YES Finally
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are honestly a solid eight out of 10. I like their noise, cancellation and transparency mode a little bit more than the Apple version these fit so snug in the ear and are so comfortable to wear. They don’t slip as easily as the apple version the touch sensitivity is really sensitive so I like that I can just barely touch it and I adjust the volume or adjust the playback features, I’m glad that I purchased this product.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, Neil!
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you are experiencing the excellent sound performance and noise reduction of your WF-LS900N/B LinkBuds S. It's wonderful to know that they have surpassed your expectations, especially when compared to other popular earbuds!
We appreciate your honest comment regarding the battery life. We designed these earbuds to be incredibly compact and lightweight for all-day wear, and we understand that this is a compromise many manufacturers face when balancing size with battery capacity. The LinkBuds S are officially rated for up to 6 hours of continuous playback with noise cancellation on, plus an additional 14 hours from the case.
Since you use them for about 4 hours daily, we are glad they cover your listening session. We hope the quick charging feature (up to 60 minutes of playtime from a 5-minute charge) helps bridge the gap when you need a quick boost!
Thank you again for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Gus, Sony Social Media Team

A good buy, after good advice.

I really want to thank the sales person who so enthusiastically showed me my way around ear pods. I would have bought the same ones, again but like these far better. Thank you.

Super love them! ❤️
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think these are absolutely great! I love everything about them except one small little feature that would be nice to update would be being able to keep the noise cancelling off when I turn it off and then allow me to turn it back on with out automatically switching even moving a feet or few feet. Other than that I love it and the 360 feature is incredible along with his well the noise cancelling feature works. Great buy!

Best Sounding Buds I’ve used
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow, sound is Amazing & fitment is solid, makes you forget about case not being wireless charging ( still a bummer). I got these today set up & wore for hrs. Getting used to touch control was a slight learning curve. Just have to lightly tap bud for volume, track change etc. Buds themself are sneak & SUPER LIGHT weight, wore for about 2+ hours I’d say comfort level is 7\8 new foams can make a 10 ( easy fix) app is decent, used EQ and sound/ music is perfect for me now. I own Jabra 75T, Beats Fit Pros & ditched the Air pod pros a while back. These are hands down best sounding buds I’ve used to date. ANC is solid also. Beats FIT PROS were my favorite till today ( I’ll still use) Hoping an update allows the face touch instead of having to touch bud like the Linksbuds ( donuts) offer- cool feature. So in short: Sound, quality, size, ease of use 100% solid! The case not being wireless is just dead wrong now a days! I was close to getting XM4 , but size isn’t too my liking. Good purchase

Not for small ears or loud music
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really really really wanted to love these earbuds. I have a Samaung S21 Ultra and an iPhone 12. I really loved that the earbuds and the app paired very well with both devices and I could connect the headphones to both devices at once, if I wanted. I loved that! I previously had the 1st generation Samsung earbuds, which I loved until a shortage took out my left bud. These reminded me of those. I also loved the compact size of the charging case. The noise cancelling is good as well. On the flip side, these buds did not fit into my ears. I had to force them and turn them and they still didn't fit well, even with the smallest tips. When is I'd turn my head left and right, the buds would disconnect and reconnect. I wouldn't dare run in these. They have nothing to secure them in your ear, so they need to fit perfectly or it'll never work. They also didn't get loud enough for me. I took these back after a week and replaced them with the Bose Quietcomfort (not the II). LOOOOOOVE those earbuds and the flexible wingtip for your ear. Overall.... these are are solid earbuds, but if you have small ears, these probably aren't for you. If you like your music loud, these aren't for you. GREAT for conversations though! They really cancel out background noise so your caller hears you super clear (unless there are people talking around you. It picks up voices).

Posted .Hi Tiana,
While we are glad to hear that you love the multipoint connection feature (available after installing the latest firmware update), compact size of the charging case, industry-leading noise canceling feature, and crystal-clear call quality of our LinkBuds S, we regret to know that it had to be returned due to fit and volume/loudness issues. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. For optimum sound quality, fit, comfort, and to keep the LinkBuds S from falling out, we always recommend following the steps on these articles:

Batteries stop holding charge
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works better than expected, but earbud batteries start to go bad after about a year. About 16 months in and a fully charged earbud lasts about an hour or less.

Connectivity can be spotty
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great, and these have some really cool control / app features. The bluetooth connection can be a little spotty sometimes. I'll have music playing, but when my phone rings, it won't answer the call in the headphones. Only happens on occasion and it's when I have more than one phone connected, hoping a software update will fix that; It's the only reason these aren't five stars for me.
