Extremely small, weighing only 4.8 grams, and exceptionally fitted earphones for communication and listening with comfort all day long. Hear the natural sound of your surroundings or activate advanced noise cancellation and focus on what you are listening to in your earphones with immersive sound. Speak-to-Chat will automatically pause the music when you start a conversation. Additionally, the earphones include intuitive touch control.
The LinkBuds S combine an ear-fitting shape with ergonomic design for stability. They were designed based on extensive data on ear shapes, dating back to the release of the world's first in-ear headphones in 1982, and by evaluating the sensitivity of different ear types, ensuring a shape that fits many people.
Now you have the capability for Bluetooth multipoint connection, meaning immediate and easy connection to multiple devices simultaneously to make your daily life even easier.
With Precise Voice Pickup that controls the internal and external microphone on the earbud, and advanced audio signal processing, for clear dialogues even in noisy environments. The noise reduction algorithm was developed with AI machine learning with over 500 million voice samples, for eliminating ambient noise and clear voice extraction.
New 5 mm driver unit, with a high-compliance diaphragm that helps the LinkBuds S remain small. Despite the small size, it delivers powerful bass and clear vocals, highlighting every genre of music. The rich mid frequencies offer clear voice in music, movies, and podcasts. And the noise cancellation of the LinkBuds S reduces distractions.
Set up Speak-to-Chat to automatically pause the music as soon as you speak, so you can hear only the ambient sound and be able to talk. Useful if you don't want to take off the headphones or if your hands are busy. Once the conversation is over, the music resumes automatically.
Just take the earbuds out of your ears and the music will stop, as the proximity sensor knows when you are wearing one or both earbuds. Put the earbuds back in and the music will start again.
Specifications are collected from official manufacturer websites. Please verify the specifications before proceeding with your final purchase. If you notice any problem you can report it here.
They were purchased on Black Friday for 128 euros. They have great sound, the battery lasts a long time, they fit perfectly in all ears, as long as you find the right size rubber tip you need (the package includes 4 different sizes). They work on Android, iOS, MacOS, and Windows, however, they do not work on Linux and do not have any compatible application/driver for either Debian or RedHat based distributions.
After about 3 months, when it is in noise canceling mode, it started making a very annoying noise. And apparently, it is a common issue.

Just don't buy them
The LinkBuds S prove to be an excellent choice in their category, offering premium features at an affordable price. Their daily use confirms their high value as an investment.
Sound Quality
The support for the LDAC codec is a significant advantage, especially when combined with services like Tidal. The difference in sound quality is noticeable compared to the typical streaming of Spotify, providing more detailed and clear sound.
Active Noise Cancelling
The ANC works perfectly, especially in:
- Flights where it drastically reduces engine noise
- Car rides, limiting road noise
- Everyday environments with constant noise
Battery
The battery life is satisfactory for daily use, providing reliable autonomy without frequent recharging needs.
Value for Money
Considering the premium quality features (LDAC, effective ANC) combined with their price, the LinkBuds S represent an excellent VFM proposition in the true wireless earphones category.
Conclusion
For those seeking quality headphones with an emphasis on high-resolution sound and effective noise cancellation, the LinkBuds S offer an excellent user experience at a reasonable price, especially when paired with Hi-Fi streaming services like Tidal.
After about 1 year, the battery in the right earbud lasts no more than 10 minutes and in the left no more than 20... before this battery issue, the earbuds were very good... but this does not justify the 120 euros I paid for earbuds that are useless to me after a year
Excellent headphones, however if you want to keep them for more than 8-10 months, don't bother. The battery on the LinkBuds S is unacceptable, after the time period I mentioned above, while it can charge up to 100% (emphasis on "can"), the battery on each bud lasts at most for about 20-25 minutes, and it started at 100%. And ultimately, the battery of the left bud lasts ~5', and the right one around ~10'. I made the mistake due to workload and didn't return them within the 1 Year Battery Warranty that Sony has (they know something), so they went to waste. Excellent sound quality, excellent ANC, but if you have to spend money every 8 months, no thanks. And the 2 stars and not 1 are only because as long as they lasted, they did an amazing job.
The battery in the right earbud lasted less than 10 months and because it was a gift and I don't have the warranty, they can't do anything of course the right earbud can be replaced which costs €85. Well done Sony
After 4 failed purchases of headphones (Razer Hammerhead True Wireless X, Huawei Freebuds 4, Huawei Freebuds Pro 3, Airpods Pro 2), I finally found headphones that fit well in my ears and do not fall out.
Their sound, for the money, is excellent, the build quality is outstanding, the connectivity is very good, and the Sony app, although a bit difficult to learn at first, is also quite good. The ANC, having tried Airpods Pro 2 and Huawei Freebuds Pro 3, didn't blow me away, but for the price, I think it's okay.
