I was really excited about this product and, honestly, really enjoy the fit and sound quality. Unfortunately, that's only for when it works. A little more than a year in and the right earbud refuses to hold a charge for more than 5 minutes. I can't recommend this product as it failed right after the warranty period, rendering my purchase moot.

I had been waiting for these to go on sale before purchasing and I'm glad I did. They are a unique concept for sure. The fit is strange - but once you get the small rubber piece right, they stay in place. The fact that they allow sound to flow through is really nice. Personally I find that I have to wear both ear buds & not one at a time as much as I'd prefer, but that could be related to the various mobile android devices we have. I would definitely recommend them and am not disappointed - just glad I waited for the sale price instead of pouncing on them at first release.

Compared to similarly price earbuds, these don't sound have good, have less bass, and have a cheaper feeling case, so it sounds like nobody should get these. HOWEVER, if what you need is some background music you can wear nearly ANYWHERE(including inside, looking at you Bose Frames) these are GREAT for that! They don't stick out so people don't seem to notice it(granted people wear earbuds everywhere anyways) and you can hear everything nearby clearly. Biggest gripe is Sony's app, it tries to add too many features but they can be turned off.

Hi Austin,
While we're glad that you appreciate the unique open-ring design, we regret to hear if you find the LinkBuds sound quality subpar and you didn't like the case. We’d love to help you troubleshoot your problem to make sure your LinkBuds is great. LinkBuds bridge your daily life and the entertainment you love, wherever you go, whatever you do. The case is small, perfectly formed. An ultra-small, stylish, rounded charging case design allows the charging case to fit comfortably in your hand and your pocket.
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. If any of this is the case, check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the Sony Headphones Connect App. You can use the headphones without the app, however, to get the most out of your WFL900 LinkBuds, the Sony Headphones Connect app allows you to change the function of the left and right units of the headset, customize surround effect, equalizer function, and more. For more details, refer to this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000447718.html

Sound quality is well rounded but don’t expect the same highs and lows of the 1000XM3. Having the ability to hear natural ambient noise around you makes them great for use in the office and in public in case you want to be aware of happenings around you. Microphone quality is a big improvement over previous Sony earbuds as well. The fit of the earbuds may take some getting use to but once you find the right size ear piece they will be more comfortable than any in-ear buds in my experience.

The unique design, sound quality, and features make this a very interesting product. I like the open-ear feature where you can listen to what you're playing and your surroundings. And the feature that stops what your listening to when you talk works great. Very good set of earphones if you don't mind not having noise-cancellation.

Hi Mallavaughn, While we're glad that you like the sound quality, we're sorry to hear that the LinkBuds doesn't fit well, randomly skipped or stopped playing and had to be returned. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have with our products. Sony values the opinions of customers and is always striving to provide the best experience possible.
We do have troubleshooting steps that can fix the problems you've mentioned, such as updating the software (version 4.0.1), wearing the LinkBuds properly to get the perfect fit, and resetting/initializing the unit. It is unfortunate that we can no longer try those steps. For future reference, here's the link on how to troubleshoot the issue. https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/index.html
We are sorry for the inconvenience and we hope you'll consider Sony in your future purchase.

This is a new compact design different than other in ear type earphones. Instead of using a digital external sound amplifier, this actually make you hear the external sound through a hole in the unit.
It has excellent fit to the ear, good sound quality, clear communication from both side of the user on call.
The negative side that I have found and decide to return the unit was:
First - It activates the music just by clicking my jaws accidentally. Also hangs up the phone with sudden jaw movements.
Second - It does not have noice canceling options.
Overall is a good device but is too sensitive to operate.

Hi JayC, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your the Sony Linkbuds.

I liked the open-back design that allow me to be aware of the surroundings while enjoying music. I used these earbuds when walking outdoors, in the office when colleagues are around, at home when talking to families. This could have been a solution for dealing with wind noise - let the wind sound naturally instead of being distorted by incomplete noise cancellation.
I give these earbuds 2 stars because they only lasted a little longer than warranty. Battery dead after an update and won't charge. Numerous complaints about this issue have been raised, even flagship Sony earbuds won't last. These are my first pair of Sony earbuds. It feels like a representative of Sony quality.

I have been using these for a few weeks, and this a great first revision or proof of concept. The more I use them the easier it is to wear them, they sound great depending on how you put them on but people should go online and watch some review because these are not for everyone. Not having to touch the bud themselves for control is awesome but they dont give you much control of the touch features other than the preset (LET ME CHOOSE FULLY WHAT TOUCH CONTROLS DO) I would love to be able to play pause, skip tracks and easily control volume without having to pull my phone app.

