These buds are excellent, and give the AirPods Pro
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These buds are excellent, and more expensive options like the AirPods Pro some decent competition. Thought the link buds s do not have as much raw sound quality as AirPods Pro the difference is negligible enough to let these pass. Which is mostly do to their size and design, because unlike the AirPods they are much smaller and sleek that makes them more discrete when you are wearing them. They also have some nice features like safe listen you can turn on to measure and reduce the noise levels your ears revive, which does synchronize a little with the iPhones hearing tool. They also have excellent options for sound equalization, with my favorite being the vocal option which I can modify to hear the voice of the singer clearly in songs. The only downside is that due to an issue that my left earbud drains really fast now compared to my ragout earbud. Thought that might just be some new technical problem. But other than that for the price these earplugs are a must have. Ps: they isolate sound great and even on max volume you only go up to 70 decibels and you can still hear what you are listening to dispute your surroundings.

Outstanding Quality for the price
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best earbud headphones I’ve ever had! They are cheaper than AirPods Pro but they fit better, have better noise cancellation in my experience, and they have better sound quality in my opinion. The only 2 things that can be annoying though is the app can be buggy and will often default the headphones to ambient sound instead of cancellation, and for whatever reason my left earbud will randomly disconnect for no reason until I pull both out of my ears and put them both back in again.

Posted .Hi Jared,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the LinkBuds S. We're glad that you like the fit, noise canceling function, and sound quality of the headphones. Your feedback about the Adaptive Sound Control and Bluetooth connectivity is greatly appreciated.
For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Sound Connect app).
When the Adaptive Sound Control on the “Sony Sound Connect” app is turned on, the wearer's actions, like walking or running, are detected. The noise canceling function is automatically adjusted and the Ambient Sound Mode may be activated according to these actions. To make the most of the noise canceling function, turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it.
For connectivity issues, please refer to the troubleshooting steps on this link:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000537649.html
If still not resolved, reset and initialize the headset. You may find these links helpful:

Sidetone doesn't work as expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had these for about a month now. I bought them primarily for Zoom/Teams meetings for work. I have a pair of on-the-ear Sony's from a few years ago that have Sidetone and I actually enjoy that feature. However, those earphones are a bit uncomfortable. The main issue have with the LinkBuds S is that the Sidetone doesn't seem to pump my voice into my ears, rather it picks up everything else around me and amplifies it. For example, I have a small air purifier beside my desk that runs on the lowest setting. To the naked ear, you can barely notice it. When I engage the mic on the LinkBuds S, it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel. It doesn't make the meeting experience intolerable, but it defeats the purpose of being in a meeting AND having ANC enabled. Otherwise, the sound quality for music is very good. If my Anker Soundcore Liberty 2's are a 9/10, the LinkBuds S are an 8/10. I'd give these 5 stars if it weren't for Sidetone defeating it's own purpose of allowing your voice to come through and not other things around you. Again, I don't really hear my voice at all through Sidetone yet everything else around me is picked up. Not how my older headphones work.

Posted .Hi allthatiszen,
Thanks for commenting. While we are thrilled to know your satisfaction with the outstanding sound quality for music of the LinkBuds S, we are really sorry if its sidetone function didn't live up to your expectations. We are also sorry if you feel a bit uncomfortable wearing your on-the-ear Sony Headphones.
During a call on the headphones, the headphones' microphones pick up the ambient sound regardless of the Ambient Sound Control function setting. The Sidetone function's effect makes it easier to talk using the headphones and helps the headphone microphone pick up sounds and play your voice naturally. As a result, the noise canceling function works differently from when playing music. And if you hear ambient sound, headphones operation sound, or white noise (a small electrical noise with continuous static sound) from the headphones, that is also an effect of the Sidetone function, not a malfunction. We greatly appreciate your input with Sidetone function of the LinkBuds S.
With LinkBuds S, you’re always connected to your everyday worlds. Easily connect with the people you know and the content you love. Make crystal clear calls and listen to high-quality music - even in windy or noisy environments. AI based noise reduction algorithm isolates your voice and keeps conversations crisp. And with Ultra-small and light design, 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.

