Sony LinkBuds Fit – Truly Wireless Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Earbuds - All Day Comfort, IPX4, Hi-Res Audio, Ambient Sound Mode, 21Hrs Battery Life, Multipoint Connection, iOS & Android - Black

Please check out my edit at the bottom of this review!These just arrived today, so after I set up the basics, the first thing I did was take them down the gym for a workout!Not bad at all.I have a small ear canal, and therefore the extra small tips are great - and while I am aware of them in my ear, they don't feel too tight and the wingtip doesn't rub - they are actually really soft, so I suspect long term use will warrant a replacement.They are a bit tricky to position at first, but I expect to get used to that in time - they didn't fall out during any of my cardio or weight training efforts.The fit in my left ear felt slightly better than my right, but that's clearly more to do with my biology than anything Sony got wrong.The ANC is more than acceptable, although not as good as that on my larger over-the-ear headphones. The overall sound quality is superb.In a quietish room they'll be great, but in a gym, the ANC won't completely drown out their music until you put your own sounds on.Remembering the tapping sequence is a bit tricky - I keep turning off the ANC - again, this will take some getting used it.The new app is a bit confusing and I'm still not completely clear on all the operational functions, however I guess that's just a learning curve for me.After many years of looking for the perfect sports earbud, I think this is the best so far.EDIT: After a little bit of use, I've noticed that the connection occasionally drops - mainly when I'm in the gym. When this happens, I need to either reconnect via the app or put them back into the charging case.This might be a glitch that can be sorted out with an update, but if it persists, I will be contacting Sony.

Worth the price with great smooth sound and a helpful app to control, but it's not without its flaws.The app sometimes closes itself and where it's link to the touch sensitive buds, it means that alot of the time the touch won't work.Also a few months in the noise cancellation feature bugged in one of the ears and is now very sensitive to bass sounds, making it nearly unusable.Keeping on it's default setting and sometimes using the spacial feature when walking around makes it more than satisfactory.

I have used these earbuds for 5 months now and I haven’t had any problems with them. The sound quality is brilliant and I bought them to replace an old pair of AirPods Pro. The sound quality is great and you can adjust your audio tastes if you download the app. The noise cancelling is good for the price and it effectively blocks out my heaving stomping and motor/belt of my treadmill whilst I’m running. People report hearing me clearly and accurately when I use the ear buds for meetings and video calls. The colour is beautiful and I enjoy the mini cube shaped charging case. The earbuds can produce very loud sound, the battery life is great and I’ve never run out of battery (I use between 4-6 hours and day). They’re very easy to pair and use. The winged tip fits perfectly in my ears and they haven’t fallen out during running, weight lifting or tennis! It’s clear to say they’re extremely secure once in properly. I would buy these again over AirPods any day. Sony have always made quality products at decent prices.

Absolutely loved these at first. Found the noise cancelling great and also calls were crisp and clear. Looked great and never had any problemsFast forward 9 months and the right earbud keeps losing sound. 1 minute its ok the next its muffled, then it just doesnt work at all!.Very disappointed to say the least. I have returned them back to Sony to be repaired but would of thought these would have lasted longer. Especially for the price i paid which was £130. Now left with no earbuds.

Comfortable and decent sound quality when ANC is Off. But ANC is ineffectual, only slightly muting office noise and it's determental to the sound quality (horrible phasing effect). As for the touch controls, they are barely functional even on the highest setting.

I bought these airbuds as a replacement for my first-generation Beats Fit Pros, so that’s my point of comparison for this review.Positives:- The earbuds fit very well, with the little rubber “wings” keeping them securely in my ears even when I’m exercising. The rubber wings feel more sturdy than the ones on the Beats Fit Pro.- Sound quality seems good to me. But I only listen to podcasts (rarely to music), and usually with only one bud in at a time.- The microphone also works well for calls (the microphone in the Beats Fit Pros was useless).However, I have quite a lot of frustrations with these earbuds:- They take a long time to connect to my phone or computer when I take them out of the case and put them in my ear. Sometimes they just fail to connect at all, and I have to spend a frustrating couple of minutes putting them in and taking them out of the case until they succeed.- They are useless at recognising when I've taken them out of my ear: they rarely stop playing when I remove them.- I also find it very difficult to get them to recognise the double-tap gesture to start or stop playing. Since the earbuds don’t recognise when I remove them from my ears and I can’t reliably double tap, the only way I have to pause playing when I want to talk to someone is to get my phone out. I really miss the physical button from the Beats Fit Pro.- I get lots of false positives with the voice assistant (it thinking I’m talking to it when I’m not), so had to switch it off. Also, it’s just weird that I have to say “play music" instead of just "play”, given that I’m rarely listening to music.- There are various features that sound impressive but which are useless in reality, such as the "adaptive sound control" - and it's complicated figuring out how to switch them all off. I haven't really understood what "ambient sound" is supposed to do, but it seems to just amplify noises around me (with a lot of added hissing): I'm not sure why this would be useful, except to people who are hard of hearing.- I like the idea of the “speak to chat” function: it’d be great if playback would pause when I’m talking to someone else. But instead this seems to activate “ambient sound”, meaning lots of hissing in my ears.- The feature to send a notification to my phone when the battery level in the case would be useful. But I get these notifications all the time, sometimes even while the case is currently charging.- The iOS app seems unnecessarily complicated.- The case is an odd shape: it feels quite bulky in my pocket.Overall, the experience of using these earbuds is just too frustrating for me to recommend them to anyone else.

