A GLANCE
DRIVERS - 12mm-wide ring-shaped
BATTERY LIFE - 5.5 hours / 12 hours (with case)
CONNECTIVITY - Bluetooth 5.2
RESISTANCE - IPX4
WEIGHT - 4.1G
They are called the LinkBuds and the entire bud actually looks like a ring attached to a small pod. The ring portion houses a specially designed ring-shaped driver while the pod houses the battery and electronics. It also has an IPX4 water resistance rating so it's splash-proof and sweat-resistant.
The LinkBuds are tiny and light. Each earbud weighs just 4g and this helps with wearing comfort. Getting a good fit, however, can be tricky because they require some practice to wear properly. Sony provides five sizes of wingtips: extra small, small, medium, large, and extra-large.
Using the medium wingtips, I was able to get a perfect fit. It was snug enough that it didn’t fall out even when I was running and jumping. And yet at no point did it feel uncomfortable. It felt just right. Some users have commented that no matter which tip they used and how hard they tried to wear the LinkBuds, they couldn’t get it to fit right and that the earbuds would slowly slip out from their ears. I highly urge you to go down to a Sony store to try them on for yourselves.
