Sony LinkBuds S Review: Tiny Earbuds, Surprising Sound

So I've been living with the LinkBuds S for a while now, and I have some thoughts. Spoiler: there's a lot to like here, but it's not all perfect.

Sony LinkBuds S Review: Tiny Earbuds, Surprising Sound

So I've been living with the LinkBuds S for a while now, and I have some thoughts. Spoiler: there's a lot to like here, but it's not all perfect.

First Impressions

Right out of the box, the LinkBuds S looks decent for the price. Sony has clearly put thought into the unboxing experience. The build quality is solid and they're surprisingly comfortable.

The Good Stuff

Noise cancellation does its job. It won't make the world disappear, but it'll keep the coffee shop chatter at bay. Sound quality is really engaging. I found myself rediscovering tracks I'd heard a thousand times.

The Not-So-Good

The companion app could use some work — it's functional but not exactly intuitive.

Should You Buy Them?

They're a solid choice, especially if you value a good all-rounder that doesn't break the bank.
