    Wind Noise in single earbud

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

    I received these two days ago and there is already a constant "wind" like noise droning in the right ear bud, both in noise cancelling and ambient modes. I was really looking forward to these since Sony is a tried and true brand for top audio quality but this was a let down.

    Excellent sound quality. ANC is superb. These are smaller and more comfortable than the XM4 buds. I returned those to get this pair and I am much happier with my purchase. I like the Google Assistant integration. The ambient mode is nice for environments where you need to hear your surroundings.

    I loved these while they worked, but after just a year and a half there seems to be something wrong with the batteries. The left ear bud lasts just minutes and the right, maybe an hour. Definitely not worth the money if they can’t even last two years.

      Hi Ness,

      Thanks for sharing your honest review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the use of only one unit of the headset. The Sony LinkBuds S support the use of one unit by itself. This means they can be configured to only output sound to one earbud, while the other earbud stays in the charging case. If you want to use only one side of the earbuds (only the Left or only the Right), check that the earbud you want to use by itself is set to Playback control. For more details, refer to this helpful link.
