    I was amazed at the bass response from these earbuds! I had considered getting bose, but the sound of these and the price difference was a no-brainer! Great set of earbuds, and comfortable too!

    Good sound quality, good comfort, good battery life. Odd texture on the case, but seems to be slowly going away. Good for the price, but nothing really stands out.

    I got these since the Samsung Galaxy Buds were destroying my ears. They have some kind of a metal alloy that a very big percentage of people are allergic to it seems. This works great. The battery life is good. The only downside I found was that when I have the phone in my right pocket and use both buds while walking, there's interruptions from time to time which is very annoying. It goes away if I only use the one that's on the same side as the phone.

    EQ for bass, super comfortable to wear all day

    Got these to replace my AirPod Pro gen 1. I’ve tried the newest gen Pros and the sound quality just didn’t work for me. The Linkbuds S work surprisingly well. Great sound quality once you mess with the EQ. The ANC and transparency mode is on par with the Pros. The best thing I like about these is that they’re extremely comfortable, I can wear these for multiple hours even sleep with them since they don’t push into your ear when you sleep on your side. These will connect to multiple devices but you need to update to the latest firmware For the price and quality I would recommend these over the AirPods Pro

      Hi Ejyy, We're truly delighted to hear about your satisfaction with the features and amazing performance of your LinkBuds S. We regret to learn the you've had experienced issues with the noise canceling not sufficient on these earbud headphones. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. The noise canceling effects may not be achieved depending on how the headset units are worn. To make the most of the noise canceling function, we recommend to make sure that headphones are worn properly and also turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it. The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    These earbuds are honestly a solid eight out of 10. I like their noise, cancellation and transparency mode a little bit more than the Apple version these fit so snug in the ear and are so comfortable to wear. They don’t slip as easily as the apple version the touch sensitivity is really sensitive so I like that I can just barely touch it and I adjust the volume or adjust the playback features, I’m glad that I purchased this product.

    I think these are absolutely great! I love everything about them except one small little feature that would be nice to update would be being able to keep the noise cancelling off when I turn it off and then allow me to turn it back on with out automatically switching even moving a feet or few feet. Other than that I love it and the 360 feature is incredible along with his well the noise cancelling feature works. Great buy!

    Best Sounding Buds I’ve used

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Wow, sound is Amazing & fitment is solid, makes you forget about case not being wireless charging ( still a bummer). I got these today set up & wore for hrs. Getting used to touch control was a slight learning curve. Just have to lightly tap bud for volume, track change etc. Buds themself are sneak & SUPER LIGHT weight, wore for about 2+ hours I’d say comfort level is 7\8 new foams can make a 10 ( easy fix) app is decent, used EQ and sound/ music is perfect for me now. I own Jabra 75T, Beats Fit Pros & ditched the Air pod pros a while back. These are hands down best sounding buds I’ve used to date. ANC is solid also. Beats FIT PROS were my favorite till today ( I’ll still use) Hoping an update allows the face touch instead of having to touch bud like the Linksbuds ( donuts) offer- cool feature. So in short: Sound, quality, size, ease of use 100% solid! The case not being wireless is just dead wrong now a days! I was close to getting XM4 , but size isn’t too my liking. Good purchase
