LinkBuds Fit Truly Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbud Headphones, Black

After many years of searching I found exactly what I was looking for: comfort, ease of use, great sound, and great ANC. To be honest I am not an audiofile and I honestly never found earbuds that quite fit me and was satisfied with until now. So take that into consideration. Let me start. The Link buds are comfortable! So much so you may need to check from time to time they are still in your ear. The rubber horn on the end is hallow and is what keeps the bud in your ear. Once you wedge this horn correctly the link buds stay in your ear! I have never had ear buds that could stay in my ear like this. Not even Will Ferrell listening to "what is love" can knock these things out! The Link buds fit has great active noise canceling! I went to a carnival last night and the anc was amazing. I was able to clearly hear the music while a live band was playing, while standing next to the loud carnival rides, and hear the music clearly even in the crowds. No matter where I was at I could clearly hear the music. I even tested out audio books and yt. No issues hearing the words. I do have to mention i had to install the Sony sound connect app on my phone to get ANC to work. Audio quality when listening to music was clear and the bass was strong (another thing that can be adjusted in sound connect). Update: no issues listening to music or podcasts on a bus. Some negative points: The price. These earbuds are more exepnsive then majority of the competition but considering what the Link bud fit provides, I consider it completely worth it since they would be great for commuting, exercising, or just about anything. Not good if your with your family at the carnival when they are trying to talk to u. 😉. Not really a fan of how it pairs with devices, the button is on the case. That's it for now. I may update my review at a later date, good or bad. For now my first impression is that this is a definite buy!

I compared three earbuds in the same bracket: - Sony LinkBuds Fit - Bose QuietComfort Ultra - Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4 Sony LinkBuds Fit 🟊☆☆☆☆ The tap controls are highly unreliable. When tapping a bus twice (carefully, directly on the earbud), it might register zero taps, one tap, or two taps. Thus, your two taps will randomly do nothing, pause the music, or skip the track. Frustrating. I perceived no improvement on sound quality over my old $50 Anker Space A40s. Furthermore, Sony's setup app is malware: it hides among the legal agreements an "Agree" to data sharing. I don't know what Wirecutter is smoking; I liked nothing about these. Bose QuietComfort Ultra 🟊🟊🟊☆☆ I was so close to loving these. The noise cancelling is incredible. The "Immersive Mode" brings music to life in a way I hadn't experienced with earbuds. However, the deal killer was that the earbuds would disconnect from my phone every few minutes. This is apparently a common issue. Additionally, the tap controls are better than Sony's, but still bad: you're supposed to slide your finger along it to change the volume, but this often registers as a tap. All this said, you might nevertheless want to try these with your phone and cross your fingers that they can stay connected, because the noise cancelling and sound is that good. If they work for you, you've won the lottery, and you're a lucky bastard. Odds are, though, it will be glitchy and unreliable for you, too. Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4 🟊🟊🟊🟊🟊 Great, reliable tap controls. Noise cancelling and sound is not quite as good as the Bose QuietComfort, but still sounds great. Stays connected. Doesn't force you to use a crappy app. Comfortable. Has a premium look to it. Ultimately, you want earbuds that sound good, stay connected, and aren't frustrating to use. This is it.

I bought these in “very good” condition. Came in a plain generic box but came with a charging cable and all the tips. I bought these to alternate with my Beats Fit Pro when I workout. I was not expecting much but WOW, I forgot that Sony made quality earbuds. The app is awesome, very useful. I love that they greet you after you put them on “good morning” “good afternoon” etc.. and proceed with the date. Also tells you the time every hour. “It’s three o clock pm” and so on. The sound is the best part. Very balanced and crisp. They are very very lightweight and fit comfortably in your ear so much that you forget you’re wearing them. Sony hit a home run with these. I’m so impressed I’m gonna start buying more Sony earbuds in the future. If I had to choose between my beats fit and my Linkbuds fit, I’ll choose these. Oh, you don’t need to tap the actual earbud, you can tap below and around your ear instead. How cool is that? The app has so many cool features, too much to list here. The case is so tiny, like tiny tiny, I just wish Amazon or anyone would make a hard shell case for it with a carabiner. I just carry it in a generic pouch that came with other earbuds(but no carabiner). I don’t like the soft silicone ones. The ANC isn’t anything special but it’s a workout earbud so total noise cancellation isn’t a good idea. This also has transparency mode. These are the perfect workout/jogging earbuds. Get them used if you can, save some of your hard earned money

These ear buds are some of the most frustrating buds I've ever used. The touch controls only sometimes work. I feel like I'm beating my head trying to turn the volume down somedays. The quality is good sound wise, the battery life is also competitive with other buds in this price range and I like the wing tips to keep them in my ears. The general experience though is so miserable and I would not buy them again or recommend them to anyone.

