May be good just not for me.

Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A 3 because it offers a lot of options, but it’s not easy to keep in your ears, and they turn off and on without prompting and the volume would not go as high as I needed them too. Makes it inconvenient.

Nice concept but missing basic function
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the size and feel of these buds. The sound is good enough for what I would mainly use them for which is taking calls with light music listening. Unfortunately a big issue for me was they didn't notify me when I received calls???? My phone is on silent 100% of the time and so I heavily rely on my ear pieces to notify me when I receive a call and or message. Now I know since I have an Iphone that the only devices that can advise me of messages will be either Beats or Airpod devices which I am fine with. But to not even hear a ring tone, not even a generic ring tone will not due and makes the LinkBuds unusable for me. I don't have any problems with Samsungs, Bose, most Soundcores, or JayBirds. All of them give me a ring tone and most of them give me the ring tone I have for certain callers. I really do like how these feel and the open back concept as they feel like I don't have them in my ears. Very nice concept.

Posted .Hi Tony,
Thanks for taking the time to review your new Sony LinkBuds. While we're glad you like the audio quality and comfortable open-ring design of these earbuds, we are really sorry you are encountering issues receiving calls on your LinkBuds. This is definitely not the experience we want you to have. If no ring tone is heard via the headset, the headset may not be connected with the smartphone or mobile phone over HFP (Hands-free Profile) or HSP (Headset Profile). Please check the connection status on the smartphone or mobile phone. You may also try using different smartphones to isolate the problem.
When receiving a call by operating smartphones or mobile phones, some smartphones or mobile phones receive a call with the phone instead of the headset. With an HFP connection, switch the call to the headset by tapping the left or right unit of the headset or in the area near your ear 3 times quickly (with an interval of about 0.2 seconds) or by using your smartphone or mobile phone.
If the issue persists, please follow the steps provided on this link:

If your ears are normal they should be great if you need a more natural transparency. However I can't recommend them personally as they don't fit my ears

Posted .Hi BBBY,
Thank you for the review. If the headset is out of your ears, you feel uncomfortable when wearing the headset or your ears hurt.
M-sized fitting supporters come attached to the left and right units of the headset at the time of purchase. When the headset is worn following the procedures described above and you feel the size of the fitting supporters does not fit your ears, change the fitting supporters to another size to comfortably and snugly fit your left and right ears.
Watch the video to find out how to change the fitting supporters and how to wear the headset in your ears.

Doesn't connect to PC!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.How can a $179 ear bid not connect to a pc? The app sony has for phones are not on Microsoft store for pc. Cant find it anywhere! I also have seen some people saying there is a sony app for pc that cost like $5 and doesnt work with the majority of sony headphones or earbuds. I mean really sony? You are that greedy that you can make your Bluetooth accessible for all Bluetooth devices?!?!?! Absolutely disgusting and sad that an expensive earbud with BLUETOOTH cant connect to windows 11 on my laptop because sony says so! Like what about college students that want a perfect earbud like this where they can listen to music or play games but still hear their surroundings and people if they need to? You would have hit it out of the park, but unfortunately you dropped the ball! Maybe you can put out an update to allow your customers to connect to their pc for FREE and maybe DO THE RIGHT THING BY YOU CUSTOMERS!

Best Earbuds Ever
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not a fan of normal earbuds. Having something stick into your ear canal is so uncomfortable I had written off ever moving on from my normal noise cancelling Sony 1000XM3s. Then I saw these passive earbuds and I decided to give them a chance. They are amazingly comfortable and with the summer coming I am very happy to finally have earbuds to wear during heat waves instead of the aforementioned XM3s. Not only are they comfortable but features like automatically pausing when you speak and being able to tap your face to control them just sweeten the pot. A minor gripe is that I wish the bluetooth signal range was more stable. If your phone is in your pocket though you should be fine in all situations. I couldn't recommend these linkbuds with anymore vigor. I was very skeptical, but they are simply incredible.

Good sound but not a great fit for me.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound pretty good and able to hear the surroundings well. The sound is fed directly to the ear and has minimal outside exposure.

Posted .Hi Andrew,
While we're happy you are enjoying the good sound and most of the features, we regret to know that you're having issues with the unit particularly with the fit of the unit. 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.
• As a suggestion, to reduce discomfort while wearing the headset, try to change the fitting supporters to another size that fits your ears better and feel more comfortable. The size of the left and right fitting supporters may be different.
We recommend starting with the larger sizes and working your way down to the smaller sizes until you find the best fit.
• Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears.
We do have an instructional video for detailed instructions on how to properly fit and wear LinkBuds Truly Wireless Earbuds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT-QIP2FeMM
It's unfortunate that the unit had to be returned. We hope that you will shop Sony again in the future.
Thanks again for sharing your feedback.
Regards,
Jess

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to like this product. It would not stay in my ears, I tried all the different ear tips. I also think the area that the opening is at, I wish there was a softer material around it, because this was the area that made my ears sore. The idea is great but, needs some improvement. Not worth $179.00 at all.

A very unique piece.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has good fit in the ear. Very comfortable to wear long hours. The empty circle helps to hear ambiance noise including talking, which is the main reason I believe. However, the tapping feature is so sensitive it activates sometimes with a Jaw movement. That is the only down side I have found.

Fit great!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Surprised how good they sound and fit! I have really strangely shaped ears, so finding buds that fit well is already a challenge with in ears then you adding on ear buds and you double the difficulty. I could never use AirPods, even the pros, pixel buds fit okay, but these, these fit almost as good as my custom one (comfort wise obviously not seal). They do take a little fiddling to get just right, but they almost disappear when you do. Mileage will vary, I’ve got strange ear, maybe normal ears will have issues, but if you’ve been on the fence, try them! They sound great too better than my pixel pros!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This new design that introduced is actually remarkable. To be able to still hear everything around you and still have good sound quality. I like wearing these at work bc I can enjoy music and if some calls me and needs my assistance I can still hear them. Now the only thing is that they aren't noise cancelling. Which in some environments I wish it was sometimes but it isn't a deal breaker. The fitting of the wireless buds is a good fit; they are actually the only wireless buds that don't fall out of my ears when I'm running around or working out.

Good little 'always on' ear buds.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are quite nice. They sound good, they are open so you don't get sound isolation and they aren't none conduction so you do notice the sound coming from earphones instead of sounding like a part of the environment. They are fairly comfortable, you do have to play with sizing the wings, and your ears might not be the same size on each side. You can use either bud individually, I think this came in an update that was available immediately on pairing with my phone. You will need to get the Sony headphone app. The app does have some nice features, including a 5 bands EQ and speak-to-chat which allows you to pause your music when you start speaking. I would recommend leaving this off if you like to sing to your music though. TL;DR: these are good, though not perfect. These are most useful if you want to wear something that doesn't block your surroundings.
