hear the world and love your music!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love these and have been daily driving them at work, gym, and just walking around outside. Only downside is they do not fit everyone, but it worked well with me. I ended up blowing out the right speaker unfortunately, but I still think these are money well spent!!!!!

Hurts my ears but are so good
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked these headphones as I would wear them at work for 12-15 hour shifts. They are perfect for being able to listen to music while also wanting to hear my environment. But sadly, they hurt my ears. I thought my ears could get used to them but nope. if they didn’t hurt my ears, I would have for sure kept them and loved them. But them hurting my ears is what made me return them.

Posted .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.
For reasons why your ears may hurt when putting on or wearing headphones, you may also find this article helpful: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l900/articles/00015243
We are sorry to hear that the unit had to be returned. We hope that you will shop Sony again in the future.
Thank you for your feedback.
Regards,
Jess

Amazing earbuds, mini heart attacks
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these, I own the wrx1000 and the wf1000's, these are almost the perfect in-between. I can still interact with the world but have my own music or podcast going. Perfect for the office or even at home. My only gripe is that the magnet isn't as strong as I would like, my first day I lost them twice; once in the parking lot and again that night in our yard. Lucky to find them, but I'd recommend these all day.

Trash product
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible garbage product. Worst pair of headphones I've ever owned. Left one doesn't charge, right one doesn't work as a headphone. Best buy refused to accept a return, apparently $180 headphones should be disposable trash. Horrible trash product from Sony, sold by garbage retailer best buy. If I wanted garbage, nonworking headphones, I would have bought the $15 ones from the gas station. Oh wait, my 5 year old gas station Bluetooth headphones work great. Zero quality control from Sony, and zero product support from Best buy.

Posted .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.
You may refer to this link with troubleshooting steps if noise is heard on the LinkBuds:

Super for work and phone calls!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are fantastic for hands-free work environment. The microphones with the phone are super clear. They provide an excellent sound, but not for a musical enthusiast. The xm4's would be your choice. But these are an excellent for work environment because you can still hear the ambient noise around you while you used them.

||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great when they worked. After about 1.5 years of use (warranty is only 1 year) the right earphone had a rattling noise. It sounded like something broke in them. The repair center Sony uses is unable to get parts to fix this model so you're stuck.
