Decent earbuds for the price.

Underwhelming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m not really impressed. Sound quality & fit are middle of rhe road. Noise cancellation - not really. First Sony earbuds I have bought, doesn’t make me want to go back and try other Sony earbuds.

Posted .Hi HeathB,
We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the LinkBuds S. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.
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.

Use of both
|Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Sound is great, they fit perfect in the ear and feel secure while doing activities. Only downside I am having is not being able to wear only one at a time. I have to wear both. I jave tried reaching out to Sony for support and the advice given to me has not fixed the issue. If you don't mind having to wear both, I recommend them. I also sometimes struggle with them connecting automatically to my phone.

Not for me
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn’t like the fact that they had touch controls. My ears are small so with headphones like these i have to push them in a lot. Everytime I wound push them back in some control would go off, which was very frustrating. Didn’t feel stable in my ears and would start sliding every couple of seconds. I returned and i’m sticking to my Beats pros.

Battery life not durable
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So i bought these earbuds 1 year ago and sound quality is good, noise cancelling is good, i would say everything else is good, but the battery life is not good. Recently the left earbud keeps discharging at a fast rate where i have to keep charging it in my case every 30 minutes. The right one is good but im pretty sure soon enough it will also go bad because im also noticing that when i leave these earbuds charging overnight, they dont fully charge to 100% , their maximum charge is now 85% - 90%. Again, I only had these for 1 year and the battery life is starting to go bad. That is bad for earbuds that cost $150. They should last longer than that.
