Waited for the earbuds version of my WH1000XM3. These definitely deliver the sound I need. Great comfort, versatile settings, good noise reduction and call sound.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these for 100 dollars off and dang I'm impressed how well these block out noise. It's really just your music and yourself when you use noise cancelation. The earbuds are really comfortable and provide a good seel. Ambience sound doesn't sound natural but it gets the job done. The quality is really great but it's even better when you change the equalizer in the Sony headphones app. Overall really great earbuds 10/10

Awesome noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good fit and even better noise canceling. Easy to switch the noise canceling off and great sound for their size. I wear them when using a string trimmer and lawn mower. They don't extend out beyond the ear, which is nice.

Great, but no Battery life!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to say, these have to be some if the best ive ever tried. Sound quality is great, the adaptive noise cancelling is so on point its amazing. Only two issues and only 1 that bothers ne. They advertise 6 hours. These barely lasted ne 3 hours at full charge. Super bad. I wouldnt recommended these for calls. I could hear clearly but the other party could never hear me. I have a set strictly for calls so thats no biggie. I nean if they pasted 6 hours, i wouldnt even be looking another pair!

Posted .Hi 0o0o0o0,
While we are thrilled to know your satisfaction with the outstanding sound quality of the LinkBuds S, we are really sorry if you are experiencing a connection issue with the left earbud. This is certainly not the news we'd like to hear from you. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience.
If you are having an issue using only the left earbud, please refer to the below:
As part of normal operation, you cannot use only the left unit of the headset when Service Link is turned on from the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. However, you can use only the right unit of the headphones. And depending on the assignment of the touch sensors and/or the Voice Assistant setting, you may not be able to use only one unit of the headset. To solve this problem, please follow the troubleshooting steps on these articles:
Using only one unit of the headset - https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000539672.html?search=using%20one%20headphone
There is no sound or the earbud doesn't work when using one earbud by itself - https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/linkbuds-s/articles/00229345
And as a general recommendation, if you haven't tried yet, we recommend updating its firmware to the latest version. The firmware update improves the functionality and features of the headphones. It also provides fixes to any performance issues that you are encountering.

This earphones are TUANI (awesome)!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones becuse I was instrested in their size, but oh wow they are so amazing. Their sound is super clean and bass uff. But what I love the most is the system they have. Basically, they have these sensors on the buds that you can use to up or down the volumen or even stop the music. That is so heapful! They also have an amazing system that cancels the exterioir sound. To me these are the best buds in the market. Tuani earbuds! But, I had to buy another set cause someone stole my old ones. A vist I have came to my apartment and took them. Smh. I looked for them and couldn't find them. Because I had follen in love with these earbuds i had to buy them again. It is what it is. They are worthy

I have the largerWF-1000XM4 and honestly I can’t tell the difference in the sound. Both give good noise cancelling. If I could do over, I’d probably save the money and buy these for myself also.

Better than Samsung
||Posted .
