Belkin True Wireless Earbud

• SOUNDFORM™ True Wireless Earbuds
• Charging case
• Micro-USB cable
• 3 pairs of silicone ear tips (S/M/L).

The Belkin Soundform True Wireless Earbuds have skipped trying to emulate Apple AirPods like so many other earbuds. Instead, they favor a more chunky design that feels a little safer in your fingers.

The earbuds come with spare silicone tips in different sizes so you can find the right fit for you, although we found the standard one was perfect for our relatively small ears. The earbuds are very lightweight and easy to slide into your ears with minimal hassle.

The carrying case is your typical plasticky container but it feels a little heavier than others so at least it feels reasonably robust. Unfortunately, the carrying case doesn’t support wireless charging so you’ll need to plug it in via micro-USB to do so. Yes, micro-USB. It feels outdated but we guess it does the job, albeit slower than USB-C would.

The Belkin Soundform True Wireless Earbuds offer IPX5 sweat and water resistance which is great if you’re working out hard or you’re liable to get caught in a rain shower, but won’t be up to scratch when swimming or submerged in any way. That’s fair enough at this price point, though.

Controls-wise, the Belkin Soundform True Wireless Earbuds uses touch-sensitive controls on the earbuds. It’s a somewhat complicated and inaccurate mixture of taps, double taps, and triple taps to get things done. You may get used to it but we won’t blame you if you stick to using the controls on the device these are paired with instead. There’s voice assistant support at least, which can come in handy if you’d rather say ‘’hey Siri’ or similar than tap.

The controls are placed at the top of each earbud so if you’re careful in placing the earbuds in, you won’t have any issues with accidentally whacking up the volume.
