    Coming from the XM4 after the dreaded battery bug, I like almost everything about the link buds S more. Better connectivity Lighter weight Smaller and more flush to the ear Sounds the same of not better than the XM4 Almost as good ANC Way cheaper than the XM4 or new XM5

    I was looking for earbuds and was confused between airpods 2 pro, bose and linkbuds. Finally i went ahead with linkbuds and i made the best choice of my life. Linkbuds s are very light, you can keep this in your ears for hours and your ears dont pain. The sound quality is also great with the selection of preset equalizer. The best part of these earbuds is the Active Noise Cancellation feature. I am happy with my purchase. Great Work Sony.

    They sound great and are very comfortable. But one of the ear pieces quit charging after a little over a month so i could not return. I would have been happy to just replace with the same item. So i give 3 stars.

    I like the fit, the quality of sound not so much. It’s not convenient when answering hands free. When listening to music it cut off when it picks up voices. No wireless charge. I love the color.

    Pros Alright i want to start by saying I’ve tried almost all of the “mid to high end” earbuds. I will say these are easily some of the most comfortable especially for something that doesn’t have wingtips or foam tips. They are very light “noise canceling easily in the top along with the XM4 and Beatsfit pro or air pods pro. App is better than any earbud app hands down. Cons They just don’t get very loud. I will say if your want something louder go with beats fit, or AirPods aside from that so far i can see a thing wrong with them

    Excellent sound quality compared to other buds I’ve tested. They beat out the AirPods Pro no contest, and same with their older big sibling the XM4’s. For the price, the audio is crisp and punchy, great battery life, nice build material and nice looking, and VERY lightweight.
