They look cool
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked the design, and they are one of the few ear buds that fit me personally. However, with the design, there's no room for comfort, unfortunately, so I returned mine.

Posted .Hi KamikazeCorpse,
Thank you for writing this review. While we are glad that you like the design and how the Sony LinkBuds fits you, we're sorry to hear that it was returned due to discomforts while wearing the unit. This may be resolved by wearing the headset properly and changing the fitting supporters to another size to comfortably and snugly fit your left and right ears. We appreciate you and hope that you will shop Sony again in the future. Thanks again for shopping Sony. - Kris

Won't charge at all anymore
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to disabled the touch controls, they were way too sensitive and would active if I was just talking or moving my head. It stopped charging at all just over a year after getting it, so just outside the warranty period.

Ugh! Perfect until they fall out...
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These just don't stay in my ears. If I'm still / sitting at the computer and not talking, they're great! If i move, talk or smile, they fall out. I tried all of the silicone fit things, adjusted readjusted, tried again and again. Nothing worked. I love how light they are, they don't interfere with wearing glasses or facemasks, but I have to return. Can't afford to buy new ones every time they fall out.

Posted .Hi DMarie,
While we're happy that you like the small, lightweight design, we regret to hear the LinkBuds did not fit you well causing them to fall out. This is definitely not the customer experience we want you to have. We appreciate your effort on trying all the fitting supporters that came with the unit. If the headset is not worn properly in your ears, you may not obtain the correct sound qualities or call performance. The LinkBuds may also 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.
• Select a different size fitting supporter and align the protruding part of the LinkBud with the cutout on the fitting supporter. Make sure to insert the fitting supporter completely. (The size of the left and right fitting supporters may be different)
• 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.
We regret to hear that you're considering to return the unit. We want to make sure you’re taken care of.
If there is something that we can help you with, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Meh!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Weak sounds, I was expecting better for the price that they are, honestly not impressed. The sound is completely hollow and I get that it’s an open ear bud. But I felt more muffled when wearing them. Just go for the bone condensing headphones.

Posted .Hi Heartless,
We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the performance of the headphones. The tap detection function, Bluetooth pairing, or sound quality can be affected if you don't wear the LinkBuds properly or the ear fitting supporters are not correct for your ears. They may also fall out or feel uncomfortable during use.
Medium-sized (M) ear fitting supporters are attached to the LinkBuds at the time of the purchase. If they are too big or too small, select a different fitting supporter to help the LinkBuds fit better and feel more comfortable. We recommend starting with the larger sizes and working your way down to the smaller sizes until you find the best fit.
Note: The best fitting supporter may be different for each ear.
Please refer to this link for steps on how to wear the headphones properly:

With the WF-L900 LinkBuds, you are always connected with your everyday life. Comfortably wear them around the clock as you hear sounds around you transparently, feeling nothing on your ear, while you remain in touch with people and places, without ever having to pause your personal soundtrack. LinkBuds bridge your daily life and the entertainment you love, wherever you go, whatever you do.
Thank you so much for the perfect star review and for choosing Sony!

Personal opinion
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far out of the numerous earbuds I've tried these have been the best for me the only thing for me is that after wearing them for an extended period of time my ear does start to become irritated by the stabilizer but other than that I've had no issues with them

Posted .Hi JnF1986, We are glad you are enjoying the all-new Sony LinkBuds. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue.
Note: Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while.

Do not buy these!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They do not stay in my ear good enough. The left earphone doesn't work anymore. The hard plastic that has audio piece is painful overtime to have in my ear. You can't clean out the ear wax build up unless you break open the cap and kinda stick it together. Interesting design but there's no comfort and doesn't stay in the ear to well.
