Customer Ratings & Reviews

These earbuds are great! They generally stay in my ear perfectly and are incredibly comfortable. The only issue I ever have is if I’m smiling a lot, it moves them in a way that tends to loosen up their hold in my ears. I can’t say enough praise for how comfy these are, I barely notice them. I’m pretty sensitive to the fit of earbuds in my ears, but I love how these fit so much. My friend who has very small ears and is even more sensitive to earbuds tried them and also liked the fit, I had the medium sized buds on them and they were just a little too big for my friend. The audio quality is very good, I wouldn’t say they’re amazing but as far as true wireless headphones go I’d say they’re pretty great. The touch controls are alright, they can be a little finicky at times but are usually fine. You can adjust the touch sensitivity in the Sony app. The touch controls work well even while wearing a hat. I do wish you could customize the touch controls more, the description implies you can fully customize them but it’s more like selecting from presets. The battery life is very good, and they charge quickly in the charging case.

Have been a Sony fan from the good old walkman days and then during the mobile days with walkman series, but since the airpods came out, haven't used anything else simply because of Apple's ease of use and integration with their products. But they lag in the sound department and i've never been content. Picked these up and I cant complain at all. I am no music expert by an means by I do enjoy listening to music quite a lot. My daily driver is an over the head walkman which is bulky for sure. But these simply sound amazing. I started with normal office calls and they are comfortable for long stretches about 6 hours. Battery life is excellent and quick charge is super helpful. Love the bass and music simply sounds way better compared to airpods. I work from home and its dead quiet where I live, so noise cancellation is not something I wanted but it has it. I have an office trip next month so can update how they perform in the flight. Do feel they are a tad bit expensive but I will recommend them for sure. if you're on the fence, go for it, you will not regret these.

First off lets start with the miss conception of the battery life. Its 5.5hrs with ANC on. Its 8 hrs with ANC Off. Bass is just as good as Bose, the wow factor for me, blind sided me. In my opinion sony linkbuds sound better then Bose in thr mid range and the equalizer actually works so if you dint wont bass then turn it down. Comfort wise these are great no complaints, the new Bose Quietcomfort Earbuds are a little more comfortable since they took out that hard plastic out that connects to the earbuds, this have that hard plastic piece with the defult eartips but pull off comfort. Sound is amazing mids are better and don’t get drowned out at all, bass is strong but dont over power the mids like Bose has a hard time with. Microphone is great too, not as loud as most but could be louder.. music gets loud so yiu wont have to worry there.

[Employee of bestbuy] I've found these to be comfortable for extended use, and the wing tips help them stay in your ear. My main gripe is battery life, I tend to use these with multipoint so they're connected to multiple of my devices for hours at a time, and with only passthrough enabled I'd average around 5 hours of battery life. Visually they look great, and I love the marbled look on the green version which is definitely my favourite out of the colour choices. The sound quality is great and the Sony app has a bunch of EQ settings to mess around with. Although I don't listen to things at high volumes, I've noticed the audio quality gets washed out when the volume is higher. It's especially noticeable when ANC is on, but I tend to not use that.

I got these headphones cause I got a bit tired of those big ones that cover your ear. They are pretty good but it does have a little bit of flaws. I notice that anytime youre listening to music and go to watch a video like on tiktok or instagram reels, when you get out of it, for some reason it just doesn’t have audio, I would need to put them back in the case and take them out for them to play audio. It’s not a big problem but it is a bit annoying. Another is when you’re wearing them and have your phone in your pocket, for some reason it cuts for like a second, again not another huge problem but it’s another annoyance cause i dont like my music being disturbed. It is pretty comfortable and the sound quality is also pretty good, but I don’t like when I’m talking with someone cause for some reason it sometimes makes weird scratchy noises, it doesn’t harm the audio quality so dont worry about that. Note: sweaty ears can be a nuisance because when I’m wearing them, my ears sweat for some reason and they slowly slip off, I almost had near accidents with them but you can prevent that with the different sizes of buds you can attach to the earphone.

