Belkin re-thinks the zoom call era with new SoundForm Wireless headphones with Boom Mic

Despite it being close to four years since the COVID-19 Pandemic, it does seem there’s still a gap in the market for a quality, easy to use headphone and microphone solution for workers and students sitting at home working, learning or communicating. A gap that Belkin looks set to stroll straight through to sell their new Soundform headphones.

There’s two models, the SoundForm Inspire, designed for kids, and the SoundForm Adapt.

Key to both models is the Boom mic with a clear indicator light to show when you’re on mute, but also that flips up and away to mute when you don’t need to chat.

Jamie Laing-Reece, Head of Product Management, Belkin ANZ says “We are happy to expand Belkin’s audio range and launch the SoundForm Inspire Kids Headset and SoundForm Adapt Headset. With advanced features designed to protect kids hearing and enhance comfort, these headsets elevate the audio experience and productivity whether learning, working, or simply enjoying your favorite content. This expansion epitomises Belkin’s commitment to bring high quality listening experience to the Australian consumers.”

Built for kids, the SoundForm Inspire feature the 85dB volume limitation to protect kids hearing right at the headphone, rather than relying on the kids to manage their device output volume.

They’re also comfortable and a great design, so nothing cheap about them and no issues with the kids being anything but keen to wear these in class or studying.

The SoundForm Adapt is ideal for those remote workers still doing Zoom or Teams calls with their co-workers, making for a seamless experience going from enjoyable music to the work call, with a long-lasting battery, noise isolation and that flip-to-mute feature.
