Belkin has announced new budget-friendly earbuds at IFA 2025. The new lineup includes the SoundForm Anywhere, ActiveFit, Rhythm ANC, and a wired option with ANC. All earbuds will be released later this month for only $34.99.

Belkin is expanding its SoundForm audio range with four new budget-friendly earbuds. These new earbuds have been showcased at IFA 2025 alongside new GaN fast chargers and will be available for purchase later this month. Interestingly, all models will cost $34.99 in the US, which should make them contenders in the sub-$50 earbud category.

Belkin SoundForm Rhythm ANC

The Rhythm ANC seems to strike a great balance between premium features and affordability. They offer Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) using four mics, Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity with multi-point, and durable IPX5 construction, meaning they should be able to survive sweat and splashes. Sound is delivered by 10 mm drivers, and users can choose between different EQ presets, including bass boost. The earbuds are said to last up to 28 hours and will be available in black and white colorways.

Belkin SoundForm USB-C Wired Earbuds with ANC

As the name suggests, these are wired earbuds with ANC support. They come with a 4 ft (120 cm) tangle-free USB-C cable and larger 12 mm drivers. The earbuds are resistant to sweat and splashes and support three EQ presets as well as Hi-Res audio. Like the SoundForm Rhythm ANC, they will be offered in both black and white.

Belkin SoundForm ActiveFit

The ActiveFit earbuds are designed for active lifestyles and include silicone ear hooks to ensure a secure fit during workouts, running, and other outdoor activities. While they don’t support ANC, they provide a transparency mode and an impressive 36 hours of battery life, according to Belkin. The SoundForm ActiveFit also come with upgraded Bluetooth 5.4 and carry an IP54 water- and dust-resistance rating, which comes in handy when working out or out and about.

Belkin SoundForm Anywhere

Lastly, the SoundForm Anywhere are compact, semi open-ear earbuds, which Belkin says are designed to offer all-day comfort. They don't have ANC, but they bring advanced features like Bluetooth 6.0 connection with multi-point, USB-C fast charging, and up to 26 hours of battery life. The Belkin Anywhere earbuds will come in black and cream colors.
