LinkBuds Fit – Truly Wireless Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Earbuds - All Day Comfort, IPX4, Hi-Res Audio, Ambient Sound Mode, 21Hrs Battery Life, Multipoint Connection, iOS & Android - Black

Please check out my edit at the bottom of this review! These just arrived today, so after I set up the basics, the first thing I did was take them down the gym for a workout! Not bad at all. I have a small ear canal, and therefore the extra small tips are great - and while I am aware of them in my ear, they don't feel too tight and the wingtip doesn't rub - they are actually really soft, so I suspect long term use will warrant a replacement. They are a bit tricky to position at first, but I expect to get used to that in time - they didn't fall out during any of my cardio or weight training efforts. The fit in my left ear felt slightly better than my right, but that's clearly more to do with my biology than anything Sony got wrong. The ANC is more than acceptable, although not as good as that on my larger over-the-ear headphones. The overall sound quality is superb. In a quietish room they'll be great, but in a gym, the ANC won't completely drown out their music until you put your own sounds on. Remembering the tapping sequence is a bit tricky - I keep turning off the ANC - again, this will take some getting used it. The new app is a bit confusing and I'm still not completely clear on all the operational functions, however I guess that's just a learning curve for me. After many years of looking for the perfect sports earbud, I think this is the best so far. EDIT: After a little bit of use, I've noticed that the connection occasionally drops - mainly when I'm in the gym. When this happens, I need to either reconnect via the app or put them back into the charging case. This might be a glitch that can be sorted out with an update, but if it persists, I will be contacting Sony.

Absolutely loved these at first. Found the noise cancelling great and also calls were crisp and clear. Looked great and never had any problems Fast forward 9 months and the right earbud keeps losing sound. 1 minute its ok the next its muffled, then it just doesnt work at all!. Very disappointed to say the least. I have returned them back to Sony to be repaired but would of thought these would have lasted longer. Especially for the price i paid which was £130. Now left with no earbuds.

I have used these earbuds for 5 months now and I haven’t had any problems with them. The sound quality is brilliant and I bought them to replace an old pair of AirPods Pro. The sound quality is great and you can adjust your audio tastes if you download the app. The noise cancelling is good for the price and it effectively blocks out my heaving stomping and motor/belt of my treadmill whilst I’m running. People report hearing me clearly and accurately when I use the ear buds for meetings and video calls. The colour is beautiful and I enjoy the mini cube shaped charging case. The earbuds can produce very loud sound, the battery life is great and I’ve never run out of battery (I use between 4-6 hours and day). They’re very easy to pair and use. The winged tip fits perfectly in my ears and they haven’t fallen out during running, weight lifting or tennis! It’s clear to say they’re extremely secure once in properly. I would buy these again over AirPods any day. Sony have always made quality products at decent prices.

Worth the price with great smooth sound and a helpful app to control, but it's not without its flaws. The app sometimes closes itself and where it's link to the touch sensitive buds, it means that alot of the time the touch won't work. Also a few months in the noise cancellation feature bugged in one of the ears and is now very sensitive to bass sounds, making it nearly unusable. Keeping on it's default setting and sometimes using the spacial feature when walking around makes it more than satisfactory.

Highly disappointed by these for their price and description, of which none of them met expectations. Firstly they are quite large and clearly not designed for smaller ears. Difficult to fit and position. They look nice but that's about it. The noise cancelling is very poor. Took to the gym and they maybe blocked 30% of the background noise. Thought I was doing something wrong. Decided to wear in room with a TV on a standard volume and I could hear every word. They were not comfortable to wear. Sound wise is OK, but nothing mind blowing. I was fooled by the reviews. But clearly none were in a loud space or used in fitness. They maybe great for general use for larger ears but in the gym they were useless. I have returned them as no headphone at that price should be that poor..

I am using these on my mountain bike after my Jaybirds packed up after 2 years. I needed something with those ear "fins" on otherwise they would just drop out of my ears, and I do not like the ones that go over the back of the ears (too uncomfortable). Options are limited. If the Apple Air Pods would not fall out, I would have purchased those as they are superior in every aspect apart from the most important to me, fit. These feel really comfortable, and stay in your ears which was a high priority. Sound is good, good enough for me. ANC is fine, not something I would use on my bike anyway as wind would be a problem. The worst thing about these though as the touch controls. They simply do not work very well when on the bike. I presume wind causes the taps not not register very well. They work fine when stationary though.

