      Hi GinaE,

      While we are glad to know your satisfaction with the very comfortable fit design, features, and outstanding sound quality of the LinkBuds S, we are really sorry if you had encountered a Bluetooth connection issue and that your unit had to be returned. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. The LinkBuds S are designed to provide reliable and stable connectivity during various activities. However, certain factors such as distance, signal interference, and the environment can affect the connection. Some of these issues can be fixed by performing our suggested troubleshooting steps on this article:

      Sincerely,

    Didn’t like the fact that they had touch controls. My ears are small so with headphones like these i have to push them in a lot. Everytime I wound push them back in some control would go off, which was very frustrating. Didn’t feel stable in my ears and would start sliding every couple of seconds. I returned and i’m sticking to my Beats pros.

      Hi Isabella,

      Thank you for the review and we do apologize for the inconvenience. It is unfortunate that the unit had to be returned. If the unit is still with you, please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. To adjust the fit of the headset to your ears, make sure to twist the headset unit to slide the earbud tip deep into your ear canal.

      Hey AndreB, thank you for your review of the WF-LS900N. We appreciate your feedback about the various features. Here is a comprehensive response addressing your points:

      1. AI Feature: The automatic intervention of AI is designed to enhance the functionality of the earbuds. However, if you find it to be intrusive, you can modify the settings in the Sony | Sound Connect app to better suit your preferences.

      2. Tap Feature Lag: We understand that the tap feature lag can be frustrating. Ensuring that the firmware is up-to-date can sometimes resolve such issues. You can update your firmware via the Sony | Sound Connect app. Additionally, double-checking the Bluetooth signal strength and reducing interference from other devices could improve performance.

      3. Comfort: Ear running or discomfort can occur, especially during prolonged use. To improve comfort, consider using different sizes of the provided ear tips to achieve a better fit. Additionally, ensuring the earbuds are worn correctly can help mitigate this issue.

      Your feedback is invaluable to us as it helps in improving our products and services.
      If the issue persists, please get in contact with us via email to provide you better assistance on this matter. Send your name, username, model number, issue, and telephone number to socialsupport@am.sony.com.
