Source: headphonecheck.com (verified 2026-07-07) · corroborated by listenroom.com. Re-fetched and adversarially verified via fetch-clean.mjs. Cambridge Audio's official US product page (cambridgeaudio.com/usa/en/...) returned HTTP 403, so specs were read verbatim from headphonecheck.com's dedicated Melomania P100 review. Confirmed in fetched text: technical-spec table "Transducer principle dynamic" + body "dynamic 40 mm compound drivers" (driver_mm=40), "BT version: 5.3" / "Bluetooth 5.3" (bluetooth), "BT codecs: SBC, AAC, aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive" (codecs), noise cancelling "In three intensity levels" (anc=true), "Weight without cable 330 g" (weight_g=330), and "operated via cable or USB-C" plus in-box "USB-C to 3.5 mm cable" (wired_option=true). The Listening Room (listenroom.com), a US authorized dealer for this exact base non-SE unit, corroborated every figure verbatim in its spec table — "Driver 40mm dynamic, PEEK + PU + PEEK composite diaphragm", "Bluetooth 5.3", "Connectivity Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C, 3.5mm analog jack", "Weight 11.5 oz (326g)" — and stated "Battery Life: Up to 100 hours (ANC off), 60 hours (ANC on)", so battery_hr=60 is the ANC-on rated figure per this catalog's convention (headphonecheck also gives "60 to 100 hours depending on... noise cancelling"). Price 279 is the retailer's verbatim "Regular price $279.00" (a clearance "Sale price $179.00" applies to outgoing non-SE stock). releaseDate and specs.release are null — neither fetched page states an explicit launch date (headphonecheck shows only a relative "1 year ago"; the Listenroom TechRadar acclaim dated "July 2024" is a review date, not a stated release). Model identity confirmed as the exact base Melomania P100 in both sources, explicitly distinct from the $299 P100 SE. weight_g=330 uses the source's "without cable" figure; the retailer's 11.5 oz (326g) corroborates within ~4 g. 7 of 8 spec keys are non-null and verified, and the price is sourced, so publish=true.
