Amazing Pair of Earbuds!

Very good when not defective
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my LinkBuds S and am a huge fan of them. I like how the transparency mode setting allows me to keep my headphones on and talk to people. I also like the noise cancellation it provides. Unfortunately, I believe that the product I received was defective. While using the noise cancelling or transparency feature, I constantly hear a "wind blowing" sound coming from the left bud. It's very distracting, and it makes it difficult for me to enjoy the product.

Not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s been a little over a year since I purchased these earbuds and the fall off in battery life is very noticeable. I wouldn’t ever recommend these for anyone. I use them everyday I’m at work which is 14 days monthly. They lasted about 3 hrs when I first bought them, now they last 1.5 hrs, a year later. These are by far the worst set of earbuds I’ve ever purchased compared to Jaybirds, Beats and AirPods, regular and Pros.

I like it but....
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for wireless buds I have 3 different brand and wanted another one after checking several reviews on you tube and websites I make the decision to buy it. I like the earbuds it was what I was looking for. Excellent size , great noise cancellation the weight was perfect but the sound just was disappointed it was too good to be true. I tried to fall in love with them to see if can keep them but I can't. I just returned it to the store.

Good for what it is, at sale price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They were a bit uncomfortable for me, but seemed like decent value when they were on sale. Decent sound for the price with adjustable eq, but not the best option out there.

Posted .Hi DanielK,
Thank you for your time writing this review. While we are glad you like the sound quality and adjustable EQ settings of your Sony Linkbuds S, we're sorry to hear your discomforts while wearing the unit. We suggest to change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. Gently pull on the top of your ear as you twist the headset unit to slide the earbud tip deep into your ear canal. This should give you a firmer hold and reduce discomforts. For reference: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000536462.html
We appreciate your feedback. Thanks again for purchasing Sony. - Kris
