Belkin Soundform Rhythm White

Belkin Soundform Rhythm White

The Belkin SoundForm Rhythm in white is a pair of true wireless earbuds built for everyday listening, calls and commuting. There is no cable between the earbuds or to your phone, so they sit discreetly in the ear and travel in a slim charging case that drops into a pocket or bag. Belkin tunes the Rhythm with its Signature Sound, aiming for a full, balanced presentation rather than an exaggerated bass boost, which keeps voices, podcasts and acoustic material clear as well as music. With Bluetooth 5.3, multipoint connection, an IPX5 sweat and splash rating and up to 28 hours of total playtime with the case, this white version is designed to cover a full working day and the journey either side of it without constant recharging or re-pairing.

Sound and everyday listening

Belkin Signature Sound is the tuning Belkin applies across its SoundForm range, voiced for clarity across the frequency range rather than a single exaggerated region. That balance matters for mixed daily use: a morning podcast needs intelligible speech, a playlist needs enough low-end weight to feel complete, and a video call needs voices to sit forward. Because the earbuds seal in the ear canal, they also provide a degree of passive isolation from office chatter and traffic noise, helping lower listening volumes. Touch controls on the earbuds handle playback and calls, so the phone can stay in a pocket for routine adjustments while you are walking, working or training.

Calls and multipoint connection

Each earbud carries its own microphone, and Belkin’s Clear Call Quality technology works to reduce surrounding background noise so your voice is easier to hear at the other end. That is useful on a station platform, in a busy office or walking along a road, where wind and traffic usually compete with speech. Bluetooth multipoint adds a practical second connection: stay paired to a laptop for video meetings and to a phone for music and incoming calls, and move between the two without opening Bluetooth settings and re-pairing each time. Pairing itself is seamless within a 30 foot, roughly 10 metre, Bluetooth range, which covers a room or a desk setup comfortably.

Battery life and charging

The earbuds run for up to 8 hours of continuous playtime on a single charge, enough for a working day of calls and listening or a long train journey. The charging case holds a further 20 hours, taking the total to 28 hours before the case itself needs power. When time is short, the USB-C fast charge is the useful figure: around 10 minutes connected gives up to 90 minutes of playtime, so a brief charge while you get ready can cover a commute. Indicator lights on each earbud show charge, power and pairing status, while four lights on the case show its remaining battery, making it easy to judge when a top-up is due. Charging is wired over USB-C, the same connector used by most current phones and laptops.

Fit, durability and use cases

The Rhythm is a small, compact in-ear design, and the white finish gives it a clean, light look that pairs well with white phones, tablets and laptops for work calls as well as casual listening. An IPX5 rating means the earbuds resist sweat and splashes, so they handle gym sessions, runs and light rain, although they are not designed for submersion or showering. Multiple ear tip sizes in the box let you find a seal that stays comfortable and holds the earbuds securely, which also improves bass response and isolation. Made with post-consumer recycled plastic and supplied in plastic-free packaging, the Rhythm also suits buyers who want to reduce material impact without giving up everyday features like multipoint, fast charging and a full day of battery in reserve.

In short, the white SoundForm Rhythm covers the essentials of a modern true wireless earbud carefully: balanced Belkin Signature Sound, clear calls with a microphone in each earbud, two-device multipoint connection, IPX5 resistance for exercise and weather, and 28 hours of total playtime with a fast USB-C top-up when you are in a hurry. It is a straightforward choice for phone, laptop and tablet listening at home, at work and on the move.
