I just tested this budget headset from Belkin — and I’ve never wanted to take off a set of cans quicker

A black Belkin SoundForm Adapt wireless headset.

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get away from the Belkin SoundForm Adapt headphones. These cans are very cheap, retailing for less than $50. They feature wired and wireless listening modes and boast up to 65 hours of battery life.

But that’s about it. Unfortunately, the SoundForm Adapts aren’t comfortable and sit too tightly around your ears. As for sound quality, vocals sound muffled, bass sounds underwhelming, and instruments in electronic tracks sound blended together. While the headset comes with a flip-to-mute boom mic, the mic itself sounds scratchy.
