Posted .Hi Ejyy, We're truly delighted to hear about your satisfaction with the features and amazing performance of your LinkBuds S. We regret to learn the you've had experienced issues with the noise canceling not sufficient on these earbud headphones. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. The noise canceling effects may not be achieved depending on how the headset units are worn. To make the most of the noise canceling function, we recommend to make sure that headphones are worn properly and also turn off the Adaptive Sound Control, and try to turn on the noise canceling function manually when you need it. The noise canceling function is effective in low frequency ranges such as airplanes, trains, offices, near air-conditioning, and is not as effective for higher frequencies, such as human voices. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Jess

YES Finally
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are honestly a solid eight out of 10. I like their noise, cancellation and transparency mode a little bit more than the Apple version these fit so snug in the ear and are so comfortable to wear. They don’t slip as easily as the apple version the touch sensitivity is really sensitive so I like that I can just barely touch it and I adjust the volume or adjust the playback features, I’m glad that I purchased this product.

EQ for bass, super comfortable to wear all day
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these to replace my AirPod Pro gen 1. I’ve tried the newest gen Pros and the sound quality just didn’t work for me. The Linkbuds S work surprisingly well. Great sound quality once you mess with the EQ. The ANC and transparency mode is on par with the Pros. The best thing I like about these is that they’re extremely comfortable, I can wear these for multiple hours even sleep with them since they don’t push into your ear when you sleep on your side. These will connect to multiple devices but you need to update to the latest firmware For the price and quality I would recommend these over the AirPods Pro

The ones that don’t keep falling out

Good
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these since the Samsung Galaxy Buds were destroying my ears. They have some kind of a metal alloy that a very big percentage of people are allergic to it seems. This works great. The battery life is good. The only downside I found was that when I have the phone in my right pocket and use both buds while walking, there's interruptions from time to time which is very annoying. It goes away if I only use the one that's on the same side as the phone.

Batteries stop holding charge
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works better than expected, but earbud batteries start to go bad after about a year. About 16 months in and a fully charged earbud lasts about an hour or less.

Battery's not long for this world.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great. The noise canceling and pass-through also sound great. Great connection with my phone and watch, I never had drop-outs. The battery life, when new, was great. However, the battery is now to the point where the right earbud is dead after 25-30 minutes despite starting with a full charge. These are only 15 months old, of course just outside the warranty window. That's a major disappointment and makes these effectively short-term e-waste. I suppose it's a similar story for most earbuds, unfortunately.

Super love them! ❤️
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think these are absolutely great! I love everything about them except one small little feature that would be nice to update would be being able to keep the noise cancelling off when I turn it off and then allow me to turn it back on with out automatically switching even moving a feet or few feet. Other than that I love it and the 360 feature is incredible along with his well the noise cancelling feature works. Great buy!
