Great earbuds!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My old headphones broke and I needed a new pair. I'm a fan of Sony electronics given that I work as a videographer and we exclusively use Sony gear. I bought these because the price was a good deal and wouldn't break the bank. Great sound, great noise cancelling. Highly recommend

Sony earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is really good. The noise canceling works well, but I felt like they were not a good fit. There are multiple ear pieces to find your custom fit, but I never the ear buds were securely fit in my ear.

Okay but not my favs

Posted .Hi KiraM,
Thanks so much for the feedback. We're really sorry to hear that the LinkBuds S didn't live up to your expectations with their noise canceling and sound quality. That's definitely not the experience we want you to have.
We have a couple of recommendations that might help improve the noise canceling and sound quality for you.
-Try all the different ear tip sizes. The LinkBuds S come with a few different sizes. Getting a good and tight fit is the secret to getting the best noise canceling and sound.
-Use the Sound Connect app. In the app, you can fine-tune the noise canceling to match your surroundings and adjust the equalizer settings to get the sound just the way you like it. Playing around with these settings can often make a big difference.
If you've already tried these steps and you're still not happy with the performance, we suggest to contact our support team at https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.
Sincerely,
Estefany
Small and Mighty
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you need a good lightweight pair of wireless earbuds that are comfortable, look no further. Sony has a great product for a fair price with these earbuds. They are not quite as good sounding as the WF-1000XM4s but these also are much lighter and I don't even notice them. The noise canceling is not the best but top notch. If you haven't tried Sony earbuds, give these a try.

Noise Cancelling allows for immersive listening :)
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The auto is great and they has decent base for an in ear piece. The noise cancelling works great. My husband has to tap me on the shoulder to get my attention. I can really enjoy my shows or music while doing choirs. These are an important part of my "me" time.

Great sound but uncomfortable for me
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds sound great and have some cool features. They have terrific noise canceling, excellent EQ customization, and a stable connection. My main problem was that my right ear bud was excruciatingly uncomfortable. I wish it fit better because I probably would've kept them otherwise. These also don't have multipoint or wireless charging. Assuming these are comfortable for you, I would recommend them if your focus is music and you value sound quality. I mostly use my buds for podcasts and switching between Chromebook and my Pixel phone, so I went with the Pixel Buds Pro instead. I really wish that I loved these, but it wasn't meant to be. They're great if they fit your ears though.

Posted .Hi Drew4723, While we're glad that you like the sound quality noise canceling function, stable connection, and EQ customization, we regret that you find the right bud uncomfortable. For comfortable listening experience, twist the headset unit to slide the earbud tip deep into your ear canal.
When you put the headset unit into your ear or adjust the positioning of the headset unit, see the illustration in step 2 for how to hold the headset unit.

Posted .Hi MarkB,
We appreciate you being a long time Sony user. We also regret to hear that you're having issues with the sound and call quality and had to be returned.

It is unfortunate that we can no longer help you troubleshoot your problem. We are optimistic that you will consider Sony again in your future purchases. Best regards - Marco

Posted .Hi ChelseaD,
It is unfortunate to know that your two pairs of LinkBuds S had to be returned due to the connection issue you 've encountered with the app (Sony Headphones Connect app). This is definitely not the experience we were hoping you would have. For any issues, we always recommend visiting our support website. There you can find help guides, manuals, and troubleshooting articles that may help solve any problem with the unit.

You can also contact us for assistance in searching for something which may meet your need.

Left earbud doesn't work alone

Posted .Hi Olimpus1101,
Thank you for your time writing this review. While we're glad that you like most of the features, we're sorry you've been running into difficulty. We'd love to troubleshoot this and make this a better experience for you. The Sony LinkBuds S support the use of one unit by itself. In this case, only the unit that has been removed from the charging case will turn on. Check if the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa is set to the headphones.
Note: When the Service Link feature is turned On in the Sony | Headphones Connect app, only the Right side can be used by itself. You can't use only the Left side by itself.
Make sure the touch sensor control function or Voice Assistant function is set according to the way you use the earbuds. When these functions are enabled, only the side with the touch sensor control function set to Playback control can be used by itself.
• If you want to use either side of the earbuds by itself (only the Left or only the Right): Set the touch sensor control function of the desired side to Playback control.
Note: When you assign Playback control to both sides, full functionality is only available on the Right side.
• If you want to alternate using either side by itself (sometimes use only the Left and sometimes use only the Right): Set the Voice Assistant function to Voice Assist Function of Mobile Device. With this setting, either side of the headphones can be used by itself.
If there is no sound from the earbud headphones, or sound is heard only from one side, check if the issue is resolved after completing each step on this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00278101
