Posted .Hi Billy, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review of your Sony Linkbuds S. While w're glad you like the excellent sound quality and volume output of these earbuds, we regret to hear that you're having an issue with the fit. If you feel the size of the earbud tips does not fit to your ears, change the earbud tips. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The size of the left and right earbud tips may be different.

Great earbuds!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality and very comfortable. The only issue is the touch settings. Any time you adjust the earbud it will automatically trigger the little touch buttons and that’s annoying

10/10 Earbuds (I’ve purchased them twice)
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of all the earbuds I’ve tried on, these are the most comfortable, best sounding, and best noise canceling I’ve ever tried on/owned. I will say this however, the first pair I owned only lasted me a little over a year (a full charge would only last 20 minutes, everything else was fine) . I feel Like most earbuds last around that long before having issues though. I bought another pair because apart from that issue, I love everything else. Overall, as of March 2024, I prefer these over any other earbuds. Including the newer 1000xm5s. :)

Stopped working after 1.5 years
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVED these earbuds. So comfortable and great sound quality. However they stopped working after only a year and a half. They no longer hold charge longer than like 30-40 minutes. The left side only holds charge for literally 5 minutes. The case takes forever to charge now and can only charge them like one time before needing another charge. I would just hope that earbuds purchased for $200 (what I paid) would last longer than a year and a half.

Posted .Hi Kaylee,
Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear that you love your LinkBuds S and appreciate their exceptional sound quality and comfortable design. However, we sincerely apologize for any issues you may be experiencing with the battery life. This is certainly not the experience we intended for you. We would like to assist you in resolving this matter and improving your overall experience. For the battery life, the usage hours may be different from the time described on the link below depending on the settings for the headset functions & usage conditions.
Available operating time - https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000539655.html
The same goes with the speed of energy consumption for the rechargeable battery between the left and right units. This also depends on the settings for the headset functions and usage conditions. To isolate the problem, please refer to this link:
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000541590.html?search=available
Note:
Either side of the headphones can work as the main unit, and the main unit consumes more power than the other side. Because of this, the remaining battery level may vary between left and right. This is not a malfunction.
And 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.

Replaced Bose with these
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought one pair, then two more. We used the Bose earbuds, but these are smaller, more comfortable, and much more durable. The first pair were so popular with our family we bought two more for the kids and wife.

Fantastic earbuds

I would recommend this to a friendThey don't last long ....
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones work great at first. The downside is if you want to use only one earbud for a phone call, you can only use the left one solo so it must drain the battery life in that one. Now it doesn't fully charge to 100% and it only lasts about 20 minutes while I'm using it. Once it dies, I can't just transition to using the right one on its own. I would recommend finding earbuds where the right OR left can be used alone. Otherwise, the sound quality of the buds are good for music and phone calls.

Worked until they didn't
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm coming up on 2 years of ownership. The first 1.5 were great, had no issues with them. The sound was good enough and they were better at noise canceling than my over ear headphones so great on flights to drown out engine noise. But starting a few months ago, the left earbud has a battery life of about 8 minutes and the right gets about 25. For the money, frustrating to not get 2 years out of a product.
