    I am very picky about my earbuds and headphones and with a larger right ear opening, I wanted something which would stay fit even when I am running or carrying out intense activities. I tried so many ear buds but then eventually was very much satisfied with these LinkBuds S. The best thing about this earbuds is that once you put it in and twist a little bit, it hold into the ear opening just perfect for it to do its job. And as far as audio quality goes, Sony has never put me down! Strongly recommend for those who love good audio and a proper fit.

    I use them for work as a German technician, and they cancel out all unwanted sounds except when detailers spray the water off the cars with compressed air, and the screened microphone gets covered with dirt. I have a pair for work and a pair for home. Highly recommend if you want to use for day to day.

    These headphones believe the perfect balance of noise canceling and safety for the runner, boxer and lifter that hates earbuds that fall out. These stay snug, don’t irritate, and have a super long battery standby and active mode. Perfect for yourself or a gift. Grab ‘em up!

    sound quality and feature set is quite nice. Batter life was good enough to get me through half of a day at first. after 3 or so years, they have become quite finicky, straight up shutting off randomly or getting an early low battery warning, even though the app says 50+% remaining.

      Hi sajackson,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the LinkBuds S. We're glad that you like the sound quality and battery life of the headphones. It's unfortunate that the earbuds are no longer working properly. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Sound Connect app). It is also recommended to charge both earbuds sufficiently. Resetting and initializing the headset may also help resolve the issue. Please refer to the steps on these links:

    These have great sound quality and are tiny. Very comfortable to wear all day. I tested the mic for phone calls and they great. They really rival Airpods pro for phone calls and that surprised me considering they're so small they basically disappear inside your ears. My only knock on these and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of wireless charging. How can a company design a premium earbud, charge $200 for them and not give you the option for wireless charging? It makes no sense. make a wireless charging case at the same price point and these would rank right up there with the best!

    Great noise cancelling. Acceptable sound quality (You usually can't have both). A little fussy with Bluetooth connection but controls work consistently, almost a little too responsive. Put these on and you can still hear conversations but the room noise is drastically reduced. I am a little older and find these helpful to make voices more clear in heavy background noise almost I expect the way a hearing aid would. New user so not a lot of experience with battery life yet but so far very happy with them. Small and comfortable. These aren't going to be audiophile HiFi sound but most people using noise cancelling understand that is the downside of noise cancelling.

    Honestly is one of my go-to earbuds to recommend to someone who wants decent sound quality and good noise cancelation. I have longer hair so when I wear them I kind of forget their there. After like 2-3 hours they do start to get noticeable, but it's better than the base Linkbuds. Would suggest these 100%.

    Solid headphones. At full retail I'd expect wireless charging given that it is standard amongst competitors. Do have to charge the case a bit more often then I would like, but headphones themselves have amazing battery life even with ANC on. ANC is good, blocks most noise. Do note I mostly use these in an office environment or at home and almost never use them elsewhere. Ambient sound is pretty good when you're not having a conversation, but when you do it's an odd experience. Listening to music is a great experience, if you are listening to something that is not bass heavy. On sale they are a good value. At full retail, consider them, admire them, and hope they go on sale so you don't purchase them at full price. 4 Stars because I got them on sale, otherwise they are a solid 3. 3 because they are better then most, but most others (at the same price point) offer rival sound and are more feature rich.
