Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hi Cimong,

Thank you for purchasing the Sony LinkBuds Truly Wireless Earbuds. We're happy to hear you like the good sound quality of these earbuds. We regret to know that you're having issues with the unit particularly when getting them out of your ears. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the small size of the earbuds and case.

Small and light with super fit styling for hours of comfortable wearing, they ensure you're always connected to your life, so you'll never miss a thing. Unlike conventional earbuds, the protective surface covering the speaker diaphragm is integrated within the housing, saving space. Ultra-small with a stylish rounded design, the charging case fits comfortably in your hand or pockets for life on the go.

We do have some good information on how to change the fitting supporters and how to wear the headset in your ears here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l900/articles/00275647

LinkBuds also supports Google’s helpful new Fast Pair feature. You can easily locate where you left your headphones by ringing them or checking their last known location on your smartphone. You’ll even receive a notification when your headphones battery is running low, so you know when to charge them.

Hi HoldenAfart,

While we're delighted you like the incredible audio quality and open-ring design, we regret to know that you're having constant pressure on your ears when putting on our WF-L900 LinkBuds. 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.

• 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.

Hi Prest0w0,
Thanks for your time writing this review. We're glad to hear you like the good sound quality of your Sony LinkBuds. Sound leakage is just normal due to its open-ring design that allows you to stay aware of your surroundings without taking them out. Hear calls, listen to music, play games, and hear other types of online content anytime, all while remaining naturally connected to the ambient sounds around you. It also means other might hear what you are listening to, especially at higher volumes.
