Belkin SoundForm Mini 2 review

The SoundForm Mini 2 is Belkin's updated version of its best-known kids headphone, and on paper it covers what most families need for a tablet at home. Belkin caps output at 85 dB, rates the battery at up to 55 hours and says one charge a week covers 7 to 8 hours of daily play. The headband adjusts and now folds for a backpack or a travel bag, the earcups are kid-sized, and Belkin tested the build against 4 ounces of spilled water and a 2 meter drop onto a hard floor. A built-in microphone handles class calls and reading apps, a 3.5mm cable comes in the box, and RockStar Mode lets a second listener share the audio. The catch is in the footnote: Belkin states the 85 dB maximum applies in Bluetooth mode, so a child using the cable may not get the same ceiling. There is no noise cancelling, which matters on planes.
