Sony LinkBuds S Noise-Canceling True Wireless In-Ear Headphones (Black)

Sony’s LinkBuds S are the company’s latest earbuds, fitting into a lineup that consists of the flagship WF-1000XM4s , the very unique LinkBuds , and the entry-level WF-C500s . Though they share a name with the open-air LinkBuds, the “S” model earbuds have a far more conventional design that seals in...

  Sony’s most comfortable earbuds to date, Good voice call quality, LDAC support

  $200 and no wireless charging?, New software features are a mixed bag, ANC and sound quality are a step below the 1000XM4

When Sony sent over the two LinkBuds models, they expect some close comparison. But they cater to very different use cases. Personally, I would get the WF-1000XM4 for its superior ANC and overall price-value (it’s my favourite true wireless earbuds in 2021 ), and get the LinkBuds as a second pair to...

  Almost same features as WF-1000XM4 at below S$300, More compact than WF-1000XM4

• -

  ANC not as strong as WF-1000XM4, WF-1000XM4 seems like a better buy for just S$80 more

There's not an awful not to complain about with the Sony LinkBuds S. They're excellent wireless earbuds that sound good, have solid active noise-cancellation and have a ton of other features that you can choose to take advantage of.

  Solid noise-cancellation and sound quality, Small and comfortable design, Feature packed

  Not as good as the Sony WF-1000XM4, $200 still feels expensive

Sony LinkBuds S are super comfortable, and with the amazing ambient sound, there's almost no reason to take them out of your ears.

  Great comfort - barely noticeable in your ears, Incredibly good ambient sound, fine noise cancellation, Great sound!

  Right out of the box, it's missing some airiness and bass, which needs to be adjusted in the EQ, The sound is never as dynamic as we would like.

The Sony LinkBuds S are the smallest and lightest True Wireless in-ears from the Japanese manufacturer to date. Despite their miniature design, you don’t have to go without extensive features – on the contrary, Sony sets the bar pretty high.

Being the world’s smallest and lightest, noise-cancelling, Hi-Res truly wireless earbuds are major highlights for the LinkBuds S but it came with a reduction in fidelity. But for the 99% of their users, it won’t matter.

Now unlike the OG LinkBuds, the S type version gives you a more ‘standard’ look. No donut holes here. These look like several Sony designs merged into one. So the LinkBuds S is a mix of their WF-1000MX4 flagship buds and WF-C500 budget buds to sit somewhere in between – design and price-wise.

The LinkBuds S is an exceptional pair of earbuds with excellent build quality, specifications, features, and performance. Although its battery life isn’t impressive, it’s long enough to last a day. We also appreciate the eco-friendly materials used for its packaging.

There are a lot of things to love about the Sony LinkBuds S. The texture just works for my fingers, they fit my ears beautifully and there is never any danger of them falling out. My primary use case is handling calls on the go, many of them.

Well-specified, easy to wear, and with some real sonic talent, the LinkBuds S make sense in a lot of ways. But they’re a rather dispassionate listen, and they have rivals at every turn – not least from Sony itself.

  Remarkably light, small and comfortable, Open, informative sound, Good control options, great app

  Lots of very capable rivals, Strangely matter-of-fact sound, Ordinary look and feel

Highly recommend these Link Bud S’s from Sony! These are some of the best ear pods that I have owned.*Sound quality is amazing, while the noise canceling option is top notch.*Their lightweight feeling in my ears is such a plus as it doesn’t leave the inside of my ears sore like others do.

I love these earbuds! They are fantastic in almost every single way. First, they fit amazing, are super light and super comfortable. You barely even notice they are there and can wear them all day long. Second, they pair super fast and are connected in seconds. Now for the sound.

I can't say that I am impressed with the Sony LinkBuds S. Though the sound is crystal clear, the Bluetooth connection gets cut causing the audio to come out of the phone speaker without you realizing it. The sensors take some getting used to.

I bought the LinkBuds S a month ago so happy I did. If your looking for an absolutely great product, value, look no further. These are outstanding. Easy to put into the ear, comfortable enough to use all day. Great quality. The sound and clarity is AMAZING. Sound , voices, come in so much clearer.

These earbuds sound amazing. The quality is awesome and they're great at blocking out background noise. They paired right up very easily with no trouble at all. I'd have to say these paired up easier than any I've ever had. I can't say enough about the sound quality because it really is awesome!

These earbuds were super easy to set up and get going. They connected with no issues at all. The sound quality was amazing. The case is a perfect size and very easy to carry around. I absolutely love the look of them

I recently tried LinkBuds S from Sony in the color white, and I absolutely love them! They are so comfortable I forget I am wearing them. I have very small ear canals, so it's really hard to find one's that don't hurt my ears after an hour or so. Easy to link, and even easier to control.

These Sony - LinkBuds S are really fabulous! These earbuds are mine and mine only which is great as a mother and wife because when I put these on the only sound I can hear is the sound that comes from the earbuds.

Some of the best earbuds I've had! They fit in my ear and stay put which is great. The sound quality is great and I love being able to move without worrying about a wire catching. Great product. Great Quality. I would recommend these earbuds over and over again!

I LOVE these ear buds. They have a good fit so you can still tell they are in but they don't feel bulky or uncomfortable. The connection is strong even when wandering a bit further from my phone than my other earbuds do. They also hold a charge really well! I would highly recommend these.
