      Hi BrianM, Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Sony Linkbuds S. We regret to hear that the bass quality and volume did not live up to your expectations. To enhance your listening experience, we recommend using the Sony Headphones Connect app, which allows you to customize the audio settings to better suit your preferences. You can adjust the equalizer settings to boost the bass and overall sound output. Additionally, ensuring that the earbuds are properly fitted in your ears can significantly impact the sound quality and bass response. Please refer to this link for more details on how to properly wear these earbuds: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbudss/v1/en/contents/TP1000536462.html
      Hope this helps and thanks for choosing Sony. -Sam Sony_US

    It doesn't go back to prior sound after noise cancellation occurs. Not my favorite, although I like that it's a small case and I can keep it in my purse, pocket, etc.

    Audio problems

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros- Great headphones all around, extremely durable and great noise cancellation. I have no problems with any of their uses Cons- Run with plenty of problems when it comes into audio. They run faulty and many consumers actively dont use these because they have a blatant issue. The headphones will screech or will have a wind sound that many believe may be due to the noise cancellation. Final verdict- If you get these they will be great if they work. But due to many people experiencing issues with the audio i would avoid these

      Hi DanielC,

      We're glad that you like the design and noise canceling function of the LinkBuds S. It's unfortunate that you are experiencing noise issues with the headphones. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).

      Some devices that emit ultrasonic sound waves designed to repel rodents may occasionally be installed at the entrances of commercial facilities or subway stations. Near such devices, the ultrasonic sound waves may cause noise or unusual sound to be heard from the headset. Leave the place where the noise or unusual sound is heard. Or turn off the noise canceling function/Ambient Sound Mode from the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.

    Save your money and dont buy these, little after a year of owning them the battery of the right earbud went bad and it would not hold charge and it would die in less than 10 minutes of being used, the left earbud seems to be fine but it cannot even be used if the other one is dead.
