Belkin steps up into Audio with the launch of their SOUNDFORM range in Australia

Despite being renowned for accessories like screen protectors, batteries and cables, Belkin is no stranger to audio, having launched headphones and speakers in wireless chargers before. However today’s launch of the SOUNDFORM range of Audio products is a step forward into a bigger role in the audio market.

Four products will hit Australia, through Big W stores including wireless earbuds and kids headphones.

Belkin’s local MD Stephanie Caulfield says “With the local launch of our SOUNDFORM Audio Range, we are proving once again that we’re not afraid to take on the challenging innovation and engineering work required to bring these connected experiences to a wide array of consumers. By bundling our headphones with the charging accessories consumers know and love from Belkin, we’re aiming to make a great audio experience even better while providing superb value to consumers along the way.”

Big W’s Taran Singh spoke of the quality Belkin brings to the market “We are always looking at ways to delight our customers with value and quality, and in a highly competitive category with many options available we were simply blown away by the new Belkin SOUNDFORM Audio + Charging Range. The bundled audio products were clear standouts and we are excited to offer our customers a ‘one-stop shop’ for a fantastic out of the box audio and charging experience”
