      Hi WyattM,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the Sony LinkBuds S. We're glad that you like the sound quality of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are experiencing a loud noise when using the headphones. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).

      Some devices that emit ultrasonic sound waves designed to repel rodents may occasionally be installed at the entrances of commercial facilities or subway stations. Near such devices, the ultrasonic sound waves may cause noise or unusual sound to be heard from the headset. Leave the place where the noise or unusual sound is heard or turn off the noise canceling function/Ambient Sound Mode from the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.

    With minimal use for video calls and music, these did not even last a year and a half. The left earbud stopped working and I can no longer go into pairing mode. I stepped out of my comfort zone and bought Sony, never again!
