Good but not perfect
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Posted .Hi Zach,
Thanks for commenting! We are thrilled to know your satisfaction with the exceptional sound quality and very comfortable fit design of the LinkBuds S. We truly appreciate your feedback with the wireless charging, touch control settings, battery life of the charging case, Sony Headphones Connect app, and price of these headphones.
Regarding the touch sensor, you can actually change the function assignments to the touch sensors of the left and right units using the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app. For example, the music playback function that is assigned to the touch sensor of the right unit in the factory settings can be changed to the touch sensor of the left unit. You can also change the settings that do not assign the music playback function, noise canceling function, Ambient Sound Mode and playback volume adjustment function, etc. For reference, you may refer to the following links:

Great IEMs, would recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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+.

Great stylish & comfortable earbuds!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got tired of Airpods for the last two years. Wanted to switch to these earbuds because they looked promising. I'm also really into earphones/headphones in general. These did ot disappoint at all! They sound good, clear and fluid! Though, in comparison to Apple Airpods they sound fairly the same, but they're comfortable & good quality. I didn't even switch the earbuds because they were snug in my ears from the start. The case seems a little cheap in material, but the color is great. The battery life is still sufficient. Don't get discouraged by the 6 hour battery life. It's more than enough. You won't be using them for 6 hours out of the day if we're being honesty. I'd still charge them when you can, though. These will try to make you get 360 Audio compatible apps like Tidal, but honestly Apple Music & Spotify are enough for these earbuds even without the 360 audio feature.

These earbuds don’t hurt my ears
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds turned out to be perfect for my needs, they don't hurt my ears after using alternately in each ear, the battery life is also very good lasts for hours, perfect sound when i want to listen to music and the noise cancellation is very good too. I generally listen to podcasts and YouTube, I can take calls, compared to the BOSE I bought months ago they were quite good, you can use these one at a time, which is what I usually do, I bought some Sennheiser that I had to return because they were quite big for me ear, and my AirPods that I used for years got damaged and I decided to give other brands a chance and so far I am very happy with my purchase.

Sony almost created something too good!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So if you were a fan of the xm4s and loved the sonund but wished they could have been a little less thick or less fat...this is the answered prayer to that request. The Linkbuds S gives you the lightest and smallest High Res audio earphone in the world. They sit in your ears very well and even flat enough to lay down in them. The sound quality with EQ abilities gives you the same options you have wirh the Xm4s. Some say a little better balance is heard in these vs the xm4 but I dont hear enough difference to truly believe I. would look back and miss either one and that's big for this model as it is cheaper. In fact, the only thing I would say might bother some is the lack of wireless charging and maybe a few hours less on total battery life. Personally anything over 5+6 hours is good and anything over that is just icing on the cake. Other than that you got the hear through options and touch controls like tje xm4s as well. But the biggest plus and shock is how much better these are vs any other earphone on the market at taking phone calls. The voice quality is at the top of the market for earphone. Sony truly worked its magic with the microphone array on this earphone. These things are even better than brands like Jabra which is sayjng a lot. So buy with the confidence that you truly have a true All arounder.

Worth every dime
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was using Powerbeats pro before I bought Sony linkbuds S. Powerbeats pro had multiple issues and I decided to trade in to buy a different brand of EarPods. I thought of trying Sony linkbuds S. Oh man, I made the right choice. It works perfectly for me. Its noise cancellation feature is really amazing. I’ve been using it for the past few weeks. I have a 1.5 hours commute time to work and I take public transportation. The noise cancellation feature cancels the external sounds to almost 100% that I’m able to enjoy music without any distractions. The sound quality is incredible too. The pods perfectly fits in my ears even while I run/jog. Recently I paired the pods with the SONY smart TV in my bedroom and I’m able to enjoy watching TV even while lying in my bed as the pods are small and not sticking out of my earlobes. Sony products never fail to amaze me. These EarPods are worth every dime.

Muffles human voices really nicely
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connects really fast. They were able to cancel out human voices very well. (I have not tried them when around screaming kids. But I'm sure they would muffle the sound a good bit if combined with white/brown noise) They can be comfortable as long as you choose the right size and don't wear them too long. I use over the ear headphones for longer use and these earbuds for when it's really noisy and need to focus for a bit.

My new favorite wireless earbuds! Try them out!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have purchased many brands and types of wireless earbuds over the years, including top name brands. So far all of them have left me disappointed and missing the quality of my wired earbuds until now. The Sony Linkbuds S is the first wireless earbuds that has the quality of sound I expect and surprisingly wonderful noise cancelling capabilities. The value is amazing, especially if you can buy them on sale. They are also the most comfortable wireless earbuds I have ever owned and can listen for hours without fatigue or having my ears hurt. They especially sound even better when coupled with correctly paired foam eartips. With a 15 day return policy I strongly recommend you buy these and compare them to any other pair of wireless earbuds you are considering. The magic of the sound comes alive as you change the settings in your phone and the Sony headphones app to prioritize sound quality and set up DSEE Extreme. Sony has designed amazing software to pair with their hardware to create amazing sound.

Great value and surprisingly durable!
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, these are great wireless earbuds. They stay in the ear when I run, no problem with sweat or light rain, battery life is very nice. Please keep in mind that the material of the earbuds and the case feel almost like paper. It is an unusual texture for earbuds and I worried they would be damaged in water, but it is only a cosmetic choice. They hold up great. You need to download the Sony app to use these. A few too many preferences you must setup before you can use the earbuds but I like that there are tailored experiences in mind for an affordable earbud.

Solid Mid-Range Buds! Too expensive @ $200 though
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony LinkBuds S are a step in the right direction for Sony. They are a solid mid-range set of buds, light in the hand but feel well made (I wouldn't say feel premium, just ok) but regardless of this and the lack of wireless charging or multipoint connection (neither of which I care about) the SOUND is great. Subjective? of course... but even the novice mainstream music listener can appreciate these set of buds. They are not for everyone, but the small form factor, good Sony Headphones Connect App and very good sound are an easy recommendation at say... $150-$175 max. They are not $200 worthy, but as a Sony fan and Sony supporter... I'll let it slide. I would suggest looking out for discounts though. These would be an easy 5 stars if the price would reflect their worth. But... my opinion and these are certainly good enough.
