Hands-on with Belkin’s new headphones, charging gear, and more at CES 2025

Belkin introduced a number of new products at CES 2025, including new MagSafe/Qi2 wireless chargers, all sorts of new USB-C chargers, and a new 20,000mAh power bank that’s still relatively compact. They also have new pairs of headphones and announced a brand new creator kit. We got to figure it all out at CES Unveiled last night.

Charger

Belkin’s new BoostCharge Pro magnetic wireless charging pad supports Qi2, delivering up to 15W of power output to compatible devices. It comes in two colors, black and white, and includes a built-in stand that you can rest your phone on while it’s plugged in. It starts at $19.99 without the power supply and $29.99 with the included power adapter. It will be available starting in April.

Belkin also announced that most of its existing equipment will receive redesigned housings in the second quarter, switching to 85-90% recycled materials. The first products to be replaced include 45W and 65W Dual USB-C wall chargers, 70W and 100W GaN wall chargers with interchangeable tips, a 15W wireless charger with Qi2, and a variety of charging cables. Throughout 2025, even more products will use this updated housing.

There are also two new BoostCharge Compact USB-C chargers in 45W and 65W form factors. They are impressively small: 35mm and 42mm respectively. They will be available for $29.99 and $39.99 starting in March.

Last but not least, Belkin’s new 20,000mAh power bank is compact, available in four great colors including blue, pink, black and white, and includes a USB-C cable for ease of use. It delivers up to 30W of power to quickly charge compatible devices. It will be available for $49.99 in April.

Audio equipment

Belkin has two new pairs of headphones this year: one pair of on-ear headphones and one set of earbuds.

The new SoundForm Anywhere headphones are semi-open earbuds with a flat form factor and feature a number of ear tips that help the headphones stay in your ears even while you sleep. They provide 7 hours of battery life, and the charging case provides an additional 20 hours of charging. They feature noise cancellation for phone calls, IPX4 sweat resistance, and offer USB-C fast charging: a 10-minute charge provides 90 minutes of use. The case is also incredibly small. Pricing has not yet been announced, but will be available in the second quarter.

The company also announced a surprisingly affordable pair of in-ear headphones: SoundForm Isolate. They offer active noise cancellation, a foldable design, and super comfortable ear pads, all for the low price of $59.99. SoundForm Isolate provide up to 60 hours of battery life and sound good for $60. They will be available in sand and black and are available for buy today on Amazon.

Products for Authors

Belkin has announced a new creator kit that includes a rugged tripod, a MagSafe phone mount, a 6-inch USB-C cable, and a set of wearable microphones with a 100-meter range and 5.5-hour battery life. It offers everything you need for easy shooting on the go. I tried out the MagSafe phone mount and it certainly provides better stability when recording videos from your iPhone. It will be available in May, and prices have not yet been announced.

And finally, Stage PowerGrip. It is both a 10,000 mAh magnetic power bank and an ergonomic phone grip. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try this product out, but starting in May it will be available in Powder Blue, Sandbox, Fresh Yellow, Pepper and Lavender. It also includes a small display for monitoring battery percentage. Prices have not yet been announced.
