The Belkin SoundForm™ Dot ANC Earbuds (AUC018) deliver full, balanced sound through 10 mm drivers tuned with Belkin Signature Sound. You can fine-tune your sound with the SoundForm app Equalizer, switch between sound profiles, cut out background noise with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), or let surrounding sound in with Hear-Thru mode.
SoundForm App Equalizer
The Equalizer in the free SoundForm app lets you choose from additional preset sound settings for your earbuds. Belkin Signature Sound is the default preset. It is engineered to give you the best listening experience with your Belkin earbuds.
How to get to the Equalizer
- Open the Belkin SoundForm app and choose your earbuds from the devices list.
- Scroll down to the Equalizer section and tap the Equalizer button.
- Tap the preset you want to use.
Choose Your Sound Profile on the Earbuds
Without the app, you can switch between three sound profiles with the touch controls:
| Profile | Description |
|---|---|
| Belkin Signature Sound | Balanced, high-fidelity audio for everyday listening, including music, podcasts, videos and calls. |
| Bass Boost | Enhances low frequencies for deeper bass. |
| Balanced | An even sound across all frequencies. |
Switch profiles on the earbuds
- Touch and hold both earbuds (left and right) for 1 second.
- Repeat to cycle through Belkin Signature Sound, Bass Boost and Balanced.
Control the Noise Around You
Your earbuds have three noise control modes:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| ANC | Reduces surrounding noise so you can focus on your audio. Use it when you travel or work in noisy places. |
| Hear-Thru | Lets ambient sound in so you stay aware of your surroundings. Use it outdoors or when you need to hear nearby sounds. |
| Off | Turns noise control off. |
Switch modes on the earbuds
- Touch and hold the left earbud for 2 seconds.
- Repeat to cycle through ANC, Hear-Thru and Off.
Switch modes in the SoundForm app
In the SoundForm app, you can manage ANC and Hear-Thru modes and adjust how much ambient sound comes through.
Clear Calls
Clear Call Quality technology reduces background noise during calls, so your voice comes through clearly without you needing to raise it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make the bass stronger?
Choose Bass Boost in the app Equalizer, or touch and hold both earbuds for 1 second until you reach Bass Boost.
Does ANC affect battery life?
Yes. Battery life is shorter with ANC on:
| ANC | Earbuds | Case | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Off | 9 hours | 21 hours | Up to 30 hours |
| On | 7 hours | 16 hours | Up to 23 hours |
Why does the sound seem weak or the noise cancellation less effective?
Check the ear tip fit. A snug fit gives better bass and noise reduction. Try a different ear tip size.
Do I need the app to change the sound?
No. You can switch sound profiles and noise control modes with the touch controls. The app adds more Equalizer presets, Hear-Thru level control and firmware updates.
Helpful Tips
- Try different Equalizer presets to find the one that suits your music, podcasts or videos.

- If a touch command doesn't respond, make sure the earbuds are connected and seated properly in your ears.