Been dodging this sort of tech for a while as I though it would "fall ot of my ears" and "not last as long as my bone conducting headphones" but wow.One ear piece last over 4 hours continuous play back, while running roads, trails, tread etc. When it dies on the extended runs, pop the other one in and you are good for another 4 hours. And the superlight albeit akward shaped (but fits in my running vest) case will recharge the one you pop back in.Audio pass through via mics, is a little disorientating when running by roads with massive trucks or heavy traffic compared to bone conducting, but my shockz and sunnto wing don't make it past 3 hours. 2.5H at best.Music quality is is also great.ALso way cheaper than Sonys flagship in-ears. If trying to choose between, go for these.

After my Apple AirPods fell out constantly I tried beats fit. The sound was atrocious. I then tried Sony ULT which was amazing sound but too bulky. So I thought I'd give these a whirl. Whilst my ears don't have a low enough groove for the hook they still stay in with the hook pushing on the back inner ear. Great sound and finally some inconspicuous earbuds. Bass is good.

I've now had two pairs of these, one bought here, on Amazon, both with the exact same failing. In short, when you take these out on the street, the sound randomly cuts out, primarily in the right ear. Used with a Samsung Galaxy S25 and updated to the latest LinkBuds firmware, 1.3.2. Both in LDAC and AAC modes. Equally with streamed content and music stored locally on the phone. I also tried changing (turning off) all (power saving etc) settings in the Sony app to no avail.Interestingly, when you use the transparency mode (without content playing), this also cuts out from time to time, again primarily in the right channel. I even found a way to reproduce this deliberately. When operating a house alarm panel that beeps as you type on it, and your head is at a certain angle, the transparency mode cuts out in a predictable manner. Were I to hazard a guess, the LinkBuds misconstrue those sounds as feedback and, therefore, cut power for a second, or so. Oddly, however, the problems are not limited to that mode. Music may cut out, even if noise cancelling / ambient passthrough are turned off. Perhaps the feedback detection remains on, regardless.I cannot say why this primarily happens on the right channel only. Perhaps it has something to do with my ear geometry and the fit of the earbuds. That said, I did use the Sony app's seal testing function and switched to the large tips early on. Everything I said refers to the large tips with a good seal. Indeed, when it works, I think the noise cancelling is quite good.The above unfortunately kills this product, at least for my ears. Other than that, the earbuds are nice enough that I tried the second pair when I saw the purple ones at a low price. I genuinely thought my existing pair was faulty. Otherwise: Light, good fit, decent sound, very useable noise cancelling, even if it's apparently not the best. The purple is darker than it appears in photos. If you prefer black, you might like the purple as well.

Cercate delle cuffie per fare attività fisica?Cercate delle cuffie per isolarvi dal mondo circostante?Cercate delle cuffie per avere un po' di musica in sottofondo mentre studiate?Cercate delle cuffie per camminare?Cercate delle cuffie per stare sui mezzi pubblici e non sentire il prossimo tuo?Cercate delle cuffie per apprezzare della musica ad alta fedeltà?Cercate delle cuffie per fare le chiamate?Cercate delle cuffie per mandare messaggi whatsapp?Cercate delle cuffie con Noise Cancelling che valgano davvero la pena?Ho acquistato queste cuffie circa 3 mesi fa.Queste cuffie sono eccezionali ed adempiono a tutte le domande sopra poste.Le migliori wireless che abbia mai provato/avuto.Se vogliamo meglio anche delle XM4 full ear.Queste cuffie hanno un ottimo noise cancelling.Eliminano qualunque rumore, purché non sia un martello pneumatico a 5m di distanza.Le persone all'esterno, al massimo del volume, sentono appena. Ma sentono al massimo da mezzo metro di distanza, oltre è il silenzio.Quindi non solo voi siete isolati ma il resto delle persone non sentono ciò che ascoltate.Perché meglio delle XM4? Perché non creano del "vuoto" o "sottovuoto" che si voglia dire.Quando la cancellazione del rumore si attiva, la senti subito, ma non è invasiva; a medio volume siete già completamente immersi, non sentite più niente.La modalità ambiente è perfetta, con volume medio alto si sente tutto.La durata della batteria è di circa 4h, se le si usa continuamente.Con appena 20 minuti di ricarica, hai nuovamente il 100%. Quindi max 4.5 ricariche totali.La batteria interna alla custodia dura in standby circa per 3 settimane.Comprai principalmente queste cuffie per fare attività fisica e cercavo delle cuffie che non cascassero dalle orecchie.Queste si posizionano nell'orecchio perfettamente, senza dare problemi, non danno fastidio anche dopo ore di utilizzo.L'applicazione è davvero ben fatta, con l'EQ si possono davvero fare piccole magie.Inoltre uso queste cuffie anche per lavoro per fare montaggio video.La connessione a PC è semplicissima.Dietro la custodia è presente un bottone. Lo si preme per 5 secondi, una luce lampeggiante blu veloce appare.Dalle impostazioni di windows/bluetooth clicchi su connetti e sulla custodia appare una luce lampeggiante più lenta della precedente per 5 volte.Connessione avvenuta.Ora puoi switchare senza problemi di sorta tra il cellulare ed il PC. Nessuna latenza, nessuno stacco.La distanza massima, a cui le cuffie si possono allontanare è di circa 15 metri.Se di mezzo c'è una parete in cemento armato antisismico, questi saranno dimezzati a 4m, dopodichè perde di segnale.Sinceramente sono pienamente soddisfatto.Non trovo problemi, dovessi trovarli aggiornerò la recensione.Ho consigliato l'acquisto anche ai miei amici che le hanno provate e sono rimasti di stucco.