So cute and convenient. These Sony - LinkBuds Fit True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds in Pink are EVERYTHING they say they are. Noise canceling. Check. I was mowing the lawn and had to take one ear out to see if the mower was still running. My ear holes *don't know what they're officially called, but they are pathetically small and I asked chatgpt what would be the best earbuds for my tiny tune holes and chat said these Sony Linkbuds! I ordered them immediately. Best Buy came through with overnight shipping. But sadly, even with the smallest attachment, they don't quite squeeze in all the way. But I'm no quitter, I keep trying and have learned to stay ready for when my ear rejects the bud and it pops out. Sound quality is amazing. Worth the $$ and effort. I never buy myself fun things, usually just use the kids hand me downs but I am glad I treated myself to these gorgeous ear buds.

I use them on construction sites. The noise canceling does a good job. The sound and fit are good, but it is extremely difficult to find the right place to tap. The app isn’t supported if your phone is a little older. If your phone supports the app and you can master the tap then I would recommend them.

Love my new Sony link buds!! Pros: #1 is hands down the sound quality. Better than any earbuds I’ve ever owned. If you download the app there are unlimited customizations. Fit: They stay in while I do my strength training programs. Had to do the fit test to ensure I had the right size on them though and ended up using two different sizes for each ear. The app is incredible and I would recommend playing around with it to take full advantage of everything these buds have to offer. Cons: Kind of bulky and have to readjust sometimes but overall are comfortable once you find the right size tips and learn how to fit them in your ear correctly. One thing I am not fond of is the touch control features. They are very sensitive and take quite awhile to get the right rhythm down but could just be me. Overall great ear buds at a great price point with amazing sounds! Would recommend.

I’m a local truck driver that runs a refrigerate unit which is very noisy and I must say the trucker head set is cool while driving but my Sony earbuds are way more comfortable and sounds way much better and looks 100% better in your ear . . I would never use a headset ever again as a driver .

Best Earbuds i eved acquired. Clarity on phone calls and booming music. The battery life is comparable to none. Love my earpiece so much.

I am really satisfied with sony buds. They keep a good charge and fits ear nicely while in motion.

Perfect, He used it for it. I love it. I recommend it. Very

Very great product everyone should flock towards getting getting a Sony product because of this song you can tune your sound the way you want to and because of that I can’t have it my way I like it. I love it and I will continue to recommend it.

great product noise canceling is unreal. would recommend.

First, I appreciate the unique packaging and recyclable materials. My first impression was noticing how glossy the top of the case is. I actually like it, but it’s also a fingerprint magnet. I might consider getting the color case covers. The buds themselves are smaller that I thought. They also feature the case’s matte-glossy finish. The ear fins are hollow and super bendable. That allows for the buds to be inserted easily in the ear, and in my experience, stayed on even when doing very dynamic movement and head shaking. They were very comfortable while wearing them for several hours. However, I noticed that I experienced temporary soreness every time I wore them for more than 2 hours when taking them off. That may just be me since all ears are different. I sweat heavily, so I am glad that the buds are rated IPX4, so that won’t be an issue. The buds feature Bluetooth 5.3, and fast-paired easily with my Android phone. The buds maintained a constant connection with no hiccups. Also, I did not notice any lag or sync issues. The very convenient multi-point feature worked well between my phone and my laptop. I highly recommend downloading the Sony Sound Connect app to open a myriad of customization options. The touch controls are easy to use, and I love that I can tap right next to the tragus (the small projection in front of the opening of the ear). While it is not always super responsive, it’s much easier to find. I am a bit disappointed that certain controls cannot be customized -especially volume, where it takes several taps to activate (at least four!). Also, the single tap is not even used. The noise cancellation (ANC) may not be as good as the higher options, but works very well, nonetheless. I was able to fully enjoy audio even during my subway train commute. The ambient mode is very good, although the surroundings’ noise comes across a little digitized in my opinion. While the ANC/Ambient modes cannot be adjusted, they are adaptive and can be set to automatically change depending on the situation, activity, and place. I appreciate the mute-to-talk feature which detects when I speak and resumes audio when I am done. While these are welcome features, and can be adjusted, I found that they are not that accurate and can be a bit distracting at times. The call quality is great. I was heard loud and clear regardless of the noise around me. Although in noisy or windy environments I came across a bit tinny due to the noise suppression. Out of the box, the buds’ 8mm drivers produced that traditional Sony full body sound signature. The bass kicks and has that subwoofer quality. The midrange provides definition and detail between the tune and vocals or choruses. The treble soars high without being harsh nor sibilant. It’s a very pleasant audio quality. Just in case, the buds’ sound can be changed or equalized in the companion app. There is also an option to analyze the ear and get a personalized sound signature, which I ended up selecting. In addition, the buds have excellent imaging and soundstage. The buds have the regular AAC, SBC codecs, but for those that have compatible devices the LDAC elevates the audio quality (up to 24bit/96KHz/990kbps!). I did not care too much for the 360 Spatial Sound or Head Tracking. While these features a cool when the content calls for it, they affected the fidelity or were distracting. Now, activating the AI-based DSEE Extreme audio enhancement worked much better than expected as even low-quality streaming sounded richer and more defined. One major disappointment for me is the battery life of the buds, which lasted less than 5 hours with ANC/Ambient modes on and listening above 50% for the most part. While this is great for workouts, it is not enough for a full day’s work. The good news is that there’s quick charge where 5 minutes in the case charges the buds for 1 more hour of listening. The case adds about 17 hours. It is also unfortunate that at this price there is no Qi wireless charging. In the end, I am very pleased with the overall design, technology, features, excellent sound, and to some extent comfort (in my experience). I think these buds deserve a look for those who are looking for a minimalistic yet fulfilling experience.

