They're ok, not the best but decent
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like these headphones. Not Better than my Bose buds but they get the job done. My biggest complaint is they lose connection if they think they're not in your ear. Decent set

Posted .Hi RR745,
Thanks a lot for your honest feedback. It’s great to hear you’re enjoying your Linkbuds S overall! We really appreciate you giving them a chance and your input helps us keep improving.
We're sorry about the trouble with the earbuds losing connection when they sense they're not in your ear. This feature is meant to save battery and improve convenience, but we know it can be a bit sensitive sometimes.
If you want to change the settings, check out the Sony | Sound Connect app. You can adjust in-ear detection or turn off the auto-pause feature, which might help keep your connection more stable.
If these tips don’t fix the issue or you need a hand with anything else, our support team is always happy to help. You can find their contact information here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=headphones
Thank you for considering Sony and for your feedback.

Nice Buds, Great Sound for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good product, high quality, much better than my Samsung earbuds, several nice sound features. Sound Quality is excellent. Wireless and Bluetooth are excellent and easy to connect. Battery Life is long lasting even using all the features. Durable and sweat resistant. Read some complaints about fit and using for workouts. I have had no issues, running, biking. Once you find the right buds the fit is perfect and natural feeling. Overall, a very nice product. Bought on sale so definitely worth the price. My only complaint would be the noise cancelling, its good but there is still some outside bleed thru, even after waiting for a few weeks and calibrating the noise cancelling feature, also be careful when adjusting buds in ear, the side buttons are very sensitive.

Fantastic! We are truly happy to know that you are satisfied with the exceptional & customizable sound quality, reasonable price, fast Bluetooth connection, long-lasting battery life, durable & very comfortable fit design, and superb performance of our LinkBuds S.

The Noise Canceling function of our LinkBuds S is most effective for low frequency (bass) noise, such noise made by vehicles or air conditioning, but not all sounds can be completely canceled.

Great bass!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and good for bass. I’ve fully enjoyed mine. Battery could lost a little longer but it’s to be expected.
I would recommend this to a friendA strong 2nd place
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So at this point I have tried headphones from Apple, Google (1st gen) Samsung, JLab, and Sony. Without drawing this out too long, here is my conclusion: Best sound quality was Apple. Could also connect to anything. However apple’s ear tips have a fit that takes some getting used to. If you want an earbud with a traditional in ear tip, great sound, good bass, and don’t plan on using them with your TV, these are the best. Only complaint I have is that the ambient sound function cannot be turned off for calls, so you just have to hear background sounds during your call. That seems like a big oversight in design.

Posted .Hi freddo98,
Thank you for the purchase! We're glad to hear that you like the bass sound quality of the Sony headphones. We recommend using the Sony headphones connect app to adjust audio settings depending in your preference. 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!

Great, high quality headphones
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had apple airpod pros and they were uncomfortable in my ears. I saw that these were more sleek and smaller which was perfect for ke. They pair easily with my iphone and the active noise cancelling is as good as my airpods were. Great buy at only half the price at the time I purchased compared to the airpod pros.

Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is great, they are surprisingly comfortable even after extended periods of use, and the ambient sound feature works better than I expected. My biggest issue with them is the battery life. For me the battery lasts between 5 and 6 hours for each earbud before needing to recharge. The case holds about 20 hours worth of power for both earbuds. Despite this, they do charge fairly quickly allowing me to get about an hour of use after 10-15 minutes of charging. Another feature that is not included is wireless charging, requiring you to charge the case via USB-C cable. Overall, they are a very solid pair of earbuds.

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
