Belkin drops two new over-ear headphone models priced at under $100

Belkin’s push into the world of consumer Audio products began several years ago and since then they’ve released a wide range of products from in-ear to over-ear headphones. Today two new over-ear headphones launch and their value is beyond sensational.

The Belkin SoundForm Isolate is an over-ear headphone with Active Noise Cancellation with an additional little party trick we’ll get to later. Those are just $89.95. if ANC isn’t your beat, then the SoundForm Surround still have a physical noise cancellation thanks to the over-ear design, a great design and a $69.95 price tag.

Both models were designed at Belkin’s California HQ – a place I’ve visted, where iterations of the design, materials and features would have been tested and trialled – including the packaging (Which is plastic free).

Despite not being a pure Audio company, Belkin has a “Signature Sound” integrated across these products which Belkin describes as a balanced Deep Bass, clear vocals, crisp treble.

SoundForm Isolate

These are the first over-ear headphone from Belkin to feature Active Noise Cancellation and to offer that at this price is a huge opportunity for people not looking to spend hundreds of dollars on headphones.

But thinking about why people put on headphones, to escape their reality right? Well Belkin has built-in a “Relaxation” track that just loops in your ears when you just want to ignore the world.

Get this – 60 hours of playtime.
