Sound Quality is Garbled!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, I have to say the truth here is. I've tried several Bluetooth for my job. I will have to say JVC was one of the best and Sony needs to work on their sound quality. These Bluetooth are very comfortable, but the sound quality is very garble.

Nice Sony Earbuds but.....
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are nice. They fit well and I like the noise canceling and the option to here my surroundings. The music sounds really great and I can skip to the next song if I want. However, I can't go back to repeat a song and must importantly I can't control the volume. I thought if I swirled my finger around the left bud, the volume would go up or down. Instead I have to use my phone to control the volume. This would've been beneficial for me. I also can't pause it on the first try. I have to tap it more than once to pause which makes me have to pull them out my ears when someone approaches me or begins to talk.

Posted .Hi CherylB, Great! We're glad you like the comfortable fit, noise cancelling feature, and great sound quality of your Sony Linkbuds S.
You can actually go to the previous track and adjust the volume using the touch sensor of the linkbuds without using your smartphone. You will just have to setup these features using the "Sony | Headphones Connect” app. For more information, please refer to this link:

Tremendous Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A fantastic, more comfortable, less expensive alternative to the top of the line Sony 1000xm4 or even the xm5 wireless earbuds. The noise cancelling is passable, or acceptable considering the price point, but the sound quality over all punches well above the other headphones in this range.

First Pair of True Wireless Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first pair of true wireless earbuds, and they are really good. I have been hesitant to buy wireless earbuds because of the size and weight, and these are small and light, and they stay in my ears really well. The Noise cancelling and "transparent mode" called ambient mode both work really well. I can use them for about 3 hours and have around 45% of battery using noise cancelling, which I feel is pretty good. The app is also pretty useful, and it has a lot of features that I don't use since I just use them while at work, and I sit at work almost all day. One thing that was concerning that I found a fix for was when I set them up I enabled google assistant, and it ended up draining the right bud way faster than the left, up to 20% sometimes. I turned it off, and now it is within 6% of each other at all times. The case charges the buds pretty quickly, although there are faster options for sure. I know I'll keep an eye on this line of buds, and hope they get a refresh in a year or 2.

Posted .Hi BarryW,
It's truly wonderful to hear that your Sony earbuds have been such a reliable companion, especially in work settings for conversations and privacy. Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star rating! The discreet design and clear audio of the WFLS900N make it an excellent choice for both productivity and peace of mind—glad to know they're working so well you’d consider a second pair.
Thank you for choosing Sony—wishing you a fantastic day!

Good & Comfortable
||Posted .

Noise cancellation is not the best for me, but it does its job.
I would recommend this to a friend Fantastic Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start off by saying these are by far the most comforting earbuds I've worn so far straight out of the box! I've had the Galaxy Buds Pro, those were too big and heavy. Had the Airpods Pro, those always felt like they'd fall out. But these are hardly even noticible in my ears. They're small, lightweight, and have a solid fit. As for sound quality, they're the best sounding buds I've tried so far, with good range and balance. The noise cancelling is top notch, which is no surprise from Sony, but the transparency mode is something else. I honestly thought the Airpods Pro transparency was good, but these are even better, its almost like im not even wearing the buds! But, no product is perfect, these are no exception. To be completely honest, the case feels cheap for $200 earbuds. I know they're made of recycled plastic, but you can definitely feel it a little too much. And worst of all in my opinion, there is no bluetooth multipoint. So if you got multiple devices, you'll have to manually reconnect when switching devices. Other than that, they're great!

Posted .Hi FoxyEntity,
Fabulous! We are really thrilled to hear you are satisfied with the exceptional sound quality, small & lightweight for all-day comfort design, fantastic noise canceling & ambient sound features, and superb performance of your new LinkBuds S. Your feedback with the built of the charging case is truly appreciated. For multipoint, we are sorry if these headphones don't support this function. The LinkBuds S can be paired with multiple devices (up to 8)—though it can play audio from only 1 paired device at a time.

Excellent products disappointed response on batter
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these in Nov 22 and so far I thought the best you can get, however I began experiencing problems with one side where the battery does not fully charge (gets to 80% only). Now that side will drain the battery in less than 1 hour while the other side is still at 85%. I really like them but so disappointed on this and Sony will not offer any discounts to replace them as Bose and others will do...

Posted .Hi NicolasG,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern. While we're happy that you like the incredible audio, we're so sorry to hear that you are having some battery draining issues with your LinkBuds S earbud headphones. This is definitely not the customer experience we want you to have. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated.
For available operating time of the unit, 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. This is not a malfunction. However, when regularly used together, should not occur.

A good buy, after good advice.

I really want to thank the sales person who so enthusiastically showed me my way around ear pods. I would have bought the same ones, again but like these far better. Thank you.
I would recommend this to a friendAverage Earbuds with a few good features.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, these are decent earbuds with a few standout features. The noise-cancelling performance is suprisingly close to that of the AirPods Pro 2, which is impressive. One of the best features is the ability to connect to two devices simultaneously via Bluetooth, which is super convenient for multi-tasking. The sound quality is crisp and smooth, and the Sony Connect app allows for some light EQ customization. However, there's no touch-to-connect feature, and I did run into occasional issues where one earbud would stay active in the charger, causing audio to still play from it. Still, a solid option for the price.

Posted .Hi AdmiralAckba, thanks for taking the time to write your review, we are so happy to know that you like the outstanding features of your Sony - LinkBuds S such as the well-balanced noise canceling feature as well as the Multipoint connection! This pair of earbuds also come with an immersive sound quality thanks to its Integrated Processor V1, regarding the touch-to-connect feature that is something that will take into consideration for future improvements. As per the issue where one earbud would occasionally stay active in the charging case this is not a common behavior and here are things you can try to solve it:
1- Disable google assistant function from the Sony headphones connect app
2- Make sure the headphones have the latest software version
3- Restore to factory settings (you can check the link below for instructions)
