Belkin expanded its SoundForm headphone family with three new models as part of IFA 2026 held in Berlin. SoundForm Isolate, SoundForm Dot and SoundForm Play for children, announced by the company, appeal to different usage needs and price levels. The standout model of the series, SoundForm Isolate, comes with the most powerful active noise canceling technology that Belkin has used in its headphones to date and can reduce the surrounding sound by up to 45 decibels. SoundForm Dot, on the other hand, has active noise canceling feature and offers two separate options without this feature. On the SoundForm Play ANC Headphones side, the optional volume limit of 85 decibels and long battery life are among the features tailored for children’s use.
To ensure that SoundForm Isolate stays more firmly in the ear, three different sizes of wing tips come in the box. Users can thus choose the piece that best suits their ear structure and achieve a tighter fit, especially while on the move. Belkin also offers standard ear tips in three different sizes. Choosing the right tip in in-ear designs is effective not only in terms of comfort, but also in terms of the efficient operation of passive sound insulation and therefore active noise cancellation. Isolate’s ANC system, which can reduce ambient noise up to 45 decibels, also highlights the higher-level position of the model in the new SoundForm family.
Belkin SoundForm Isolate offers up to 32 hours of battery life
SoundForm Isolate can provide up to 32 hours of usage time on a single charge. Thanks to fast charging support, charging the headset for 10 minutes is enough to listen to music for up to 90 minutes. In addition, Bluetooth Multipoint support allows the headset to connect with two different devices at the same time. For example, being able to switch to an incoming call on the phone while listening to audio from the computer may be practical for those who use more than one device during the day. IPX5 water and sweat resistance also makes it easy to use Isolate during exercise or under light rain; However, this certification does not mean that the headset is completely waterproof.
SoundForm Dot appeals to those looking for a more affordable and simpler option. Belkin has prepared this model with two options: the ANC version with active noise canceling feature and the standard version without ANC. Both versions provide up to 30 hours of total battery life and support Bluetooth Multipoint feature like Isolate. Users can change the equalizer settings according to their preferences via the SoundForm application. The ANC supported version of SoundForm Dot, which will be offered with ear tips in three different sizes, has a price tag of $ 40 and the standard version has a price tag of $ 35. Considering the difference of only $5, the ANC option may be a more functional choice for users who need to reduce outdoor noise.
Belkin’s third model, SoundForm Play ANC Headphones, is designed with children aged five and above in mind. The model with a foldable over-ear design has active noise canceling, while the volume limiting option that parents can activate keeps the maximum sound level at 85 decibels. This feature, which helps keep the volume under control, especially during long-term headphone use, is one of the prominent elements in children’s headphones. Providing up to 45 hours of battery life with ANC on also increases the wireless usage time above Isolate and Dot. In cases where the battery cannot be used or Bluetooth connection is not preferred, wired listening can be continued with the 3.5 mm audio cable.
Rockstar Mode in SoundForm Play ANC Headphones allows sharing the same sound source. This feature can be especially useful in usage scenarios such as road trips where two children want to listen to the same content together. The foldable body allows the headset to take up less space in the bag. Belkin has set a sales price of $50 for the children’s model. Thus, Play ANC is positioned below the $60 Isolate in terms of price and above the two SoundForm Dot options.
Belkin’s three new SoundForm models will go on sale in September 2026. SoundForm Isolate can be purchased for $60 on Belkin’s website, Amazon and other retailers around the world. SoundForm Dot ANC will be offered for $40, while Dot without ANC will be offered for $35. The price of SoundForm Play ANC Headphones for kids will also be $50. Instead of competing directly with high-priced wireless headphones, the new models combine features that are relevant for daily use, such as noise canceling, multi-device connection, long battery life and volume limitation for children, at more accessible prices.
