Are the SoundForm ANC Wired Earbuds right for you?
The SoundForm ANC Wired Earbuds are Belkin's plug-in in-ear headphones, with active noise cancellation and a USB-C plug on the end of the cable.
Best for
- Belkin says there's no battery to charge and nothing to pair: audio, the mic, ANC and the controls all work over the USB-C cable.
- Switching between cancelling and letting outside sound in. Belkin says an inline control switches between ANC and Hear-Through.
Skip if
- You want strong noise cancelling. Reviewers found it mild at best or just okay.
- Your phone or computer has only a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The USB-C plug won't fit it.

Prices change; check the one for the colour you want. Belkin sells them in Black and White. They work with USB-C devices that support USB-C audio, Belkin says, and not every USB-C port carries audio, so check yours. There's no app to download to turn on ANC: Belkin calls them plug-and-play on supported USB-C devices.
Belkin quotes Hi-Res playback up to 24-bit/96 kHz on supported devices and apps, and lists three sound presets: Bass Boost, Balanced and Belkin Signature Sound. It rates them IPX5, which means protection against water jets from any direction. Belkin's product page lists the earbuds and three pairs of silicone ear tips (S, M, L) in the box; its support FAQ lists those plus a Quick Start Guide.
How much outside noise do the SoundForm ANC Wired Earbuds block?
Active noise cancelling uses microphones to pick up outside sound and plays an opposing signal to reduce it. On these earbuds it runs over the USB-C cable, Belkin says. Hear-Through is Belkin's mode for letting outside sound in.
On the cancelling's strength, one review found it mild at best: it handles small desktop-fan-level noise but struggles in places like airplanes or buses. Another found it okay.
For calls, Belkin says the built-in mic reduces background noise for clear voice, with what it calls Clear Call Quality tech.
