It's not the best sounding I have heard, but it's okay. After three months of use, the right ear started to not work, so take it as you and customer service are mid.
Hi SpeKT, thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the Sony - LinkBuds Fit.

Battery issues immediately. I’ve had two pairs of Linkbuds S and each after a year had battery issues. I tried these and immediately the right one didn’t register that it was connected to the charging magnets. Returned immediately. Sound 6/10. The turquoise is beautiful and fit well. Wish there wasn’t an issue with them.

Hi Solo, We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the case for your WF-LS910N earbuds. We appreciate you sharing this feedback. While we're glad you're enjoying the sound and color, we understand your concern about the case feeling flimsy and opening too easily. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
-Make sure the earbuds are fully seated in their designated spots within the case. A firm click indicates they are in place and the lid should close more securely. -If you're concerned about the case opening accidentally while in a pocket or bag, you might consider a third-party protective case designed specifically for the WF-LS910N. These can add a layer of security and prevent the lid from opening on its own.
Your feedback is incredibly important to us, as it enables us to enhance our products. Thank you for considering Sony. Sincerely, Estefany

Hi 1Choice21, We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulties with your Sony LinkBuds Fit. Please try to replace Ear Fitting Supporters and check if the issue still occurs: The LinkBuds Fit come with medium-sized (M) ear fitting supporters attached. If these are too big or too small, you can try different sizes to find the best fit. It's recommended to start with larger sizes and work your way down to smaller sizes until you find the most comfortable fit. The best fitting supporter may be different for each ear. You can follow the instructions to replace the fitting supporters:
Gently raise the fitting supporter and remove it from one side of the LinkBuds. Select a different size fitting supporter and align the protruding part of the LinkBud with the cutout on the fitting supporter. Make sure to insert the fitting supporter completely and check that there is no movement on the LinkBuds by shaking your head back and forth.
Should you need assistance with your Sony product, please contact us for help.
Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.

They started off really great but now it has been 2 months since i got them and they started going in and out. The sound changes in volume on it sown and the speaker already sounds like it blew out. One earbud stopped working all together. They tend to also disconnect on their own. I genuinely loved Sony headphones until I got these pair.
This is not the experience that we want you to have. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.
For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Sound Connect app). Resetting and initializing the headset may help resolve those issues:
Resetting the headset -Set the headset units into the charging case. Leave the charging case lid open. -Press and hold the reset button on the back of the charging case for about 20 seconds or more. After about 15 seconds, the indicator (orange) on the charging case flashes for about 5 seconds. Then, the indicator on the charging case turns off and the headset will be reset.
Note: Do not release your finger from the reset button on the charging case while the indicator (orange) is flashing. If you release your finger, the headset will be initialized
-Check that the indicator turns off and then release your finger. The pairing information and other settings are retained.
If the headset does not operate correctly even after resetting, initialize the headset to restore factory settings.
Initializing the headset -Set the headset units into the charging case. Leave the charging case lid open. -Press and hold the initialize button on the back of the charging case for about 15 seconds or more. After about 15 seconds, the indicator (orange) on the charging case flashes for about 5 seconds. -Release your finger within 5 seconds after the indicator (orange) on the charging case starts flashing. When the initializing is complete, the indicator (green) on the charging case flashes 4 times.
This operation resets volume settings, etc. to the factory settings, and deletes all pairing information. In this case, delete the pairing information for the headset from the connected device and then pair them again.
These headphones come with a 1-year manufacturer's limited warranty. If still not resolved, please contact our product support team via phone call or chat through this link:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the WFLS910N, Dmac. We're sorry to hear that the noise cancelling performance and the fit of the earbuds didn't meet your expectations. Your experience is important to us, and we're always striving to improve both comfort and functionality in our products.
For noise cancelling, the effectiveness can sometimes be impacted by the fit and seal of the earbuds.

Ensuring the earbuds are positioned correctly—rotated and seated comfortably in your ear—may also help improve your experience.

The battery was not as advertised, and the right headphone would not charge unless I kept moving it into place. I had to set it down very slowly to make sure it continued charging.
We're sorry to hear about your experience with your LinkBuds Fit, and we truly understand how frustrating this must feel. Battery life can vary from the advertised time depending on settings, functions in use, and overall usage conditions. You can learn more about this here:
Regarding the charging issue with the right earbud, we'd like to share some useful recommendations that can help ensure a proper connection when charging:
- Make sure the charging ports are free of dust or debris. - Check that the earbuds are firmly seated in the charging case with the indicators lighting up.

Sony is a well-known brand with a solid reputation. I've owned many of their products over the years. I've also used many other brand's earbuds, as well; some good, some great, some not so great. So I was very interested to find out if these Sony LinkBuds Fit Noise Cancelling Earbuds would live up to my expectations. And for the most part, they did.
The usual Sony quality I've come to expect from this brand, was most certainly there. Both with how well these earbuds are made, to how exceptionally well they performed. The charging/carrying case itself is compact and highly portable, having a stylishly decorative swirling pattern on its glossy lid. I got the sage green color earbuds, and love them!
I've been wearing these earbuds for several hours at a time for several days now, and they are still super comfortable! These earbuds fit perfectly in my ear, and the soft flexible silicone "Air Fitting Supporter" 'tips' do seem to hold the earbuds securely within the folds of my ears as I move about. The earbuds should certainly stay put during exercise workouts, or even for active runners.
Of course, there's a companion app - Sony Sound Connect - which allows you to personalize your earbud's audio settings. With the Adaptive Sound Control feature the app "learns" how I use the earbuds and adjusts accordingly. There's Noise Canceling and Ambient Sound modes, along with Equalizer customization. You can enable quick access to your Amazon and Spotify music by assigning personalized 'tap' functions via the app. But you can also use these earbuds without the app, as well.
I'm very much appreciative that the Sony LinkBuds Fit earbuds can be paired with two different Bluetooth devices at the same time. I use multiple mobile devices - phones, tablet - on a daily basis, and having these lovely earbuds already paired to the two I use most often, is really convenient.
That said, I do think the price of these Sony Earbuds to be a bit higher than they should be, IMO. But the Sony quality is there, and the level of audio performance truly did impress me.
Hi Janine, thanks for your lovely review! We're so glad you are having such a great time using our new LinkBuds! We understand your concern regarding the price of the WFLS910N. Sony aims to deliver high-quality products that offer excellent sound and durability. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with the relevant teams to help us continue improving our products. Thanks for choosing Sony! ~Earl

