Q. I’m looking for Bluetooth earphones to use with my phone and iPad. I previously bought several pairs of Helm Audio sports earphones for myself and family members, but after several years of constant wear and tear it is time to replace them. I would have been happy to go with Helm Audio again but they appear to be sold out. Do you have any suggestions for earphones selling for under $150 per pair? It may be stretching it, but $100 max would be preferable because I need to buy several sets.

A. The $139.95 Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+ earphones have been one of the most positively reviewed true wireless earphones available since their introduction. They look good, fit comfortably, have outstanding battery life and most importantly, deliver the tremendously good sound you expect from a Cambridge Audio product. It is easy enough to recommend them given they come in under your $150 price point, but the timing of your correspondence was impeccable so prepare yourself for something much better. The Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+ earphones are currently being offered for only $59.95, a savings of over 50% and an unheard-of offer from an acclaimed high-end British audio brand. I could go on and on about what a spectacular opportunity this is and discuss the virtues of the earphones in more detail, but I think it is obvious enough that I can rest my case here. The Melomania 1+ earphones will be available for $59.95 for a few weeks at cambridgeaudio.com.
