Customer Ratings & Reviews

When I wear noise cancelling earbuds at work for long periods of time, I normally experience discomfort and have to move over to something over the ear. With the new Sony LinkBuds Fit I do not experience any discomfort or ear fatigue at all! I have worn these for up to 4 hours straight without taking them out, and I have to say they are the most comfortable earbuds I have ever worn. They also do great in the gym, and stay in place perfectly when moving a lot. This is something I have struggled with, using other ear buds in the past. On top of the amazing comfort the sound quality is out of this world! Podcasts are crystal clear, music is full and rich with impressive bass and clear hi's, and this stays true at all volume levels. You can even further tweak your audio settings easily using the Sound Connect app, I highly recommend using that to get your sound tuned perfectly to your preference. I have also enjoyed having this synced to my phone for music, and work laptop for business calls. The transition is seamless, and it's very nice to not have to switch audio devices when multitasking!

TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH

Whenever I look into some buds, being an Android guy, I am kind of all over the place. Having so many options from so many companies is a good thing in a lot of ways, but in others, it is very much not. I’ve had some I liked, and a lot more I haven’t, and there just always seems to be a thing or two that isn’t quite what I am looking for when I do settle for a pair. That being said, I really like these buds. They more or less have all that I want and come at a good price. They seem to be the ones for me. They are Sony, so I hoped (and expected) a nice build, and they definitely have it. Well-built, with some water/sweat protection, 4 different sized tips, and a great size and to me a very light weight. Most importantly, to me, they fit me very well and are comfortable. Of course, one some base level this is just a matter of my ear shape, but I think they have done a lot here. I have generally had good luck with Sony buds, here as well, but the wings (or whatever they are called) really give a nice feel and fit and hold them in place. While I usually do not really like the feel of these types of things, these are not rigid, rather they are hollow and quite flexible. I don’t think I have seen this approach anywhere else. A bad fit is pretty much a deal breaker for me, but this is not the case here, at all. As for the style? I love it. Plain. Black. “Mostly” matte. That is all I really ever ask for or want. One some level, typical Sony style and I like it. That said, they do offer a few other colors and have a nice selection of covers to do nice customization if you are more adventurous than I am (which you probably are). Sound is excellent. Music is loud, clear, and balanced out of the box. It does have that Sony sound, with some punch to the lows, nice mids, and some very clean vocals. As a whole it is just very pleasing. Using the Sound Connect App you can tune the EQ to get more of a sound you personally like. I messed around and really found an improvement. I think it is definitely worth spending some time here to dial in what you like. There really is a lot to play around with here, and the app is easy to get around and use. Beyond just the music, I found the ANC to be among, if not the, best I have used. I also found the play between that and the Ambient mode to be very good. I still need some more time with them to see what I prefer and when and how to get there, but so far, I really like what I have seen/heard. Lastly, I am very impressed with the call quality. I don’t “usually” make/take a lot of calls this way, but I can see myself doing it more with these. All in all, I am very pleased with the sound. I think it is great sound for the price. As with calls, I typically haven’t been a big touch control person. I have mostly found them to be somewhat unreliable, or at the very least annoyingly inconsistent. While I am still getting myself into that mode, I’ve been encouraged so far. I really like the wide area tap concept. It is a lot easier to hit a spot in front of my ear than the bud itself. I have been a bit hit and miss, but I think that is more me error at this point. Time will tell, but I think the implementation is cool. Battery life has been…good. I guess it really has been fine, but it seems a tick below what I have been used to. That said, for my use cases it is a non-issue. Between the battery, the case, and the 5-minute charge giving an hour of playtime I just won’t have a problem. Of course, that may not be the case for everyone. I should also mention the case itself. I really do not “love” it. It is kind of big and kind of an odd shape. I am not really a wireless charging person, but it would also be nice to have that functionality here. By no means deal breakers for me, but something to note. Lastly, like the covers for the buds themselves, you can also get different colored ones for the cases. They are pretty affordable and are a nice touch. Lastly, I want to note how wonderful paring is. I know, at this point it is somewhat of a given, but with fast pair it is just so quick and easy. Beyond that though, having the multipoint functionality is a great add. Just a nice convenience. Ultimately, as I said earlier, I really like these buds. They come from a reputable name, fit very well, are comfortable, sound great, look good, and come at a nice price. The hold up very well to the XM5s and I think they are a great value.

The Sony Linkbuds Fit are a very comfortable pair of ear buds. They have unique hollow support piece that do not create any friction or pressure on the ear. They come with many ear tips in the box to get the correct fit. The ambient sound and active noise cancelling are very good in these ear buds. I was quite surprised how well the noise cancelling worked and would put it on the same level as the most popular ear buds out there. The sound is great, as is expected, and can be customized in the Sony app. It has a unique way of doing this - you start listening to audio and then select from different numbers to see which you like best. Then there is another set of numbers after that - where each selection is slightly different. Selecting the sound you like best and you have just built a custom eq! For phone\video calls, the quality is great. The microphones are crisp and clear and work well to filter out background noise. This worked great in noisy environments where the person on the other end of the call had no idea I was in such a noisy place. One of the unique features of the Linkbuds Fit is that you can control them without tapping the earbuds. You simply tap in front of your ear. You can also adjust the sensitivity of this, but it worked out of the box for me. This is great because you don’t need to touch the earbuds to control them. You can also control them with head gestures - for example nodding to accept a call. The background music effect is also very cool. It makes it sound like the sound is around you, rather than in your head. This is great for concentration and focus. It has fast pair for Android devices, and worked quite well with a Pixel phone. Pairing on iOS can be done through the Sony app, or through the bluetooth settings. Battery life is just OK for me. 5.5 hours and up to 21 hours with the case. It is nice that the case can charge for an hour of playback in 5 minutes. The case does not wireless charge. The charing case is a unique design and I like that you can get other colors for it. It does stand out as something different and is much smaller than I expected it to be. These are great ear buds for comfort and sound quality, with some unique features - the tapping in front of your ear and the background effect. I like that they have all features on Android and iOS too, so you aren’t trapped into an OS just to get certain features.

These are the successor or a sibling of the Linkbuds S basically. They are active noise cancellation earbuds that are a step below of Sony's flagship WF-1000XM5's earbuds. They share the integrated V2 chip and the same Dynamic driver for the ANC and sound quality. What's missing is the QN2E chip that is in the 1000XM5 earbuds. So the ANC is a tad worse but at a much cheaper price. Inside the box: Short USB c cable Case Earbuds Tips in XS,S,M,L size These earbuds are rated for 5.5 hours of listening and 21 hours with the case. I would say this might be true if you don't use LDAC codec and DSEE off. These do suffer in battery life using LDAC compared to ACC but that's true with every headphone using LDAC. Sound wise these sound great. It also has an equalizer so you can refine the sound to your liking. This also debuts with a new refined app that works great. It shows a lot of the old app in the device details but the main page of it is better . Shows up your battery life and some features like equalizer and some other stuff. As far as the ANC goes if you like the WF-1000XM5 these are like 95% as good as those.

Not better than in term of sound quality sony Xm5 1000 but they are $100 more. But for this price its sound quality is really good. But best thing for this headphone is noise cancellation it is better than my beats buds pro 2. Even it is better sony xm5 1000.
