Sony LinkBuds S : "Almost" The Best Sony Has To Offer

[@sharkbait7854]

Got them for $150 on Prime day. Way more comfortable then the xm4's and stay in your ears better compared to the galaxy buds pro/2's. Can't enjoy the earbuds if they aren't comfortable for everyday use.

[@tramthuy6190]

did you have constant drop out with spotify?

[@E-man5375]

Got ‘‘em for $130 on Amazon no regrets buying them

[@skullcrusher_1]

I actually really like these. They're small and comfortable and I'm very happy to see Sony finally taking phone calls seriously. I feel like I'm not really compromising on sound quality compared to the xm4s. I do still prefer the sound on the xm4s but these are just a better more comfortable all around option. I think the original linkbuds concept worked better for that style of earbud as I don't see myself wearing these all day like I do with the regular linkbuds.

[@tramthuy6190]

does it have constant drop out with Linkbuds s

[@LE_NOMAD90]

I heard someone say the sound is similar to the XM3 and I loved the tuning in them. If these are comparable to Sennheiser in sound I'm keeping a sharp eye on these!

[@video-carl]

I agree with your opinions. The one thing Sony could do is let owners choose what taps do

[@St32003]

Keith, how does the bass hold up when the volume is raised? I noticed the bass faded back on the XM4s when volume went up.

[@carlson2012abqb]

They just released an update for them yesterday that eliminated that problem. Raising the volume only raises the volume now 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@carlson2012abqb]

I would say that these are basically equal to the Beats Fit Pro when it comes to price, sound quality, anc and comfort. Since these have an eq you can actually get them to sound a little better than the Beats and those have been my go to earbuds for 7 months now.

[@KuadzFit]

Just picked these up for $130 and for that price they're perfect for what I need them for (everyday use/gym). Ps: they have multi point connect now 😁

[@moemenhisham3979]

wow multi point just makes them just that much more interesting thanks so much for the info also do they have big delay or is it good for watching videos

I did the same. $130.00 even with new earbuds surfacing is a good price.

[@ICEMANZIDANE]

@3:40 thats simply not true, they said from the beginning that they will roll out an update which makes this option availavble.... By now it should be out afaik

[@RishabSg]

Got them for $128, very happy with this!

[@user-EARROR]

From Amazon? And when did you got that offer? Please replay

[@ELJefeReviews]

Excellent video bro!

[@pikapipikachuu3398]

Would you prefer Soundcore Liberty 4 or Sony Linkbuds S? Esp in terms of anc and sound quality

[@TheTrollPeople]

Multipoint connection coming out now!

[@demon6937]

the next XM5 should be on that size, damn the XM3 and XM4 looks like you are a Frankenstein.

[@DeusRegum]

The recent firmware updates now allow to connect to multiple devices… Amongst other improvements.

[@vincentforonda7381]

i have big hopes that the wf -1000xm5 design will look almost the same as these.. it's like the link bud S is the beta version of wf-1000xm5s

[@TheCole360]

3:12 - "but also using this feature(google fast pair) alows you to be able to FIND YOUR EARBUDS as well. So if you DON'T REMEMBER WHERE THE LAST PLACE YOU USED THEM. it's nice that you can do that. How exactly can you use fast pair to fing the lost earbud?

[@ONNHA-qm1bl]

I've seen where with the latest firmware update the ANC and Ambient mode is actually worse. And wind noise is worse... Anyone else have the same issue ? As always another great video Sir

[@derrickcrocker4265]

Nice, do they have as good of bass as with the xm4's

[@moemenhisham3979]

nice video but sorry did you try it with games and watching videos? i am thinking of buying them but i want to make sure there isn't a big delay

[@natesmith3653]

Sounds and fit compared to MTW 3? Hmmm

[@wilsonng7464]

Thanks for your no BS review very honest opinion

[@SneD95]

May i know if this earbud comfortable enough to use on full face/open face helmet while riding motorcycle ?

[@CHENOTV]

Almos tis a good answer. Great video bro!

[@giotorres9848]

what earbuds do u recomend for gaming on pc??

[@sachinpraveen7750]

Which is better Wf c500 or this linkbuds s compared to bass

[@altamushg]

How does the ANC on these stack up against the neobuds pro?

[@davidh8018]

Got these for $100 at Walmart yesterday. I had to double check they were actually the linkbuds s. Either the cost of these has gone down or Walmart made a booboo. Really enjoying them so far especially for the price I paid

[@Model3P]

I bought this just for the battery life with NC & AS off. And you can use them separate for each other

[@abdulrahmanhawarneh1605]

i cant use separate , i can only use the left buds with the right

[@ondopardede3101]

Could you please tell me which 1 more comfortable compare to 1more comfobuds mini?

[@alexsadler15]

Are you able to assign playback controls (pause and skip track) to the left earbud on the Sony link buds s!? Thank you!

[@deensheikh]

Bro, how does it compare to WF1000XM4? Sound Quality, ANC/Transparency, and call quality?

