    Perfect for someone who has smaller ear canals. Tried a ton of different ear buds and these finally fit my ears the best.

    Overall sound quality and fit is awesome. They only last about 2-2.5 hours on a full charge. Now one earbud cuts out regularly and I have to place it back into the case for a few seconds to reset it. Not worth the money.

      Hi CurtisD,

      We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Sony LinkBuds S. While the sound quality and fit seem to have been on point initially, the battery life and connectivity issues you've encountered are definitely frustrating. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. While it is normal for the battery consumption rate to vary somewhat between the left and right earbuds due to function settings and conditions of use, a significant difference between the earbuds, when regularly used together, should not occur. If the available operating time (on either or both Left/Right headsets) is short or the battery power does not last long, as a first step, check these articles to make sure you are charging the earbuds properly:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/linkbuds-s/articles/00278102
      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/linkbuds-s/articles/00278103

      A separate article is available if there is no sound from the earbud headphones, or sound is heard only from one side, check if the issue is resolved after completing each step on this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/linkbuds-s/articles/00278101

      If the steps in the article above do not remedy the issue and may we contact you to help and get more information? If so, please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com.

    I came back to write these after I had them for a year. The sound quality on these is okay at best. I have had better headphone for half the price. The noise cancelling works okay. They are comfortable in the ears and stay in place well. The biggest downfall is that I replaced these after a year because they wouldn't hold a charge. I use them a good bit for the gym and travel, but the battery going out after a year is crazy. These just aren't worth the $200 price tag. They'd be nice headphones at $99 or so.

Sony’s Integrated Processor V1 improves noise cancellation, enhances sound quality, and reduces distortion. Thank you for choosing Sony!
