Nice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I charge them fully once a week and they last me the whole week using the almost 8hrs a day. The noise canceling is great and best of all, they don’t hurt my ears like most other earphones do.

Great AirPod Alternatives
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great pair of earbuds. They don’t switch between devices as smoothly as AirPods, but have superior sound and noise cancellation with longer battery life. Would like for the charging case to be wirelessly chargeable too

I like them :)
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These work very well. They are very comfortable and the sound quality is very good. I figured that they would sound good because it’s Sony and they’re the people who do the movie theater sound stuff, but actually using them was pretty shocking.

Most comfortable in ear buds period!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tried so many different earbuds from beats and bose all the way to raycon earbuds, and Sony is without a doubt number one in ANC and comfort. Sony XM4 are better for ANC, but these are more comfortable. I can sleep in these. Wear them for hours and never be uncomfortable wearing them. ANC is top notch as well. Highly recommended.

EXCELLENT buds for price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is excellent quality at fraction of the cost of their flagship earbuds. You do make some sacrifices in the noise cancelling but the tight fit of the buds definitely help. Again, you can pay twice as much or get this and get 90% of the XM5s quality.

Outstanding
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these in Jan 2023 for $200. They still work. For the first year and change, they lasted for 6 hours with normal settings when fully charged. With the noise canceling/ isolating disabled, they lasted even longer. The sound settings are manipulated by using the Sony sound connect app. After 1.5 years of use for about 20 hours a week, I noticed that the battery life declined. Currently, they only last about 3 hours. For earbuds, they haven't disappointed. They offer a decent amount of comfort and don't fall out of my ears.

Posted .Hi KCozi,
It's great to hear that they have been comfortable and reliable for you. It is a known characteristic of all rechargeable batteries to gradually lose capacity over time, and a decrease in battery life after a year and a half of consistent use is normal. We're glad they are still providing a satisfying experience.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards,
Eliab

Sony LinkBuds S
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound quality with easy to control functions by tapping the buds. The Sony app is easy to maneuver and set up. Have had these for almost 2 years without any issues. Keeps a good charge with the earbuds and case for about 2hrs continuous use. Only con is sometimes the buds will slide out due to excess ear juice or sweat. Use them alot in the gym especially the noise cancelling feature to focus on my workout.

Great until they stopped working
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and great quality, until they stopped charging about 8 months later. Went to Best Buy to weigh my options on a replacement. Was told by the associate that Best Buy store 237 would not cover anything past 14 days without the warranty. Sent back to Sony.

Sony Linkbuds S
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these for 100 dollars off and dang I'm impressed how well these block out noise. It's really just your music and yourself when you use noise cancelation. The earbuds are really comfortable and provide a good seel. Ambience sound doesn't sound natural but it gets the job done. The quality is really great but it's even better when you change the equalizer in the Sony headphones app. Overall really great earbuds 10/10