Good it is a good product too have listening all the time

The LinkBuds Fit Earbuds pack powerful sound capabilities in a surprisingly small and light, form factor. These buds are really the state of tech right now in the earbud space and while they are not the most premium looking and feeling offerings on the market, you will not believe what you are hearing and for how long. On top of the excellent battery life (rated 5.5 hours) and small size, these headsets still pack excellent Active Noise Cancelling capabilities as well as Ambient Sound Mode which allows some outside sound to permeate the buds with the external speaker softening and blending outside noise. This allows you to keep some situational awareness and also allows you to hear people without them having to yell at you or snap their fingers at you to get your attention. Another interesting feature is the headphones have location-based AI, mixed with sound detection that allows the headphones to determine where you are to apply certain sound profiles to the headphones. For example, if you're at home, you might get full sound passthrough or ambient noise mode because the buds expect it to be quiet at home. If you're commuting on the subway and its noisy, or flying in an airplane, it knows to apply noise canceling mode to drown out cabin/subway car noise. Overall I found this feature a little distracting because just mowing the lawn and walking around, the sound cut in and out of Ambient Noise Mode and Noise Canceling when I just wanted Noise Canceling. Also, the chime sound when the headphones changed mode was super annoying especially bc they were changing profiles so frequently. I need to check to see if this can be disabled. The LinkBuds Fit work best with the Sony Sound Connect app, which has been renamed and rebranded multiple times since I got my WH-1000XM3 headphones and they've added a ton of features and usability to it as well. Setup and usability was super slick, very Apple-esque out of the box experience. The app represented the headphones down to the color and accurately gave info on battery level, sound control mode, equalizer, devices connected. Speaking of which, this does natively support BlueTooth 5.3 multi-point, which just means you can connect 2 devices to the earbuds simultaneously and swap between them quickly and easily. I like to connect my headphones to my iPhone but also my work laptop which allows me to listen to music or take calls, but also take my Teams calls on my work laptop when needed. Very handy. Case is TINY and interesting looking, like a fake marble glossy top but a matte bottom. It is SO small and compact which is great for travel. I compared it to the size of some of my other earbuds and you can see the difference. You can get 3 full charges from that tiny case and you can see its really next level of tech with that LED light. Sound quality is excellent as well for such a small package. If you like Sony, you will like these headphones as they have the same sound characteristics as their other wireless products. Clear high notes and treble, passable bass, no muddy notes anywhere. I will use them mainly when working in the yard and walking around the neighborhood as my active true wireless earbuds as they are so light and comfortable that it is easy to wear them long periods of time.

