Posted .Hi TrevonC,
We're sorry to hear if you find the volume doesn't get very loud and the volume becomes low. Allow us to help you and turn your experience around. Make sure to update the firmware of the headphones by performing a software update (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. Doing so may resolve the issue.
If the headset is not worn properly in your ears, you may not obtain the correct sound qualities or call performance. If the part of the headset where sound is output is not oriented correctly toward the ear canal, the sound quality may sound poor or the left and right sound localization may sound misaligned.
If the sound quality is poor, the bass sound is not effective, or the sound is too low, please make sure to follow the troubleshooting steps from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l900/articles/00276486

Posted .Hi Reapodude, We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with your WFL900. Please try a different fitting supporter to get a more comfortable fit also, please check our help guide link on how to find a more comfort fit https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/index.html
If you feel the size of the fitting supporters does not fit your ears, change the fitting supporters to another size that fits your ears better. The size of the left and right fitting supporters may be different. Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. If you wear the headset for a long time, your ears may start hurting. Use the headset while taking breaks periodically.

Posted .Hi Ff16,
Thank you for sharing your honest review of the LinkBuds. We're sorry to hear if they did not fit you well. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. The LinkBuds may fall out or feel uncomfortable during use if you don't wear the LinkBuds properly or the ear fitting supporters are not correct for your ears.
• Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears.
• If you feel the size of the fitting supporters does not fit your ears, change the fitting supporters to another size that fits your ears better.
• After attaching the fitting supporter, check that there is no movement on the LinkBuds. (Shake your head back and forth.)
Note: If they fall off or move in your ears when you shake your head, select a different size. The best fitting supporter may be different for each ear.

Posted .Hi Snoopy,
We're so sorry to hear if an earache occurs when putting on our WF-L900 LinkBuds. This is definitely not the customer experience we want you to have.

Posted .Hi 9to5Pro,
We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the Sony LinkBuds. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the headphones is up-to-date (via the Sony Headphones Connect app).
It is recommended to wear both earbuds properly. M-sized fitting supporters come attached to the left and right units of the headset at the time of purchase. When the headset is worn and you feel the size of the fitting supporters does not fit your ears, change the fitting supporters to another size to comfortably and snugly fit your left and right ears.
If the headset is not worn properly in your ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct sound qualities or call performance. If the part of the headset where sound is output is not oriented correctly toward the ear canal, the sound quality may sound poor or the left and right sound localization may sound misaligned.
Additionally, you can use the Equalizer/CLEAR BASS setting of the Sony app to fine-tune the sound quality to your needs.

Posted .Hi Badstuff, We are sorry to hear about the issue you are having. This is usually not the case for our products nor the experience we want you to have. If the headset is not worn properly in your ears, you may not obtain the correct sound qualities of this unit. Please watch the video on this link to find out how to change the fitting supporters and how to wear the headset properly in your ears.
https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000445573.html
And to ensure optimal listening experience, please try to download the Sony Headphones Connect app, this app has a built-in equalizer that lets you adjust the bass level and fine tune the music to your liking.
Once Bluetooth devices are paired, there is no need to pair them again. But if the headset is already paired and you're still having an issue connecting it automatically to your device, please follow the troubleshooting steps on the link below:
