Terrible battery life 14 months old.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased new and 14 months later the left earbud dies in matter of minutes. The right ear bud is fine. I use them often and love them but it now useless 14 months later and 2 months out of warranty. Sony does not want to replace them as they are not under warranty and seems to be an issue with a lot of their earphones.

Posted .Hi Mateo,
Perfect! We're glad that you like the sound quality and weight of the headphones. Link your worlds as LinkBuds S switch seamlessly between superlative noise canceling and natural ambient sound. Smart features and settings learn from your behavior and automatically adjust sound settings to provide the right sound for the moment. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these Sony earbuds so you can keep on moving to the music. A newly developed 5mm driver unit, featuring a high-compliance diaphragm, helps keep the LinkBuds S small while driving your music with rich low frequency bass sound. Sony’s Integrated Processor V1 improves noise cancellation, enhances sound quality, and reduces distortion. Thanks for choosing Sony!

Mid frequency Distortion. Useless features.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Couldnt get rid of the distortion. It didnt seem to correspond to volume but to frequency. Might can be resolved with an update. Dont remember this issue before FW4.0. Way too many feature nobody will use. Equalizer adds an overall muffling making it useless. Tips it came with have a small aperture making it easy to mess up sound if not placed right. Get foam tips.

Posted .Hi AndyS,
It is unfortunate to know that you are having an issue with your LinkBuds S within a less than a year of use. This is certainly not the experience we were hoping you would have. Please allow us to help you troubleshoot the problem. If you haven't yet, please try performing the steps on these articles to isolate your audio issue with the one side of the LinkBuds S:
There is no sound, or sound is only heard from one side of the earbud headphones (LinkBuds S) - https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/linkbuds-s/articles/00278101
Sound skips when using the headphones (LinkBuds S) - https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/linkbuds-s/articles/00278106
And as a general recommendation, if you haven't tried yet, we recommend updating its firmware to the latest version. The firmware update improves the functionality and features of the headphones. It also provides fixes to any performance issues that you are encountering.

I hope this helps.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are not good.

DON’T DROP ON FLOOR
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m a warehouse worker and like to listen to music on the job, however these earphones are a bit hard to grip out of the case and are prone to slipping out of my fingers. After just one drop the left earphone is already popping static into my ear basically unusable, $211 dollars for one drop to break them?

Posted .Hi bigdaddynorcal,
Thank you for the feedback and we're sorry if you're disappointed with the sound quality of the headphones. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. If the headphones are still with you, we're more than happy to help you out. The sound quality of the headphones will depend on the source that you're playing. Also, 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.
We suggest to change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The size of the left and right earbud tips may be different.
For us to better assist you, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Great sound quality, poor battery performance
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these because they were on sale, and still regret it. I had read about battery issues but decided to take my chances. Right out of the box, the left bud drains significantly faster than the right. I can only assume this will get worse over time. Save your money.
