Punished for getting them as a gift
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this product as a gift. The battery life was great for about 6 months, then they stopped working after using for 3 to 4 minutes at a time. Sony refused to honor the warranty without receipt and said if I could not get the receipt from my friend it didn't matter of they don't work, there is no return. If you do buy them, keep the receipt or they won't help you either!

Severe Battery Drainage
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Until recently, I found the Sony Linkbuds S earbuds to be decent. However, I've experienced some frustrating issues with the left earbud turning off unexpectedly. It sometimes restarts after a few taps or when placed back in the charging case. About a month ago, the left earbud's battery began draining rapidly, lasting less than 20 minutes per charge. I attempted two factory resets but saw no improvement. I reached out to Sony's customer service, including a conversation with a supervisor. Unfortunately, they seemed more focused on informing me that the earbuds were past the one-year warranty than on providing any potential solutions. The supervisor showed little concern that these earbuds are less than two years old and cost over $150. It appears that Sony is willing to manufacture earbuds with a lifespan of under two years. While your experience may vary, I question why anyone would take the risk with these earbuds when other brands are available that don't have this known issue.

Echo
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.since my first generation echo buds died, i have bought several and of different brands and prices and still have not found a headphone that cancels noise like my echo. these sony are a joke at noise suppression and the worst i have ever reviewed. My echo batteries died after 2 years, and that's why I'm looking for others that eliminate the noise like I echo them, but after they don't exist I'll buy another echo. postscript: when you walk on the sidewalk and a car passes by on the street with the echoes, the noise is not heard.

Posted .Hi Royo,
It is unfortunate to know that the noise canceling function of our LinkBuds S didn't live up to your expectations. This is certainly not the news that we would like to hear. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience.
For the noise canceling, this function is usually 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. When the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app is turned on, the wearer's actions, like walking or running, are detected. The noise canceling function is automatically adjusted and the Ambient Sound Mode may be activated according to these actions. To make the most of the noise canceling function of these headphones, turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it. Additionally, the following troubleshooting articles may help you improve your overall noise canceling experience:

https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/linkbuds-s/articles/00229342
And as a general recommendation, if you haven't tried yet, we recommend updating its firmware to the latest version. The firmware update improves the functionality and features of the headphones. It also provides fixes to any performance issues that you are encountering.

A regretful purchase
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I asked for a studio quality headset. I knew what I wanted, but the salesman at Best Buy insisted that these were way better. I spent double the money for half the quality. I expected honestly and knowledge when speaking to the Best Buy staff. I was bamboozled and swindled. Not a good buy for that price.
