The best true wireless earphones for everyone
Color: Black
Review Image by James
Review Image by James
The Sony Linkbuds S are a shrunk-down, improved version of the already excellent WF-1000XM4. I wasn't expecting this. Given the "Linkbuds" moniker I was expecting them to prioritize ambient sound features over all else, just like the original Linkbuds, but that simply isn't the case here. Build: the Linkbuds S are impossibly small compared to the WF-1000XM4, Sony's previous noise canceling earphones. They actually resemble the Samsung Galaxy buds 2 in overall size and shape. They also sport a nice large touch sensitive area that no one should have trouble missing. The only gripe I do have is that the outer surface is textured and this can cause some discomfort if it rubs against the crus helix. Case: the case is definitely one of the more pocketable out there. It's about the same size as the Airpods Pro case, but slightly shorter and narrower, albeit a bit thicker. However, it also has a textured surface which can make it a little difficult to slide in and out of pockets. Fit: the Linkbuds S fit very similar to the Galaxy Buds 2 and deeper than the WF-1000XM4. They are a little fiddly to fit. In my case I have to rotate them back and forth to get them to seat correctly. Although Sony instructs users to rotate the buds backwards to get a good fit I actually found this uncomfortable because the buds would rub against my Crus Helix and cause discomfort. Rotating them forward slightly fixed the issue. Once the buds were in place I found the fit to be secure and that, combined with their light weight, meant that it was easy to forget they were there. My one complaint about the fit is that the buds are so small that it's very difficult to insert them without either accidentally hitting the touch area or rubbing a finger against the noise canceling microphone, resulting in some static noise. Noise canceling: the noise canceling on the Linkbuds S is fantastic. Although the Linkbuds S are advertised as being open I actually found them to be more isolating than the WF-1000XM4s without noise canceling on. With noise canceling on I actually found the Linkbuds S to be slightly superior to the WF-1000XM4 in terms of blocking out background noise and they certainly blow the Galaxy Buds Pro/2 out of the water. I haven't had chance to test the Linkbuds S with very low frequency sounds (e.g. public transport, planes) but for blocking out office and household noise they're the best true wireless earphones I've tried. Sound: I saved the best to last. I was very pleasantly surprised with the sound quality of the Linkbuds S. The WF-1000XM4s were a big disappointment in this regard, with an overly dark presentation for my taste that led to recessed mids and lackluster treble. The Linkbuds S by comparison adopt a Harman-like tuning that presents mids and treble brilliantly with a satisfying bass boost that doesn't dominate the overall sound. The Linkbuds S definitely beat the WF-1000XM4s for overall sound and they're up there with the Galaxy Buds Pro/2, which are the reigning champs. Comparing the Galaxy Buds side by side with the Linkbuds S I honestly can't pick a favorite amongst the three, which I think is a very good thing. Other: in my limited tests the transparency features are great, as with the WF-1000XM4s. The only other thing that I think is worth noting is that the Linkbuds S struggle to maintain LDAC connectivity more than the WF-1000XM4s. This isn't surprising, given the small size, but is worth considering for anyone who wants to use LDAC in challenging environments or on the go. Wrap up: previously if I wanted to recommend a pair of true wireless earphones for someone I would have to include a 'but'. The Airpods Pro have great noise canceling but the sound isn't top tier and they don't play well with Android devices. The Galaxy Buds sound fantastic but the noise canceling isn't great and they don't play well with iOS. The WF-1000XM4s have top tier noise canceling and work well with both iOS and Android devices, but their sound isn't the best. The Linkbuds S on the other hand have top tier noise canceling, work excellent with both iOS and Android, and have excellent sound. These are now my default recommendation to anyone looking for new True Wireless earphones. Alternative picks: If it wasn't for the better Bluetooth connectivity of the WF-1000XM4s and the improved battery life the Linkbuds S would have made the XM4s redundant. Whether the increased price is worth it for those things will be up to the individual. I think there's still a case to be made for getting the cheaper Galaxy buds over the Linkbuds S if noise canceling isn't a priority. However, I think the only reason to pay more for the Airpods Pro would be if you really like the design and/or the enhanced integration with iOS is really important. ... show more

