Product details
Which colour do you choose?.Thanks to four premium colours - including the colour of the "blue marble", Earth Blue - you can give the headphones a personal touch. Of course with matching case.Small, light
and always comfortable.At approx. 4.8 g, the LinkBuds S are the lightest and smallest Hi-Res True Wireless headphones with noise cancelling in the world. With the compact driver and Bluetooth® Audio SoC (System on Chip) and a high-quality processor for noise cancelling on the same chip, they are also ultra-small. They are 40% smaller than the WF-1000XM4 headphones. Comfortable and secure, LinkBuds S fit perfectly with an ergonomic shape that fits the ear. We designed LinkBuds S with extensive ear shape data gathered since we introduced the world's first in-ear headphones in 1982. We also evaluated the sensitivity of different ear types for an ideal shape that is comfortable for many people.Transparent ambient noise or high-quality noise cancelling.These headphones are unbeatable in every way: They offer Sony's best transparent ambient noise in True Wireless headphones to interact with the world around you, and high-quality noise cancelling when you need to concentrate. LinkBuds S automatically switch between Ambient Sound mode and Noise Cancelling depending on where you are and what you're doing.Matches ambient noise to your activity for all-day wear.Intelligent Adaptive Noise Control senses where you are and what you're doing, and adjusts ambient sound settings accordingly for ideal listening pleasure. Over time, it learns your behaviour and recognises places you frequent, such as your workplace or regular café, and adjusts the sound to suit the environment.Sony's best call quality in True Wireless headphones.Precise Voice Pickup technology to control the outside and inside microphones and advanced audio signal processing ensure ultra-clear conversations in ambient noise. The noise reduction algorithm is developed with AI and machine learning from 500 million voice patterns and suppresses ambient noise - for clearly intelligible voices.

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...
Very good93/100
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.

- Innovative approach
- Perfect transparency mode
- Extensive setting options
- No ANC
- Short battery life
It is difficult to make a final judgement on the Sony LinkBuds. The Japanese developers once again prove their experience and their will to innovate. The sonic potential they have extracted from a driver with a large hole in the middle is absolutely remarkable. And the effect that you can hear the environment almost normally while wearing earphones is amazing.On the other hand, you also have to put...
- Sound rich in detail
- Com-pact and light (plug: 4
- 7 g)
- Very effective ANC
- Attachments can get stuck in the case
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.
