Customer Reviews for Sony - LinkBuds S Truly Wireless Noise Canceling Earbud Headphones (Earth - Blue

These things sound incredible overall. Battery life is fair considering the quality. They're some of the lightest buds I own and fit comfortably. I did swap out the tips for memory foam ones because silicone makes my canal irritable, but that's a personal thing that doesn't take away from the quality of the product themselves. Highly recommend these to others
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought these several days ago, here are my original thoughts, very good connection, pairs fast and easy. They also are very pocketable with good battery life. They lasted me 4 days without charging. The ambient sound and Noise canceling features work great. The only issue i have is with the touch controls. You can set either side to be whatever set of controls you want. (They have several options from sound mode to playback controls) the issue is that when using only one earbud you cannot change the controls for the bud. So for example if I use only the left earbud (which I use for changing noise canceling when using both) I cannot change the volume without using my phone. Not only this but the touch controls don’t even get used because why would I use noise canceling in one ear? Aside from that the only drawback is the missing wireless charging.

Been using these for about a month now and have no issues. I've found that i can wear them for about 7 hours before experiencing any discomfort. They are a great price and have good sound quality. I use them at work(an airport) and the noise cancelling can silence some jet engine noise. The higher the volume the better the cancellation. The LDAC connection to my Sony Xperia 5 iii provides a good listening experience. I've found that by default, they are a bit bass heavy and adjust the mids up a little, amd the highs up a little more offers a very clear and reasonably balanced experience. They are also very small amd low profile while being worn which is a plus. Also no issues with single side use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! I use these LinkBuds so much more than I thought I would. The audio is crystal clear. When I'm watching a movie or listening to music it feels like I'm in surround sound. They are also comfortable to wear. I used them for a 3-hour flight and they were very comfortable. So great fit, awesome sound, and pairs easily with my phone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these Sony Linkbuds S. They are the best ear buds I have ever used. The sound quality is great nice and crisp. It has a noise-cancelling feature that works. I like how if I tap on it the video I am watching pauses.They are very lightweight and comfortable. It comes with a case and charging cord. Also adjustable ear pieces to make sure you have the right fit.