The box for the LinkBuds has an outer wrap to it that seals on the bottom. The inner box has a magnetic closure and when you lift the lid you’ll find a 1-2-3 illustrative instruction graphic. You are instructed to download the app, put the earbuds in your ears, and then connect to the app. If you pull on the tab that has the graphic on it you will lift out the inner carton, which contains the earbuds in their charging case, a packet with the user manual and safety information, ear gels, and a short USB-C charging cable. Pairing the Sony LinkBuds is effortless and when you connect to multiple devices, the LinkBuds automatically recognize what device you are using. The earbud controls use a unique tap control mechanism, allowing you to tap in front of your ear rather than directly on the earbud. It also supports hands-free control through head gestures, such as nodding to accept calls or shaking your head to reject them. However, the wide-area tapping system can take some time to adjust to, as it may feel unintuitive at first and can lead to occasional misinterpretations or inconsistencies in response. Sony’s companion app, Sony Headphones Connect, provides control over many features, including noise-canceling levels, equalizer settings, and firmware updates. While the app offers a lot of functionality, it can also be frustrating at times. Updates may take longer than expected, and some users report difficulty navigating through its more complex features, particularly for new users unfamiliar with the app’s layout and functionality. The earbuds are very comfortable, even when you wear them for longer periods of time. I didn’t notice any soreness and I found them to be remarkably lightweight. I didn’t do an extensive workout with them but I did ride my bike and walk around our neighborhood with them in. They stayed in place securely and I wasn’t worried about them slipping at all. The sound quality is impressive. They deliver a very rich listening experience. The bass is punchy without being overwhelming and you can fine-tune your settings using the EQ in the app. I really appreciate the adaptive noise canceling (ANC) feature because it intelligently adjusts to your surroundings. It blocks out background noise well, but the ANC can be less crisp than the normal listening mode. I found call quality to be better than other earbuds and calls generally come through crisp and understandable. I’ve used them for both work and personal use. The battery life is good and thanks to the charging case provides up to 21 hours of total playback. They aren’t wireless charging compatible which was a letdown, but they do have a quick charging feature. The design of these earbuds stood out to me even though the charging case is a little thicker than some other earbud cases. They are remarkably small and it’s nice that several different colors are offered. The Sony LinkBuds offer a great balance of comfort, sound quality, and innovative features. Their seamless setup, tap controls, and adaptive noise canceling provide a versatile and enjoyable user experience.

Sony’s Linkbud Fit earbuds are small and light, and have an earbud tip that makes them fit snugly in your ear. You get several sizes of silicone tips to also help give you a tight seal when they are in your ear. Mine are a Sage Green color which are unique, as is the pearlish looking charging case that also recharges the buds via a USB connection. Pairing is easily done via the bluetooth settings on whatever device you’re using these on. The moment I open my case near a device and remove a bud, so far, the devices seem to be able to sense them nearby, and I’ve been getting a prompt on my computer, phone, and TV asking if I’d like to pair them to the device. A few clicks and it’s done. A QR code in the box will connect you to a help guide should you need it, and a Sony Sound Connect app via the app store can be downloaded that will allow you to find your buds, and make equalizer adjustments, adaptive sound controls (noise canceling, ambient sounds, etc) and more. The app was a little buggy at first and would not connect initially, but after three attempts it finally set up correctly. There will be at least one update, so through the app you can download it to the buds (takes a long time – be aware). Once set up and paired, I find the sound to be good on the Linkbuds, especially once I fiddle with the settings for a bit to get it all set up right. Noise canceling works pretty well and uses AI to adjust and adapt based on your surroundings, so if you want, you can set it so you won’t miss important sounds near you, while still blocking out some of the unwanted noises. Cranked up, you’ll just hear what’s coming through the buds. So far I haven’t heard any abnormally loud obnoxious “hissing” sounds you sometimes get from buds when using noise canceling. Balance is good, as are tones. When using for phone calls, I can hear the caller really well, and they can hear me pretty well, though I do have to speak slightly louder than normal for them to get the full sound from my voice. So maybe good, but not great, when it comes to phone calls, but very good when using to listen to music or TV. Battery life is pretty good. Sony says you can get around 5 ½ hours per charge, but if you crank up the noise canceling, this does drain the battery a little quicker. You can give them a quick top-up charge of just a few minutes in the case to get more than an hour of regular use if need be, too. The charging case will hold enough charge to let you recharge the buds 3 more times before you need to recharge the case itself, which takes a couple of hours depending on the charger you use. Side note, there is a certain amount of water resistance to these which technically allow them to be used when working out, etc. But I found them to get a bit sweaty pretty quickly and one side did sputter a couple of times when it got wet – personally based on my experience then, I would avoid water and excessive sweaty activities using them. Overall I do really like the Sony Linkbud Fit buds. They are more comfortable than some others I’ve tried, the sound is well within the good range. They fit snugly and don’t fall out. The Sage color is unique. Battery life is acceptable. Noise canceling works well enough to keep obnoxious sounds out. The only things I don’t like are the slightly buggy app when setting up, the ridiculously long time it takes to download and install updates (an hour!), and the sputtering on one side when it got sweaty/wet. The mics could be a little better during phone calls. But I’d still recommend these as a good set of buds, especially when on sale.

