"Even in noisy environments like busy streets or around screaming kids, no one on the other end of a call hears the background noise, and I can hear them clearly."

"Microphone isn't all that good ... can randomly sound like I'm speaking in a toilet or a room with echo and voice isolation is not good, there is too much background pickup."
"I get told I sound like I'm in a empty hall. Lots of background noise etc."
"The wind noise is still there (significantly reduced with ANC on and high volume but still there)"

"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."
"batteries went out so I had to get something else"

r/Earbuds • Any earbuds better than Sony LinkBuds S for call quality in the budget-mid range? ->I’ve got the same issue and I’m choosing the right model too. Here are options that match what you’re looking for: JLab JBuds Mini — among the tiniest (~3.3 g per bud); often a great fit for smaller ears. No ANC, but the ultra-compact shell means you’re unlikely to get rubbing. Soundcore A20i — very small (~25 × 19 × 16 mm, ~5.2 g per bud); comfy and inexpensive. No ANC, but they tend to fit almost any ear. Sony LinkBuds S (WF-LS900N) — lightweight (~4.8 g per bud) and one of the most comfortable with real ANC; small, rounded housing. If you want a quality sound + secure seal, this is the safest “premium” pick. Alternative: Sony LinkBuds Fit (WF-LS910N) — even more comfort-oriented. The Air Fitting Supporters distribute contact inside the outer ear (no hooks; they don’t interfere with glasses). If your left concha (the bowl of your outer ear) is very small, these can help spread pressure away from sensitive spots. (~4.9 g per bud). Sony WF-C700N / C710N — light (~4.6 g per bud on C700N), designed for small ears; ANC is decent. WF-C710N is the 2025 refresh with improved ANC/touch controls. Samsung Galaxy Buds2 — very small, rounded capsule; comfortable with good sound and competent ANC. (Not the FE.) ~5.0 g per bud; 17.0 × 20.9 × 21.1 mm.
r/Earbuds • HELP no earbuds fit my tiny ears ->Beats have always been crap, I've never had one pair that has lasted or even sound good. Sony all the way, I've been using my S-linkbuds for three years now with zero issues.
r/gadgets • Sony WF-C710N review: More than midrange ->I still use the Comfobuds as my keep in the pocket pair, for the comfort, unobtrusiveness, and speed of connection after removing them from the case. They have developed an issue where sometimes they'll wake up inside their case and connect to my phone when I don't want them to. For my home listening I use a pair of Soundpeats Air buds. The music quality is better and being open air I still feel "present" in the room and can sing along without sounding weird. My work pair is now some Linkbuds S. They have good call and music quality and really excellent active and more importantly passive noise isolation, along with low latency mode I can game with. Their downside is they stick out a bit far from my ears. I tried Bose QC 2s and hated them.
r/Earbuds • Best buds for tiny ear holes? ->I have two trusty pairs. 1. Sony WH-1000XM4 - Over-Ear and very nicely adjustable in the App. 2. Sony Linksbuds S - In Ear and my go-to when i leave the house. They always sit in my backpack and are my daily-driver when i use trains or busses. Also i rather like to use Loops Earplugs in the meantime. When i really need it to be as quiet as possible i also double up and use Loops while putting my Over-Ears on top. Saved me a few times when i got very overstimulated without a possibility to leave fast.[](https://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/200278049_-wh-1000xm4-sony.html#reviews)
r/ADHD • Noise-cancelling headphone recommendations? ->Linkbud S are my all time favorite
r/Earbuds • Best earbuds for daily workout and/or work use ->Link buds s was my best until it died due to bateery drain and went to liberty 4 NC and never looked back at ear buds these pairs are wonderful
r/Earbuds • Best Wireless Earbuds For Every Budget (From $30 to $300)? ->What do you think about the WF XM5? I’m thinking of pulling the trigger. Just lost my Link Buds S and I was a huge fan.
r/Earbuds • Best Sound Quality Earbuds in 2024? (Higher budget) ->Have been using linkbud s. It was awesome, great ANC, clear sound and heavy base. But it was pricey, 200 SGD. I bought it 2 years ago. Then my wife accidentally threw it. So I started researching, and saw so many people recommending earfun air pro 4, people was saying the sound quality is crazy good for its price. So I bought it from Lazada for RM 270. Fucking garbage. I shouldn't have wasted my RM 270. So if I were you, just spend good money on a good pair of earphone/headphone, and enjoy it. Don't go cheap, not worth it. Btw, I still have my Sony wh-1000 MX 2 headphone, I bought it for RM 1200 around 6 years back. And I'm still using it until now, and it is working great.
r/Bolehland • Are headphones RM100+ really worth it? ->I’m happy with my Sony link bud s
r/Earbuds • Best sport/gym earbuds? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
