    Audio problems

    Pros- Great headphones all around, extremely durable and great noise cancellation. I have no problems with any of their uses Cons- Run with plenty of problems when it comes into audio. They run faulty and many consumers actively dont use these because they have a blatant issue. The headphones will screech or will have a wind sound that many believe may be due to the noise cancellation. Final verdict- If you get these they will be great if they work. But due to many people experiencing issues with the audio i would avoid these

      Hi DanielC,

      We're glad that you like the design and noise canceling function of the LinkBuds S. It's unfortunate that you are experiencing noise issues with the headphones. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).

      Some devices that emit ultrasonic sound waves designed to repel rodents may occasionally be installed at the entrances of commercial facilities or subway stations. Near such devices, the ultrasonic sound waves may cause noise or unusual sound to be heard from the headset. Leave the place where the noise or unusual sound is heard. Or turn off the noise canceling function/Ambient Sound Mode from the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.

    It doesn't go back to prior sound after noise cancellation occurs. Not my favorite, although I like that it's a small case and I can keep it in my purse, pocket, etc.
