LinkBuds S

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. 

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)

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.

The Sony linkbuds S came out three years ago but they are solid with ANC.

Also the Sony linkbuds S are a good option for $150.

Heavy on the linkbuds s

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.