DO NOT BUY THE SONY LINKBUDS S EARBUDS!
Color: Black
BUYERS BEWARE - DO NOT BUY IF YOU VALUE YOUR MONEY!!! The charging life of these earbuds nose dive after about a year and a half of use! Don’t get me wrong, the earbuds sound really good, but the fact that after purchasing two different pairs of these earbuds, BOTH PAIRS had the same battery life / charging issues. After about a year and a half of use, the right earbud holds just enough of a charge to function for a little over an hour and then dies rather abruptly, while the left earbud still has well over half of its charge left. I tried calling Sony tech support, and as I am sure you can guess, though the support person I spoke with was kind and patient, their troubleshooting did nothing to restore the battery life of my earbuds. I was then told to call a third party repair service, which just directed me to a website to submit a repair. The SoundConnect app used to manage the earbud settings and features is clunky to use at the best of times, not to mention updating the firmware for the earbuds is a painfully slow and clunky process as well. If you have an iPhone, be prepared to deal with connectivity issues when taking phone calls - and problems with the app on the iPhone working in sync with the earbuds themselves. Because of the sound and lightweight quality of the earbuds, I wanted to love them. However, given the $200 price tag for obviously poorly constructed electronics, I CANNOT RECOMMEND THESE EARBUDS TO ANYONE, unless you want to just waste $200 of your hard earned money. Take it from someone who has owned two pairs of these earbuds and can confirm, no matter how well you take care of the Sony Linkbuds earbuds, they will stop holding a charge rendering them pretty much useless after about about a year and a half of use, the SoundConnect app is less than good, updating the earbuds firmware is extremely slow and drawn out, connectivity issues when taking a call gets old fast…and now I’m finding my earbuds case looks like it isn’t holding a charge as well. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere!!! UPDATE: The "troubleshooting" the Sony customer service rep walked me through did nothing to help with my Linkbuds issues. As a matter of fact, now they are barely holding a charge...no joke. At least before the troubleshooting I got a little use out of them before the charge would die. The site the Sony customer service rep referred me to that I mentioned in my original review was not set up to take repairs for the Sony Linkbuds S earbuds at all. The information on the repair site basically suggested I find a local electronics repair shop. So, I tried that. Not one business I called worked on the Sony earbuds - and I live in a large, tech-centric city. That was a total bust and waste of my time. Then, through a random online search, I found a link to Sony webpage that directed me to call United Radio Service Inc. for repairs, so I did. The person I spoke with told me that the cost for parts and repair labor made it infeasible to repair the earbuds due to the fact that the cost of the repairs would be more than the purchase cost of the earbuds. Another bust. Finally, I also found out that the earbuds and the USB transceiver are all pre-set with information that allows them to communicate with and from each other. These settings can only be configured at a Service Center with all components present. For this reason, you can't just simply replace one missing part yourself, i.e. a damaged earbud, say with one that you find refurbished online. Bottom line: You can't actually get the earbuds repaired, and you can't replace a defective earbud. No matter what line of nonsense Sony tries to tell you. Once these stop working properly outside the timeframe of the warranty, you are out of luck. ***Again, Don't waste your money or time with these earbuds. Look elsewhere, you'll be glad in the long run that you did!*** ... show more

Multipoint connections make these the best earbuds I've ever used
Color: Black
Love these buds and Sony has really come through with the latest firmware. The earbuds are so comfortable, and the new multipoint connection feature makes them so much better. Switching audio between devices is just brilliant and on demand. You don't have to have the same manufacturer's equipment for it to work like Samsung or Apple multipoint solutions. You can connect any manufacturer's device. There appears to be more tweaks to this update than just multipoint. The mids and bass seem a bit improved using existing EQ settings. I am not seeing any difference in battery usage connecting one vs two multipoint devices. The range of my bluetooth seems improved and I'm keeping connections further away than before the update. LDAC seems to be the biggest drain on battery as before. LDAC does work with multipoint if the source you are currently listening to supports LDAC. I tend to switch to LDAC when listening to music and AAC (big battery saver) for podcasts, videos. Using transparency or noise cancellation vs ANC off seem less battery intensive than before the update. My only beef is that I wish there was a smarter way to designate specific apps to use LDAC vs AAC or other codecs vs having to manually change it every time. I have two pair and have not seen any battery drain or uneven battery usage between the L or R as has been reported. Just one glitch I'm noticing is when I disconnect one pair and connect the other. Previously, it just happened. Now it is quicker when I go to the Headphones app and manually switch to the other set. After the switch, it reconnects just as easily as before and reconnects to multipoint connections quickly. Correction - I can be listening to LDAC on Tidal and pause it, play a video off my laptop and it switches automatically from LDAC to AAC and back to LDAC when I pause the laptop and go back to Tidal on my phone. Awesome! ... show more