Best value in true wireless earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've gone through a *lot* of wireless earbuds in recent years. Haven't owned any Bose, but have had Jabra 65s and 75s, as well as Sony WF-1000XM3s and XM4s, in addition to assorted cheaper options in a pinch. The higher-end Sonys have had great sound, but absolutely terrible fit; I couldn't wear either pair for more than maybe 30-45 minutes without some discomfort. The Jabras were way more comfortable, especially the 75t, but sound quality and ANC paled in comparison to the Sonys. These LinkBuds honestly marry the best qualities of other earbuds I've tried, and for the price and for most people I think are a way better buy than the top-end stuff from Sony or other makers. They are *incredibly* comfortable — I can wear them for hours, they stay in my ears while walking or jogging — and the sound quality is really exceptional. The higher-end models might have a *slight* edge, but for regular daily use I don't think I'm ever in a situation where I'd really notice a difference. I think the transparency mode is even better than the XM4s, which makes them even better for outdoor activities or just having awareness during work, with kids at home, and so on. ANC isn't mind-blowing — I can still hear people talking nearby and higher-frequency sounds get through — but they definitely cut a *lot* of sound out and if I'm listening to music, I don't really notice anything but the very loudest external sounds. Microphone quality is acceptable — better than the XM4s, I think, but they won't replace my Plantronics headset for serious work calls. And battery life is decent; I haven't done any serious testing, but I'm only charging the case once every few days and I use these buds a few hours every day. Really, really exceptional work here. If there's ever a LinkBuds S v2 I'll be first in line to get them.

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.

Cheaper WF-1000XM4
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previously using the WF-1000XM4, the Sony LinkBuds are in my opinion a cheaper, but an effective pair of earbuds. Noise-Canceling and Connectivity are both done very well with no issue at all. If you're looking for a cheaper pair of Sony earbuds that have good noise cancelling the Sony LinkBuds S are the right choice.

Great value, ANC, sound and call quality, poor fit
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these hoping their good ANC, sound and call quality would lead to a good set of buds. However, there are 2 major issues for me. First, the fit is too small for my ears. The WF1000-XM4 fit my ears snugly. The Linkbuds S are too small and are "loose" in my ear. Yes, they are attached in my ear canal but they are loose in my ear so they jiggle loose quickly when I'm running. So, unusable for exercise. Next, I updated the firmware for multipoint and it's just super buggy. When it's turned on, I find the connection is just not reliable. I'm using a MacBook M2 Air, iPad min 6th, iPhone 13 Pro Max and apple watch ultra. All latest software. When multipoint is on then I find it just won't connect to the device I want to listen to. When multipoint is off, then it behaves well. But with MP on then it's works badly enough that I just disabled it again and live with single device. Thats a shame because I run with just my watch and the buggy multipoint along with the poor/loose fit means it's unusable for me if I want multipoint enabled OR to run with them. Sitting around the house or at the super market they work well. Great sound and ANC and calls are good. I just don't want 2 pairs of ear buds.

