Solid earbuds, although a bit pricy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Small and compact and should fit well even in really small ears. ANC is ok but obviously Somys flagship buds are a better choice if thats a priority to you. I my opinion they are the best earbuds in their price range and beat out some above their price range as well.

Sony Linkbud S
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the quality for the price. The battery life is the main reason I chose this product. My only downside is the noise cancellation on them. They tend to go between being active and then not when it comes to the noise cancellation and it becomes bothersome.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound great and are very comfortable. But one of the ear pieces quit charging after a little over a month so i could not return. I would have been happy to just replace with the same item. So i give 3 stars.

Good
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These feel really comfortable and have good sound quality. The only complaint I have is the customizability of the controls is lacking and sometimes the connection shorts out when I'm watching videos on my laptop. I got them on sale so the price was reasonable, but I don't if buying them full price would be worth it.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I work on a loud boat and panicked the first time i turned on the noise canceling feature. The sound is good; It comes with an equalizer! The app is good enough, with only a few minor functions I’d like to see added. The headphones have addressable multitouch functions, pretty handy, but no volume control that I’ve noticed.

Was very hesitant at first but 100% worth it !
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was watching a lot of reviews before making this purchase and it came down to the Xm1000 and the link buds. And I leaned more towards these because most comparisons stated it isn’t to much of a difference, just the fact that the XM1000 sounded but I ultimately went with the linkbuds because of the price and the sleek design and these may be the best buds I’ve bought in a while . Battery life is great , hasn’t fell off my ear yet and no real issues so far . I would definitely suggest to buy this !
