When earbuds are put into the case, the case battery level lights will turn ON for 5 seconds and then OFFEntertainment We spend hours watching and reviewing the latest movies, shows and music releases so you don’t have to. Listening to music: These sound good enough. Music is clear, not muffled; the bass is balanced, not overpowering; and the drums don’t sound like someone is hitting the bud with a rolling pin. Full volume doesn’t like screeching vocals, or heavy instruments, however. Pop music sounds fine, but even then, these aren’t the sound you’d expect from top-of-the-range earbuds (Bose has really ruined this for everyone else). It’s almost like they’re trying too hard to get the sound clear.

On a phone call: The problem with the Move Plus buds carries over here (in that I can hear myself way too much and somewhat overpowers the voice of my dad), but definitely not as much and it’s more tolerable. Dad also sounded clearer with this pair, too.

The Soundform Freedom True Wireless Earbuds themselves are big, bigger than the Rise pair, but smaller than the Move Plus pair. They’re more on-par with the Apple AirPods Pro (just a little bit longer, at 35 mm). The fact they’re so long and my ears are so small means my earrings tap on the buds when I run (or chew). They’re good, not great, but they need a better phone call experience. Noise-cancelling would boost these up a point. They do fit inside the ear nicely and there’s none of that suction-like pain. I also kept these in for a good 50 minutes before taking one out (it was only then I realised they were getting uncomfortable). Image: Asha Barbaschow/Gizmodo Australia These are the best out of the three sets, quality wise, hands down. If you’re a music fiend, these aren’t for you, but they’re for everybody else. The Belkin Soundform True Wireless Earbuds have skipped trying to emulate Apple AirPods like so many other earbuds. Instead, they favor a more chunky design that feels a little safer in your fingers.

On a phone call: These are perfect for making phone calls. It sounds like my dad is speaking directly into a mic inside my ear (it’s almost like that’s the point, right?). I have no complaints for how they handle phone calls. The 8mm Driver is to blame here.

PC & Peripheral All you need to know on the latest PC releases and whether they’re worth their dime.Listening to music: Passable. The sound isn’t great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s way better than I was expecting. At half volume, I had the level of sound I’d want music played at. Full volume the music sounds like I need to adjust the equalisation – not static, but the levels of everything need to be adjusted. If I play something without heavy drums, it sounds no worse than listening through a small speaker. On a phone call: Cover your ears with your hands. OK. Now talk. Yeah. That’s how your own voice sounds when you’re on a phone call. I can hear myself way too much and my voice overpowers the voice of the person on the other end. The Belkin SOUNDFORM™ True Wireless Earbuds, AUC001 features high quality sound, supreme comfort and fit, and exceptional durability. The case itself offers up to 24 hours of battery life which is good because you won't want to recharge it too often thanks to that outdated micro-USB connectivity rather than USB-C – and it’s better than the AirPods. Someone who wants all-round headphones that are good enough. Belkin has clearly made these not for music-lovers and not for people who make a lot of phone calls, but that’s ok because there’s a lot of people that just want headphones that do all the basic shit really well, for a super affordable price. These would be perfect for someone who watches a lot of videos on their phone and doesn’t make overly long phone calls. The fact you can take one bud out and still have sound would be perfect for a lot of people.
