Spiegel TestsTrue-Wireless-HeadsetsReleaseApril 2024

This is how they sound: What I like about the Linkbuds S with my very differently shaped ears: they sit comfortably in both ears without pinching and don't get in the way even after hours due to their light weight. In terms of sound, they are not in the same class as the more expensive WF-1000XM4, but they are not far off...

Noble, high-quality, with extensive features and great sound: the Sony Linkbuds S position themselves among the best in-ear headphones only just below the company's own top model. It's a pity that Multipoint is missing, while the battery life is merely average.

The Sony Link-Buds S have a compact design but still have a lot going for them: good battery life, efficient active noise cancellation and a very comfortable fit. The Link-Buds S reproduce music clearly and in great detail. Only the bass lacks a little substance. The Sony Headphones Connect app is beyond reproach thanks to its many extras.

    The Sony LinkBuds S is priced well below the current top model from Sony, but offers the latest, innovative technologies, an effective active noise reduction, the best speech intelligibility and an absolutely convincing sound experience, also due to its 3D sound technology.
