    I was looking for wireless buds I have 3 different brand and wanted another one after checking several reviews on you tube and websites I make the decision to buy it. I like the earbuds it was what I was looking for. Excellent size , great noise cancellation the weight was perfect but the sound just was disappointed it was too good to be true. I tried to fall in love with them to see if can keep them but I can't. I just returned it to the store.

      Hi BJorge,

      Thank you for your review. While we are pleased that you are satisfied with the small & lightweight design and industry-leading noise canceling function of our LinkBuds S, we are so sorry if its sound quality didn't live up to your expectations and that it had to be returned. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have. For issue with the sound quality, the following articles might help solve this problem:

    Early battery life degradation

    Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    *When it works* this is a very good product -- good sound, good ANC, relatively easy to use. What is disqualifying is how fast the battery life deteriorated in the right earbud (after a little more than a year of not heavy use) -- down to an erratic 15-30 minutes before exhaustion. Of course, >12 mos. is beyond warranty coverage, and all that Sony will do is throw a litany of reset steps at you before referring you to their hand-selected repair service. What's frustrating is that this seems to be a long-existing problem for which Sony has no effective fix. I'd buy another pair if I could be confident that the battery life issue wouldn't repeat itself, but I have no such trust. Also don't believe that repair could possibly be cost-effective over replacement. Bottom line, it's a good product *if* you can keep it working for more than a few mins at a stretch. Currently shopping for other brands to replace.

    The most comfortable ear buds I've had. They never fall out. The only thing a would improve is the distance from the device . Have to be pretty close for it to not loss the signal
