Belkin has announced an expansion of its audio range in Australia, led by the SoundForm ClearFit open-ear wireless earbuds. The company says it prides itself on affordability, and sustainability, with products made from post-consumer recycled plastic and 100 per cent plastic-free packaging. “Designed in its in-house labs at Belkin Global Headquarters in California, every SoundForm product undergoes 150 meticulous quality tests, ensuring perfection before it reaches consumer’s ears,” Belkin says.
“Design, sound quality, comfort, voice-calling performance, enhanced features and value are all considered with each new addition to the SoundForm portfolio.” Belkin Signature Sound is integrated throughout the SoundForm range, and the company says it allows “the wearer to listen to music exactly the way the artist intended. Deep bass is balanced, vocals are crystal-clear, and treble is crisp”.
To do this, Belkin says its sound engineers test headphone and earphone frequency response and distortion, passive noise isolation, Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) and Sound Pressure Level (SPL) to ensure proper 98db output for adult products and 85db “safe sound” for kids products. All new SoundForm products feature ENC for voice isolating clear call quality as standard. Here is a selection of the new products: SoundForm ClearFit by Belkin.
