I would recommend this to a friendNot for small ears or loud music
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really really really wanted to love these earbuds. I have a Samaung S21 Ultra and an iPhone 12. I really loved that the earbuds and the app paired very well with both devices and I could connect the headphones to both devices at once, if I wanted. I loved that! I previously had the 1st generation Samsung earbuds, which I loved until a shortage took out my left bud. These reminded me of those. I also loved the compact size of the charging case. The noise cancelling is good as well. On the flip side, these buds did not fit into my ears. I had to force them and turn them and they still didn't fit well, even with the smallest tips. When is I'd turn my head left and right, the buds would disconnect and reconnect. I wouldn't dare run in these. They have nothing to secure them in your ear, so they need to fit perfectly or it'll never work. They also didn't get loud enough for me. I took these back after a week and replaced them with the Bose Quietcomfort (not the II). LOOOOOOVE those earbuds and the flexible wingtip for your ear. Overall.... these are are solid earbuds, but if you have small ears, these probably aren't for you. If you like your music loud, these aren't for you. GREAT for conversations though! They really cancel out background noise so your caller hears you super clear (unless there are people talking around you. It picks up voices).

Posted .Hi Tiana,
While we are glad to hear that you love the multipoint connection feature (available after installing the latest firmware update), compact size of the charging case, industry-leading noise canceling feature, and crystal-clear call quality of our LinkBuds S, we regret to know that it had to be returned due to fit and volume/loudness issues. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. For optimum sound quality, fit, comfort, and to keep the LinkBuds S from falling out, we always recommend following the steps on these articles:

I would recommend this to a friendConnectivity can be spotty
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great, and these have some really cool control / app features. The bluetooth connection can be a little spotty sometimes. I'll have music playing, but when my phone rings, it won't answer the call in the headphones. Only happens on occasion and it's when I have more than one phone connected, hoping a software update will fix that; It's the only reason these aren't five stars for me.

She says hands down the best earbuds ever for noise overstimulation. Would recommend to those suffering from misophonia.

I'd strongly recommend these:
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like em a lot! They're made to fit any ear canal. It's easy to go from ambient listening to noise-cancelling by tapping the left earbud. Volume can also be controlled by the touching of the earbud(s). And - that battery last longer than other earbud brands I own.

Good for the price. Great on sale
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, great pair of earbuds that i only have a few complaints about. They feel good, sound great, and are very easy to setup and use. Battery life is superb and these earbuds live up to the Sony name. Only complaint that i might have is keeping them in for long periods of time (5+ hours or more) starts to irritate my ears. Connectivity while walking can also be a bit glitchy at times, but supports a far range and doesn’t often trip up.

A good buy, after good advice.
||Posted .

I really want to thank the sales person who so enthusiastically showed me my way around ear pods. I would have bought the same ones, again but like these far better. Thank you.

Linkbuds S
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely great earbuds. They’re the second best sounding earbuds I’ve used, right behind the AirPods Pro 2, and even then they’re pretty close. They have a lot of nice features and they are very customizable thanks to Sony’s app. ANC is pretty good, although they’re behind Apple imo, and same with transparency mode. I had some issues with multi point connection and i ended up disabling that feature. But overall they’re really good.
