    These headphones sound terrible. I didn’t expect them to have much bass since they are a strange design but they had NO bass and overdrove very easily. I thought maybe they would be good for something like movies but NOPE. They just don’t sound good at all. Get something else like the Anker Soundcore pros for the same or less money

      Hello JeffA,

      Thanks for the feedback and we're sorry to hear if you're not satisfied with the bass of the headphones. You have to consider the source that you're playing when it comes to bass sound. We recommend using the Sony Headphones Connect app to adjust the Equalizer/CLEAR BASS setting of the headphones. For details on the “Sony Headphones Connect” app, refer to the following link.

      Hi Rendi,

      We're so sorry to hear if an earache occurs when putting on our WF-L900 LinkBuds and they did not fit you well causing them to fall out. This is definitely not the customer experience we want you to have. 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.

      • 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.
      • 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.
      • If you wear the headset for a long time, your ears may start hurting. Use the headset while taking breaks periodically.
      Please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l900/articles/00275647

      Hi Calldropped,

      Thank you for purchasing the Sony LinkBuds. It's good to know you like the unique open-ring design of the unit. Allow us to help you and turn your experience around. 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.

      For detailed instructions on how to replace ear fitting supporters and wear LinkBuds Truly Wireless Earbuds, please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l900/articles/00275647

    Battery Degradation

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These were great for about a year. Sound quality is good and I love that I can easily carry on a conversation while music is playing. But, after a year battery life started to degrade. Battery life has gotten so bad that they are unusable after less than 2 years. Batteries won't charge to full even after being plugged in for several hours. The left bud goes from about 80% charge to empty in under 30 minutes. The batteries discharge to empty while just sitting in the case overnight. I would have and did eagerly recommend these to others for the first few months I had them, but I can't do that anymore for a product that dies after less than 2 years.

    I love these headphones. I do not recommend these as your one and only pair of headphones but as a secondary to maybe the m4s or the airpod pros. The reviews posted fell into the same trap I did there i was shoving the smaller end into my ear canal. Very very uncomfy if you do that. Make it to where the marble part is touching the top left of your ear and they feel great.

      Hi Mikey,

      While we're glad you like the open-ring design, we're sorry you've been running into difficulty. We'd love to troubleshoot this and make this a better experience for you. The Sony LinkBuds support the use of one unit by itself. In this case, only the unit that has been removed from the charging case will turn on. Even if you are using only one unit of the headset, you can play music with the unit you are wearing. However, when Service Link is turned on with the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app, use the right unit of the headset. You cannot use only the left unit of the headset.

      Check that the touch sensor on the earbud you want to use by itself is set up to support the use of one earbud at a time. For more details, visit this helpful link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l900/articles/00229345

      We also recommended updating the firmware of the headphones (via the Sony Headphones Connect app) for optimum performance. If the headset does not operate correctly or wide area tap works unintentionally, follow these steps to troubleshoot this issue: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000467224.html

      Hi Chan,

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the WF-L900 LinkBuds. We are really sorry if they didn't fit you well. This is certainly not the experience we wanted you to have with our premium headphones. The WF-L900 LinkBuds comes with different sizes of fitting supporter to suit different ear shapes. For optimum fit, comfort, and to keep the LinkBuds from falling out, we always recommend following the steps on these links:
      Wearing the headset - https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000445573.html
      Instructional video - https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l900/articles/00275798

      Note: M-sized fitting supporters come attached to the left and right units of the headset at the time of purchase. 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.

      You may also find the following article helpful:
