    Sound quality is amazing! The controls are a lot to learn but once you’ve got them down it’s great. These don’t fall out of my ears and the noise cancelling is truly noise canceling. Also the battery life is ridiculous I can not charge the case for days and still have life left.

    Great Earbuds But Not For My Specific Needs

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

    I wanted to find a pair of earbuds that I could use at work for office calls that I also didn't have to take off to function with customers and co-workers. I had a very specific need in mind: ambient noise passthrough. The Sony Linkbuds S was my third choice of Sony's lineup, and they only work so so for my needs. The biggest issue is phone calls. When ambient noise passthrough is on, the caller complains of being "on speaker" and hearing echoes and noise on the call. With those issues, I can't use them for business, and that's why I had to rate them as low as I did. Please note: for someone seeking active noise canceling, an audiophile, or someone who won't be using them primarily for phone calls, these are brilliant for their price point.

    The sound quality is pretty good. Battery life is about what I expected, though I've had better. The bluetooth isn't amazing though. It's a shorter range than my old, cheaper, skullcandies and gets interrupted easier. They're a decent pair of headphones but I'm honestly probably going to go back to skullcandy after these are done. However if they're on sale they're a pretty good pair.

    I have been using these ear buds for a year. I love them, very comfortable to wear. Audio quality is excellent for the price. In order to achieve best sound quality, I downloaded the app and modified the settings. If you do not tweak the settings you may not have the best experience. Battery life have been great so far.

      Hi DavisOil2983,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the LinkBuds S. Your feedback about the Bluetooth range is greatly appreciated. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (30 feet). The maximum communication distance may vary depending on the presence of obstacles (people, metal objects, walls, etc.) or the electromagnetic environment. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the earbuds is up-to-date. Hope this helps. Thank you for choosing Sony!

A newly developed 5mm driver unit, featuring a high-compliance diaphragm, helps keep the LinkBuds S small while driving your music with rich low frequency bass sound. Sony’s Integrated Processor V1 improves noise cancellation, enhances sound, reduces distortion.

    I got these expecting they would fit and perform well. They do provide good clear sound and the noise canceling works really well. I just wished they wouldn’t keep falling out of my ear even after trying all the bud tips. I had to use a special tip from a set of older buds and they ok at the moment but still seems to not fit stable without falling out of my ears.

      Hi SonyBuds, Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sony Linkbuds S. While we're glad to hear that you are impressed with the sound quality and noise canceling feature, we're sad to hear that you have concerns with the fittings. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. We understand that finding the perfect fit can vary from person to person. If you've already tried changing the earbud tips to another size and you're still having issues with fit, we suggest trying out third-party earbud tips.

      We'll also take this as feedback as it can help us improve in the future.
