Cool but not comfortable
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't do much music but I listen to podcasts at work. They sound good and the idea is awesome. Many people claim they are comfortable. I don't think they are. I'm sure it's me but I swapped all the loops and played around with how they sit. They get unpleasant after an hour, painful even. Better than the Samsung beans I'm sure but I plan to return these for Shockz.

Posted .Hi Stavey,
Thank you for your review. While we are thrilled that you are satisfied with the exceptional sound quality and open-ring design of our WF-L900 LinkBuds, we are really sorry if they didn't fit you well. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have.

The WF-L900 LinkBuds combine a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit. They also come 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 articles:

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.

Worth it - in specific use cases.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, the item was easy to pair with my Android phone. Fit, for my ears, is the most comfortable in-ear set of headphones I've personally ever worn. I used the "medium" ear-wing that comes on it, and that worked for me, but my wife needed the XS wings for a comfortable fit, so your mileage may vary. Long story, short - If you don't need, or don't want any level of isolation from outside noises and you don't mind your headphones lacking bass response, these are the headphones for you! Super light, decent battery, quick-charge, and (for me) a comfortable fit. I would consider these "expensive" at this price point for what you are getting, and if your priority is music first, then there are many other excellent ear-bud options in this range that will be a better choice... both in volume and bass response. However, if you want something unobtrusive for listening to audio while having no real impact on your ability to hear what's around you (without the volume dimed), with good quality mics for Zoom or Telephone calls, then these are in a class all their own. For use around the office, these have been great. I recommend these, as long as music audio quality and isolation are NOT your primary reason you're looking for in-ears. I really like mine, and they sound good... as long as I temper my expectations and embrace them for what they are.

Posted .Hi Chad,
While we're delighted you like the incredible audio quality, 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.
Please make sure to follow the guide from this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l900/articles/00275647

Posted .Hi Axel,
Thank you for the feedback. 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. You may find this link helpful on how to properly wear the headphones.

Posted .Hi Whitt,
While we're glad you like the amazing sound quality, we're sorry to hear if they did not fit you well causing them to fall out. 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.

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.

Okay, but not great yet... Hopefully sony listens
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall these are intresting. Different shape gets some getting used to. The hold feels VERY light like its going to fall out your ear but have yet to have it fall out. Overall these do not have very great sound. The ability to hear all around you though is 100% at about 25% volume you can hear everything around you and have conversations without stopping music and it all is fairly good. The peice that sits inside your ear canel is plastic and has left my ears a bit sore. Super unfortunate as they are very light and the grab peice that keeps it in your ear is soft. Not sure why they didnt upgrade this with a slightly softer rubber outside. Overall I wouldnt recommend these in their current state. They solve a very particular purpose and if they didnt hurt your ear canel they would of got a 4. If they would of sounded better they would of got a 5.

Not worth the money.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These would be incredible if they didn't have 2 big flaws. 1. This is my second pair, my first pair would barely give me 4 hours use and that's with all the extras turned off and the volume low. One bud was always draining about 20-25% faster. Current pair sometimes gives me 4.5 hours but buds are between 5-10% difference in discharge. 2. If I don't connect and click the bud in place in the case/charger, one or both buds won't charge. I didn't have this issue with the first pair I had. So disappointing when you're wanting to listen to music and they're DEAD. Wonderful functions and great for work or when you need to hear your surroundings. Once this pair quits I will not buy this product again. Just such an irritating pair of wireless earbuds. I jave two pair of Jabra and they're amazing! They just don't offer as good of a hear through as the budlinks. For the price I paid I expected to get what was advertised. They're definitely not worth what was paid.

Posted .Hi Midnightskunk,
Thanks for reaching out to us with your concerns. While we're glad you like most of the functions, especially the open-ring design, we regret that you are having charging issues with your LinkBuds and you feel the battery power does not last long. This is definitely not the experience we'd like to hear from you. Allow us to help you and turn your experience around.
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.
Ref: https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/linkbuds/v1/en/contents/TP1000449917.html
If foreign substances such as dust, dirt, sweat, or moisture is left on the charging port, wipe it off immediately and let it dry at room temperature. Otherwise, the charging function may be affected or not work at all. Be sure to regularly clean the contact points of the charging case and earbuds using a dry soft cloth or cotton swab, and then store the earbuds in the charging case when not in use.
We do have good information on how to care for the headphones here: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/wireless-headphones-bluetooth-headphones/wf-l900/articles/00249895

Has potential but very uncomfortable for me.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really excited for this one. I can't wear regular headphones and earphones because of how my tmj has progressed. At first this seemed comfortable, but within 5 minutes it felt like I had a ball of sandpaper in my ears. I'm really disappointed because when it's comfortable and in proper position it's really cool, but the hard material just doesn't work for me. Also the part where the sound comes from gets blocked and it makes my ears feel like there's massive pressure building. I actually got a slight migraine from having I on past comfort. Also the case feels like a 5 dollar toy. I think it has good potential because the open ear aspect is really cool and when the one part of my ear wasn't blocking the audio it was really cool. It felt like audio was floating above my ear and I really enjoyed that, I'm also a person who when alone doesn't like to wear noise canceling things, so this was really cool. It's just unfortunate that for the 190$ I paid for it, that it doesn't come with a silicone cover or something to make it more comfortable.

Great earbuds that let you hear what's going on.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these earbuds! The fit took a tiny bit getting used to, but after a few uses, they feel comfortable and work great! I got them because my girlfriend and I both work from home. I wear my buds all day long while I work, and usually listening to podcasts. My girlfriend was getting annoying that she could never get my attention with my other sport earbuds in. These work great to be able to hear what you are playing clearly, but also hear what is going on in the room and I'm not surprised when someone comes up behind me. They also work great riding my bike and still be able to be aware of what is around me at the same time. They aren't meant to be the top of sound performance, but they exceeded my exectations. I get about 5-6 hours of battery life out of them which is more than enough for me, and they charge really fast as well.

Good for meetings, cycling and running
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these to be able to hear around my house and have meetings without having to take my headphones off at my job all the time. I was pleasantly surprised that I am able to go running and cycling in them without issue. A lot of reviews indicated this would be an issue - but for me it was not. The silicon interchangeable pieces do a far better job than you would think securing it, just make sure you actually get them in your ear the right way (I suspect many people with issues are not placing them properly). Sound is great for what they are. Battery life is good, better than okay but lower than outstanding. I have a lot of issues with my ear and pressure changes, these cause none which is fantastic. Overall highly recommend.