I never thought that I would fall into love with a third party pair of earbuds as much as I did with these Sony LinkBuds. I didn't want to like the fact that they were little and roundish things that went into my ears, but they are so incredibly light you almost forget they are in. and the "flimsy" rubber supporter they've called the Air Supporters are practically magic with how they keep these buds in even during a way sweaty workout at the gym. I put these puppies through the ringer when it came to trying to get them to fall out and honestly couldn't get them to! Superbly impressive! The sound that these little buds puts out makes me wonder how Sony could possibly put drivers into such small things to pump out such Awesome low end bass while still driving crisp highs and not muddling mid tones. This is Sony at their absolute best. Their adaptive sound control is a pretty sweet function that honestly you barely notice is on when you use it. Their Ambient Sound Control technology is still not as crisp or clear as it could be and it takes a lot of playing around with the app to tweak it to where you would want it and trying to do it on the fly for different situations can be time consuming and counterproductive. Speaking of that because they are third party they do need a special app called Sound Connect to access all the functions of the headphones and I feel that's probably one of the main drawbacks of using these, when coming from an enclosed ecosystem. The app makes up for it though with the sheer number of functions it allows for. The amount of personalization you can do between the EQ and the adaptive sound control makes me feel like I'm making my experience truly unique to me. There is one thing that I feel I must mention in this review however and that's the fact that the LinkBuds push to optimize with "360 Reality Audio" you receive a code for a free month of it which I can only assume is something akin to dolby atmos. Not to make comparisons but demoing it during the app setup reminded me heavily of another company that has something called "Spacial Audio" that is baked into their products, certainly a drawback to have to pay for a service versus getting it with the product. That being said, The music still sounds beyond excellent even without 360 Reality Audio, and if you don't have it you certainly won't miss it. Overall for a third party pair of earbuds, these certainly deliver on sound, drawbacks aside, and I've very impressed with the functionality and customization, as well as the superior fit; these will certainly be my mainstays for hitting the gym, knowing they will stay secure and my music will sounds superior! I would certainly recommend these to anyone who isn't tied to a specific techno-ecosystem and is looking for a pair of light and fantastic sounding earbuds that will deliver on all tonal ranges of music.
Hi ObiRob, We truly appreciate you taking the time to share this wonderful feedback! Glad to hear you like the incredibly lightweight design, excellent fit, amazing sound quality, crisp highs, awesome low-end bass, great mids, and overall features and functionality of your new Sony Linkbuds Fit. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam

Noise cancelling not working

Overall, these earbuds are pretty good. They fit well, and they don't make my ears hurt or seem to have problems with falling out. The sound quality is good, and the construction is good as well. Music and video both sound good with these, and the app works great. I haven't had any technical issues with pairing or loss of connectivity, and the battery life is satisfactory - they've lasted several hours without issue, and I've not yet had to take them out to charge them while I've been in the middle of doing something.
There's also a lot of nice extras. You can turn on a setting so when you start talking, the earbuds will automatically pause music and switch to ambient mode. You change the Bluetooth connection mode to prioritize connection quality or sound quality, and you can configure what the buttons do as well as set up things like head gestures. I'm genuinely impressed with how many settings you can change. You can also connect them to multiple devices at once, which I'm always a fan of - it's very nice to have them hooked up to, say, a phone and a PC or a phone and a work phone.
I think my one complaint about them is that the noise cancellation is a little... weak. They don't seem to do very well at blocking out external sound that isn't extremely regular. I know that's kind of not even what ANC is necessarily for in the first place, but they seem to do kind of worse at it than other headsets I've used. I've also noticed that one of the features is Adaptive Sound Control - the headset will automatically change the noise cancellation / ambient setting based on what you're doing. While it seems to be good at actually changing the setting, it doesn't really seem to help much when the ANC doesn't really work that well in the first place.
Overall, I think these are a very good pair of earbuds, and I'd absolutely recommend them; especially if you're really into customization. There's a lot to like about these. However, if quality ANC is a dealbreaker for you, I'd say to go for another pair.
Thank you for your detailed review of the LinkBuds Fit. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the fit, exceptional sound quality, and customization options of the earbuds. Regarding your concern about the noise canceling (ANC) performance, it's important to note that the ANC function in the LinkBuds Fit is primarily designed to reduce low-frequency noises such as those from vehicles or air conditioning. It may not be as effective at canceling out irregular or higher-frequency sounds. If the headset is not being worn properly in your ears, the noise canceling function may not work correctly. Twist the headset to put it into your ears properly.

No one can hear anything i say. Id say it was human error but I bought a pair, had some issues returned them and got another pair and had the same issues.
We're sorry to hear the LinkBuds aren't cutting out the wind noise as you'd hoped for motorcycle riding.

The noise canceling is non-existent.
And Best Buy's 15 day return policy is a scam. Now I'm stuck with these earbuds that don't perform as advertised.
A very expensive disappointment. I won't be buying from here again.
