Wireless earbuds have been dire in recent years have become popular because of the convenience and often the quality they offer. Personally, I’m still stuck with wired earpieces, but I’m starting to appreciate the whole concept more and more â ???? Â and there these Belkin Soundform True Wireless are partly responsible for.

The Soundform True Wireless has a price tag of approximately 60 euro. What do you get for that? Well let me tell you Belkin hasn’t been holding back …

This is how you get two earphones with Bluetooth 5.0, AAC and SBC audio codec â ???? AAC is automatically selected if possible – which lasts for 5 hours on their own battery, and if you put them in the sturdy supplied case between listening, it will add about 20 hours at. When the battery in the case is empty, which you can see from the white LEDs on top, charging is easy with a Micro USB cable. The Soundform TW comes with 3 different sizes of silicone caps to make sure everyone can use them comfortably. However, it is good to know that you can also use your own caps as they use the same attachment system as approx. 99 percent of the market.

In addition to comfort and a good fit, they also offer a moisture-repellent rating in the form of IP5X . That is very pleasant for the people who get quite moist during sports like the undersigned.

Operation Of course they wouldn’t be wireless earbuds if they didn’t also have the necessary control functionality on board. So you can do everything by simply touching them; by touching them once to the right or left you can increase or decrease the music, with 2 touches you pause the song and with 3 touches you skip to the next song. You can also make calls with the built-in microphone, when you receive a call you can answer or hang up by touching the left or right earbud twice. If you do not want to answer you can touch the left or right earbud for 2 seconds, if you do not receive a call you can use this touch to conjure up your digital assistance.

Display To be honest, I didn’t expect any groundbreaking sound because given the price and all those features mentioned, it must have been cut somewhere, right? That is not so bad, because I was genuinely surprised when I first heard the Soundform True Wireless at work. Especially after letting them play in for a while and I noticed that everything had come to its place; funny how that can work.

If I had to describe the sound of the Soundform True Wireless in one word, then that â ???? activeâ ???? to be. But one word of course doesn’t help you. Some extra explanation; I get the feeling that Belkin has chosen to tune the Soundform TW towards the Harman Curve. People who have heard of that before will know exactly what I mean, but let me explain that further. The Harman Curve brings out the low and the high a bit more and provides some roll-off in the latter to create a bit of a V-shape without sharp highs. Of course you can decide for yourself how much emphasis you want to place on the high and low, but it has been proven by JBL (Harman Group) that the V-curve is experienced by most people as very pleasant and that is why many companies use it. Because of this slight curve I notice that all the songs that I listen to, during sports or during a bike ride, all seem to have a bit more power. Take for example Bring Me To Life by Evanescence , it’s a busy song that includes the beautiful vocals of Amy Lee and an epic drumming by Rocky Gray. Thanks to the Soundform TW’s EQ it also sounds like that, epic.

The high end is never sharp or too much and the low end does not sound bloated at all, just tight and deep. I can already hear people thinking, what if I want to use them in the office with some quieter music? Doesn’t it sound very unnatural and boring? On the contrary, a good example of a quiet song where a lot has happened Nose On The Grindstone from Tyler Childers . This song was recorded in collaboration with OurVinyl at the time and consists only of Tyler, his guitar and a large room with some carpets on the floor. What struck me immediately was the extra bit of refinement and detail you hear in the shape of the guitar and the greatness and depth of Tyler’s voice, which makes for a very pleasant but also relaxing reproduction.

What also quickly comes to the fore with this song is the little lack of soundstage, so everything sounds a bit closer together and you don’t have the far extension to the left or right or the precise placement of instruments that you do quickly run into more expensive rivals. Still, I have to say that the soundstage is fine for this price range. You hear clear differences between instruments and sounds on the left, right and everything in between, everything sounds nice and deep and even if something moves from left to right, I do not experience this as below par but just as fine. Actually, those three words describe Belkin’s Soundform TW just fine, â ???? fine! Â ????

Just roses and moonshine? No, not that either. Sometimes while on the bike I noticed that the connection to the left, right and sometimes both the earbuds dropped for a few seconds and then picked up again. By the way, without going out of sync with the other person, so that is nice.

I suspect that this is interference that is caused for example by traffic, telephones, wifi, etc., as it only happened right next to a road with many cars and crowds. I have also submitted these findings to Belkin and they also suspect that it is interference on the Bluetooth band. Despite the fact that this problem is sporadic, I still wanted to mention it.

There are also some small things, such as the fact that the USB charging cable with 20 centimeter is rather on the short side, and that it does not have USB type C. But given the price you can also face it. Â

Conclusion Belkin’s Soundform True Wireless offers a lot for little without skimping on the basics. You could of course say that there are features such as for example ANC (Active Noise Canceling) are missing, but you should not forget the price of this beautiful set of earbuds. If you are  looking for a set of wireless earphones under the 100 euro, you should definitely consider this one.
