    These Earbuds do exactly what they are intended to do. Play music while also hearing your environment. The Sony App works great with these to adjust the sound to your preference.

    Sony's unique approach with these earbuds was thoughtful yet disappointing in the end. Sound quality was okay in standstill environments but if I did any sort of activity IE walking, running cycling I would have to turn the volume all the way up just to barely hear what I was listening to in my earbuds. On top of that the charger box stopped working 6 weeks after I bought them. so I had to go get another pair but I decided to upgrade to the next step up. I would say it was almost kismet that the charger died because I did not want to have to deal with only listening to my earbuds in a standstill environment. It's not really why I bought them.

      Hello Sirlotsalos,

      Thank you for your review, and we are really sorry for your disappointment. It is unfortunate that you've encountered an issue with your LinkBuds and that it had to be returned and exchanged for a different unit. This definitely not the experience we wanted you to have. For volume that adjust automatically according to ambient sounds, this can be fixed by turning off the Adaptive Volume Control feature of these LinkBuds from the Sony | Headphones Connect app. ref: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/hpc/v1/en/contents/TP1000669460.html?search=adaptive%20volume%20control

      And for the charging issue, some of these problems can be fixed by following the troubleshooting steps on this article:
      The headphones do not charge (LinkBuds) - https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l900/articles/00276311

      We truly appreciate you and your input, and we are hoping that you will consider Sony again in your future purchase.

      Sincerely,

      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.

      Our all-new Sony LinkBuds which feature a comfortable open-ring design that naturally blends your online and offline worlds. The LinkBuds provide crystal clear calls with our Precise Voice Pickup technology. Sony’s V1 Processor provides a well-balanced and high-quality sound for an authentic listening experience.

    I am not at all satisfied with the product. There is no problem in the sound clarity. I compromised on the ear comfort when the buds were in but later on I could not just go with one bud in the ear. There was a software error I reset the buds bud to no avail. With the left bud i could use ot fir @30 minutes and later the connectivity with the instrument would break. No consistency. This is my second poor experience with Sony buds. I returned them and ordered my old brand again