Riktig bra hörlurar.

Very good noise cancelling. Fantastic mic during calls filtering ambient sounds. Stays in place during gym/exercise and very good sound. Controls are incredibly difficult to use. At least for me. Previous Sony had really easy touch functions with this they've created a mess. Touch area is difficult to find and not being able to choose what taps are used for what is really bad. Most of the time I think most people just want skip, back, pause, play and volume up/down. Here it tap four times, tap three times and if you miss the touch area once, anything can happen. Or maybe I just don't know how to set them up 😀

Sin renunciar a una calidad de sonido prácticamente insuperable, estos auriculares se ajustan a la perfección y no se caen de las orejas bajo ningún concepto gracias a sus almohadillas de silicona integradas. Yo los utilizo como tapones activos: Incluso con el modo transparencia activado, cancelan de manera dinámica sonidos fuertes. Puedo llevarlos puestos en cualquier situación (por ejemplo senderismo) sin ningún miedo a que se me caigan.Su calidad de sonido es digna de unos auriculares de dos veces su precio, vienen calibrados a la perfección de fábrica, pero además traen un ecualizador por hardware (que se ajusta en las app móviles, pero que se guarda en los auriculares y aplica a cualquier conexión de audio, ya sea PC, consola, televisor...) que permite personalizar el sonido al gusto de cada uno. Soportan el codec de audio de máxima calidad (lossless, sin perdida de calidad por compresión) de Sony, LDAC, siempre que lo soporte también el dispositivo al que están conectados. También soportan reconstrucción de audio por IA, DSEE Extreme, que intenta (con bastante éxito) recuperar detalles perdidos en audio comprimido (por ejemplo, cualquier MP3, YouTube o la mayoría de plataformas de streaming) siempre que dicha compresión sea de alta calidad. Sin embargo, DSEE Extreme acorta un poco la batería de los auriculares, por lo que depende del usuario es posible que sea preferible desactivarlo.Personalmente, recomiendo usarlos con un teléfono Sony Xperia, ya que soportan el codec LDAC y además permiten utilizar una versión mejorada de la reconstrucción de audio, DSEE Ultimate, directamente desde el teléfono, con lo cual no se ve afectada la batería y además el resultado es de mayor calidad. En el momento de escribir esta reseña (enero 2025), el teléfono de gama media más reciente de Sony (Xperia 10 VI) es un terminal magnífico para disfrutar de todas las virtudes de estos auriculares.También tienen un medidor de decibelios en tiempo real que mide el volumen al que estamos escuchando audio. Los auriculares pueden mantener una segunda conexión simultánea hacia nuestro dispositivo móvil, lo que permite medir el nivel de volumen desde la app móvil incluso aunque estemos escuchando sonido desde un dispositivo diferente. Esta funcionalidad está disponible en la mayoría de auriculares modernos de Sony (de 2023 en adelante) y para mí es indispensable. Solo por esto, ni me planteo comprar dispositivos de audio de otra marca.Su conexión al dispositivo es mucho más robusta que la de mis anteriores favoritos, los Sony LinkBuds S. Con esos, a veces fallaba al conectar alguno de los dos auriculares nada más sacarlos de la caja y había que volver a meterlos y sacarlos de la misma para reintentar la conexión. Con estos, me ha pasado alguna vez (puede ocurrir también con otros auriculares premium como los Airpods Pro 2), pero prácticamente nunca.La única pega (pequeña) es que el modo de cancelación de ruido no es tán efectivo como nos tiene acostumbrados Sony: Intenta ajustarse dinámicamente al tipo de ruido, y esto provoca cambios audibles en la cancelación que pueden resultar algo molestos, ya que pueden oírse ruidos leves apareciendo y desapareciendo. Sin embargo, es un problema muy menor teniendo en cuenta que aún y así cancelan suficiente ruido, y en particular si se contrastan con el resto de sus virtudes.En definitiva, son pequeños, cómodos, no se caen de ninguna manera, y te permiten proteger tu salud auditiva cancelando ruido y midiendo el volumen al que escuchas desde cualquier dispositivo. Sin ninguna duda mi auricular favorito en 2024-2025.
