||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great ear buds I use daily for gym workouts (about 1 hour) and daily walks (30min-1hr) without charging for a couple days. Noise cancellation works great to filter out the crowd/road noise. The adaptive works great when talking to someone while still listening to my podcast too. Also tried Apple, Bose and some others and these were the most comfortable fit for my ears. Soft rubber ftw vs hard plastic buds. However at the 1 year and 8 month mark the left bud will only hold a charge for about 15 minutes. So for $200 for 20 months that’s $10/month for decent ear buds. For me they’re worth the purchase ymmv.

Posted .Hi WalkingGymRat,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Nice to hear your enjoyable listening experience with your Linkbuds S, especially while working out at the gym. We really appreciate you like the amazing sound quality, noise cancellation, and comfortable fit of the unit. However, we're sorry to hear the problem with the left earbud after 1 year and 8 months of use. Allow us to help troubleshoot the problem.
Depending on the settings for the headset functions and usage conditions, the speed of energy consumption for the rechargeable battery may vary between the left and right units. Please try some solutions below if the available operating time is short or the battery power does not last long.
Make sure the headset is charged sufficiently and set securely in the charging case.
Be sure to use the supplied USB Type-C cable and check that the cable is firmly connected to the charging case.
If the earbud tips are not properly attached to the headset, the headset may not be charged with the supplied charging case. Check that the earbud tips are attached properly when you store the headset in the charging case.
Reset the headset.
Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again.

Good sound but would not stay in my ears.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sony earbuds had really good sound. They just would not stay in my ears so I returned them for that reason. The app is good to work with the buds. If they stayed in my ears I most likey would have kept them. This is not the only pair I had this probelms with so needless to say I have been through several test runs of in-ear buds but nothing seems to work to a point where I have been satisfied with in-ear buds. We all differ and in-ear buds are not for everyone. I just think it is nice to have noise canceling option for in ear buds, where as noise canceling for the out of ear buds greatly differs. If in-ear buds work for you these are very nice, but I cant advise on battery life because I returned them. As for me, maybe one day. Until then, best of luck.

Posted .Hi Tscardholder, thank you for sharing your experience using the LinkBuds S. We're glad that you like the audio quality, use of Headphones Connect app, and noise canceling function. We're also sorry if these wouldn't stay in ears. To keep the headphones from falling out, please select the right size earbud tips. We also recommend wearing the earbuds properly. When you put the headset unit into your ear or adjust the positioning of the headset unit, see the illustration in step 2 for how to hold the headset unit.

The earbuds do not hold charge.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is excellent. However, the earbuds do not hold charge well. I have been a Sony user for years, and all other earbuds or headphones that I purchased before last at leat 5 years or more (the longest wired earbuds have lasted for 10+ years), and I am surprised that the Linkbuds S earbuds do not last more than a year.

Posted .Hi secretlabo,
Thank you for your time writing this review. While we are glad you like the sound quality of the LinkBuds S, we're sorry to hear that it won't hold the charge well. Allow us to help troubleshoot and resolved the problem.
Please perform the following steps if the headphones don't charge:
Make sure the headset is set securely in the charging case.
Be sure to use the supplied USB Type-C cable and check that the cable is firmly connected to the charging case.
If the earbud tips are not properly attached to the headset, the headset may not be charged with the supplied charging case. Check that the earbud tips are attached properly when you store the headset in the charging case.
If earbud tips by other manufacturers are used, the headset may not be charged with the supplied charging case. Be sure to use the supplied earbud tips when charging.
When the charging ports of the headset or the charging case get dirty, the headset may not be charged. Clean the charging ports with a soft dry cloth.
It is recommended to charge in a place with an ambient temperature between 15 °C and 35 °C (59 °F - 95 °F). Efficient charging may not be possible beyond this range.
While charging, be sure to keep the lid of the charging case closed to prevent the battery of the charging case from being wasted.
Reset the headset.
Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again.

Value For Money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Crisp sound, affordable price. Pure value for Money
I would recommend this to a friendLinkbuds S
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent for the price. Does everything you need it to do + more. Assuming proper seal with assorted eartips — though I’d recommend foam tips — the SQ is great: tight bass, accurate vocals/mids, though it doesn’t have the most sparkly quality to it, sometimes sounding flat and uninspired, yet is still pleasing and never fatiguing. Speaking of that, these are the only earbuds I can use that don’t make my ears hurt after extended use. My ears never feel plugged with these on, even less than the AirPods Pro which have vents on them (these don’t). I attribute it to how light it is, which also adds to its portability. Noise cancelling is great, on par with AirPods Pro, and transparency is good enough to hear the world around you, albeit a little as if you’re hearing the world through a tin can. I’ve never had a problem with battery life, and find myself going a week without needing to charge the case. The only downside to these is connectivity, which sometimes drops withh dsee extreme on, and tap to function, which can be finicky and do things when I don’t want them to, and doesn’t pick up taps when I want it to. For the price though it’s more than forgivable.
