Review on Belkin SoundForm Freedom Wireless Earbuds - True Wireless Bluetooth Earphones with Wireless 🎧 Charging Case, IPX5 Certified Sweat and Water Resistant, Deep Bass for iPhones and Androids (Black) by Mike Pedroza

I think many people will be interested in this product as it is a true premium wireless pair of Belkin headphones. The fact that they integrate with Apple's Find My network (one of the first third-party devices) will probably make people think they're meant to compete with the AirPods Pro. It would be a mistake to buy them and think they will have the same features as Apple's true wireless earbuds. Belkin did themselves a disservice by using the term "noise canceling" in a sentence about this product, let me explain. The AirPods Pro offer a technology called Active Noise Cancellation that blocks out background noise for a person. wears headphones and has nothing to do with phone calls. This Belkin product has a feature they call "Environmental Noise Cancellation", this ONLY applies to the headphone mic, mainly when you are on a call, and it will focus the mic on your voice while blocking out background noise. . It supposedly works all the time. So if you're recording a voice memo on your phone in a crowded room, ENC will handle your voice better in that situation too. They're two different things (ENC and ANC) so I just wanted everyone to know about them. Another feature you get with this product is that the charging case works with the Find My app, so you can locate your headphones if you lose them. out of them. If you're familiar with how AirTags and Airpods work with Find My, these are good reference points for explaining how this Belkin product works. They are not as good as AirTag but better than Airpods 2/Airpods Pro. Airpods will only connect to Find My when they are outside of the charging case. So if you lose them while they're in the charging box, all you can see is where they were last used on the map. For example, you cannot locate them in one room of your house. On the other hand, Air Tags is always active and trying to find another Apple device to send information about its location to it. That's basically how the Belkin Headphone Charging Case works, it keeps it connected to your iPhone even when you're not using it. it, and it has a speaker on the body itself so you can call it like an AirTag. What the Belkin product doesn't have is a "fine search" feature that uses ultra-wideband technology to determine spatial/directional perception. If that were the case, it would cost a lot more than $120, and Apple's headphones don't even have that feature. I can't find anything wrong with the sound of this product. They come out nice and loud too, which is important as there's no ANC. They have automatic play/pause sensors, which is to be expected at this price point, and they seem very accurate. The microphone quality of these headphones is excellent, better than some products that cost twice as much. I would equate it to the quality of the 2nd Gen Airpods mic which is better than the AirPods Pro mic. These headphones use capacitive touch controls to skip tracks and pause audio, as well as adjust volume. You usually have to call the voice assistant or pick up the phone to adjust the volume, so I'm glad they've included that in the control scheme. And you can charge the case wirelessly, it's not a forgotten $120 pin, so I'm glad Belkin didn't miss out on that key feature. The IPX5 water resistance is excellent and higher than AirPods Pro! So you can safely take them to a run or to the gym, just don't try to swim with them (you need IPX7/IPX8 for that and you shouldn't try to swim with headphones anyway, what's wrong with you?!) for 120 At $200, these headphones are solid value that pack a lot of nice features. If you want headphones that work with the Find Me network (not Apple's), there are very few options other than Beats headphones that don't technically count since Beats is owned by Apple. Also, I've already explained why this implementation is better than Airpods that work with Find My, since you can find them while the headphones are still in the case (unlike Apple and Beats headphones). Pros+Good sound qualityComfortable fitGreat mic qualityAuto play/pause detectionWorks with Apple Find My network, you can even call the earphone case to find it (better than AirPods work with Find My as the connection stays on even when the earbuds in the case are Qi-certified Wireless Charging Cons-No Active Noise Cancellation Update: Belkin Soundform is available for Android, I mention this because the current review says otherwise, however the app works with Soundform Elite and Soundform Connect products ( NOT with these headphones) so in relation to this product it doesn't matter if the app runs on Android or not. Sorry but I believe in posting accurate information which means I sometimes have to correct others, who haven't done their homework.
