Hi LedzairS,

We regret to hear if you find the LinkBuds sound quality poor and it hasn't performed to your standards. Allow us to help you and turn your experience around. 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. 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.
• 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.
• If you wear the headset for a long time, your ears may start hurting. Use the headset while taking breaks periodically.

Hi IvanB, We're sorry to hear that you hurt your ears using the WF-L900 LinkBuds. We apologize for the inconvenience. LinkBuds combine a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit. We’ve designed LinkBuds utilizing extensive ear shape data collated since introducing the world’s first in-ear headphones in 1982. 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.

Hi Southevee,

Thank you for your feedback on the Sony LinkBuds. We regret to hear you are having an issue with the unit changing the music randomly and disconnecting the phone calls by accident. Turning off the "wearing detection" and " automatic audio detection" using the Sony Headphones Connect app are some of the troubleshooting steps we recommend on fixing this issue.

The built-in sensors detect when the headset is inserted in or removed from your ears, enabling the headset to pause or resume music playback, as well as control the detection of tap operations and voice guidance. Please follow this link for more details:

https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000445573.html

We also recommended updating the firmware of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. The software update improves the general performance of the unit and includes key features, applications, and bug fixes.

Should you need further assistance, please let us know so we can turn your experience around. You may send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:
