||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have quickly grown to love these earbuds. The sound quality on these headphones is truly amazing. There's a depth to the music that my other pairs of headphones can't deliver. They have taken listening to music to another level. The noise cancelling on the Linkbuds S is also fantastic. The earbuds themselves are very light, which means that I barely feel them when they're in my ears. The case itself is also pretty small. One note I want to make about sizing: I typically wear medium or large tips with my earbuds (e.g., JBL Reflect Aero). With the Linkbuds S I need to wear the large tips--if I don't the noise cancelling doesn't work very well (due to poor sound isolation). I mention this in part to give guidance on sizing for others. I also mention it because some people wonder about the size difference between the LinkBuds S and the Sony WF-1000XM4 (with many people saying the XM4's are much larger inside the ear).

Sound Quality is Garbled!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, I have to say the truth here is. I've tried several Bluetooth for my job. I will have to say JVC was one of the best and Sony needs to work on their sound quality. These Bluetooth are very comfortable, but the sound quality is very garble.

Better at $50 off
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid headphones. At full retail I'd expect wireless charging given that it is standard amongst competitors. Do have to charge the case a bit more often then I would like, but headphones themselves have amazing battery life even with ANC on. ANC is good, blocks most noise. Do note I mostly use these in an office environment or at home and almost never use them elsewhere. Ambient sound is pretty good when you're not having a conversation, but when you do it's an odd experience. Listening to music is a great experience, if you are listening to something that is not bass heavy. On sale they are a good value. At full retail, consider them, admire them, and hope they go on sale so you don't purchase them at full price. 4 Stars because I got them on sale, otherwise they are a solid 3. 3 because they are better then most, but most others (at the same price point) offer rival sound and are more feature rich.

Posted .Hi JzlC,
Thank you for the review and we're glad you like the battery performance and noise canceling of the headphones. 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. Thank you for choosing Sony!

David

Nice Sony Earbuds but.....
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are nice. They fit well and I like the noise canceling and the option to here my surroundings. The music sounds really great and I can skip to the next song if I want. However, I can't go back to repeat a song and must importantly I can't control the volume. I thought if I swirled my finger around the left bud, the volume would go up or down. Instead I have to use my phone to control the volume. This would've been beneficial for me. I also can't pause it on the first try. I have to tap it more than once to pause which makes me have to pull them out my ears when someone approaches me or begins to talk.

Posted .Hi CherylB, Great! We're glad you like the comfortable fit, noise cancelling feature, and great sound quality of your Sony Linkbuds S.
You can actually go to the previous track and adjust the volume using the touch sensor of the linkbuds without using your smartphone. You will just have to setup these features using the "Sony | Headphones Connect” app. For more information, please refer to this link:

Battery's not long for this world.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great. The noise canceling and pass-through also sound great. Great connection with my phone and watch, I never had drop-outs. The battery life, when new, was great. However, the battery is now to the point where the right earbud is dead after 25-30 minutes despite starting with a full charge. These are only 15 months old, of course just outside the warranty window. That's a major disappointment and makes these effectively short-term e-waste. I suppose it's a similar story for most earbuds, unfortunately.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these in Nov 22 and so far I thought the best you can get, however I began experiencing problems with one side where the battery does not fully charge (gets to 80% only). Now that side will drain the battery in less than 1 hour while the other side is still at 85%. I really like them but so disappointed on this and Sony will not offer any discounts to replace them as Bose and others will do...

Posted .Hi NicolasG,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern. While we're happy that you like the incredible audio, we're so sorry to hear that you are having some battery draining issues with your LinkBuds S earbud headphones. This is definitely not the customer experience we want you to have. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated.
For available operating time of the unit, depending on the settings for the headset functions and usage conditions, the speed of energy consumption for the rechargeable battery may vary between the left and right units. This is not a malfunction. However, when regularly used together, should not occur.

Comfort, great sound, unreliable battery
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality and perfect fit for my ear, they stay even when I'm moving, walking, working. Sadly, the right earbud battery broke after a year. Only last less than 30 minutes and it's very annoying, basically I only have 1 bud and 1 temporary (while thenleft one charges). I don't know if I would buy this one again.

First Pair of True Wireless Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first pair of true wireless earbuds, and they are really good. I have been hesitant to buy wireless earbuds because of the size and weight, and these are small and light, and they stay in my ears really well. The Noise cancelling and "transparent mode" called ambient mode both work really well. I can use them for about 3 hours and have around 45% of battery using noise cancelling, which I feel is pretty good. The app is also pretty useful, and it has a lot of features that I don't use since I just use them while at work, and I sit at work almost all day. One thing that was concerning that I found a fix for was when I set them up I enabled google assistant, and it ended up draining the right bud way faster than the left, up to 20% sometimes. I turned it off, and now it is within 6% of each other at all times. The case charges the buds pretty quickly, although there are faster options for sure. I know I'll keep an eye on this line of buds, and hope they get a refresh in a year or 2.

Posted .Hi Ejyy, We're truly delighted to hear about your satisfaction with the features and amazing performance of your LinkBuds S. We regret to learn the you've had experienced issues with the noise canceling not sufficient on these earbud headphones. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. The noise canceling effects may not be achieved depending on how the headset units are worn. To make the most of the noise canceling function, we recommend to make sure that headphones are worn properly and also turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it. The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Jess
Fantastic Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start off by saying these are by far the most comforting earbuds I've worn so far straight out of the box! I've had the Galaxy Buds Pro, those were too big and heavy. Had the Airpods Pro, those always felt like they'd fall out. But these are hardly even noticible in my ears. They're small, lightweight, and have a solid fit. As for sound quality, they're the best sounding buds I've tried so far, with good range and balance. The noise cancelling is top notch, which is no surprise from Sony, but the transparency mode is something else. I honestly thought the Airpods Pro transparency was good, but these are even better, its almost like im not even wearing the buds! But, no product is perfect, these are no exception. To be completely honest, the case feels cheap for $200 earbuds. I know they're made of recycled plastic, but you can definitely feel it a little too much. And worst of all in my opinion, there is no bluetooth multipoint. So if you got multiple devices, you'll have to manually reconnect when switching devices. Other than that, they're great!

Posted .Hi FoxyEntity,
Fabulous! We are really thrilled to hear you are satisfied with the exceptional sound quality, small & lightweight for all-day comfort design, fantastic noise canceling & ambient sound features, and superb performance of your new LinkBuds S. Your feedback with the built of the charging case is truly appreciated. For multipoint, we are sorry if these headphones don't support this function. The LinkBuds S can be paired with multiple devices (up to 8)—though it can play audio from only 1 paired device at a time.
With LinkBuds S, you’re always connected to your everyday worlds. Ultra-small and light, they can be worn comfortably around the clock, keeping you in touch with people and places. LinkBuds S switches automatically to optimized ambient sound or high-quality noise canceling for listening without distractions.
