Belkin Unveils New Headphones, On-Ear Headphones, Chargers and Keyboard Cases – channelnews

Belkin’s new SoundForm audio range has been unveiled in preparation for IFA 2024 in Berlin, and we’re bringing you the lowdown on which products are coming to Australia, when and how much they cost.

The California company has also launched new “travel-ready” products in its mobile charging category.

All products are designed in Belkin’s own laboratories and made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics.

Belkin says every SoundForm product “undergoes 150 rigorous quality tests to ensure excellence before it reaches consumers’ ears.”

Design, sound quality, comfort, voice call performance, advanced features and value for money are the main features.

Belkin’s Signature Sound is integrated throughout the SoundForm series. Developed by audio engineers, Belkin says it allows users to listen to music “exactly the way the artist intended. Deep bass is balanced, vocals are crystal clear, and highs are crisp.”

All new SoundForm products feature ENC, which ensures noise isolation and clear call quality.
