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
Great noise cancelling for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise cancelling. Acceptable sound quality (You usually can't have both). A little fussy with Bluetooth connection but controls work consistently, almost a little too responsive. Put these on and you can still hear conversations but the room noise is drastically reduced. I am a little older and find these helpful to make voices more clear in heavy background noise almost I expect the way a hearing aid would. New user so not a lot of experience with battery life yet but so far very happy with them. Small and comfortable. These aren't going to be audiophile HiFi sound but most people using noise cancelling understand that is the downside of noise cancelling.

Only 1 small complaint...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have great sound quality and are tiny. Very comfortable to wear all day. I tested the mic for phone calls and they great. They really rival Airpods pro for phone calls and that surprised me considering they're so small they basically disappear inside your ears. My only knock on these and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of wireless charging. How can a company design a premium earbud, charge $200 for them and not give you the option for wireless charging? It makes no sense. make a wireless charging case at the same price point and these would rank right up there with the best!

Amazing!!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these earbuds - They're so comfortable and the noise cancellation is incredible. I wear them when I fly and I can't believe how much noise they block out. The sound quality is great, the battery life is great, and they generally stay in my ears pretty well, which has been a challenge for me with other headphones.

Very Nice Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice and affordable for a premium pair of earbuds.

Posted .Hi Sethhhhhhh,
Fantastic! We are thrilled to know your satisfaction with the reasonable price, very comfortable fit, and lightweight design of the LinkBuds S. We truly appreciate your input with the volume and bass sound quality of these headphones. Sound quality as well as the loudness/max volume of the LinkBuds S usually differs from the source's signal and content that is playing. You may refer to the following link to isolate the problem:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000537742.html
As for the bass sound, with the use of the Sony | Headphones Connect app, you can actually customize the equalizer or select CLEAR BASS setting to enhance the bass sound quality of the headphones.

iffy longevity
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.absolutely love the sound quality, great fit, overall amazing earbuds. had for about a year and a half before battery life dropped drastically. one won’t stay on longer than 2 minutes and the other only gives me about an hour on a full charge. definitely expected to get more years out of these, maybe it’s just the pair i got but definitely something to keep in mind
I would recommend this to a friendGreat fit and great audio!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very picky about my earbuds and headphones and with a larger right ear opening, I wanted something which would stay fit even when I am running or carrying out intense activities. I tried so many ear buds but then eventually was very much satisfied with these LinkBuds S. The best thing about this earbuds is that once you put it in and twist a little bit, it hold into the ear opening just perfect for it to do its job. And as far as audio quality goes, Sony has never put me down! Strongly recommend for those who love good audio and a proper fit.

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.

Fantastic Earbuds
||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.

||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!

Tremendous Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A fantastic, more comfortable, less expensive alternative to the top of the line Sony 1000xm4 or even the xm5 wireless earbuds. The noise cancelling is passable, or acceptable considering the price point, but the sound quality over all punches well above the other headphones in this range.
