The Belkin SoundForm™ Isolate Buds ANC (AUC017) combine Belkin Signature Sound with hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for immersive listening. You can fine-tune your sound with the SoundForm app Equalizer, switch between sound profiles, quiet the world around you with ANC, or let outside sound in with Hear-Thru mode.

Scenes
Scenes in the SoundForm app change your noise control and Equalizer settings in one tap. Your earbuds offer three Scenes:
| Scene | Noise Control | Equalizer | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Default | Off | Belkin Signature Sound | Everyday listening |
| Immerse | ANC on | Bass Boost | Music |
| Watch | ANC on | Balanced | Movies and videos |
If you change the noise control or Equalizer setting yourself, the Scene no longer shows as active.
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 | Enhanced low-frequency audio for deeper bass. |
| Balanced | Even sound across all frequencies. |
Change profiles on the earbuds
- Press and hold both earbuds (left and right) at the same time for 1 second.
- Repeat to cycle through Belkin Signature Sound, Bass Boost and Balanced.
Manage Noise Control
Your earbuds support three noise control modes:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| ANC | Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation reduces surrounding noise by up to 45 dB. Use it when you travel or work in noisy places. |

| Off | Turns noise control off. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get deeper bass?
Choose Bass Boost in the app Equalizer or the Immerse Scene, or press and hold both earbuds for 1 second until you reach Bass Boost.
Why is the noise cancellation less effective than expected?
ANC works best with a snug seal. Try a different ear tip or wing tip size and reposition the earbuds.
Do I need the app to change the sound?
No. You can change sound profiles and noise control modes with the touch controls. The app adds more Equalizer presets, Scenes, Hear-Thru level control and firmware updates.
Helpful Tips
- Try different Equalizer presets to find the one that fits your music, podcasts or videos.
- Use ANC when commuting or working in a noisy space.
- Use Hear-Thru outdoors or when you need to stay aware of traffic and people nearby.
- If a touch command doesn't respond, make sure the earbuds are connected and seated properly in your ears.
- Keep the touch surfaces clean and dry for the best response.
- Install the latest firmware updates in the SoundForm app for the best performance.