Amazing ANC. The sense of isolation one gets is uncanny. I seriously thought my engine had died. These became the standard to which all other ANC is not judged and found lacking. However... the tap command controls are sketchy. Inconsistent registering, and inflexible configuration. Why can't I program all functions, like I could on 3 yr old LG TF8Q's?? The sony app is also married to pay sub apps, which has zero support, or even awareness of YT-music. That was the last straw. I returned them after 3 days. I still miss the ANC and bass, but couldn't live with the items I listed above.

I bought these because as of early 2025 The Wirecutter said they were going to be the new top pick. But I'm returning them after three days. The sound quality is fine, and they fit great. But the noise cancelling doesn't work well (still plenty of noise, there was a whistling sound from the left ear, and PA announcements cut through loudly). The auto-location feature for noise cancellation was very distracting, switching modes at the wrong time for no apparent reason. Tapping controls are not intuitive, and I had to use the app to switch modes. Even still, tapping to answer or hang up a call worked only about half the time. Plus, when I blow my nose while wearing them, they stop entirely (maybe it thought that was some sort of audible command to pause?). So these are not going to be my go-to headphones, especially when there are other great ones for less than a third of the price.

Love these! They fit great but weak when using the noise canceling feature, the speakers will bust if you're around loud sounds. SUPER WEAK! They didn't take long to break! Sounds really good tho! And comfy!!! I just wish they weren't so delicate.

This is a great set of headphones. I was looking for something small that would work for my workouts and these tick all the boxes. They're so comfortable when wearing them, you don't even remember that you have them on. Other workout headphones have tips and clips so that it stays on your ear, but the small silicone tips do the job so well and they're so soft. The noise cancelling works well but it won't give you pin drop silence since they don't plug into your ears and seal them shut. I'm more than happy with that because that's what I wanted. I don't want to have to take them out or put in awareness mode. They connect easily to my Pixel phone, tablet and PC, plus they have multipoint so I can connect them to two devices at the same time and easily switch back and forth. The sound is great and you have the EQ to adjust as your preference. I was looking everywhere for headphones that I can wear all day, that are comfortable and don't easily fall out and these are perfect for that.

Excellent earbuds, I bought many ear buds including Bose ultra earbuds but this Sony linkbuds is secure in ear and brilliant sound. My choice is satisfying listening it.

Returned, the wings were to small for my ears, perhaps with different wing sizes it would work. Beats fitness pro works better for me, the wings are long enough

La verdad son audífonos muy buenos un sonido exelente, cancelacion de ruido buena pero no creo que sea la mejor que he probado pero ya con musica no se escucha nada, el unico problema que tengo es que las alas no son tan grandes como me gustarian pero sin embargo aun son muy comodos y nunca he tenido problema al usarlos, responden bien y tienen una buena duracion de bateria pero no son para úsarlos todo el dia 9 de 10

Qualidade de som é ótima. Sem reclamações nesse ponto. Porém.... Primeiro, o encaixe: as eartips sao moles e não dao suporte algum. São mais enfeito do que qualquer outra coisa. ANC (Cancelamento ativo de ruído): Péssimo, desabilitei todas a configurações de identificar voz e que desabilitam o ANC. Porém, mesmo configurado, vc ainda ouve MUITO as vozes a sua volta. Na academia é melhor deixar o ANC desativado, pois bloqueia mais som do que com ele ligado. Só pra ter referencia, meu fone JBL Relect Flow, antigo ja, tem um cancelamento de ruido infinitamente melhor. Eu quero ANC pra não ouvir gente falando na academia, pra não ouvir a musica que está na academia. Se eu quiser ouvir as pessoas a minha volta, eu não uso um maldito fone com ANC. E na academia tive que ficar reajustando o fone no ouvido o tempo todo. Então é um combo da irritação, fone caindo e ANC que vaza som de gente falando. Comparado ao XM5, o Linkbuds parece um white label que a Sony botou a marca e saiu vendendo. Enfim, se vc quer um fone com qualidade de som e vc não tem problema de encaixe desse tipo de fone no ouvido, eu indicaria ir direto pro XM5. Mesmo preço e tem um ANC melhor.

Put them in, and now I play all the music I never used. Small and light, with a perfect fit, and the sound makes me smile every time. The noise cancelling works fine, and Bluetooth behaves most of the time, except when I wander too far, like four to seven meters. The best part is that they switch between my devices automatically, like they somehow know what I want to listen to. The overall feeling is so good that I forgive every little thing and just keep listening again and again.
