I really liked them. First I got the high end version, but they did not work well. This version does everything the expensive version does, but way less expensive.

Link S Battery Issue

The sound quality with EQ offered is dynamic enough. ANC, features and fit are excellent! Tap control sensitivity, random disconnections, but battery life killed my experience after 1 year warranty ran out, literally a month after. Paid $143, too much for only 13 months of reliability.

Hi PDomingo,
We're glad that you like the sound quality, fit, and noise canceling function of the headphones. It's unfortunate that you are not satisfied with the touch controls, connectivity, and battery life of the LinkBuds S.
For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).
Tap the center of the touch sensor with the pad of your index finger. When tapping the touch sensor 2 or 3 times, tap it quickly with an interval of about 0.3 seconds between taps. For more information, please refer to this link:
Hope this helps. If still not resolved or you need further assistance, please email the below information to [email protected].

These earbuds are great and have surprising decent bass and audio quality for a 5mm driver amd i connects to my phone immediately(super fast bluetooth) .....but my 1 complaint is the controls, you cannot map it yourself but with presets (and the presets suck) so for example the volume has to be on one earbud tap for volume up and hold for volume down and there's much worse to it ill put a pic down below and when it says not assigned, you can assign it!

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: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000539058.html https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000539670.html
We greatly appreciate your input with this function.

Would be great…if I could get both buds to stay in

Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
These would be great if both buds would stay in. The sound quality is great but the right ear constantly falls out, leaving me with a $199 paperweight as I’m forced to use my old Sony wired headphones. The most frustrating part is that I didn’t realize this was an issue until exactly one day after the return window. I was going to go with a different pair of buds that had a hook that fit over your ear, but was talked out of it by one of the BestBuy associates. It would be nice to have an accessory that provides additional support.

I replaced my SO’s broken AirPods with these after he liked mine and read reviews. They sound great and the noise cancellation helps so much. I use them for work calls, the gym, and casual podcasts. These are more subtle because of color as well. We now both have them and love them. Picture is after 1 year of owning

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.
Let us know it you need further assistance with your device, you may reach us at [email protected] with the following details :

We are sorry for the inconvenience and hope to speak to you to resolve this matter.