[@mikeevans7381]

I just don't see the value in these but I do agree with you for 150.00$ I'd take a look. I'm looking at the new JBL Live pro 2 and it's sibling. At 150 bucks I just think they have more to offer than the Sony's. The time energy and hard work that you put into these reviews is much appreciated believe it. 👍💯🇺🇸

[@waledhasabelkarim6937]

I got JBL live pro 2. Full of features and clean sound. A warm Harman target sound with smooth treble and wide soundstage. I faced no connection or charging issues. I love the small case

[@lilypad2]

What's the USA flag for?

[@FrugalInventor]

The JBLs sound great but I had intermittent connection issues … 1 second drop outs … and I wasn’t the only one if you check Amazon reviews … technical support was easy to contact and tried to help but they couldn’t do anything but offer me a new pair … I passed and returned them

[@josecintron85]

How does the 'magic' speak to chat feature if I am singing like a maniac?

[@BrianHartman]

These sound like really good earbuds, but not including wireless charging for $200 is kind of inexcusable. I can understand why they wouldn't want the ANC to be as good as on the xm4s, but omitting wireless charging just doesn't make sense when you're asking this much money.

[@mevoogle]

I personally haven't used wireless charging for anything

[@Mickieshelton]

@@mevoogle lol

[@BrianHartman]

@@mevoogle I don't use it for my phone, because my phone stays in a case, but I use it for my Galaxy Pro earbuds and my Kindle Paperwhite. (Although, to be honest, the charger for the Kindle Paperwhite mostly functions as a stand to keep it on, since the battery lasts so long.)

[@crazycats08]

I doubt that wireless charging is a must have feature for most people. But yeah you do you

[@markpomerhn76]

Nice Video Gamesky! Thanks!

[@RicherTechReviews]

Awesome review, just weighing these up on the Prime Day deal 🔊

[@sgcars]

Why are you lying about the noise cancellation not being there as much as XM4s or may be you are just feeling they are the top end so they got better? I have both and these with their great noise isolation are in many ways better than XM4s in total noise cancellation. In fact, of Sony, Apple, Samsung buds I have these are the best.

[@marion817]

These already support multipoint, per the latest firmware update.

[@mjp5546]

Not incorporating multi device connect is a deal breaker for me. Silly omission.

[@alejandronuno9829]

Why?

[@E-man5375]

[@pauledwards5573]

So I purchased mine yesterday and already having problem with the right hand earbuds draining before the left Have reset them a couple of times anybody any ideas please??

[@TechOutAdam]

I love how Sony is really pushing for every tier of price range with the best possible features for the price range.

[@MelloHubb]

Idk man... 200 bucks with no wireless charging is kind of asking too much imo. The jabra elite 7 pro are better for cheaper according to other reviewers

[@CuoreSportivoQV]

Great informative video,thank you ! I think the xm4 are a little bit "cheating" with the foam tips, I liked the link buds , but it was not possible for me to get a secure fitting.and I am not the only one with this problem.to many movement in my face muscles.perhaps Botox could fix it 😉.so the link buds s are for me the best choice for every day use. to enjoy music they are very good,but for my ears not the same level as the soundcore liberty 3 pro.

[@SamAbdelHamid]

Hey Keith, I'm currently using the JLab Epic Air Sport Anc gen 1 earbuds and I'm pretty satisfied with how they sound regardless of their ANC capabilities. Now, I'm really interested in these Sony link buds S but I wanted your opinion on the sound quality difference between them and the epic air sport ANC.... Are the Sony worth the upgrade sound quality wise?

[@Advisorblogger]

A very interesting pair. I do not own a pair of Sony but the link buds did not appeal to me. The xm3 and xm4 and these look interesting

[@diamonddogz389]

I'm not very satisfied about these earbuds. The sound quality is very muddy and 'closed'. Even with the EQ I couldn't open the sound a little more. And the volume is very low. Yes, the vocals are more forward, but if you listen to music with live instruments you can hear the cymbals and hihats are very muddy and not bright at all. This is very annoying!

[@DaKillmonger]

I liked these but I returned them. The noise separation was not that good when compared to my xm4 and the base was much worse with my galaxy buds with comply foam tips. Sucks because I rrrrrrrealy wanted them but they didn't cut it via side by side sound quality

[@cesarperalta1018]

Great pair of earbuds amazing noise canceling

[@VLADICA94KG]

Anyone seeing this comment: please don't buy Sony Linkbuds S. I was thinking that they are the great earbuds, based on review, but I have to say it is a piece of crap. Eveyone is saying that micrphone/call quality is top-notch, but it is actually the worst part of the earbuds. Immediately after starting the call, they automatically turn on Sidetone (like an ambient mode) and you can barely hear the other side due to wind/white noise + ambient sound around it. Interestigly enough, there is no SINGLE WORD about that from the reviewer. That makes them unsable in any environment except its own quiet room. It is imppossible to use them in train / open office / coffee shops / running...so please stay away from them and buy way better earbuds in the same price range: Nothing Ear 2 or Anker Libert 4 (4 NC) or similar price range Jabra models...

[@diamonddogz389]

I do agree with you. I regret buying these. The sound quality is very muddy and 'closed'. Even with the EQ I couldn't open the sound a little more. And the volume is very low.

NO wireless charging though.... you can get 59.00 earbuds that have wireless. I am not sure that was a good move by Sony.
