Belkin SoundForm Inspire review

SoundForm Inspire is built around school. The flip-up boom microphone sits closer to a child's mouth than a built-in mic, a muted LED shows when the mic is off, and a physical mute button on the headset means kids do not need to find the control in an app. Belkin's Safe Sound limiter caps output at 85 dB, and the over-ear cups are smaller than adult sizes and covered in PU leather that wipes clean. A full charge gives up to 35 hours, and the headset also takes wired audio over USB-C or a 3.5mm cable. A second 3.5mm output jack powers RockStar Mode, so a sibling can plug in another pair to watch the same film. Belkin tested it against spills and drops and backs it with a 2-year warranty. It is heavier looking than an on-ear model and has no noise cancelling, so it fits a desk better than a carry-on.
