabra Elite 65t Truly Wireless and the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1 Truly Wireless are two very similar performing truly wireless headphones. The Jabra have a more bulky design, but they have a graphic EQ in their app and have a better microphone for calls than the Cambridge headphones. They can also connect to two devices simultaneously and have less latency. On the other hand, the Cambridge have better wireless range, they offer a longer battery life on a single charge, and their fit isolates more ambient noise, especially in the treble range.