Good buds, with one fatal flaw
Color: Black
I've owned maybe a dozen different pairs of ANC ear buds over the past 10-ish years and these are amongst the best, but they have one fatal flaw: the battery. Apparently, this is a known issue where the battery life takes a steep nose dive, after the ear buds are out of warranty. This is truly unfortunate, and if it weren't for this fact, I'd give them 5 stars. My pair lasted just under two years. In comparing these to Bose (which I've owned three different generations of), these don't deliver quite the same quality sound or quite the same quality noise cancellation, however they're a rather close second. The best part is that they don't have the severe connectivity issues that I experienced with all three generations of Bose buds (of which two of the generations I had replaced, so I had a total of five pairs). The Sony buds also fit my ears much better than other brands, which is obviously going to vary for different people. One thing I would have like to see on these ear buds would be more control over what finger taps might do, instead of just picking from a predetermined list. For example, with Wyze buds, I can set one tap on the right to play/pause and two taps to increase volume. With the Sony buds, I can pick one or the other. So while these are not perfect ear buds, they're the best I've had so far. ... show more

Favorite wireless earbuds
Color: White
I've been using these earbuds for a few years now. They are great for smaller ears. My outer ear area, or concha, is small compared to the average adult. Most wireless earbuds are too big and end up falling out of my ears. These fit perfectly and are very comfortable. They are lightweight and I can wear them all day long without any ear pain or discomfort. The sounds quality and noise cancellation is good. Although, I wish the noise cancellation was a little bit better. I'm on my 2nd pair now. ... show more

