Linkbuds S
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The linkbuds S are the most confortable in ear earbuds I've ever had. Sound is great. I use them mostly for podcast with occasionally listening to music. Love the multi device bluetooth link feature (reason why I bought them). Battery life has not been a problem.

Great Earbuds But Not For My Specific Needs
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to find a pair of earbuds that I could use at work for office calls that I also didn't have to take off to function with customers and co-workers. I had a very specific need in mind: ambient noise passthrough. The Sony Linkbuds S was my third choice of Sony's lineup, and they only work so so for my needs. The biggest issue is phone calls. When ambient noise passthrough is on, the caller complains of being "on speaker" and hearing echoes and noise on the call. With those issues, I can't use them for business, and that's why I had to rate them as low as I did. Please note: for someone seeking active noise canceling, an audiophile, or someone who won't be using them primarily for phone calls, these are brilliant for their price point.

Posted .Hi FrancesH,

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are nice and small! The material feel cheap but the quality is amazing! The Bluetooth range is no good! the fitting is great especially with the xs ear tips.

Comfortable, Sound Great, and Easy
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are small and very lightweight. They sound great, although they do not have as great of Noise Cancelling as the WH1000XM4. They are very easy to set up and adjust with the Sony Headphones App. The case and earbuds have a unique texture that is a little weird at first but I got used to it after a few days.
