On a phone call: Cover your ears with your hands. OK. Now talk. Yeah. That’s how your own voice sounds when you’re on a phone call. I can hear myself way too much and my voice overpowers the voice of the person on the other end. Camera Here you’ll find expert opinions on the latest cameras from Canon, Nikon, Sony and plenty more.

The Soundform Freedom True Wireless Earbuds themselves are big, bigger than the Rise pair, but smaller than the Move Plus pair. They’re more on-par with the Apple AirPods Pro (just a little bit longer, at 35 mm). The fact they’re so long and my ears are so small means my earrings tap on the buds when I run (or chew). From the other end, the reports were ‘your voice sounds more natural than the last pair’ (the Rise) and ‘it’s more realistic’.

Crystal Clear Call Quality

I’ve rounded up to a 7/10 for the Soundform Freedom TrueWireless Earbuds. Soundform TrueWireless Earbuds: final thoughts Entertainment We spend hours watching and reviewing the latest movies, shows and music releases so you don’t have to. On the other end, dad says I sounded more natural and that there wasn’t an echo. He could hear the lawn mower outside my window, however.

Noise-cancelling – or what Belkin is calling ‘closed/environmental noise cancelling’ was a good addition. On a phone call: The problem with the Move Plus buds carries over here (in that I can hear myself way too much and somewhat overpowers the voice of my dad), but definitely not as much and it’s more tolerable. Dad also sounded clearer with this pair, too. Car Our revheads bring you all you need to know on the coolest electric vehicles and sports cars available on the market.

Personalize Your Sound

They do fit inside the ear nicely and there’s none of that suction-like pain. I also kept these in for a good 50 minutes before taking one out (it was only then I realised they were getting uncomfortable). Image: Asha Barbaschow/Gizmodo Australia They’re pretty good, not perfect, as there’s room for far better music quality (and a desperate need to chop the stem).

In the car: With the window up, these are fine. With the window down, driving fast with cars shooting by, they become hard to hear the call. BUT the noise isn’t heard too loud on the other end. After the 10-second hold, the light on each earbud will flash white and blue (pair mode) and tone will be heard upon entering pairing mode At the gym: Eek these are no good for exercising. I can hear (and really feel) each step on the treadmill. The fact they aren’t noise-cancelling also means I can hear the music playing over the gym’s speakers and hear people talking next to me. Move Plus buds with charging pad. Image: Belkin The Soundform Move Plus True Wireless Earbuds themselves are very big. Far too big for my ears, in fact. It feels like they’ve been shoved into my ear and it wasn’t a pretty sight when I pulled them out (it also felt like I was uncorking a bottle). On the plus side, they didn’t fall out while jogging. Listening to music: Passable. The sound isn’t great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s way better than I was expecting. At half volume, I had the level of sound I’d want music played at. Full volume the music sounds like I need to adjust the equalisation – not static, but the levels of everything need to be adjusted. If I play something without heavy drums, it sounds no worse than listening through a small speaker.During testing, the left bud cut out twice, but nothing seemed to cause it and it hasn’t happened since. On a phone call: These are perfect for making phone calls. It sounds like my dad is speaking directly into a mic inside my ear (it’s almost like that’s the point, right?). I have no complaints for how they handle phone calls. The 8mm Driver is to blame here. They pop out of the case in such a pleasurable way, which feels secure (magnets, yay). Image: Asha Barbaschow/Gizmodo Australia The person on the other end (my dad, shout out to him for helping me with this review), was clear enough, but sounded fairly distorted (like we were talking over Skype on dialup). Listening to music: These sound good enough. Music is clear, not muffled; the bass is balanced, not overpowering; and the drums don’t sound like someone is hitting the bud with a rolling pin. Full volume doesn’t like screeching vocals, or heavy instruments, however. Pop music sounds fine, but even then, these aren’t the sound you’d expect from top-of-the-range earbuds (Bose has really ruined this for everyone else). It’s almost like they’re trying too hard to get the sound clear.
