More products will adopt this updated housing throughout 2025.Theres also two new BoostCharge Compact USB-C chargers, in both 45W and 65W form factors. Theyre impressively small, being 35mm and 42mm respectively. Theyll be available for $29.99 and $39.99 beginning in March.Last but not least, Belkins new 20,000mAh power bank is compact, comes in four great colors including blue, pink, black, and white, and has an included USB-C cable for easy usage.

Itll be available for $49.99 in April.Audio gearBelkin has two new pairs of headphones to offer this year, one pair of over-ears and one set of earbuds.Its new earbuds, the SoundForm Anywhere, are semi open-ear earbuds with a flat form factor, and have a number of attachments to help the earbuds stay in your ears, even while sleeping. They offer 7 hours of battery life on their own, and the charging case provides an additional 20 hours of charge. They have noise reduction for phone calls, IPX4 sweat resistance, and offer USB-C fast charging, with a 10 minute charge delivering 90 minutes of usage. The case is also incredibly tiny. Pricing has not yet been unveiled, but theyll be available in Q2.The company also announced a surprisingly affordable pair of over-ear headphones: the SoundForm Isolate. They provide active noise cancellation, a folding design, and very comfortable ear cups, all at a low $59.99 price tag. SoundForm Isolate offer up to 60 hours of battery life, and sound pretty good for $60. Theyll come in sand and black colorways, and are available for purchase today on Amazon.Creator productsBelkin announced a new bundle for creators, including a durable tripod, a MagSafe phone mount, a 6-inch USB-C cable, and a set of wearable microphones with 100m of range and 5.5 hours of battery life. It offers everything youd need to easily shoot on the go. I tried out the MagSafe phone mount, and it certainly allows for better stability while recording video off of your iPhone. Itll be available in May, and pricing hasnt yet been announced.And finally, the Stage PowerGrip. Its both a 10,000mAh magnetic power bank and an ergonomic phone grip. I unfortunately did not get to try this product out, but itll be available in powder blue, sandbox, fresh yellow, pepper, and lavender starting in May. It also includes a little display for monitoring battery percentage. Pricing hasnt yet been announced.Wrap upWhile most of these products wont be available for a couple months, you can pick up Belkins impressive SoundForm Isolate headphones for just $59.99 today on Amazon, with two-day delivery.What do you think of what Belkin announced at CES 2025?