Great in theory, but doesn’t hold up
Color: Black
Edit to fix my grammar Long review. TLDR: ANC doesn’t work efficiently with constant wind noises blowing in left ear. Transparency sounds whiny, tinny, and almost unuseable. Shotty BT connection. Lack luster app. Sound is good, but only after tweaking the EQ. Switched back to my AirPod gen 1s. Pretty disappointed. So I’ve been using the AirPods 1st gen for about 5 years now. They have always been good, done me right, but they have been crapping out so I decided to look around for new ear buds. I did plenty research and everything came back to these. The price seemed right for what was being advertised. I got them, out of the box was cool, I knew it needed some tweaking, but not too bad. The Transparency was a bit whiny and tinny, but not unbearable. The sound was great, nice bass and what not but I did mess with the EQ a bit then got a nice sound. Audio enhancing, the ear forming schtick, all that fun stuff. This was the first day. The second day was when they were gonna be fully used, as I have my earbuds in almost all day at work, switching between listening to music/podcast, to just pausing the sound and forgetting they are there. Everything was cool, I was digging the transparency and having the podcast on at the same time, the ANC was satisfying. I was able to have a backpack leaf blower on and barely hear it. Of course, ANC was on, and I had my music near full blast. I didn’t do much physical activity that day, so they stayed in my ears well. After a while, I didnt notice them. But then comes the 2nd day. I’m getting ready for work, getting them on, and I notice the left ears transparency was far more intense than the right. The right felt normal, but the left felt like there was someone constantly blowing air into the mic. It was pretty jarring, but it was easily able to drown out in the music/podcast- with transparency on. But with the ANC setting on, it was near mind rattling. The ANC seemed like it didn’t do what it’s suppose to, like the Transparency mode was still active, but only in the left ear. The right felt as it was suppose to, but the left seemed to have no difference between ANC and Transparency. Only when I turned the ANC setting off, and just relied on the seal from the buds themself for the noise cancelling, that wind sound went away. This was the trouble shoot solution that SONY THEMSELVES recommended. Basically saying “just don’t use the ANC feature that you paid to get” Sure, easy fix, but the transparency still started to go, on top of the whiny and tinny sound. Which, the 2nd day, it was almost unusable as the voices came through way too intense and loud, with too much white noise being picked up. This day as well, I was doing some landscaping and was a bit more labor intensive but nothing crazy. These things would not stay in. I’d shove them in, get a solid seal, and then gradually they would fall out. I’ll give it the fact that I was making some hard movments as I was digging in dirt, but even later in the day, simple walking was making them want to fall out. I kept it going, giving them the benefit of the doubt maybe I need to change sizes, all that. I’m driving home, and decide to keep them both in so I can really break in the sound. But as I was driving, I kept having stuttering and quick disconnects. With my phone on my lap, the case in my pocket, I was getting real bad BT connection. Maybe it was the change of internet signals or whatever, if that’s even a factor. I ended up taking them out and using my car stereo because of how bad it got bad. Day 3 rolls around, and all the same issues. Constant heavy wind sound blowing through my left ear, which then eventually switched to the right. Same issues not staying in my ear, I changed buds and smalls were too small, and the large were too large. I suck it up, and keep using them for the day. Trying to mess with the settings and see what I can do. Nothing much able to change. Then My phone starts dying so I decide to plug it in, and keep it off my person, only about 20ft at most away from me at any time, and these things were stuttering and losing connection so bad. I was still within such close proximity to my phone and the case, outside of a building, no walls or anything to impede the connection, and I couldn’t get more then 10-15ft without connection problems. That was very frustrating. I should be able to have my phone within a more reasonable distance to keep a solid connection. I did go into the settings and re-prioritized the Connection Quality over Sound Quality, and that seemed to have made it even worst. This was after a full day of being generally uncomfortable wearing these. The app for these seemed really dated. I understand a BT headphone app not being super crazy innovative, but this one seemed hyped up with unnoticeable change. The added features such as the spatial audio, ear forming, auto voice detection, we’re all very lack luster. I was very excited to try these out and get something other than AirPods, but even after doing extensive research on Wireless Earbuds and came to these conclusions, I am very disappointed. If I’m paying a decent amount on ear buds that have all the bells and whistles, i want the bells and whistles. I didn’t buy ANC, Transparency, in-depth ear buds, to not even be able to use those features because they are just overall uncomfortable to use. I already issued a return, and went back to my old gen 1 AirPods. I am more than likely go for the AirPod Pro 2. This could all be subjective and personal issues with my specific device, but even with that, that calls for mad inconsistency and I’m over all very disappointed that after all my research, it came down to this. ... show more

They're amazing, but will die after 2 years

I loved these earbuds, but after 1-2 years, one earbud started draining battery in just an hour. Apparently it's a known issue with no fix, and if you're past your 1 year warranty, tough luck. I ended up buying the CMF buds 2 pro. The sound quality is great, noise cancelling is great, comfort and fit is great. Doesn't really slip out of my ears. They don't stick out of your ears which is a plus, and the case is nice. Battery life is decent, lasts around 5 hours outside of the case. It's a shame they die after 2 years, otherwise these would be 5 stars ... show more

If you have small ear canals, these are the earbuds for you!!!
It has taken me over a year and quite a bit of money to find some ear buds that won't fall out of my ears!! Apparently I have freakishly small ear canals. Hard ear buds like airpods hurt like a mofo after being in place for any amount of time and every soft ear bud I have tried will literally fall out when I'm sitting still. These came up on a "Best of" earbud list for small ear canals and I decided to give them a go. To be fair, these are the most expensive pair I've tried to this point, so it's entirely possible that the 2-300+ dollar pairs might fit small ears easily, but I was trying to avoid paying that much. To be honest, I was trying to avoid paying more than 50 bucks, but after my third try, I knew that was a pipe dream. I think the combination of the smaller size and the fact they are lighter than most ear buds, these finally are the ones that stay put!! You do have to download a special app in order to get them to connect to your device - which is strange and kind of annoying - and sometimes the battery will just die without warning, but other than those two small complaints, I love these earbuds! Highly recommend for people with small ear canals and for the rest of you too! :) Update 6/16/25: still LOVE these! In fact I bought a second pair. I’ve updated my star rating from a 4 to a 5 bc you don’t need the app to connect them, apparently I’m just an idiot. ... show more
