    I am able to cut the grass and listen to talk radio. I tried all the buds in 200 price range and these are the best.

    I love these little earbuds! They link effortlessly to different devices, have great sound, and fit perfectly in my ears. I struggle to wear earbuds due to larger, ill-fitting buds. But these little gems are wonderful! Bonus points because they also work wonderfully with my pixel phone, Google tablet, and my Mac work laptop and iMac. I can't say the same for my expensive Jabra earbuds, that don't play nice with zoom or non-mobile devices.

    Excellent sound quality compared to other buds I’ve tested. They beat out the AirPods Pro no contest, and same with their older big sibling the XM4’s. For the price, the audio is crisp and punchy, great battery life, nice build material and nice looking, and VERY lightweight.

    Good ear buds. Sound quality, functionality are all good. Only issue is there is not notification of messages through headphones. Have to search app again for setting. Great for under $150, anything higher just upgrade to the m4 or m5.

    These headphones come in a small ecofriendly packaging. While these headphones seem small, they have great sound, and last a while. Be mindful to try the different ear tips included as it might be too big for the ear and it might get uncomfortable. The noise cancelling and audio that comes out of these earbuds are superb for the price. Sony, please come out with a wireless charging case on the next iteration of these.

    I was looking for earbuds and was confused between airpods 2 pro, bose and linkbuds. Finally i went ahead with linkbuds and i made the best choice of my life. Linkbuds s are very light, you can keep this in your ears for hours and your ears dont pain. The sound quality is also great with the selection of preset equalizer. The best part of these earbuds is the Active Noise Cancellation feature. I am happy with my purchase. Great Work Sony.
