I like them alot actually. They fast charge. Wireless charge. 12hours per charge and 50 hours total charge with case. App customize. Overall small form factor. Awesome clarity out of the box with audio. For 30 dollars? I'm surprised. So Yeah, I really like them.
I bought the Linkbuds S, but I was very disappointed. The Bluetooth connection drops constantly while walking around with my phone in my pocket. I switched to the Edifier Neo Buds Pro 2 which do not have many features, but their sound and noise cancelling is just as good, and they work great.
Dying for some help here. I had the Sony MDR-XB55. PERFECT for the $55 🇨🇦 price tag. Absolutely LOVED them. Great bass and the volume goes high enough that I actually have to turn it slightly down. I’ve bought about 7 of them over the years and now they’ve 🤬 discontinued them! Unbelievable. So I bought their WI-C100 figuring they’d be at least as good but probably better. But noooooo. The max volume isn’t loud enough and the bass is disappointing. That’s my long winded way of asking, do you think I should get the 500’s or 700’s, or wait for the 510’s? PS: don’t care about noise cancellation.
@@oshakiegittens4887 Personally I love them, but they've got to be right for you. They are great if I want to casually listen to something at work or at the grocery store. Their sound quality leaves something to be desired but in my opinion so do all wireless earbuds (that I've tried). I think they are a great secondary set if you've got a nice wired pair of headphones/iems with better sound quality. One last thing is if you're looking to get a pair either buy second-hand or wait for the price to drop cause $180 isn't worth it for the LinkBuds in my opinion.
I wonder if sony will continue to make audiophile iems and headphones since they acquired audeze. Maybe the sony name with the audeze sound signature with a newer pair of iems and headphones. Samsung acquired harman audio years ago and harman kardon is what got me into audio and exploring with a variety of different brands of audiophile pair of headphones.
@@santhoshkumarr1577the app allows you to adjust the equalizer. I like a good bass with some treble up there. And I have it custom to how I like it. I think as long as you’re not expecting the best bass you’ve ever had, they do a good job and are satisfactory
Sony Pulse Explore's blew my mind. Honestly was not prepared for how great they sound.. especially after the garbage Sony Inzone Buds. Though I highly, highly recommend changing tips to something like the Azla Max. If they didn't look so daft, I'd wear them over my QCII, APP2, MTW3, XM4 etc.
I've got the TOZO Golden X1s right now, but if I were to go for a Sony earbud, it would definitely be the Linkbud S. The regular Linkbuds don't make any sense to me, and the XM5s just haven't gotten positive reviews from most of the earbud reviewers I listen to.
Funny that Link buds s are WF-1000MX4 in every way just modified. I disagree with your number 3 pick of the pulse earbuds. The amount of cons you listed don't justify it being 3rd place. Especially when the Inzone are a better choice in latency, sound and better design which is based off wf-1000MX3. Only con is usbc adapter. But pulse is originally designed for the Playstation Portal.
Bro ,We blue collar guys need some wireless neckband style, so we can just take it out and let dangle when not needed need replacement for sony xb400. Need that base.
I want to use linkbuds s with my windows 7 laptop but someone told me I won't be able to pair them because they require A2DP technology which is not available in Windows 7 Is that correct??
Link buds s are the best from Sony for calls , but someone has stolen my ones unfortunately. Now im looking for upgrade, but I'm 5 are terrible, so l.b.s are only option but maybe I try Huawei buds pro 3
I stole the Xm5s for $30 dollars in the used market, the case became defective, so I sent to Sony and the sent me some brand new ones in the box at no cost. Sony Gang Gang!!!
I love the link buds s.. but I've had 4 different pairs and every after a few weeks every single time the right earbud starts making loud wind noise when i use anc... totally sucks...unusable in anc mode and useless to me sadly..
Except the XM4s are big and uncomfortable (I had them and sold them) Linkbuds S are the only earbuds I've ever been able to side sleep with all night, extremely versatile sound with the app's EQ, noise cancelling is good enough for me (I've had Bose QC2 so know the difference) and with the last firmware update there's controls for everything including volume. I wish I'd bought them sooner.
You are right, a sport headphone or earbuds. I still own a Sony Walkman NW-WS623 and for everyday gym/running workout are awesome.
The link bud s are fliping great! I bought them as a gift and i think they were well received.
I hope they put that planar driver into a more typical tws
Sony IER Z1R is their best sounding bud to date but $1600 is a tough ask
Definitely like my LinkBuds S, great fit although I don't use the stock eartips, and great noise cancelling and sound.
Which eartips do u use?
@@beastfulrory3 AZLA crystal, comfortable and don't wiggle out of my ears if I move around, which is an issue on other ear tips for me.
@@Agent311Any difference in sound with the Azla crystals? They're wide bore aren't they as opposed to the Sony tips?
Hi gamesky ! What do you recommend for best sound quality the wf1000xm3 or the wf C700?
Save money , get the W700, great sound.
Great option.
I've been using some 30 dollar cheap buds lately. The newly designed tozo t6 upgraded 2023 models.
How do you like them?
I like them alot actually.
They fast charge.
Wireless charge.
12hours per charge and 50 hours total charge with case.
App customize.
Overall small form factor.
Awesome clarity out of the box with audio.
For 30 dollars? I'm surprised.
So Yeah, I really like them.
Jvc marshmallow also
I’m wearing my old but trusty Sony whxm03 headphones. They’re still going strong, sound good and great as ear mufflers outdoors.

