Belkin is well-known for making some of our favorite smartphone accessories, including the best MagSafe chargers. The company also makes wireless earbuds, including the SoundForm Immerse with hybrid active noise cancelation (ANC) and Find My support. The earbuds typically retail for $179, but Amazon has them for over 50 percent off, bringing the price down to $88—a solid pre-Labor Day deal.
The standout feature in Belkin’s earbuds is that hybrid ANC, which uses two external and one internal microphones in each earbud to produce opposite sound waves to the ambient noise, canceling it out. This system is hybrid because the buds also use software to analyze ambient noise in the environment and adjust the cancellation in real time. Apple’s AirPods Pro, one of the most popular wireless earbuds, also use hybrid ANC. Other wireless earbuds that use other forms of ANC put mics either on the inside or outside, not both.
Belkin’s wireless earbuds also support Apple’s Find My network, so you can use your iPhone to locate them if they go missing. The feature can also send you an alert if you leave the earbuds behind in an unfamiliar location—like a coffee shop—so you can go back and grab them. Apple’s Find My uses a crowdsourced network of iPhones, iPads, and Macs to find your missing device, even if it’s offline and you’re thousands of miles away.
The SoundForm Immerse has 12mm dual-layer dynamic drivers—also known as hybrid drivers—for enhanced audio clarity and accuracy. We haven’t tested these earbuds, so we can’t speak firsthand to how they sound. Multipoint connection support allows you to sync to and switch between multiple devices on the fly. Other features include Google Fast Pair, IPX5 sweat- and water-resistance, and up to 31 hours of battery life with the wireless charging case.
We’ve had a good experience with other Belkin products, so we have no reason to think the SoundForm Immerse doesn’t meet that same standard. Yeah, there are many other wireless earbuds we’ve tested and recommend. But with these at over 50 percent off, the value of the excellent technology and features is hard to pass up.
