Product details
LinkBuds Open: The innovative ring driver of these in-ear headphones provides a unique listening experience. You can be completely aware of the world around you while listening to music or podcasts.
The ergonomic design fits comfortably in the ear, while the air cushion gives each in-ear headphone a secure fit. Weighing in at a feather-light 4.8g per earbud, the LinkBuds Open are ideal for all-day comfort and exercise.
Enjoy the balanced, first-class sound quality of the specially designed, ring-shaped 11 mm driver. Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) restores high-frequency elements lost during compression and enhances each track through upscaling.
With the easy-to-use equaliser in the headphone app, you can adjust the sound to suit your preferences.
The wireless headphones offer up to 22 hours of continuous playback (8 hours via headphones + 14 hours via the case). The quick-charging function enables a further hour of playback time in just 3 minutes.
Choose between three colours and five additional coloured protective covers (sold separately) to create your own individual look.
Multipoint Connection allows you to connect two Bluetooth devices simultaneously and switch seamlessly between them. There are also several user-friendly control options using taps, voice commands and the app on your smartphone.
The LinkBuds Open have an environmentally friendly design. The headphones and case are made from recycled plastic and the packaging is 100% plastic-free.

I would describe the LinkBuds from Sony as standard fare. The headphones work as they should and deliver a decent sound. However, in the now very saturated true wireless market, you can find better products for the same price - both in terms of sound, app and operation.
This test report belongs to a different type: LinkBuds Open (No noise cancelling, 8 h, Wireless)