Sony has a decent lineup, Thank you for posting Keith !
I agree with your list completely. I own 3 out of 6. Yeah I would like to see some sort of sport buds with their lineup.
Which ones are closest to now discontinued wired MDR-XP55?
They did release sport earphones, Float Run Open-Ear Wireless Headphones, though they're hard to find.
Dying for some help here. I had the Sony MDR-XB55. PERFECT for the $55 🇨🇦 price tag. Absolutely LOVED them. Great bass and the volume goes high enough that I actually have to turn it slightly down.

I just bought wf c 700... and for the size and the fact that it's cheaper then my Link Buds S... I actually favor the 7s.
Me watching this video wearing the LinkBuds 🥺
👌
How is it ? I really want to buy these bur these reviewers.......

Thanks for sharing this list. Blessings on your day.
Wouldn't the linkbuds s be outdated soon? It has been about 2 years since the release
Absolutely love my Link buds S.
how is the bass effect i want good basseffect

How are female vocals on them compared to your other TWS? I'd consider getting them just for that.

There was a battery drain software issue right? I want the Linkbuds s to, is it been solved? Can someone help me out? 😬

Linkbuds are underrated.
For few month i been thinking about buying Linkbuds S in 2024, or waiting for mark 2 if it will be released this year
IF.. but if you decide to do for linkbuds s, know you will not regret
@@lcd284 yeah, I'm waiting for may. Sony announced linbuds s in may 2022. Hope they'll do the same this year
Hola, estoy completamente de acuerdo!! Saludos
10:50 😁😁😁
Great video
Linkbuds S at number 1? Haha yeah nah the XM4s blow it out of the water and with all the sales coming. The XM4s make this earbuds redundant.
Except the XM4s are big and uncomfortable (I had them and sold them) Linkbuds S are the only earbuds I've ever been able to side sleep with all night, extremely versatile sound with the app's EQ, noise cancelling is good enough for me (I've had Bose QC2 so know the difference) and with the last firmware update there's controls for everything including volume. I wish I'd bought them sooner.
They are my daily driver but I find their sound rather dull
Wanted to replace my xm4's with 5's but now that I see them, I think I'll go with Bose. Looks like sony cheaped out on the 5's. No thanks.
Definitely agree here
Hell yea 😎
Software app is garbage.. Doesn't let you actually customize the controls. End of story.
Stop hyping the LinkBuds S. They suck in sound and ANC compared to the flagship XMs
Naahh, the S is just amazing ! Much better than the XMs ..sorry if you have a XM…😂
Awesome
💕🙏