On day one I got around 3 hours of playback time. My workflow doesn't allow for a 10 to 15-minute re-energize break every to 3 hours (plus more chances for me to lose them). These may not be right for me. I'll turn off all the advance settings tomorrow and see if they last longer, but spending $150+ on headphones that require all the neat stuff turned off to last 5 or 6 hours makes cheap/disposable BT or wired phones look like a better option.
However, for hikers/bikers/walkers or office workers, I can see these making a whole bunch of sense.

Hi Mike,
We're sorry to know if the available operating time is short or the battery power does not last long. Check the Available operating time in your model's Help Guide for operating times of the headphones on a fully-charged battery. Ref: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000447703.html
If you set the following functions, the available operating time of the battery becomes short.
• Equalizer • DSEE • Speak-to-Chat • Function to launch the voice assist function by your voice • Service Link • Sound quality mode during Bluetooth playback: Priority on sound quality
Note: Be sure to store the headphones in the charging case after use. If the headphones are placed in a pocket or bag, they may recognize that they are being worn and turn on by mistake.
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. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l900/downloads

Great except for the battery life. Comfortable even with my tragus ear piercings i love how i can keep them in and still hear whats going in around me. The battery life isnt long enough. You get 3 charges out of the case before you need to recharge the case, but the ear buds only last about 1.5hrs of listening time before needing a new charge. But these are the only ear buds that are comfortable with my piercings and don’t fall out.

Hi Jess,
Thank you for telling us about your experience with your Sony LinkBuds. While we're glad you like most of the functions, especially the open-ring design, fit and comfort, we regret to hear you feel the battery power does not last long. Allow us to help you and turn your experience around. The available operating times of the headset with the battery fully charged are as follows:
Bluetooth connection Music playback time (AAC): Max. 5.5 hours Music playback time (SBC): Max. 5 hours
If you set the following functions, the available operating time of the battery becomes shorter than the ones described above. • DSEE™ • Equalizer • Speak-to-Chat • Function to launch the voice assist function by your voice • Service Link • Adaptive Volume Control
For available operating time of the unit, depending on the settings for the headset functions and usage conditions, the speed of energy consumption for the rechargeable battery may vary between the left and right units. However, this is not a malfunction. For your reference, you may check this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000765297.html

Theyre a little tricky to get properly placed at first, but after a little time it gets easier. I normally use bone conduction while working so as to not have my ears blocked, but decided to give these a try. While the sound of any open ear device is never going to match that of earbuds or headphones that block the ears, the sound of these is actually pretty good while still allowing me to hear what's around me.

Call quality was good, and audio was fairly good for this style of ear bud. Some reviewers stated they had problems keeping this in their ear, but I didn't have that problem. They seemed to stay in place pretty well.
The only reason I returned these is because of issues with the music on my Garmin watch. It played music fine until I connected to GPS. Then the audio was very choppy and cut out constantly. Without GPS, it worked fine. Other bluetooth devices did not have this problem, so I believe it's a compatibility issue.

I really like the design since I can’t use the more mainstream earplug style earbuds and was genuinely pleased at how well they stay in your ear. The open concept works well when you don’t exactly want to block out *all* of the background noise around you. I do however wish there was a bit more deep bass. I’m not sure if it’s just my earbuds or if it’s something I have to tweak in the app, but when I raise the volume to the highest level it sounds lower?? but other than that I’m really enjoying these so far

The only reason I’m doing a four star and not a five is because I returned them due to having smaller than normal ears lol I love the concept I just have oddly shaped ears so they made my ears sore. Otherwise I liked them for what I need them for. They aren’t good for music but for phone calls and videos they are nice. Battery life isn’t long and you can’t track these if lost

Gimmick? The gimmick with these earbuds is simple. It lets you hear audio while being able to hear your surroundings. Well that's what they were aiming for. There were times where I had to lower the volume to hear my sister who was right next to me while we were walking. In reality they're not bad but they're not good either.

Hi HeartlesUndrdog,
Thanks for sharing your honest review with your Sony LinkBuds. We sorry to hear if the LinkBuds did not fit you well causing them to fall out. 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. 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. • 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.
LinkBuds keep you connected and in control of your everyday music by combining superior fit, open-ear styling with high call and sound quality. Should you need further assistance, you may send us an email at [email protected] with the following details:
