Very Impressed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very impressed with these true wireless earbuds. They sound great, and the touch controls are extremely convenient and useful. The only issue I have with these is that, at times, they have pauses in audio. I'm not sure if it is a connection issue or what, but it is a bit annoying. Other than that, these are great earbuds.

Just meh….
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far not great. Left earbud stops working periodically and Noise Cancelling is just ok. I had the XM4 ear buds, they were awesome but were unable to charge after 20 months. I was refunded 100% of my money by Sony via check, so I bought XM5 earbuds. Washed them… So Finally went for cheaper earbuds. Bad decision. The XM4 and XM5 never had connectivity issues like these do. The sound never stopped working like these do. These are a better size for me than the Flagship XM’s. Other than that I think they’re meh… pay the extra 100 and get the XM’s if you are definitely buying Sony.

Good quality and value
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Small, lightweight, noise cancelling pretty good, not the best battery life. Does last longer if no noise cancelling. Had the AirPods Pro first gen before these, prefer these by a lot. Occasionally it will disconnect when choosing to prioritize sound quality

Great Noise Cancelling Ear Buds!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these ear buds before taking a long flight across the U.S.A. Not only did they sound great and fit comfortably, the noise cancelling feature was excellent and made the long flight much more enjoyable. The charge lasted about four hours and twenty minutes after they were fully charged at the beginning of the flight. The case they store in also has the ability to store extra charging power. Plug them in the case and they will recharge without being connected to a power source. I would recommend these highly over a more expensive model.

Great buds
|Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Some of the best earbuds I’ve used to date. Easier to get into your ears than the xm5 earbuds due to them not being foam filled. Used them several times on a plane and they did wonders for the noise level. Transparency mode does have a bit of fuzz in the background but that is common on these style of buds. Lack the depth of sound on the high and low end that you’d expect with earbuds. For that, you’d want headphones.

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic earbuds. I have purchased a dozen or so different types and these are comfortable, and the sound is great, but the ANC is incredible. Could not recommend these more. The app adds functionality like equalizer control as well. They are lightweight and compact. Very comfortable compared to sooo many others. The pairing process to new things can be a hassle if you aren't familiar but learn it, and you're good to go.

Great Value!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the LinkBuds S and the Sony XM5s at the same time so I could compare. I think the noise cancelling is comparable between the two. I basically could tell no difference. The XM5s sound better, but I think the LinkBuds S give you 90% of the sound quality that the XM5s provide. The LinkBuds S also have a better fit. If you have to have the very best, get the XM5s. However, at the current price of $130, the LinkBuds S are an absolute steal. They easily provide 90% of the XM5 capabilities at half the price.
