Sony LinkBuds S review: Small Earbuds, Big Sound

[@jontran4808]

They are low profile, easy to use, don’t fall out, sounds great, and doesn’t make you look like a tool.

[@regorRegor]

Not looking like a tool is an under valued life skill. Too many tools out there.

I am a long-time enthusiast of Bose products. Recently I’ve switched from Bose QC II to Soundcore Space A40. Unlike Bose, they came with a multipoint connection, wireless charging, and better battery life, not to mention lightweight. Also, the price was ¼ of Bose and a smaller case.

[@DJunclepaul2nd]

Have used these for some days now. I put them in my ears around 10am and take them out around 4pm. Not sore, not falling out. Not in use all the time but I can leave them in while not using them. Quiet in noisy environments. Happy customer so far

[@DJunclepaul2nd]

@@786Kay786 I am told the mic is very clear. I am a dog walker and so am outside walking a lot. Can be windy too but not had any complaints. The touch thing works about 70% of the time. Sometimes it doesn't recognise the taps, sometimes it reacts to phantom taps. I only use that to start and stop what I'm listening to. I did use it to answer calls but now I look to see who is calling and answer on my watch, chatting on the phones. Still not figured out how best to clean them!

[@tmb8807]

For what it's worth I've had the LinkBuds S for about 2 weeks and very happy with them so far. Came from the WF-1000XM3s which, although they sounded great, were never that comfortable. So I wanted something smaller and lighter, which swayed me towards the LinkBuds over the XM4s. In terms of comfort they're light years ahead - can wear them for hours on end with no pain or fatigue at all. Having said that I wasn't exactly blown away by the sound quality at first. I always ran the XM3s with the EQ off as they just sounded right to me like that, and I did the same with the LinkBuds at first. They definitely sounded less 'alive'. But having played around with the EQ a bit I've got them to where they sound (at least to my ear) about 95% of the way there vs the XM3s, which is great. The only thing I have noticed is a weird and very pronounced cut in the high frequencies if I go above ~85% volume, but I almost never go that high, especially with ANC on, so it's fine for me. The ANC itself definitely isn't quite as strong as the XM3s, but it's good enough for commuting on a noisy bus/train/whatever. And the transparency mode I think is actually a bit better - more natural sounding. Haven't tried the mics yet and I suspect I won't be that impressed when I do, but that's not why I bought them, so no big deal for me.

[@Tarnished101]

Thank you for this 😂 honestly what I was looking for because I hated the xm3 for their comfort and build

[@juanmcm]

I'm a proud owner of the 'old' _WF-1000XM3_ and, I'm so impressed with the noise canceling even on environments like planes, trains and noisy places still work very well. I only miss a model dedicated to sport and fitness sector which requires waterproofing and also sweating proof. The quality of sound is just OK but how others hear me in a call is just.. Maybe poor, need to improve a bit. The rest is just amazing and I just can't imagine what they will do in future versions.

[@ryancameron4170]

@@SuperJuvexxx Little late in responding but I really like my Wf-1000xm4s I just got a little over a month ago on a great sale. I decided to upgrade from the older 1000xm3 and these were a significant improvement for me when it came to the ANC, fit and a few other categories like a much more compact charging case. If you look online you'll see the wf-1000xm4s are on top / near the top of many review sites comparing various earbuds. But to answer your question I think a comparison between these two is pretty close and both are good earbuds from Sony which sound pretty similar but there's a difference in the battery life via 6 hours for the Linkbuds themselves then an extra 20 hours from their case, compared to the WF-1000XM4’s 8 hours and 24 hours respectively. The linkbuds also use silicone eartips which generally are more comfortable than foam eartips which are found with the 1000xm4 but there's a slight trade-off as foam one's are said to be better for ANC. The call quality is also said to be better for the Linkbuds in terms of rejecting background sound such as wind and your voice sounding a bit more clear. I don't think honestly you could go wrong with either, see if there's a better deal for one over another maybe and do keep in mind of course obviously at some point there will be a wf-1000xm5 surely.

[@SuperJuvexxx]

[@Orlanzepol123]

People are more concerned with voice quality, Qi charging, transparency mode, if they’re good for workouts,etc. All except for how good they sound playing music. A lot of the companies are tuning down their bass and volume on a lot of their newer earbuds. Jabra , Sony and Beats are prime examples. Why are they doing that? Is it because the speaker they’re using can’t handle deep bass and lots of volume because they’ll begin to rattle? I’ve returned 4 earbuds because of this and I am still looking for a pair with enough bass and volume since 75t are no longer available new. The 2 sets of 75t I also returned because they were damaged even though they were sold as new. It’s a jungle in the world of earbuds.😖

[@cosmin-danieldan2058]

I am in the position of finding new buds after my Jabra Elite 75T stopped charging and tried a lot of tips on youtube and internet but nothing seem to bring them back to life. Now that I have been spoiled with the deep bass on the Elite 75T, I am wondering which other headphones come close to that without compromising much on other sound. I feel like the Elite 75T had a rich bass (mind you I had to lower it a bit from EQ from default setting) but also an overall good sound, without compromising on mids and highs. Have you managed to compare Linkbuds S to the Elite 75T?

[@hepphepps8356]

Most earbuds have waaaaay too much bass for listening to music. These Sonys however, was not far off the mark.

If I didn't already own liberty 3 pros, these might be a good option. For me, those fall short in ANC and the fins are great when new, after a year they don't stay on, and the case is infuriating. They do work great for work, calls, pair to pc and phone.

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.

Just bought these and they my MacBook Pro won't recognize them to Bluetooth. Iphone is ok, but Not for the MacBook.

I think I'll stick with my SoundPeats TruAir2.

For 179 bucks, no wireless charging and multi point connectivity is disappointing, even more so when you factor in the fact that my earfuns sounds good, have wireless charging and ANC just for 70 bucks. This was honestly a bad choice by Sony. If I were looking for a pair of earbuds, I’d honestly go for beats (30 bucks cheaper, nearly the same, good android experience) or airpods pro (200-ish on amazon these days)

where is the multi point? I wish more companies would include this feature.

What 200$ and i cant use one at a time left or right ? I'll stick with soundcore 100$ cheaper and i can use one at time right or left ? Taking the Sony back and getting Skullcandy 180$ cheaper but i can use one at time right or left ? Now why cant 200$ give me that ?

You actually can use one or the other, you have to turn off your Google Assistant or Alexa assistant for it to work.
