Rich speaker sound on an easy-to-use device

I got the opportunity to test out the Belkin Hi-Fi Smart Speaker & Wireless Charger when I received it as a free sample. Here's my review.
At first glance, it looks well-built and takes up about as much space as a thicker flower vase. I was looking for an instruction booklet in the box but saw that it had none, so this is a device where the experience is "plug and play." Once it booted up and connected to my WiFi, it asked me to download the Google Home app. Despite my Galaxy device having come with a ton of Google apps pre-loaded, I had to go install that one from the Play Store. From there, it was easy for the app to locate the device and for me to name the speaker and specify its location in my home.
The functionality I have used the "OK Google" prompt for to date include general inquiries and the weather forecast. That command can also be used to play music via the service you specify. The Home app also lets you start playing music without having to speak aloud. The wireless phone charging comes in handy when you want to both hear music and charge your phone while you knock out other tasks around the house. Just set your phone on the slanted top and wait for the usual sound that indicates your phone is now charging.
As for the sound coming from the speaker, it is pretty rich. Using this as a speaker looks fancier than connecting to a little Bluetooth speaker and of course still allows you to avoid using your phone speakers.
So, coming from someone who didn't have this type of device before, don't be intimidated by a potential learning curve. It is easy to understand and use with no instruction booklet required if you're already halfway proficient with navigating your Android smartphone.

Incredible Sounds/Bass

I received this speaker/wireless charger in order to review it and I wasn't at all expecting it to be anything great. Let me tell you, I was amazed at the quality of the sound when playing music. It has excellent bass! It connects seamlessly with Google home, and the wireless charging feature is incredibly nice. One thing with the wireless charging is that it only works when I don't have my mounting magnet on the back of my phone so that can be a little inconvenient, but it's probably great for anyone else who doesn't use a magnetic mount. Overall, a very impressive speaker and I'm really happy with it!

I recieved this product for free to review and I love it, it immediately replaced the Google home mini that I have. Set up was a breeze and only took about 5 minutes. The sound of the speaker is amazing and so loud and clear, bass is just the way I like it. The charging station is a good plus well so I can charge it while playing music and it charges fairly quick. My kids love using the Google assistant and getting the animal of the day! I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

Sound Quality is great. Pretty heavy so you don't have to worry the speaker falling over and dropping your phone. Magnetic charging cradle works quickly and effectively. Connects with all other google devices to play music in multiple rooms.
The only disappointment is that it does not have an internal battery and must stay plugged in.

I am Simply Astonished

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I am almost speechless with how impressed I am by this speaker, especially since I received it as a free sample to give a review. Rarely do I use Google anything due to it being so different than what I am accustomed to. I was pretty hesitant on using it at first but that didn’t last very long at all.
The design of the SOUNDFORM ELITE alone is enough to draw you in. It’s the perfect size to sit on any table or shelf but could just as well stand alone next to any bookcase, end table or armoire. And, whether it’s black or white, it looks good anywhere as well!
I am not an avid user of products like this so it took me a little longer to get it set up through my phone but, once I did, I didn’t even have to think about it again. I couldn’t wait to hear a song, any song… just to see if it was really going to be any better than other devices I’ve used that I would just charge and connect via Bluetooth. The first song caught me completely off guard with the level of bass and the clarity in the lyrics. I listen to that song quite a bit and let’s just say that my car stereo and little smartphone were seriously put to shame!
Before I knew it I found myself laughing out loud at some of the responses I received from my Google Assistant and I was trying to think of more and more questions like it was a challenge. Ultimately I ended up having a great conversation with myself and the speaker… and I truly enjoyed myself and this product! The only issue I have is really that it is not portable. I do deliveries 7 days per week and would have much better days wity the SOUNDFORM ELITE right there beside me all day, every day.

I received this as a free sample and was asked to submit a review. I never thought that I would be one of those people to use a smart speaker well, that has changed. I found it useful for hands free calling. I could continue to cook, wash dishes, etc and not need to stop or hold onto the phone. This Belkin Smart Speaker has great sound quality. While trying to calm my granddaughter, I just said, "hey Google play Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings". I got exactly what I asked for in magnificent sound quality. I am a senior citizen and it occurred to me that it could be used to get help in an emergency also. One of the key day to day uses is the built-in phone charger. Just pop your phone in and you never need to worry about a dead battery. The reception is really good also. I placed the unit in my family room which is adjacent to my kitchen. I can ask questions, call handsfree, request music, get help with recipes or measurements, right from my kitchen, without the need to walk across to the unit. The Belkin Smart Speaker will connect to streaming music sites to play your favorite music. It connected seamlessly to Pandora for me. The set up could not be easier. I had it up and running in about five minutes. My older granddaughter found another use also. I caught her asking for help with her homework assignment. Needless to say I am sold! I love it!

