I had 3 pairs of these and all 3 had battery issues. They work for 6-12 months and then one of the earbuds (usually the left) either dies almost instantly or after 15 minutes.
Sony linkbuds S, they are small enough with very good sound and the active noise cancellation is so good. Plus they are great sweat resistant. I have used them every single time at the gym and the noise have not changed at all
I have three Sony earbuds, the WF-1000XM4, WF-1000XM5 and Linkbud S. I really love my XM4's. The XM5 I got to test and they're not bad, but the NC has an annoying sound added to the ambient/transparency mode. So do the Linkbuds. Unfortunately Sony is crap and they have a major bug that causes the XM4's to drain battery. They replaced my battery (not even for free), but now the battery of my Linkbuds died too.
I'm looking for wireless in-ear earbuds with active NC and decent battery life (6+ hours with NC on), as I use them all day at work to not hear the annoying, loud sounds my coworkers make. Think vacuum cleaner sounds loud. it needs to support multipoint connection (connect to 2 devices at the same time). I like the adjustability of the earbuds in the app (create different sound profiles) and transparency/ambient mode (without the stupid sound added), so would like something similar if possible. Also no crazy colours, black will do just fine. Price-wise I'm willing to pay for quality, but looking in similar price range of the Sony earbuds (< 300€). Should be available in the Netherlands.
#I'm looking for specific models and personal experiences, not just brand recommendations. Thanks.
Looks like they fairly new, I'm guessing a chart from the last 4 months would rate them much higher. I see people talking about them in here all the time.
I put em on my Amazon list because of all the talk, and me giving up on Sony after my Link Buds S died after only a year--loved them, such a pity about the crap battery and lack of action from Sony.
yep, I used to be die hard Sony for a long time. I looked up the latest Sony and thought I be would be happy, but my Link buds s died in a year. all sorts of people with the same issue and nothing being done about it. I'm done with them.
Hi everybody!
I bought the Denon PerL Pro a few months ago for €150 and I’ve really been enjoying them—great value at that price. I purchased them alongside the Sony LinkBuds S, but I felt the Denons sounded better (I listen to all kinds of music, with a focus on progressive house and electronic), so I returned the LinkBuds S.
That said, I’m tempted to pick up the LinkBuds S again as a second pair because they were so comfortable that I barely felt them in my ears.
I love the Denons, but their size makes them less comfortable for long sessions. Is there an alternative that beats the LinkBuds S in both sound and comfort?
Also, which earbuds would you recommend that improve on the Denon PerL Pro at a reasonable price?
Thanks in advance!
I use the ones included. They fit well in my ear, but the weight/size of the DPP makes them less comfortable than the Linkbuds S. I was really impressed because the Linkbuds S felt like if I wasn’t wearing any earbuds at all. Still love the DPP, but maybe I’ll buy the Linkbuds S again since they felt so well in my ears.
I tried the Linkbuds S again and compared to the Denon Perl Pro (been using them like a year), the sound quality doesn’t stand up, the DPP are far superior. I was tempted to try the Soundpets H3, but I’ve been advised that they can’t compare to the Denon in sound quality. Bang for the buck maybe, but not so good in sound quality as the DPP. Anyway, I just bought them on Amazon and will give them a try.
I want something that really improves the DPP in sound quality, and even the Technics AZ100, even being more expensive, doesn’t seem to defeat the DPP.
I use them mostly at the beach and listening to EDM. Progressive underground house is my favourite, things like Hudrology by Glenn Morrison. Which is in your opinion the best audio quality earbud around the $200/$350 price range?

Apple-integrated, great ANC, but fit issues & poor Windows support.
