Quick Start Guide

Q: Can Alexa be turned off? Can I use this device as a Bluetooth speaker and phone charger only? I’m looking for a definitive answer, not “Just don’t use Alexa”. Can Alexa be disabled/turned off?

A: Hi. The Belkin SOUNDFORM ELITE G1S0002 has an Amazon Alexa feature. The Belkin SOUNDFORM app will ask if you would like to set up Alexa at this time.

Q: Does it have a microphone you can use during zoom calls?

A: Hi, Dj. Yes, the Belkin G1S0002 speaker has two built-in far-field microphones which can be used for phone calls. You can use the speaker as the audio device for the call.

Great but not $299 great
Well the concept is awesome. Bass and sound is extraordinary until you start pushing it over 50% and then the bass starts falling off rapidly. For the size, I thought it would weigh more but it’s relatively light weight and that makes it feel cheap in my opinion. The mesh is nice, the device looks clean and simple but $299 for this is a bit of a rip off. The Apple HomePod Mini for $99 is a way better deal. That speaker has much stronger sound for its more compact size and cheaper price. If you want something simple for your desk or nightstand, get a a HomePod Mini or two and save $100-$200. This Belkin product isn’t bad, the price just doesn’t fit. The charging pad and Alexa integration is really nice (also ha Spotify) and make the device very practical but for how quiet it has to be to perform, it is coming up short. Gen II of this will be better. This product should be under $150, I will likely return it but I’ll give it a few more days. I got this on the deal of the day for $179+ tax but that still seems like too much for the product. Low volume sounds full, rich and packs a punch but that quickly fades as the volume increases. Also not a fan of the app, it works but I just don’t like it. If you have money to blow then give this a shot. If money is an issue, HomePod Mini will be a better purchase and will have a lot of compatibility with other devices (Apple, Sonos, etc.). If you need integrated charging, this is one of the better package options but don’t expect concert level volumes to fill the room.

Sounds pretty good but not worth the price.
First things first. The premium part of this device is its sound quality and that’s what I’m going to start with. Pros, Cons, Comments and Conclusion last. Sound wise: Nice tight clean low bass and pretty clear high end when at low to about 80% volume level. After that it will start to break up and distort the louder you push it. The device will also start to attenuate the low frequencies once the volume level starts to exceed a certain limit at higher volumes. This helps but it can still break up a little and the mids and high mids start sounding a bit “harsh”. It’s plenty loud enough to fill the average bedroom or kitchen operating within the limits I stated and you will get nice clean audio. Note that this device is Mono and not Stereo. Lacks an analog audio input. Comparing sound quality to other similar audio equipment I have: Bose Wave Radio IV: Overall the Bose soundly beats it in my opinion. It gets louder before it starts to break up and it just sounds better. Never harsh and the very high end sounds cleaner to me. You can add an Alexa Dot and have that feature too. It won’t charge your phone but will play a CD, AM radio and FM Stereo. Has an analog audio input the Belkin lacks. Amazon Alexa Show 8: These things Rock! No kidding. Before I bought a couple of them last year I read reviews and listened in person to one. For the price and value I think it Beats the Belkin. They will get louder before breaking up and sound “about as good”. The bass is the strongest feature of the Belkin sound wise in my opinion. Value wise the Show 8 will do much more but won’t charge your phone. How I tested. I used my Galaxy Note 10+ with an OEM Samsung dongle to run analog audio to the Bose Wave Radio. I then played music by Alan Parsons, Steel Dan, Donald Fagen, Pink Floyd, ELO, Dire Straits, Heart, Pat Benatar, AC/DC, Alabama, Patsy Cline, Kraftwerk, Jean Michele Jarre, Yello... A little of everything but Rap. I then played the same songs on the Belkin via Bluetooth and went back and forth between the two. I did the same with the Alexa Show 8. EQ setting was flat for all devices. I also played music in a similar vein from SiriusXM and Amazon Music on all the devices with similar results. Do keep in mind that streaming music online can vary in quality due to the source’s bit rate and EQ settings. Upon unboxing it has a quick start guide that will tell you to download the app. When you run the app it will tell you what to do to set the device up. It’s pretty easy and I had no problems. Amazon Alexa features work like they should. Device feels solid and well made. Power adapter is a little bulky. It charged up my Note 10+ and wife’s Note 9 pretty fast as expected. However, if you have a case on your phone you may have to remove it for the wireless charging to work. We had to. I do not consider this a negative as it’s the same thing with any other wireless chargers we have used. Pros: Nice tight bass and clean highs at reasonable volume levels. Gets loud enough to fill a bedroom or kitchen. Works well as a wireless phone charger. Alexa works well. Well made. Easy to set up with its app. RGB / Multicolor LED indicators are easy to see. WiFi and Bluetooth connect without problems. Cons: Writing on the buttons is hard to impossible to read in dim light or when light is reflected off of the controls at a certain angle. See photos. Volume control is a bit course in the number of steps. Only 4 LEDs to show volume. No EQ presets or way to set EQ manually with the app. No analog audio input. Comments: Buttons should be illuminated for the price. Bluetooth could use an “in use” indicator. Speaker has rubber pads on the bottom for stability and vibration dampening. Single tweeter fires forward. Speaker is mono and not stereo. Base of the speaker is always warm to the touch even when not playing music or charging a phone. Looks cool. Conclusion: From a value point of view the Belkin Soundform Elite falls short. $300 is too much for what you get. I really expected better. As I write this review it’s on sale for $200 and that’s more in line. But if I had to choose between it and the Alexa Show 8, which retails at $130 (now at $65), on sound quality and price alone, it’s no contest. Alexa wins. Sound quality wise Bose beats them both. Price wise, Alexa Show 8.
