Sony LinkBuds S review: Smarter noise-canceling buds

 

The Sony LinkBuds S combine superb ANC with some very handy and smart features. But is that a formula for success, or just quirkiness?

Small and light Very good sound quality Excellent noise canceling Handy transparency features Wear sensors IPX4 water resistance

Mediocre battery life Quirky control options No wireless charging No Bluetooth Multipoint

“Excellent ANC and unique features make these earbuds an intriguing new option.”

Sony LinkBuds S Review: Sony's Goldilocks Earbuds

 

After releasing its doughnut-shaped LinkBuds, Sony's back with a new lightweight pair of buds with ear tips and active noise cancellation.

Lightweight, compact design with comfortable fit ; Very good sound and good noise canceling (with ambient mode) ; Support Sony's LDAC audio codec ; Speak-to-Chat feature

No multipoint Bluetooth pairing ; No wireless charging ; Not great for making calls from noisy areas

Sony LinkBuds S Review

 

Quality audio performance with rich lows and crisp, clear highs ; Effective noise cancellation ; In-app EQ, customizable controls, and Spotify Tap support ; Water-resistant design

Unimpressive battery life

Sony's true wireless LinkBuds S earphones deliver good sound quality and noise cancellation in a much more effective design than previous pair, but they don't quite outshine the rest of the competition.

Sony LinkBuds S review: supreme comfort doesn’t come cheap

 

Sony's new earbuds are its most comfortable yet.

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

Sony’s LinkBuds S are the company’s most comfortable earbuds to date thanks to their lightweight design. They also include active noise cancellation, an ambient sound mode, and IPX4 water resistance.

Sony LinkBuds S Sony LinkBuds S Review - The best earbuds in class

 

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 a pair of very interesting earbuds. In addition to being very small and compact, they provide a comfort that allows you to wear them in your ears all day, or as long as you want, without them getting sweaty or uncomfortable. And...

Sony LinkBuds S Review

 

The Sony LinkBuds S offers similar premium features as WF-1000XM4 in a small package and smaller price.

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...