Working properly, very happy with this, using since a year

Easy to use comfortable fit sound quality very good

I've now had two pairs of these, one bought here, on Amazon, both with the exact same failing. In short, when you take these out on the street, the sound randomly cuts out, primarily in the right ear. Used with a Samsung Galaxy S25 and updated to the latest LinkBuds firmware, 1.3.2. Both in LDAC and AAC modes. Equally with streamed content and music stored locally on the phone. I also tried changing (turning off) all (power saving etc) settings in the Sony app to no avail. Interestingly, when you use the transparency mode (without content playing), this also cuts out from time to time, again primarily in the right channel. I even found a way to reproduce this deliberately. When operating a house alarm panel that beeps as you type on it, and your head is at a certain angle, the transparency mode cuts out in a predictable manner. Were I to hazard a guess, the LinkBuds misconstrue those sounds as feedback and, therefore, cut power for a second, or so. Oddly, however, the problems are not limited to that mode. Music may cut out, even if noise cancelling / ambient passthrough are turned off. Perhaps the feedback detection remains on, regardless. I cannot say why this primarily happens on the right channel only. Perhaps it has something to do with my ear geometry and the fit of the earbuds. That said, I did use the Sony app's seal testing function and switched to the large tips early on. Everything I said refers to the large tips with a good seal. Indeed, when it works, I think the noise cancelling is quite good. The above unfortunately kills this product, at least for my ears. Other than that, the earbuds are nice enough that I tried the second pair when I saw the purple ones at a low price. I genuinely thought my existing pair was faulty. Otherwise: Light, good fit, decent sound, very useable noise cancelling, even if it's apparently not the best. The purple is darker than it appears in photos. If you prefer black, you might like the purple as well.

Super geluid, echt top.

J'avais acheté les écouteurs Sony WF-LS900, le son était très bon mais l'écouteur gauche tombait sans arrêt. J'ai donc acheté ceux-ci pour les remplacer. Je suis très contente de mon achat, ils sont confortables, ils tiennent bien dans mes (petites) oreilles et la qualité sonore est bonne.

Prima di acquistare questi auricolari ho letto e visto qualche recensione. L'idea di base era quella di acquistare degli auricolari con codec LDAC/LC3 ad un prezzo giusto. In più, anzi cosa imprescindibile, gli auricolari dovevano essere stabili all'orecchio in modo da non compromettere l'esperienza d'uso con continui aggiustamenti o riposizionamenti all'orecchio e senza che si potessero sfilare. In sostanza era imprescindibile l'aletta in gomma. Premetto che le recensioni non sono del tutto lusinghiere su questo prodotto, secondo me a torto, ma andiamo con ordine. Partiamo dal hardware. Scatola, contro scatola e case sono veramente minuscoli. La confezione è davvero ben pensata, all'interno troverete manualistica e gli eratips in varie misure. Per la verità avrei apprezzato anche delle alette di varie dimensioni ma devo dire che in fin dei conti non se ne sente la mancanza. Il case è bellissimo, con doppia finitura lucida e opaca. La cerniera sembra stabile e ha solo un gioco minimo. Ho subito comprato la cover originale. Idem gli auricolari. Sono davvero piccoli, forse inaspettatamente piccoli, tanto che ho avuto qualche dubbio che potessero essere stabili all'orecchio. Per lo meno sono così leggeri da non sentirli nemmeno dopo ore di uso. Non sono gli auricolari più resistenti allo sfilamento ma la leggerezza fa sì che si possano indossare senza preoccuparsi che si sfilino da soli. Adesso passiamo alla cosa di cui mi interessa di più parlare. Ho fatto lunghe sessioni di ascolto con vari pezzi sfruttando il codec LDAC con tracce lossless. A differenza di quanto ho sentito e letto, ovvero di una leggera preminenza dei bassi posso dire che l'audio è inaspettatamente bilanciato ma con la sorpresa di un punch di tutto rispetto quando la traccia lo chiede. Anche i medi, definiti spesso altrove come confusi mi sono sembrati davvero a fuoco ed anche dettagliati. Solo in poche occasioni ho sentito delle medie e medioalte fastidiose sull'orecchio. Gli alti sembrano sufficientemente ariosi e dettagliati. E' un piacere andare a scovare dettagli sulla traccia che con un ascolto normale con tracce lossy nemmeno pensi che esistano. L'app è un tripudio di funzioni. Audio adattivo, silenzio adattivo, tutto adattivo. E va bene così. Sony si conferma leader sia come hardware che come software. In definitiva se si vuole un paio di auricolari che suonino davvero bene e con un focus sulla stabilità sono un acquisto veramente ben fatto, specie al prezzo di auricolari con scheda tecnica inferiore. Ultimo ma non ultimo. Gli auricolari una volta indossati sono praticamente anonimi, e questo fa moltissimo se si vogliono tenere occhi curiosi lontano. Per di più è possibile anche una certa personalizzazione con cover per il case e gommini colorati.

Very good earbuds. ANC is very effective for use in noise places, ambient mode is the best I've ever heard. The sound quality is good, and the bass is highly competent! The fit is very secure and comfortable. The wings I can feel slightly but no big deal. The tap controls are awesome. These earbuds are not for those who want very good noise canceling because without playing music the ANC is gonna let in more noises than a good noise canceling earbud. I highly recommend these as sport buds. It's comfortable for everyday but wings make it a little bit tighter for me, but i would be very fine with this if I didn't have something else to use.
