Great but weird texture
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second pair of these. The the case is matte black and scuffs super easy. I previously had the white ones and the inside coating if paint wore down really quick which made the inside look real dirty. The exterior was great tho and felt higher quality than this one. This version feels a little cheaper made. Other than that its great sound and easy to use.

Posted .Hi Billy, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review of your Sony Linkbuds S. While w're glad you like the excellent sound quality and volume output of these earbuds, we regret to hear that you're having an issue with the fit. If you feel the size of the earbud tips does not fit to your ears, change the earbud tips. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The size of the left and right earbud tips may be different.

Excellent sound quality!

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, Neil!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you are experiencing the excellent sound performance and noise reduction of your WF-LS900N/B LinkBuds S. It's wonderful to know that they have surpassed your expectations, especially when compared to other popular earbuds!
We appreciate your honest comment regarding the battery life. We designed these earbuds to be incredibly compact and lightweight for all-day wear, and we understand that this is a compromise many manufacturers face when balancing size with battery capacity. The LinkBuds S are officially rated for up to 6 hours of continuous playback with noise cancellation on, plus an additional 14 hours from the case.
Since you use them for about 4 hours daily, we are glad they cover your listening session. We hope the quick charging feature (up to 60 minutes of playtime from a 5-minute charge) helps bridge the gap when you need a quick boost!
Thank you again for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was impressed with the sound and function in the beginning. Less than a year in, my right earbud battery last half the time of the left earbud & since the left bud does not work without the right bud they are useless to me.

10/10 Earbuds (I’ve purchased them twice)
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of all the earbuds I’ve tried on, these are the most comfortable, best sounding, and best noise canceling I’ve ever tried on/owned. I will say this however, the first pair I owned only lasted me a little over a year (a full charge would only last 20 minutes, everything else was fine) . I feel Like most earbuds last around that long before having issues though. I bought another pair because apart from that issue, I love everything else. Overall, as of March 2024, I prefer these over any other earbuds. Including the newer 1000xm5s. :)

Great Headphones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent headphones, I use them every night, good sound quality and they stay in my ears!
I would recommend this to a friendReplaced Sony WF-1000X
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wireless noise canceling has gotten so much better in 5 years. The batteries were dyeing on my old Sony wf-1000x (the first generation ones). They were good for their time, but these are lighter, fit better, have better noise cancelation, are better for phone calls, and sound at least as good. I also have a set of WH-1000XM4 over the ear that are excellent, especially on a plane, but I can only wear them for so long. I cannot compare sound to the new pixel buds pro, but I like that these are smaller in the ear. I do wish they had more control over what the tap effects do... I don't use spotify, so being able to assign double-tap to bring up the google assistant would be nice.
