"Out of all the buds I tested and tried the least obtrusove ones and probably the most comfortable ones for me personally were the Sony Linkbuds S ones. ... They are small and somehow shaped to fit weird ears."

"I prefer the sound on the Sony Link buds S. ... To me the linkbuds have a richer sound ... and as someone who listens to a lot of different music they handle everything I throw at them."
"the sound quality ... was on point. ... me personally would trade battery life over sound quality and comfort any day."
"But the Sonys have way more bass and you can tune them with the eq."

"I got my linkbud s for 55€. ... main factor is still the cost of the equipment."
"The Sonys are about 120 Euro. And the AirPods are 270 Euro. I think it’s a no brainer to buy the Sonys."

"batteries went out so I had to get something else"
"left earbud battery zeroes after 15 minutes"
"Linkbuds S are great until the batteries go bad on them. ... ONE MONTH after the warranty ended, the batteries started draining faster than usual. ... Now the right bud lasts for 1 hour, and the left bud lasts for 5 MINUTES. ... Needless to say, I do not recommend the Linkbuds and my next pair of earbuds will not be from Sony."

"However the Bluetooth connection is abysmal. ... Constant audio drops and glitches and pops. ... I've adjusted every conceivable setting, priority to stable, AAC instead of LDAC etc.... but it's just shit."
"I’ve had some Sony link buds s before that did pretty much the same thing. ... whenever im outside the audio cuts out or glitches. ... Most of the time this is on the aware mode. But i realized the other day that it happens on noise cancellation aswell. Less often but still happens. ... It’ll cut out with the slightest noise ( like the wind is barely blowing or a car drive by) ... I’m not even in that noisy of an environment. For example a single car will go by like every 10 minutes or so. ... Just getting fed up with the audio cutting out for a second or 2."
"with the sony the multipoint is hit & miss (unreliable)"

"my clients can't hear me when I'm walking."
"I get told I sound like I'm in a empty hall. Lots of background noise etc."
