    Purchased these for my wife. She absolutely loves them. She says hands down the best earbuds ever for noise overstimulation. Would recommend to those suffering from misophonia.

      Hi Billy, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review of your Sony Linkbuds S. While w're glad you like the excellent sound quality and volume output of these earbuds, we regret to hear that you're having an issue with the fit. If you feel the size of the earbud tips does not fit to your ears, 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.

      The LinkBuds S provide crystal clear calls with our Precise Voice Pickup technology. Sony’s V1 Processor provides a well-balanced and high-quality sound for an authentic listening experience. 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. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

      Hello Darci, We regret to hear you are having an issue with your Sony LinkBuds. Please make sure to update the firmware of your headphones: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/linkbuds-s/downloads. The software updates improve the general performance of the unit and include key features, applications, and bug fixes. Restart the connected device such as a smartphone or a computer you use, and pair the headset and the device again. Set the headset to “Priority on stable connection”. Bluetooth communications may be disabled, or noise or audio dropout may occur when there is an obstacle, such as metal or a wall, between the headset and the Bluetooth device and in places with wireless LAN, where a microwave oven is used, electromagnetic waves are generated, etc. Make sure the headphones and the charging case have enough charge. Set the headset into the charging case and close the lid of the charging case. You may be able to resolve some issues by setting the headset into the charging case. Despite your concern, it's good to know that you like the noise canceling feature of your LinkBuds S.
