Belkin at IFA 2024 is all about new ways to listen, protect and connect

It’s been a busy time at the Belkin‘s in-house labs in California, with a slew of products announced at IFA 2024.

The new announcements across their SoundForm audio category, 11 new travel-ready products across its mobile charging category, as well as solutions to enable more flexible options to work while on the go, underscore Belkin innovation, quality and its commitment to building products consumers need.

All new products are made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics in line with the company’s commitment to find more responsible ways to build products.

Audio Products

With Belkin’s Audio range, every SoundForm product undergoes 150 meticulous quality tests, ensuring perfection before it reaches consumer’s ears. Design, sound quality, comfort, voice-calling performance, enhanced features and value are all considered with each new addition to the SoundForm portfolio. Belkin Signature Sound is integrated throughout the SoundForm range. Developed by Belkin sound engineers, it allows the wearer to listen to music exactly the way the artist intended. Deep bass is balanced, vocals are crystal-clear, and treble is crisp. To do this, Belkin sound engineers test headphone and earphone frequency response and distortion, passive noise isolation, Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC), Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance, and Sound Pressure Level (SPL) to ensure proper 98db output for ‘adult’ products and 85db ‘safe sound’ for ‘kids’ products—and more. All new SoundForm products feature ENC for voice isolating clear call quality as standard.
