Amazing Pair of Earbuds!

Very good when not defective
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my LinkBuds S and am a huge fan of them. I like how the transparency mode setting allows me to keep my headphones on and talk to people. I also like the noise cancellation it provides. Unfortunately, I believe that the product I received was defective. While using the noise cancelling or transparency feature, I constantly hear a "wind blowing" sound coming from the left bud. It's very distracting, and it makes it difficult for me to enjoy the product.

Good but not gym proof
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these for the gym, sound quality was amazing. Problem was between the sweat and design it made the fit always for me needing to adjust these earbuds for me so I got over top headphones instead.

Posted .Hi AnthonyE, Thank you for your review. The WH-1000XM5 are beautifully finished in newly developed soft fit leather. For intense workouts, we suggest our headphones specifically designed for that task. Check out our WF-C500s and the WF-1000XM4s.

- Cons mentioned:Battery life
Fast Battery Drain on Left Side of earbud.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Be aware, after purchasing product less than a year, well taken care of earbuds, battery drains on left side within 10 min with almost 100% charge. Disappointed with this purchase, hoping Sony or Best Buy can stand behind the products they sell or produce to their consumers.

I like it but....
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for wireless buds I have 3 different brand and wanted another one after checking several reviews on you tube and websites I make the decision to buy it. I like the earbuds it was what I was looking for. Excellent size , great noise cancellation the weight was perfect but the sound just was disappointed it was too good to be true. I tried to fall in love with them to see if can keep them but I can't. I just returned it to the store.

Sounds great, not designed for active environments

Posted .Hi Nebb,
We're glad that you like the outstanding sound quality of your LinkBuds. The LinkBuds may fall out or feel uncomfortable during use if you don't wear the LinkBuds properly or the ear fitting supporters are not correct for your ears. Please make sure to follow the guide from this link.

For no pressure headphones specifically designed for runners and athletes, we recommend the Float Run. Float Run offers important features to runners or athletes, including a light-weight design with a flexible neckband that doesn’t slip when in motion, and a pressure-free design that sits off of the ears, so runners no longer need to worry about sweat or chafing getting in the way of their workout. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess
