Perfect noice canceling but does fit well.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these expecting they would fit and perform well. They do provide good clear sound and the noise canceling works really well. I just wished they wouldn’t keep falling out of my ear even after trying all the bud tips. I had to use a special tip from a set of older buds and they ok at the moment but still seems to not fit stable without falling out of my ears.

Posted .Hi SonyBuds, Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sony Linkbuds S. While we're glad to hear that you are impressed with the sound quality and noise canceling feature, we're sad to hear that you have concerns with the fittings. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. We understand that finding the perfect fit can vary from person to person. If you've already tried changing the earbud tips to another size and you're still having issues with fit, we suggest trying out third-party earbud tips.
We'll also take this as feedback as it can help us improve in the future.
Regards,
-Craig
Solid sound, great price
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely loved these earbuds compared to the MK4 buds that I ended up losing. These are so light, I fell asleep with them in several times. The sound quality is JUST as good as the MK4 at half the price. Unfortunately the case to these buds got wet and no longer charges or connects to the buds so until I figure out how to get a new case, they are sitting in a drawer .

Great pair of buds for less!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can definitely tell that these buds were made by Sony with some thought and effort. The noise cancelling is great for this tier of headphones. If you want earbuds that are a step up from beats buds/Jabra buds etc. without breaking the bank, these are the ones. I owned the regular airpods but they kept moving around in my ear when i would jog and exercise. So, i decided to go with an in ear design that were more durable with a much higher quality, without breaking the bank. These are a no brainer middle ground.

Posted .Hi RogF,
Thank you for your time writing this review. While we are glad you like the sound quality, noise canceling features, and connectivity of your Sony LinkBuds S, we're sorry to hear if you are having issues when using the headset for phone call. Allow us to help make this a better experience.
You may try some solutions below if your voice does not reach the person during a call or your voice is low on the caller’s side:
Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears.
If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance.
Restart the Bluetooth device such as your smartphone or computer, and reconnect with the headset.
Reset the headset.
Initialize the headset, and pair the headset and the device again.

Best Earbuds so far.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds have been the best that I've ever had. They fit great in the ear and have stayed in place even when I've put them through a heavy workout. The noise cancellation has also worked wonders when listening to a podcast in a crowded restaurant. I would give them the them the highest recommendation.

From Good to Bad
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked these up in early 2023 and they worked pretty good for what I needed out of them. They were always a little finicky if you swapped out the buds quickly from the case, with them sometimes dropping off and not connecting to Sonys app. Aside from that I thought they were fantastic... That is, until a few weeks ago, I finally had them updated through the app (something I'm always lagging behind on) and now my right earbud can barely make it past 45 minutes of play time. It sounds like this was a common issue after a software update released by Sony in the past year. Before this update I would have said definitely recommend, but I don't think I could recommend them now and I don't think my overall confidence in this product will ever recover. Good: -Small form factor -good sound -durable enough (dropped the left earbud a few times after taking my helmet off) -good price when on sale Bad: -software -battery life (unknown if 100% software or hardware related)

Good ear buds.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It takes some time getting used to if switching from something like a neckband but once you do its hard to notice them in sometimes. The sound canceling is good enough to use for my main purpose of getting them. To use while cutting grass. The sound is good with decent bass battery life sucks but that maybe because i am comeing from neckbanda
