    Great earbuds, but they keep cutting out and lose connectivity while doing activities, which is VERY annoying. I have Total Tech, so i exchanged the first pair and same problem with the second pair. I wish Sony would figure it out because besides that, they're great. Guess I'm returning theses and getting Beats

      Hi PauljP,

      While we are glad that you find our LinkBuds S great, we are really sorry if you are encountering a Bluetooth connection issue. This is certainly not the experience we want you to have. If you still have the unit, we'd like to help you isolate and fix this problem. The LinkBuds S are designed to provide reliable and stable connectivity during various activities. However, certain factors such as distance, signal interference, and the environment can affect the connection. If you haven't yet, please perform our suggested troubleshooting steps on this article and see if it resolves the problem:

    This is the second defective pair and past the return window. First pair broke within 2 weeks. Second pair broke within 5 weeks. Due to it's small size the driver blows out resulting in a plastic crunchy noise. Most expensive mistake I've made.

      Hi Teresa, We're sorry to hear about your earbuds. As it turns out, the earbuds are pre-set with information that allows them to communicate with and from each other. If one of the earbuds is lost or damaged, we advise to send the remaining items (earbuds and charging case) to an Authorized Service Center so that a replacement for the missing part can be reset with the remaining components. As for the fitting, if you haven't yet, you can visit the links below for detailed instructions on how to change the fitting supporters for your LinkBuds and how to wear them correctly. This will help you obtain optimum fit/comfort. https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000456408.htmlhttps://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000445573.html
