    they are excellent. I wish there was a little more base but then again I wish that for all earbuds. The sound is exceptional, good equalizer to change how you want it via the app, More one touch command options than I would ever use. These are pretty hard to beat I've used several. Good job

      Hi ShawnT, Thanks for sharing your impression on the Sony WFLS900N/B Wireless Earbuds. We're glad that you like the sound quality. Link your worlds as LinkBuds S switch seamlessly between superlative noise canceling and natural ambient sound. Smart features and settings learn from your behavior and automatically adjust sound settings to provide the right sound for the moment. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these Sony earbuds so you can keep on moving to the music. 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 quality, and reduces distortion. We also appreciate your feedback about the bass sound. This will help us improve on our future products. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Craig Sony_US

    Feels comfortable inside the ear and seems stable during regular workouts, although i feel like during strenuous exercises it might fall out. The app and connectivity seems finicky and sometimes one earbud would not connect.

      Hi Andrew, Thank you for the great review! We're glad you like comfortable fit of your Sony Linkbuds S. If you feel the size of the earbud tips does not fit or might fall out from 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.

      Please make sure that the firmware version of the app is up to date.

      And to ensure you get the best Bluetooth connection and to prevent the headphones from getting disconnected, please follow the troubleshooting steps on the link below:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000537649.html

    It is light, very light on my ears. That is best thing. sound is decent I also have mx-4. sound is not near but sound is decent. battery life is so so... If you use noise canceling battery drain is rapid. noise canceling is no way near mx-4. After 10 months of use one side is not charging and I am about to claim warranty.

      Hi davidK,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the LinkBuds S. We're glad that you like the comfort of the headphones. We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the sound quality and battery life. It's also unfortunate that one side is not charging.

      For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).

      It is recommended to wear both earbuds properly. If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance. If any of this is the case, try the following:

      -Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. 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.
      -The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips are most suitable for you to achieve the optimal noise cancellation effect.
      -Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.

      Additionally, you can use the Equalizer/CLEAR BASS setting of the Sony app to fine-tune the sound quality to your needs. For more information, please refer to these links:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000445573.html
      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000447718.html

      Please note that usage hours may vary depending on the settings and usage conditions. Make sure to charge both earbuds sufficiently. You may refer to this link for more information:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000447703.html

      Regarding the issue with one side not charging, resetting and initializing the headset may help resolve the issue. Please refer to the steps on these links:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000449912.html

    I had AirPods then bought these just to try them out. I ended up giving my AirPods away after having these for an hour. The sound is so crisp on these and the bass is immaculate. The only downside is everything for these buds is done through an app. But if you can get past that these are a top of the line product. I definitely recommend. If you use Tidal as your music streaming service you can get 360 spatial sound.

    I have small ears so I have major issues with finding comfortable earbuds. When i can find comfortable earbuds they have poor sound quality. These give both sound qaulity and comfort. The noise cancellation is not as good as my Bose quiet Confort Earbuds but are more comfortable and I can wear them for hours and hours iwithout issue.

      Hi JohnW,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the LinkBuds S. Your feedback about its fit is greatly appreciated. For optimum fit and comfort, make sure that you are wearing the headphones properly:

      1. Put the headset units into both ears. Put the headset unit with the (left) mark into your left ear and the headset unit with the (right) mark into your right ear. The left unit has a tactile dot.

      2. Adjust the fit of the headset to your ears. Twist the headset unit to slide the earbud tip deep into your ear canal.
