Amazing sound just need a bit more noise canceling
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved these buds from Sony. They are not that great for Noise canceling like their big brother the WF-1000XM5 but they will remove some unwanted sound. The sound quality is where they shine for my taste. The WF-1000XM5 does have better quality but the spatial sound on these just hit differently. I said I loved these because they are not water resistant and neither is the case. I made a mistake and dropped them outside in some water and could not recover them. So sad.

Please make sure to update the firmware of your headphones: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/linkbuds-s/downloads. The software updates improve the general performance of the unit and include key features, applications, and bug fixes. Restart the connected device such as a smartphone or a computer you use, and pair the headset and the device again. Set the headset to “Priority on stable connection”.

Set the headset into the charging case and close the lid of the charging case. You may be able to resolve some issues by setting the headset into the charging case. Despite your concern, it's good to know that you like the noise canceling feature of your LinkBuds S.

Frustrating battery life
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds were great for the first year maybe a little less. Then after an update the earbuds don't last more than 7 minutes on a phone call. I would not recommend these to anyone else. They are now e-waste on my shelf. I've resorted back to my Galaxy buds that have been working like new for 5 years now even after being put through the washer once and multiple sessions in saunas at the gym.

Great Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds work really well! I am very happy with them. I was concerned with the fit and if they would fall out of my ears or hurt my ears. But the package comes with three different sizes of silicone ear pieces. They worked wonderfully,

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.

Amazing for the price
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Some of the best earbuds I’ve used. I’ve tried the Bose QC2, AirPod Pro 2, and a few others - for the price, these beat out all the big guys. Great ANC, good ambient sound, and great bass without blowing your eardrums out. Overall, I’d choose these over the big name brand earbuds any day.

|Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] 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.