I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who has tried AirPods-style headphones that don't fit well in their ears or to those with a budget of up to €150 looking for reliable headphones for everyday use with ANC.
Another positive is that the headphones have MFI certification, so they work perfectly with iPhone.
After a year of light use, the left battery lasts half an hour. Unacceptable for such an expensive product, it's essentially trash. From now on, Sony is excluded for me.
Do not buy it, choose something else! It has general issues with the battery, where it completely drains after 10 minutes, making it useless, and it is something that Sony refuses to fix. Although it is a good product, it is guaranteed to become a waste of money after a year.
Perfect sound, relatively good ANC but after the one-year warranty period, the battery started to drain very quickly on the left side. Almost 2 years after purchase, they are completely useless, as the battery on the left side dies in 5 minutes. Upon checking Reddit, I discovered that this happens very often, so it's tragic on Sony's part. I do not recommend them
Having tried various more affordable ANC headphones for gym and outdoor (50-80€) I got these on Black Friday for 130€...the ANC is amazing you hear nothing when you don't want to, if you want to hear a bit it has from 1 to 20....the sound quality for music is awesome, very good bass and very good treble...they fit comfortably in the ear, you don't feel them after 5 hours...on my Google Pixel phone...on the treadmill I watch Netflix and with the spatial audio it's like watching in a home cinema...blindly get them, they are very close to the XM5 at half the price...
update: terrible service, the battery would run out in 1.5 hours and there would be a replacement, it's been 15 days and after a phone call to the Sony Center in Glyfada a very rude man told me okay it takes time you will have to wait for another week (21 days total)...the next day the manager called me and said they were sent the previous week but there is an issue with the general post office in Glyfada and she gave me a new voucher...2 days later it still hasn't been delivered...so stay away
Very good performance headphones with excellent noise cancellation compared to the AirPods Pro. Good sound, connectivity, and comfort in the ears. However, they will receive one star because they simply broke within a month, and they are actually the second Sony headphones that have broken in two months for me. Very good product in terms of its features, but unfortunately, they are not reliable (and probably the company as a whole). The customer service at Kotsovolos is as follows: "We cannot check them due to the nature of the product, so we will send them to the representative. Waiting time: 4-5 weeks.
Coming from the XM3 to the Sony, the difference is significant. The poor fit of the XM3 in the ear seems to have been corrected, better battery, very practical case, top-notch ANC, and also great sound. Great value for money at 120 euros.
Regarding the headphones, if you can try them. Because for me, they don't fit well in my ear and after a few hours my ear hurts due to the shape of my ear, while their battery doesn't last for many hours. However, as far as sound and noise cancellation and transparency function are concerned, they are fantastic
I have had them since Christmas of 2022 and I use them with Redmi 9 pro. Overall, they work fine. Sometimes they have disconnected on their own and sometimes they don't connect directly. Other than that, everything is good. I will come back in a year
Very good for its price, worth 100%
These specific headphones are the most convenient portable headphones because they are the smallest. However, within 2 months, they broke because moisture, probably from sweat, got in. It's the worst that I wasted 130€ in a time when money matters and it's not right for them to break in such a short period of time. Stay away
Satisfied with the sound quality and call quality, the battery life could be better but for me it's okay, I don't use them intensively every day... the build quality seems a bit cheap but maybe it's justified due to the recyclable materials. My main concern is their fit and therefore the effectiveness of the noise cancellation. I couldn't find any available ear tips that fit me perfectly and their material gives you the feeling that they will slip out of your ear... consequently, there is external noise leakage that "spoils" the NC. In conclusion, satisfied but at this price, you have higher expectations.
I believe that the 129€ they cost are well worth it. The sound quality is quite good and the bass is powerful (speaking of course about earphones), and the volume is also very good, although at maximum it can distort the sound a little.
Something that impressed me is the ANC, which as soon as it started working, I could hear everything around me as if I wasn't wearing headphones at a satisfactory level. I was also impressed by how well they fit and how well they isolate external sounds.
On the negative side, while the ANC is working and you're not playing music, you notice a strong hissing/white noise as if you're listening to a recording from a tape recorder.
Also, I wasn't crazy about the app.
I got them after the sony wf-c500. Very good sound, for the first time I had no issue with my interlocutor not hearing me. The noise cancellation is really good, you don't hear anything else but if you want, you can also hear. The battery disappointed me a little, only about 5 hours of continuous use in music, but luckily they charge very quickly in the case. The sound is very good for music and movies. The range with the mobile is not great, as soon as you move away, it loses connection. Finally, one thing I have to mention because it might be an issue is the following: they automatically turn off to save battery, in this case as soon as the connection with the mobile is lost, they don't reconnect until they are in range again and I had to put them in the case and take them out again. This always happens when you have them on standby for a call in your ear without using them. As soon as I turned it off, everything was fine, even if I turn off the Bluetooth, as soon as I turn it on again, it will connect.
