    Usually it's difficult to find headphones to fit my ears.... and stay in place during activity. These stay put and sound great. The noise cancelling is a great feature too..

    This is my second unit. The first one broke after 9 months. I use it every day for work. It is very comfortable to wear 6-7 hours per day. Overall, I am happy with the performance. Audio canceling and audio quality are not top-notch in the market but I am willing to sacrifice those for comfort and easy wearability.

    I loved these buds from Sony. They are not that great for Noise canceling like their big brother the WF-1000XM5 but they will remove some unwanted sound. The sound quality is where they shine for my taste. The WF-1000XM5 does have better quality but the spatial sound on these just hit differently. I said I loved these because they are not water resistant and neither is the case. I made a mistake and dropped them outside in some water and could not recover them. So sad.

    I was very impressed with these true wireless earbuds. They sound great, and the touch controls are extremely convenient and useful. The only issue I have with these is that, at times, they have pauses in audio. I'm not sure if it is a connection issue or what, but it is a bit annoying. Other than that, these are great earbuds.

    They worked and sounded great at first. After about a month I started hearing a loud static, popping noise and the music would cut out. I have had Sony over the ear headphones that did the same thing. Will be taking back for another brand. Luckily I always get the warranty on electronics.

      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.