With a billion sets of earbuds available, what's one more set of earbuds in an entire ocean, what makes them stand out? It seems like Everyone is just copying everyone else, so why pick these over another set? Packaging: To start, they are packed conscientiously, not a bunch of excess packaging or literature, just enough to showcase the product and even give you a little bit of a 'reveal' in the process. the top opens like a lid to showcase the headset when you first open it, which is nice in such a small amount of packaging. To me presentation is often what's most lost in packaging these days so to find a set packed so lightly and still manage to have that presentation aspect shows a level of forethought that is usually missed. Connectivity: These earbuds immediately popped up on my Galaxy S21 asking to be connected, which is nice as I usually only see that option with the brand that matches the same brand as my phone. This makes it one step easier to connect the headset rather than having to open the bluetooth menu and go hunting for the device. To me this doesn't just make it easier for the average consumer, but also for those a little less tech savvy to be able to use something like these that might be a little daunting at first. Usage: The Sony Sound Connect app is on par with some of the better ones for headsets available, it doesn't clock when trying to detect it's own devices, has plenty of controls for audio as well as managing the noise cancelling aspects. An interesting piece of this is the automatically adjusting ambient sound control which changes based on your environment. I've tested some other brands recently that leave you in this truly 'cone of silence' type of situation where you literally block out everything, and while that might be good for some, in most cases I've found you need at least some level of awareness of your surroundings. With the automatic ambient sound control they go a long way towards blocking that background noise while still keeping you aware. The literature and settings say it uses AI to learn your surroundings and automatically adjust based on locations you visit frequently. I dont know if I've had them long enough to experience that yet, though I do notice that while it will block background noise, if someone is trying to talk to me it will allow their voice through without that 'cone of silence' effect I've experienced with other brands. I think this is a valuable addition to this set to prevent annoyance on both my part and the part of the speaker, whomever I'm talking to. Audio quality: They are exceptionally good, though I will admit not the best I've recently used, these are also not the most expensive I've recently used, to me it's probably due to the tradeoff of the noise cancelling capabilities, in allowing additional sound through to keep you aware of your surroundings, you're going to lose a little bit of fidelity, again not necessarily a bad thing, and to regain most of that, you can set it to the 'cone of silence' mode where it blocks everything out, but that's not where these excel. Set it to automatic ambient and let them do what they do best. Allow in what needs to come in and block what needs to be blocked. I imagine with firmware updates they will only improve with time. Battery life: I will say I've gone a whole day without even having to consider recharging the case, which is in line with what it says, and a quick few minutes in the case will get me tons more listening time when the headsets themselves run low. I have yet to run them dead in even heavy usage during the day so it's more than enough for probably anyone. In light to medium usage you can get days of use from a single full charge. Overall: I think they are superb, the automatic ambient noise cancellation is excellent and bound to improve further, the sound quality is good and the battery life is amazing. In a sea of headsets these stand out because they give you that situational awareness that is often lacking when wearing a true noise cancelling headset, and for that reason I highly recommend them.
