These are the best buds I have owned. Their size is perfect, very compact and comfortable. The sound quality is amazing, they managed to produce plenty of bass despite the smaller drivers. The Sony App makes a great set of buds even better. Highly recommended for anyone who wants something similar to the XM4s in a smaller package.

I have had 3 pairs of these the first 2 were popping and crackling then started to whistle it was not pleasant but I found that they are very sensitive to air pressure and need a tight seal they are everything I want from an earphone the sound is great and the speak to chat is perfect for my needs so I tolerate the issues because they are so good

Best earbuds for working out and calls I love them no issues at all I would definitely recommend

First and foremost, this new pair of noise-cancelling true wireless earbuds ditches the inconsistent open design for a closed one that enables much better audio quality. They also offer above-average active noise cancellation (ANC), a feature the original model lacked entirely. This leads to a higher price, albeit one that's more in line with the features and performance you get. But while the LinkBuds S are undoubtedly an improvement over the regular LinkBuds, Jabra's Elite 7 Pro earphones offer comparable sound quality and ANC performance, along with longer battery life and a fully waterpoof design, making them our Editors' Choice.A Decidedly Improved Design Available in black (more of a graphite) or white, the LinkBuds S are covered in a grainy, but not rough, matte material, ...

Sony's true wireless LinkBuds S earphones deliver good sound quality and noise cancellation in a much more effective design than previous pair, but they don't quite outshine the rest of the competition.
