Big sound, small price tag: Belkin unveils its new earbuds and headphones

IFA 2026 is in full swing, and Belkin is using the opportunity to introduce us to its latest audio products. The company is expanding its SoundForm portfolio with three new items. Today’s announcement is headlined by the SoundForm Isolate Buds, followed by the SoundForm Dot and Play. Without further ado, let’s dive into the details of this trio of launches.

SoundForm Isolate Buds

You may remember the SoundForm Isolate as a pair of over-ear headphones. Well, now you can also get them as a pair of earbuds. Belkin is launching the SoundForm Isolate Buds as the flagship of its latest audio products.

These earbuds deliver up to 45dB of hybrid active noise cancelation (ANC). That’s not bad, considering that the more expensive Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC offers about 30dB to 37dB.

Other highlights include up to 32 hours of battery life, Bluetooth multipoint connectivity, IPX5 water and sweat resistance, and Clear Call Quality technology. The company also claims that 10 minutes of charge equals 90 minutes of playback. And included in the package is three ear-tip sizes and three wing-tip sizes.

SoundForm Dot

The SoundForm Dot comes in two options: with ANC or without. Not the biggest surprise, but the model with ANC will cost slightly more than the standard version. Other than ANC, both models are identical, offering 30 hours of battery life, Bluetooth multipoint connectivity, Clear Call Quality technology, and IPX5 water and sweat resistance. Similar to the Isolate Buds, the Dot comes with three ear tip sizes and fast charging support.

SoundForm Play

The final part of the announcement focuses on the SoundForm Play. These headphones are designed for kids ages 5 and older who are ready for a more mature listening experience. One feature that makes the SoundForm Play geared toward this audience is the optional Safe Sound volume limiter, which limits audio to 85dB.

Another neat feature is Focus Boost, which offers built-in soundscapes. These soundscapes include Seashore, Brain Beats and Pink Noise. Belkin says that these soundscapes are meant to help the child stay focused on their environment for homework, reading, or independent study.

Some other noteworthy mentions are Rockstar Mode for audio sharing, 62 hours of battery life with ANC off, 45 hours of battery life with ANC on, a built-in microphone, and a 3.5mm audio cable connection.

Availability and pricing

As is Belkin’s MO, all three devices are meant to provide performance at an affordable price. The SoundForm Isolate Buds is the most expensive at $59.99 (£39.99 UK/€49.99 EU). Meanwhile, the SoundForm Play comes with a price tag of $49.99 (£39.99 UK/€44.99 EU). And the SoundForm Dot starts at $34.99 USD (£19.99 UK/€24.99 EU), with the ANC model priced at $39.99 USD (£29.99 UK/€34.99 EU). All three products will become available this month on Belkin’s website, Amazon, and select retailers.
