Best I've brought the sound and beat is absolutely beautiful

Taken from Sony.com.au

I was impressed with the sound but unfortunately had to return them as they were constantly falling out of my ear even when I tried all the different ear bud sizes. It was frustrating as every time I could feel them coming out I would push them back in but this caused the bud to switch off. I’m going back to my old pair ( sound sport ) Sorry Sony it’s a no from me.

It was a gift which I’m generally happy with. Came with a good range of plugs for the ear. Not too heavy and isn’t inclined to fall out. Sound is good but can stop in one ear from time to time. Controls can be a little fussy as when you are putting them in you need to hold the edges or it thinks you are giving it taps for various things. Its alerts for battery levels are good. Quite compact which is good so easy to pocket. They slip onto the charge/storage box very easily. Connects easily to different devices. Only concern is sound cutting out in one ear..seems a random fault and doesn’t occur often.

Love these, I have smaller than average ears and these are very light and compact.

Great ear bud. Fits snuggly and sound is acceptable for intended use. I use them whilst cycling so I can stay aware of my surroundings. Unfortunately battery life is dreadful. Barely 3 1/2 hours from fully charged to dead. Will continue to use these on my short rides but stick with my soundcore aerofit, which have astonishing battery life, for my day rides

I purchase these a couple of months ago as a second set and have been impressed with the noise cancelling feature and found them easy to set up

I bought these to replace some JBLs that were lost, and they have never lived up to how good they were. The strange this with these buds is that the left bud often disconnects when I turn my head to look right. It happens when I am at my desk and turn to my second monitor on the right. Also happens when I am walking and looking right. Only way to fix is to drop the right bud back into the case and then take straight back out. Very annoying. I have done several factory resets, re-paired and still happens. Software all up to date. Wouldn't recommend.

Great quality and features and stay well in the ears, comfortable and great clear and well balanced sound. The best buds I have ever owned, by far. The only thing I would like to see is the central part to be brightly coloured to make them easy to find if accidentally dropped

Great product only 1 small issue every now and then one ear bud stops working

The things that I liked : The robustness of the packaging, and the total lack of plastic in the packaging. How easy it was to connect the Linkbuds and get them playing music How easy it is to check the state of charge of the charging box, and the Linkbuds, using the Sony App The amount of playing time per charge. Fail 1 : No matter which of the silicon end pieces I use, the Linkbuds will not stay in my ear. The problem seems to be that even when the plastic of the Linkbuds is hard against the cartilage of my ear, the silicon end piece is not far enough in the ear canal to form any sort of bond that will keep it there. I have to wear a sweat band over my ears to keep the Linkbuds in place. Fail 2 : The biggie. The Linkbuds S are supposed to be Noise Cancelling. When the NC function is activated, it introduces a very audible flutter/rasp in the right earpiece - the noise you would probably get when a breeze blows over an unprotected microphone. The left earpiece.does not suffer from this affliction. But, between the two of them they do no Noise Cancelling at all. Switching between NC and Ambient Sound produces no discernable difference in sound. There is a difference when the Ambient Sound Control is switched OFF and all the introduced noise stops.

There's for snuggly with the supplies adjustable loops, music is clear and you can still hear the world around you. Lots of features in the app to customise your experience.

I purchased these headphones to replace my old wired ones and to take them with me on the go. So far i can't fault them. Comfort is important to me as i'd like to be able to use the headphones for long periods of time and they deliver. Great sound, great comfort, excellent price. what else can be asked?

These are a great set of buds. Comfortable. Sounds great. The only downside is the battery life. When listening to music I barely get 4 hours out of them. If using them for work and online meetings it is even less. Other brands I have used have lasted me at least a whole work day. Disappointing for the price but if that issue was fixed they'd be perfect.

Only two months I lost the right side piece, have been looking for it. Want to use the left ear piece, but can't because it won't work without the right side.

Sound quality is on par with the Samsung buds 3 pro.. but constantly loses connection and needs to be placed back into charging case and then refitted to the ear..

I had jaybird vista sports before I got the link Bud S and I’m glad I swapped the have the same features as the jaybirds and more being able to swap from noise cancelling to ambient noise due to the inbuilt speakers in the link buds along with other features including badges make them much better and fun to use as it’s like gaming with ear buds 🥰😂

I read thousands of reviews before buying this product and every single review gave me concerns about it but, ultimately, it was the best thing I have done!

I like everything about these headphones except for the awful battery life. These barely last 2 hours on a full charge. Not even close to the stated time of 5+ hours.

Bought about a month ago and the fit perfectly. Great noise cancelling and even better sound quality.

I bought these primarily for running, so the open ear design allows a little ambient noise in which is helpful to hear road traffic, or race marshal instructions, whilst still maintaining excellent sound quality. I have small ears so always struggle with in-ear buds just being too big but these are very small and come with a really big selection of rubber fitment bands to secure into any ear size. I've been using these for over 2 years and never had any connection problems across three different phones. They always connect and always play in sync, without any breakup or distortion.

Bought these at airport as I’d left my Bose QCII at home. Happy with quality for the cheaper option.

I really liked the design and case on these open earbuds but I don't know if it's my ear shape or something else but I constantly have to readjust these in my ear for them to stay put no matter what size of the rubber loop I place on the buds. However, easily the worst part(and the reason I decided to return) is the touch controls. I've never had a pair of earbuds with more inconsistent touch controls. I spent multiple weeks hoping I would master the finger positioning and every time I thought I was getting the hang of it I would lose all control and be relegated to relentlessly fingering the earbud to no avail. Sometimes my earlobes would even activate them out of the blue. This really sucks as these earbuds are competitively priced with good sound quality and are so comfortable you can forget their in your ear but I just got worn down over time.
