Favorite earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have been my favorite earbuds to date. I’ve owned beats, airpods, sennheisers, other sony’s (xm3, 4.) The main reason I love these so much, is the comfort. I can wear them all day without ear discomfort or fatigue. They sound great and the ANC is top tier. Only critique I have is the mic is not the best.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat, but no Battery life!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to say, these have to be some if the best ive ever tried. Sound quality is great, the adaptive noise cancelling is so on point its amazing. Only two issues and only 1 that bothers ne. They advertise 6 hours. These barely lasted ne 3 hours at full charge. Super bad. I wouldnt recommended these for calls. I could hear clearly but the other party could never hear me. I have a set strictly for calls so thats no biggie. I nean if they pasted 6 hours, i wouldnt even be looking another pair!

Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Debated on staying with AirPods but glad I decided on these. Great sound with the ability to tailor the sound to what I like. They also fit great inside my motorcycle helmet. Couldn't be happier I gave these a shot.

Just as good as the Sony WF-1000XM4 but smaller
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for ladies with smaller ears. They fit perfectly on my wife. I have the largerWF-1000XM4 and honestly I can’t tell the difference in the sound. Both give good noise cancelling. If I could do over, I’d probably save the money and buy these for myself also.

Better than Samsung
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the LDAC codec enabled these sound leagues better than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2 or whatever their top item is named. I'd also say the Sony buds are more comfortable, especially over a long time period.

Good fit- Bad sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have trouble placing these’s properly because I absolutely loved the build quality and in ear feel- They’re a perfect fit to wear between work and home, but god do I hate how they sound. If you’re really into bass-y headphones they’re definitely for you, but I couldn’t cope with the super thin, tinny high end that at times seemingly erased half of the instruments from any given song. The EQ that comes with the Sony app help a small, unsubstantial amount, but past a certain threshold what should be the high end turns into straight air. There’s probably a target audience that’d love these, but I was widely let down

Nice piece of high tech in ear.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is perfect. The only reason I gave 4 star is due to that it is not a full-time in ear comfortable piece. I used for around 6 straight hours for 3 days and after 2 hours in ear, it really feels push in the surrounding areas of the plug, Quality is great, no doubt about it. However, the NC is not fully convincing. I returned the item. Wanted to replace my WX-1000XM4 after seeing the commercials as full time wearable but, it didn't feel like one.

Sony Linkbud S
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love everything about them. Very comfortable fit with greqt features. Competes with alot of flagship products with half or 1/3 Of their price. Would have loved it if it had better water resistant capabilities. Other than that...great products. I bought this twise for my family members. I am a heavy TWS user who owns most of the high end flagship models of other brands like Sony, Bose and Jabra. Ashamed to say even Airpod pro 2s. What a disappointment that is. Highly recommended this though.

So Close to a 5 star rating.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Noise Cancelling - 5 stars Comfort - 5 stars I purchased the first set at the end of November 2022. I have tried others but none have been comfortable and falls out easily - these are comfortable and they stay in even with vigorous movement. The only reason I rated 4 stars is that for a recent trip, I charged them but when I got on the airplane only one bud was in the case. When I got home I found the other bud. It must have fallen out of the case when I checked to see if they needed to be charged. I love them so much we bought a second pair (this set) for my husband. Just be careful when opening the case as they fall out easily and the case is slippery to grasp when opening. It would be better if the case had a fastener to hold it shut.
