An improvement over the prior version

Amazing sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These sound amazing. They are pretty comfortable. I feel like I'm sort of in-between sizes on the ear tips, but the app helps you choose the appropriate size and lets you know if they are in air-tight. Connection is easy and stable and the different noice cancellation features are nice. They are worth the money.

Serious Noise cutting Buds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hello is anybody in here? Noise-canceling supreme. These are a premium product for cutting noise. I am a bit disappointed with the sound quality. Even with the settings in the Sony software, they could have better spatial sounding. Don't get me wrong they hit hard but I expect better from Sony Sound. It is there in the LinkBuds S so what happened here? Also, I feel the LinkBuds S are better fitting. You have to play with the ear tips to get a good comfortable fit. Sometimes I feel like they will fall out but that has not happened. No ear fatigue either.
