    Bose did a good job with noise control, however, base in the price, I expected pretty much same features a IPods pro (remote sound when I lost them, app to find them by BT, gps location). Good product, below my expectations

    Not So Great, Get Only On Sale

    After a year of using can say without a doubt, decent earbuds that should probably only be bought for less with how worse they get the longer you have them. The battery holds way less of a charge than it did new, like 60% now. They constantly disconnect. Samsung updates can just end up breaking them. I still like them, but they aren't worth the price. Only buy it when on sale and get a second pair or backups a few months later cause they will start becoming a problem.

      Hi Kris01,

      Fantastic! We are so happy that you are satisfied with your purchase! We are also delighted that you are enjoying the amazing sound quality of our LinkBuds S. We truly appreciate your feedback with wireless charging. A rechargeable battery is built into the charging case. If you charge the charging case in advance, it can charge the LinkBuds S wirelessly. Unfortunately, the supplied case doesn't support wireless chargers. Charging is supported by using a personal computer with a standard USB port or a commercially available USB AC adaptor capable of supplying an output current of 0.5 A (500 mA) or more.

      With LinkBuds S, you’re always connected to your everyday worlds. Ultra-small and light, they can be worn comfortably around the clock, keeping you in touch with people and places. LinkBuds S switches automatically to optimized ambient sound or high-quality noise canceling for listening without distractions.

      Hi BrianM, Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Sony Linkbuds S. We regret to hear that the bass quality and volume did not live up to your expectations. To enhance your listening experience, we recommend using the Sony Headphones Connect app, which allows you to customize the audio settings to better suit your preferences. You can adjust the equalizer settings to boost the bass and overall sound output. Additionally, ensuring that the earbuds are properly fitted in your ears can significantly impact the sound quality and bass response. Please refer to this link for more details on how to properly wear these earbuds: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000536462.html

    With minimal use for video calls and music, these did not even last a year and a half. The left earbud stopped working and I can no longer go into pairing mode. I stepped out of my comfort zone and bought Sony, never again!

    It was total waste of money. These didn’t lasted a year. These also has the battery issue as other models. One of the side drains battery in 4-5 minutes of use. I am surprised of Sony quality control. How could they can launch a model with faulty battery. Unfortunately I am out of warranty so no luck with customer support too. While the Bose earbud I bought along with this headset is working rock solid.
