Q: QuestionCan I adjust the volume without using the app or another device to control the volume?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes, initially out of the box I'm not sure, once you get them paired to your phone download the Sony App, from there you can assign what the touch sensers do for you. I have mine set so tapping the left bud turns up the volume, and touching the bud constantly turns down the volume.Answered by MikeE
Q: QuestionDo these earbuds charge wirelessly through the case, or do you have to plug them in?(3 answers)
A: AnswerHi GovernorNight, Thanks for your interest in the Sony LinkBuds S. A rechargeable battery is built into the charging case. If you charge the charging case in advance, it can charge the LinkBuds wirelessly. Unfortunately, the supplied case doesn't support wireless chargers. Charging is supported by using a personal computer with a standard USB port or a commercially available USB AC adaptor capable of supplying an output current of 0.5 A (500 mA) or more. If headphones that support wireless chargers are your priority, then we can recommend you our WF1000XM4. The supplied case of these headphones supports wireless chargers.

Q: QuestionCould these be worn for hearing protection?(3 answers)
A: AnswerFor a concert or football game, sure. For the gun range or mowing the lawn, not so much. I have tried many ANC while mowing and it tends to eventually blow the speaker trying to compensate.Answered by ClarksvilleTNBlev

Good but not perfect
I really like these headphones. They sound great, they are very small and very comfortable. However, there are a few issues I have that make it impossible for me to give them five stars. First, there's no wireless charging which, at this price point, is baffling to me. Second, I would like to be able to customize the touch controls myself and not have to pick a preset group of controls. The battery life in the buds is really good but the battery in the charging case is average at best. The app is fine but there seems to be a lot of unnecessary clutter and it can be a little difficult to navigate. Overall, I'd say that these are a pretty solid set of buds, but not for the $200 price range

Great IEMs, would recommend
Great headphones, comparing to the xm4s, very similar sound quality but that's where the similarities end, these are VERY comfortable and fit super well, along with being super light whenever I go for a run or go to the gym, these stay in and I never have to push them to make sure they sit right, noise cancelling is amazing as well. Another pro is the price difference from something like the xm4s. I also really like the case and has an above average battery life. They're also fairly small and don't go too far out of my ear so they aren't super uncomfortable if I'm laying down on my side listening to music. Only cons I can think of is that the case doesn't have wireless charging, which is fine since I only need to charge it maybe once a week. Although I don't prefer spending $200 on headphones, getting these on sale would be amazing.

You should get more for the price point.
Great set of earbuds. I have really small ears so it's hard for me to find buds that actually fit, these do. These are extremely light buds and have great sound. Noise cancellation is top-notch once again from Sony. Accompanying software UI could be a little bit better. For the price point though, I think you should have a wireless charging case; these don't. I also think that you should be able to connect to multiple devices. Connectivity can sometimes be lacking especially if you're in a high populated area I've noticed the connection isn't as stable. Other than that, sound quality and comfort are a+.
