Sony Linkbuds S

The Small, Lightweight, All-Day Comfortable Earbuds

The Sony LinkBuds S with its unique doughnut-shaped open design is arguably one of the smallest and lightest earbuds recently launched in the market. Promising all-day comfort, LinkBuds S comes with traditional noise cancelling, natural ambient sound, adaptive sound control and immersive sound quality. Sony is positioning LinkBuds S as the smartest wear-all-day gadget that knows how to suit the requirements of the user. But did the brand go overboard with the premium price tag of Rs 16,990 considering the already competitive TWS earbuds segment in the Indian market?

Or does the feature-rich earbuds are actually worth that price tag? Let's find out in our in-depth Sony LinkBuds S Review.

In The Box

Inside the product packaging box, we get the LinkBuds S safely tucked in its stylish carry case, four different sizes of earbuds tips for different ear shapes, and the USB-C type device charging cable.

Design and Finish

The first thing you notice about the Sony LinkBuds S is its small size and lightweight compact build. The brand developed a compact driver and used only one chip to integrate the Bluetooth Audio SoC (System on Chip) and high-quality noise cancelling processor to achieve the small-size headset design. It is at least 40% more compact than the last TWS earbuds Sony released. Just by looking at the name of the earbuds, one might assume that LinkBuds S is merely an updated version of the previous Sony headset named LinkBuds. However, LinkBuds S is a notably different product.

The design follows a more traditional approach by keeping a standard in-canal fit. The earpiece doesn't attract too much attention to itself when sitting in your ears, which is one of the best things about LinkBuds S.