Having previously owned the 1000xm3, two observations. Definitely inferior but reasonable due to the price. Secondly, they finally did something with the connection speed, which was painfully slow. The sound quality is very good. The call quality is below average if you have ANC on. If you turn it off, it improves significantly. Decent for its price.
The sound of the music is good. The problem is that the ambient sound must always be turned off in order for the interlocutor to hear you and for the microphones to occasionally wake up by changing the setting from the application. Two useless pairs. I wasted 130€ and they told me that they are not compatible with two of my phones from the company, the iPhone 11 and Samsung A53. And wherever they were tested, the same problem occurred. I have been suffering for 2 months, spending money on their transportation to the official SONY service several times, and after they realized that it is not a phone issue because the phones work with all the other headphones that were tested, while the Sony ones had the same problem on all the phones I tried them on, and the service admitted that it is an issue with the headphones and possibly the software. I asked them to send me any pair that is compatible and I am willing to pay the difference, they told me that the matter is closed from their side and I will not receive any further notification. IF IT IS POSSIBLE!!!! SONY headphones to NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH APPLE and SAMSUNG!!!
Apart from the fact that you need to have a university degree to understand the app, it disconnects while you are talking. If you have connected the headphones to two devices and think you can choose which device will be connected, you are mistaken. It can switch 5 times from one device to another within an hour for no reason at all. You have to search the internet to find out how each headphone works separately. The controls from the headphone are terrible... Especially for changing the volume... super ANC, good sound, but if it does things that even €30 headphones don’t do, what can I say. With the Nothing I had, I didn’t have such issues... I forgot to mention the case. It is made from recyclable materials, and it shows, mainly in texture, and it has a cheap feel. If it’s for the environment, okay, good for Sony. As long as this doesn’t affect the durability and sturdiness of the product. Because it doesn’t seem to me that the lid of the case will last long. I close it as gently as I can, and it still shuts abruptly. Let me say a couple of things about Bluetooth. I think it has 5.2, and if you go two rooms away, the connection is terrible. The Nothing, which have 5.2, might have a similar connection to the Sony if I went to the kiosk. Not 5.2, barely having 4... If after so many updates the final product is this... I have an iPhone and an Android device. The Alexa on one and the Google Assistant never worked properly, but I don’t know if I made some mistake, which is a bit unlikely...
Update: As for Bluetooth, the problem exists on iPhone. On Android, it works as it should. Also, the switching back and forth from one device to another, I suspect, is due to the iPhone. I’m not saying it will be terrible with iPhones, but if you have connected 2 devices, one Android and one iOS, you will probably have issues. As I said from the beginning, excellent sound and very good app and comfort. At €100, it’s definitely worth it; at €120, it’s relative. More than that, probably not... I hope I helped.
Update September 2024
So, here’s what I think about these specific headphones. ANC is quite good. Sound and comfort in the ear are superb. The case is fine and has withstood some falls.
Now, let’s get to the negatives...
Many times, people complained that they couldn’t hear me, but I might be at fault too.
Many disconnections for no reason...
For some reason, you can’t use one headphone at a time without issues. You have to go to the app and change a setting to use the other one.
The Google Assistant or Alexa never worked for me.
I lost one headphone relatively early, and because I was satisfied at first, I ordered the same ones again. After a while, both of them lost all functions, transparency, and active noise cancellation. I sent them back through Skroutz to the store where I bought them; they have a 2-year warranty, and they sent them back to me after they said they fixed them... the problem remained, and the fact that it happened to both means it’s not a coincidence. I just got tired of the service's nonsense and simply used them without those functions.
The updates are confusing, and I don’t know if I ever saw any improvement.
If you lose one headphone, forget the updates. If you lose the wrong headphone, the one you were using to listen, that’s it.
Battery... they say 6 hours... if they mean 3 from one headphone and 3 from the other, maybe they mean you can take them, wear them, and they last 6 hours, goodnight. And I’m talking about the simple mode; if you have ANC, goodbye.
I forgot to mention that they charge quite quickly, but the case is for two charges, if that.
Conclusion, there are some that you will love and quite a few that will annoy you. I haven't tried other brands to have an opinion, not on whether they are good but on whether they are worth the money. If you find them for 80-100 okay, I suppose they are worth it at 120... I don't know
I bought these specific headphones during the sales period and I can say that I am very satisfied. The sound they produce is amazing and they are nothing like the lower category headphones I had before. The only thing I would like to be better is their battery life. Anyone who buys them should do the latest update as it improves many things and also brings support for two devices at the same time
They are user-friendly, they don't tire after a long period of use, the sound is crystal clear, elegant, and above all, Sony!! Quality guarantee!!
