A:AnswerYes, initially out of the box I'm not sure, once you get them paired to your phone download the Sony App, from there you can assign what the touch sensers do for you.
I have mine set so tapping the left bud turns up the volume, and touching the bud constantly turns down the volume.
A:AnswerHi GovernorNight,
Thanks for your interest in the Sony LinkBuds S. A rechargeable battery is built into the charging case. If you charge the charging case in advance, it can charge the LinkBuds wirelessly. Unfortunately, the supplied case doesn't support wireless chargers. Charging is supported by using a personal computer with a standard USB port or a commercially available USB AC adaptor capable of supplying an output current of 0.5 A (500 mA) or more.
If headphones that support wireless chargers are your priority, then we can recommend you our WF1000XM4. The supplied case of these headphones supports wireless chargers.

A:AnswerFor a concert or football game, sure. For the gun range or mowing the lawn, not so much. I have tried many ANC while mowing and it tends to eventually blow the speaker trying to compensate.

A:AnswerHi there, thank you for your questions! We're happy to help.
Regarding language translation, the LinkBuds S do not have built-in real-time translation capabilities as a core feature. However, you can utilize third-party translation apps on your smartphone in conjunction with the LinkBuds S for translation purposes. For example, when you utilize a translation app, it will stream the audio directly to your earbuds.
As for compatibility with an iPhone, absolutely! The Sony LinkBuds S are fully compatible with iPhones. You can easily pair them via Bluetooth and you'll get the most out of your experience by using the "Sony | Sound Connect" app, which is available on the App Store.
Thanks for considering Sony products. We sincerely hope this information is helpful to you.

A:AnswerI don’t think going for a swim with these on would be a good idea. I have looked for any kind of water resistant sign on the box and online but there doesn’t appear to be any.
A:AnswerIf you get the right size rubber piece ( it comes with multiple sizes ) and get it to sit properly in your ear. Then they should stay in for the night. However i still have problems with one slipping out. Not the best for sleeping but good enough.
