Doesnt work
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had these for half a year now and out of nowhere it doesn’t work anymore. Well the case doesn’t work anymore like I didn’t break it or anything like that, but I just came home and I took my earbuds out of my pocket and when I hook it up to the charger it didn’t charge anymore. I cleaned it. I cleaned the air tips. I cleaned the charger. I don’t know what went wrong. I regret buying these wasted good money, but it stays in your ear with the right ear to, but I’m afraid to buy another one if this is going to happen again if I buy the same brand and the same earbuds

design flaw
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product sounds great but if you use one ear bud like apple. Whatever the the dominant ear bud use chose to use will have damage to the battery life in that earbud . The battery life will become extremely poor. look at reddit and Google for testimonies. Do not buy unless you have a warranty for this product. ¦¦¦¦ I have owned these for a little over a year now and the right earbud dies in 10 minutes fully charged. sony must fix this. I'm deeply disappointed in the quality of this product.

Posted .Hi Besttechnology21, Great! We're glad you're enjoying the amazing sound quality of your Sony Linkbuds S. If you feel the size of the earbud tips does not fit to your ears and keeps falling down, change the earbud tips. 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. Hope this helps!

The LinkBuds feature an IPX4 splash-proof and sweat-proof design, Adaptive Volume Control adjusting the volume to the environment around you and a battery life is 5.5 hours and up to 17.5 hours with the charging case.

Batteries Stop Working Over a Couple of Months
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I remember correctly, I got the Sony Link Buds S on Nov 2023. Around April 2024, the batteries stop working properly. I would charge it for an hour but one of the buds would be on 70% and the other 100%. However, the batteries would only last 5 minutes. They were good in the beginning, batteries would last two days, sound is great, controls were easy to use. But over time the batteries got worst and worst. Now, they won't charge properly and it's not worth it to use it. I don't know if I got a defected one or it's just a common thing with Sony. I'm debating to buy a new one, fixing it, or get a different brand

Punished for getting them as a gift
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this product as a gift. The battery life was great for about 6 months, then they stopped working after using for 3 to 4 minutes at a time. Sony refused to honor the warranty without receipt and said if I could not get the receipt from my friend it didn't matter of they don't work, there is no return. If you do buy them, keep the receipt or they won't help you either!

Severe Battery Drainage
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Until recently, I found the Sony Linkbuds S earbuds to be decent. However, I've experienced some frustrating issues with the left earbud turning off unexpectedly. It sometimes restarts after a few taps or when placed back in the charging case. About a month ago, the left earbud's battery began draining rapidly, lasting less than 20 minutes per charge. I attempted two factory resets but saw no improvement. I reached out to Sony's customer service, including a conversation with a supervisor. Unfortunately, they seemed more focused on informing me that the earbuds were past the one-year warranty than on providing any potential solutions. The supervisor showed little concern that these earbuds are less than two years old and cost over $150. It appears that Sony is willing to manufacture earbuds with a lifespan of under two years. While your experience may vary, I question why anyone would take the risk with these earbuds when other brands are available that don't have this known issue.