Excellent hi-res sound, half price and great fit
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.BACKGROUND: I'm 37, like hi-res audio mainly, I do have a lot of earbuds and headphones (shure, sony, senhnheiser, beat, skullcandy, audio-Technica, AKG, Bose) and I do not consider myself and audiophile but, I like to have earbuds for any type of music or situation lol, I bought this because my mom accidentally destroyed an AKG earbuds that I use at work, told her that it was ok, but she insisted to much to buy me a substitute, so I do not really wanted that my elder mom buy me a pricer earbuds, but also did not wanted to just have a scrappy pair, so the best option it came in my mind was this ones and that's how I got it and do not regret it, this are a great earbuds for EVERYDAY, they look cheap so it do not attract a lot of attention like the "shure's" lol. GOOD: The audio from this ones is "flat", which means that it's not "tunned", so you can tune them as your taste. This buds fit MUCH BETTER than many earbuds, you can run with them and will not fall from your ear since they are a little bit smaller and fit excellent inside the concha. Battery is great, you can use it like 8hr with a single charge (continously hearing), so I just charge them during my lunch time and they are good to go for the rest of the day! Price, this is BANG for your BUCKs, really.... this are a very nice hi-res audio earbuds and cheaper than audio-technica, shure's, sennheiser brands. Of course this are superior to beats, skullcandy, bose without a doubt but at the same price!!, so if your budget is limited, get this one's right away DOWNSIDE: Bluetooth connection sometimes fade in and fade out... not sure why it does that but for me is not like a big deal. Pairing this ones is just a bit harder than their sony top brother, since they do not have the shortcut of "touching both earbuds" to start pairing, you have to open box and push the small button for 10 secs and then you will be able to pair it, selecting it from the list, I mean... it takes like 3 minutes, once paired then it will remember, so for me not a big deal but is something you may consider if you pair this to more than 2 devices that are near each other, because they will connect to the last one you connected and you'll have to do all the process I meantioned to pair it to the other device (even that you already configured before). This earbuds isolate sound so well that you can hear your "chewing" or "footsteps" when you are running, I mean you can hear your "inner sounds". Mic is SO BAD for calls, they just simple lack behind on this one, I did not pretend to use it for "calling" but when I receive calls I change to speakear since people can't hear me at all, or with a lot of "ambient sound". OVERALL: great FLAT sound, nice price, excellent fit (even sweat)

Posted .Hi yaus007,
Thank you for taking the time to write such an in-depth review of your experience with the LinkBuds S. We are so happy to know your satisfaction with the very comfortable fit design, exceptional sound quality, long-lasting battery life, and reasonable price of these headphones. We truly appreciate your input with the design, pairing procedure, and noise isolation of the headphones. We are sorry if you are encountering some issues. This is certainly not the experience we were hoping you would have. We'd like to help you isolate the problem. For your Bluetooth connection issue, the earbud headphones use left and right simultaneous Bluetooth® transmission method. This means the Bluetooth connection stability is improved compared to more conventional headphones. However, intermittent audio, or no audio may occur under the following situations:
1. In a location where the Wi-Fi signal is inconsistent, such as on a train, an airport, or rail station.
2. When using in an environment with a congested Wi-Fi signal, near to other wireless audio devices using Wi-Fi, microwaves, phones.
To troubleshoot this problem, please refer to the following article:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/linkbuds-s/articles/00232102
And for Bluetooth pairing, if the last-connected Bluetooth device is placed near the headset, as part of normal operation, the headset may connect automatically to the device by simply turning on the headset. If this is the case, deactivate the Bluetooth function on the last-connected device or turn off the power. For more details, you may refer to these Help Guide links:
Connecting to a paired Bluetooth device - https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000539112.html?search=bluetooth%20pairing
Unable to make a Bluetooth connection - https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000537665.html
As for the microphone or call quality, while we are not sure what brand/model of audio device you have these headphones connected to, you may try performing troubleshooting steps using this article to isolate the issue:
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/linkbuds-s/articles/00278104
And lastly, as a general recommendation, if you haven't tried yet, we recommend updating the firmware of your headphones to the latest version. The firmware update improves the functionality and features of the headphones. It also provides fixes to any performance issues that you are encountering.

Great noise canceling but beware
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great noise canceling, exceptionally excellent battery life (I don’t think I’ve charge them in like 2-3 weeks), but I only use them while I’m driving, shopping, or working out, and maybe 15-20 min at work when people are too loud. Beware they will fall out if you’re running. That’s a bummer.

Posted .Hi JayS, We're happy that you like most of the features of your LinkBuds S, especially the incredible audio, noise canceling feature, and excellent battery life. The LinkBuds S comes with different sizes of earbud tips to ensure there is a great fit for all ear sizes. Please use the right size according to the size of your ears. When wearing them, please gently pull up on the top of your ears, put the earbud tips in your ear canal, and then twist the earbuds into place. This makes sure the earbuds are firmly in the ear canal. 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. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

Favorite earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have been my favorite earbuds to date. I’ve owned beats, airpods, sennheisers, other sony’s (xm3, 4.) The main reason I love these so much, is the comfort. I can wear them all day without ear discomfort or fatigue. They sound great and the ANC is top tier. Only critique I have is the mic is not the best.
