Sounds great
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounded great for the two weeks I owned them. They fit was a bit loose, even with sizing them properly with the included ear pieces. Unfortunately I dropped them on an airplane so maybe the person who found them can give a better and more comprehensive review

Posted .Hi RJSquirrel,
While we are thrilled to know your satisfaction with the amazing sound quality of the LinkBuds S, we are really sorry if they didn't fit you well. For optimum fit, comfort, and to keep the LinkBuds S from falling out, we always recommend performing the steps on these articles:

Left Earbud Battery Life Issue
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a SONY issue. Purchased these 7-12-22 and now the left earbud can only hold a full charge for roughly 30-40 mins. After going through the suggested actions with SONY Customer Support, they directed me to a repair company that they are affiliated with for further direction. The company said that the cost to repair and resynch the earbud would be about the same cost as repurchasing the product new as the product is now out of warranty. This is not the first time a SONY product I've purchased has had issues around 2 years after the initial purchase. The repair company said I could look at eCommerce sites like eBay to buy the earbud, and then send it off to the repair company for resynching, which would cost about half the original purchase price of the Link Buds. This will be the final SONY branded electronic I buy after a near lifelong dedication to them. When quality sinks, customers look elsewhere. Save your time and money and research other earbuds/headphones.

Literally The Best!! Lookout AirPods Pro
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dear Sony, Thank you Thank you Thank you! After searching and experimenting with MANY different types of ear buds and being so disappointed, I finally got my hands on a pair of the Linkbud S earbuds. Not only are they the most comfortable earbuds I have ever worn, but they have amazing sound quality and fit so securely in my ear. Another thing I struggled with was size of the earbud, but since these are so small and light weight, they fit like a dream. I definitely will be keeping this pair!

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall these have great quality of sound. Every once in a while one ear bud will lose connectivity so you are only getting sound from one side. They connect on their own after a minute or so.

Bluetooth interference
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good but when I’m around other people it turns down the volume and interrupts my flow. I think it tries to pick up other Bluetooth signals. Otherwise it has great sound and easy to use.

Doesnt work
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had these for half a year now and out of nowhere it doesn’t work anymore. Well the case doesn’t work anymore like I didn’t break it or anything like that, but I just came home and I took my earbuds out of my pocket and when I hook it up to the charger it didn’t charge anymore. I cleaned it. I cleaned the air tips. I cleaned the charger. I don’t know what went wrong. I regret buying these wasted good money, but it stays in your ear with the right ear to, but I’m afraid to buy another one if this is going to happen again if I buy the same brand and the same earbuds

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product sounds great but if you use one ear bud like apple. Whatever the the dominant ear bud use chose to use will have damage to the battery life in that earbud . The battery life will become extremely poor. look at reddit and Google for testimonies. Do not buy unless you have a warranty for this product. ¦¦¦¦ I have owned these for a little over a year now and the right earbud dies in 10 minutes fully charged. sony must fix this. I'm deeply disappointed in the quality of this product.

Posted .Hi Besttechnology21, Great! We're glad you're enjoying the amazing sound quality of your Sony Linkbuds S. If you feel the size of the earbud tips does not fit to your ears and keeps falling down, change the earbud tips.

Batteries Stop Working Over a Couple of Months
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I remember correctly, I got the Sony Link Buds S on Nov 2023. Around April 2024, the batteries stop working properly. I would charge it for an hour but one of the buds would be on 70% and the other 100%. However, the batteries would only last 5 minutes. They were good in the beginning, batteries would last two days, sound is great, controls were easy to use. But over time the batteries got worst and worst. Now, they won't charge properly and it's not worth it to use it. I don't know if I got a defected one or it's just a common thing with Sony. I'm debating to buy a new one, fixing it, or get a different brand