I received this Belkin Speaker free to try out in exchange for my overall opinions and review. The speaker itself looks really nice. I like the color and overall design. The speaker is actually really loud as well which took me by surprise. I have had many speakers in the past and none were as loud as this one. I like having Google at my fingertips. I can interact with Google by voice command. This feature works great and I haven't had any issues. I love that there is a turn off mic feature. I like this because I don't feel like I'm always being listened to. I use this when I'm not using the speaker. I like the volume buttons being right in the speaker as well. This is easy and convenient for controlling the volume. The speaker overall sounds great and communicates well. I honestly have no complaints. I would highly recommend this speaker.

This product does exactly what it says it does. This is my first speaker like this and it just happens to charge my phone at the same time. The bass comes through deeper than my car stereo, so get ready for that. It has nice touch controls on the speaker for volume, pause or play, start Bluetooth or mute the microphone that all work well. I don't use Google Assistant very much as I have no interest in conversing with AI. If I want to ask Google a question, I will do it the old fashioned way (on a computer). Otherwise, the product works and looks good doing it.

Received this via UPs, well packed and arrived in excellent condition. I opened it and started the set up with Google home. Within 10 minutes I was listening to the music of my choice. The sound quality was excellent and it only took seconds for it to play my requested music. Love its ese of its setup. I have not used the charging feature as yet but expect it to perform as well as any of my Belkin products.

Belkin's Soundform speaker is easy to use. The sound quality is above average when the volume is up over fifty percent. The speaker is weighted, which prevents it from being knocked over easily. The wireless charging works well with my phone. The plugin is too large, so if you have limited outlets, then it will be a hassle for the plugin. I recieved this complementary for review.

I have used 4 various speakers for playing music through Alexa, through TV and via my iPhone and they all sounded like $30 speakers which they were BUT NOW I have this Belkin speaker which to my ears sounds like concert hall music. Additionally I now have a convenient way to charge my cell phone and I am very pleased very very very pleased with this Belkin speaker.
Unpacking and set up was very easy and within a short time I had beautiful sounding music.
Thank you Belkin for a great product!!!!

At first glance I like the design and sturdy feel of the product. The sound is big enough to fill a decent sized room and the bass is more powerful than expected. The only issue I encountered was the charger and I’m sure it was my case that played a role in the issue. Needless to say I would recommend this product.

This Belkin speaker was sent as a free sample and I am very impressed with it. It's very easy to connect via Bluetooth or Google. I wasn't sure about the sound quality but when it's on it sounds great. You also have the convenience of wireless charging while listening to music. The only thing I wish it had was an option for a hardwire audio connection.
Overall, this is a great product that I wound recommend to others...it's a winner.

I received the Belkin Smart Speaker + Charger as a test product and was impressed with it! The sound is amazing, set-up somewhat early, functionality great. Would definitely recommend to someone needing a multifunction device. The sound is close to my bose speaker but the function a charger for the phone too makes it very convenient to own as a stand-alone system or an extra for a den, office type set-up like where I put mine.

Welcome to the Future

Well I resisted as long as I could, thinking I didn't need any smart speakers listening in on my home, but now I get it - voice commands work in 2021, and feeling like you're in a futuristic sci-fi movie is flat-out fun. I received the Belkin device to test for this review fully expecting to be disappointed and confirm my suspicions that these are only used by our tech overlords to monitor our every move. But a few days of "Hey, Google" becoming part of the family's lexicon and it feels protected as any other Gmail or Google search (which is to say not really at all, but I guess it's the price of access to a world of information).
The audio quality of the speaker is top notch - low volumes are heard fully and high volumes remain clear. The initial setup was a bit bumpy, but once my various apps and software were linked it's run smoothly. There is a real joy in saying "Hey Google, play Tupac" and then having All Eyez On Me immediately blast from the kitchen. It's worth the Google Eyez (and earz) monitoring me after all.

My husband loves this. He has it on and is listening to it all the time. It has great sound for something its size no distortion. The only small downfall is the size of the plug. He throws his phone on to charge it while hes listening and working.
