EQ for bass, super comfortable to wear all day
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these to replace my AirPod Pro gen 1. I’ve tried the newest gen Pros and the sound quality just didn’t work for me. The Linkbuds S work surprisingly well. Great sound quality once you mess with the EQ. The ANC and transparency mode is on par with the Pros. The best thing I like about these is that they’re extremely comfortable, I can wear these for multiple hours even sleep with them since they don’t push into your ear when you sleep on your side. These will connect to multiple devices but you need to update to the latest firmware For the price and quality I would recommend these over the AirPods Pro

Good ear buds for brief listening
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing set of ear buds. Only red flag is the amount of charge. I was gettj f roughly 4 hours.
I would recommend this to a friendYES 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.

The ones that don’t keep falling out
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect for physical activities. I tried way more expensive brands but they all kept falling out of the ears. No matter how intense the physical activity is, they will stay in place.

Good
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these since the Samsung Galaxy Buds were destroying my ears. They have some kind of a metal alloy that a very big percentage of people are allergic to it seems. This works great. The battery life is good. The only downside I found was that when I have the phone in my right pocket and use both buds while walking, there's interruptions from time to time which is very annoying. It goes away if I only use the one that's on the same side as the phone.

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.

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!

Battery's not long for this world.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great. The noise canceling and pass-through also sound great. Great connection with my phone and watch, I never had drop-outs. The battery life, when new, was great. However, the battery is now to the point where the right earbud is dead after 25-30 minutes despite starting with a full charge. These are only 15 months old, of course just outside the warranty window. That's a major disappointment and makes these effectively short-term e-waste. I suppose it's a similar story for most earbuds, unfortunately.

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.
