Hi WilliamT,

While we are thrilled to know your satisfaction with the outstanding sound quality and fast Bluetooth connectivity of the LinkBuds S, we are really sorry its touch control function didn't live up to your expectations. For the touch sensor, you can actually change the function assignments to the touch sensors of the left and right units using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. For example, the music playback function that is assigned to the touch sensor of the right unit in the factory settings can be changed to the touch sensor of the left unit. You can also change the settings that do not assign the music playback function, noise canceling function, Ambient Sound Mode and playback volume adjustment function, etc. For reference, you may refer to the following links:

Hi NickH, We're sorry to hear that you are experiencing discomfort when using the earbuds. We highly value your feedback, and we take it seriously. This unit comes with different sizes of earbuds to ensure there is a great fit for all ear sizes and an optimal noise canceling experience. As a suggestion, to reduce discomfort while wearing the headphones and keep it from falling out, try to use the right size according to the size of your ears. The size of the left and right earbud tips may be different. When wearing them, please gently pull on the top of your ear as you twist the earbud into your ear. This should give you a firmer hold.
