    These headphones come in a small ecofriendly packaging. While these headphones seem small, they have great sound, and last a while. Be mindful to try the different ear tips included as it might be too big for the ear and it might get uncomfortable. The noise cancelling and audio that comes out of these earbuds are superb for the price. Sony, please come out with a wireless charging case on the next iteration of these.

    I was looking for earbuds and was confused between airpods 2 pro, bose and linkbuds. Finally i went ahead with linkbuds and i made the best choice of my life. Linkbuds s are very light, you can keep this in your ears for hours and your ears dont pain. The sound quality is also great with the selection of preset equalizer. The best part of these earbuds is the Active Noise Cancellation feature. I am happy with my purchase. Great Work Sony.

    Pros Alright i want to start by saying I’ve tried almost all of the “mid to high end” earbuds. I will say these are easily some of the most comfortable especially for something that doesn’t have wingtips or foam tips. They are very light “noise canceling easily in the top along with the XM4 and Beatsfit pro or air pods pro. App is better than any earbud app hands down. Cons They just don’t get very loud. I will say if your want something louder go with beats fit, or AirPods aside from that so far i can see a thing wrong with them

    Coming from the XM4 after the dreaded battery bug, I like almost everything about the link buds S more. Better connectivity Lighter weight Smaller and more flush to the ear Sounds the same of not better than the XM4 Almost as good ANC Way cheaper than the XM4 or new XM5

    They don't last more than 3 months and sometimes they disconnect from Bluetooth or sometimes the battery only lasts 1 or 2 hours and it discharges.
