Product Manuals
Q: How well do these earbuds pair with Apple iPhones?
A: Very well! I never have an issue.
Q: Is it in store somewhere so that i can try it in person and then decide to buy it or not.
A: undefined
Q: Is the case able to wireless charge?
A: Hi Mindy, Thank you for your inquiry! The WF-L910 model, also known as LinkBuds Open, does not support wireless charging. The charging case for this model requires a USB cable for charging. We designed these earbuds to provide authentic, high-quality sound as well as newly developed Air Fitting Supporters and accessories that come in multiple color options for unrivalled sound, comfort, and style. The LinkBuds Open feature new and light Air Fitting Supporters for all-day wearing comfort, great for those with an active lifestyle. Regards, Carl
Q: Do they link with PlayStation?
A: Hi PlayStation, Thanks for your question. The PS5 does not natively support Bluetooth audio devices, including Sony Bluetooth headphones. This means pairing your Bluetooth headphones with the PS5 won’t be possible. You won’t be able to find or connect them. You can connect our LinkBuds Open to your television (via Bluetooth- the TV must support Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)) so you can get the audio from the PlayStation. We still recommend using headphones that are designed for consoles. These are the INZONE headphones and earbuds that are compatible with the PlayStation 5 (PS5). These models can be connected to the PS5 using a USB dongle (or wired): • INZONE H3 • INZONE H7 • INZONE H9 • INZONE Buds (WFG700N) If you’re still keen on using your Bluetooth headphones, it’s possible to get a third-party Bluetooth adapter. These adapters plug into the PS5, allowing you to connect regular Bluetooth headphones. However, Sony doesn’t guarantee compatibility or performance. Regards, Jess

Awesome buy!
I purchased these refurbished Sony earbuds. Much to my delight, it was like purchasing a brand new set at less than half of the full prize. The sound quality...excellent. The fit...perfect. Also came with extra earbud cover replacements. I've always bought Sony bluetooth earbuds. Never have they failed me. Normally, I buy them brand new. However the last two pair I purchased were refurbished. They lasted me a good two years. Very satisfied with my purchase!

Interesting Design!
The Sony LinkBuds Open marks the return of the donut shaped earbud! These have such an interesting design and are something you’ll want to check out if you like the idea of unobstructed environmental sound while still having a quality earbud experience. The LinkBuds Open are well made and deliver a sense of quality. They're lightweight but still feel durable. If you wear earbuds daily, I can see these being able to stand up to your average wear and tear without issue. Keep in mind that they aren’t waterproof. However, they are IPX4 rated and should be able to handle sweat and light rain without issue. If you are sensitive to ear pressure you may fall in love with these. The open ear style is ear pressure free. They sat comfortably in my ears at first, and I had no issues with a secure fit – the design of the little ear wing did its job! After longer wears, I found them to be slightly uncomfortable inside my ear. I’m generally pretty sensitive with earbuds, but I have a more traditional style Sony set that I can wear all day without the same discomfort. The open ear design seems strange, but the sound is clear and balanced, albeit a little high on the treble for me. You get some bass, but the mids and highs are the stars. If you don’t listen to bass heavy music, these earbuds might be more your style. If you're a podcast lover or someone who takes a lot of calls, the clarity these earbuds provide is great. The Sony open ear concept brings a fresh perspective to the wireless earbud market and they might be the standout choice if you find that they fit your needs. If you value high-quality audio and want to try out the open ear design the LinkBuds Open should be on your radar.

Comfortable Open-style Earbuds
Sony LinkBuds Open Sony’s open ring design of the Sony LinkBuds Open are designed to be comfortable and allow you to be exposed to the outside surroundings while still listening to music a video or using your phone. This is very good for activities where you need to hear the world around you, say, biking or interacting with other people. If you are already used to unsealed or open-style earbuds, you will already have the correct expectations that the LinkBuds provide. The earbuds let in most of the sound environment around you, but they still sit in your ears right in front of your ear canal so they direct the speakers' sounds to be a more direct route to your ears. The construction of the LinkBuds allows for a broad area of fitment. A small ring fits over the ear canal, and a soft silicone fin fits into the pinnae area of the ear. This allows for comfort over a long period of time and doesn’t require a lot of fitment accessories to find the right one to fit your ears. I found I could exercise and run with the LinkBuds in, and they stayed secure in my ears. I watched a couple of movies on my tablet and didn’t find them uncomfortable after a two-hour movie. It features a clear, nicely detailed sound. They don't deliver as much bass as other premium noise-isolating buds, but in quieter environments, there's a relatively small drop-off in sound quality from noise-isolating buds. Also, like other open buds, their sound has an open, airy quality. Voice-calling performance was good, and the buds have good battery life. I received 8 plus hours on a single charge, and the compact case provided an additional 14 hours with a quick recharge time. A 3-minute charge provides 60 minutes of additional play time. The case is small, secure, and well-built. It has a USB-C connection but doesn’t come with a power brick. The LinkBuds Open are equipped with Sony's Speak-To-Chat feature that pauses your music when you start a conversation, and they have some voice controls built into the buds themselves. The voice-control feature has to be activated in the settings menu, as does Speak-To-Chat. But once it's activated, you simply say, "Hey, headphones," then say one of the available voice commands, which include commands for skipping tracks forward and back as well as raising and lowering volume. You can also tap the buds to start your playlist and move to next selection. I didn’t like the head movement commands and turned those off. The equalizer is manually adjustable, as well as having a variety of preprogrammed settings. If you remove the buds they go into standby mode One of the big pluses is being able to connect to two devices at once. I have on connection on my phone and one on my laptop. It is too bad I can’t connect them to my laptop. The app shows your settings and the power levels of the buds and the case. It also gives you access to the equalizer and things like autoplay. If you like unsealed or open-style earbuds or have a need for earbuds that do not remove you from your surrounding environment, I would recommend the Sony LinkBuds Open.
