Sony
The Sony LinkBuds S are ultra‑light (4.8 g per earbud) truly wireless earbuds that combine a compact 40% smaller design with Integrated Processor V1 for active noise cancellation and Hi‑Res audio support via LDAC. They offer Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, IPX4 splash resistance, and a pocket‑sized charging case weighing 35 g, but battery life is limited to about 6 hours with ANC on and the case lacks wireless charging.

Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the LinkBuds S for setting a new benchmark in weight and comfort, noting the 4.8 g earbuds feel almost weightless and the Integrated Processor V1 provides respectable ANC for such a small device. They also highlight the clear, detailed sound from the 5 mm driver and the convenience of Alexa integration, while criticizing the modest 6‑hour battery life with ANC and the lack of wireless charging as shortcomings for a premium offering.
What Users Say
Everyday users repeatedly praise the ultra‑light feel, pocket‑sized case, and secure fit provided by the four ear‑tip sizes, describing the earbuds as comfortable for all‑day wear and suitable for workouts thanks to IPX4 resistance. The most common complaints revolve around the limited battery life, absence of wireless charging, and occasional fit issues that can diminish bass response and ANC effectiveness for smaller ears.
Common Complaints
Short battery life (≈6 h with ANC), no wireless charging on the case, and fit inconsistencies that can affect bass response and noise isolation for smaller ear canals.
What People Are Saying
