Great all-round!

LinkBuds S 02 August 2022 by AJSe7en (United Kingdom)

Got these recently after reading/watching several reviews - I was impressed by how small the case is and how light it is, along with the buds themselves. They block a lot of noise passively and the ANC really performs well, not needing much volume to block it completely. On first try, I used these for approximately 3 hours with no ear fatigue at all, which was great. The product also has a nice matte feel, but I am definitely in the market for a protective case as I will have these on the go. I'm yet to experience any scenarios where these have slipped out of my ears and the side-profile is very low. The app is OK, but not user friendly enough in a way that's streamlined. This would be my only drawback although this is a separate part of the product itself in my opinion.

Left earbuds drains after 5 minutes of use

LinkBuds S 11 August 2024 by Jide_P (United Kingdom)

I bought these earbuds just over a year ago and now the battery of the left earbuds drains after 5 minutes. Extremely disappointed! Just because the product is a couple months over warranty, I am left with a nearly unusable product.

Do not buy - Horrible battery

LinkBuds S 15 October 2025 by S Br (United Kingdom)

Although the sound quality and ANC was decent, unfortunately the battery of this product is extremely poor. I can’t even use the ANC function anymore because the battery drains within 20 minutes. Even without ANC I cannot get 30 minutes out of the left earbud. I will not be buying a Sony product again.

El peor error, comprar productos SONY.

WFLS900N/W 14 October 2025 by Silvia Elena (USA)

En febrero 20 de 2023 compre un LINKBUDS S MODELO YY2950 en un de almacén de confianza como Best Bay, todo era perfecto, buen sonido, cancelación de ruido excelente, y un producto confiable como SONY, con supuestos altos estándares en sonido. Al año comenzó a fallar precisamente cuando vencío la garantía de compra. La batería comenzó a agotarse aunque decía un 100% esta se descargaba en 10 minutos, el auricular derecho se descargaba a los 5 minutos aunque señalaba que estaba en un 90%, fui al almacén y no me solucionaron, escribí a soporte de SONY, y me dieron las indicaciones pertinentes para reiniciarlo, elimine la aplicación de mi celular únicamente para ver si lo actualizaba, pero todo fue en vano. Cundo les escribí un email, dándoles a conocer lo descontenta y lo defraudada por comprar un supuesto producto que promociona ser uno de los mejores en el mercado. Pero no se si fue decepcionante la perdida de mi dinero al comprar un producto de tan mala calidad o la respuesta que me dieron vía email cuando solicite un teléfono, dirección o lugar donde llevarlos para que me lo repararan. Solo lamentaron que yo estuviese tan decepcionada y que no tenían mas opciones de solución. porque yo ya había agotado todos los pasos para la restauración de la batería. Leyendo todas las reseñas noto que no soy la única, algunos mas tienen el mismo problema que tengo con este producto. solo le digo a las personas que quieran comprar uno de estos producto no lo hagan piénselo antes de malgastar su dinero. si alguien desea abrir una sala de disputa para hablar sobre este estafa al vendernos un comercial que es totalmente falso, estaré pendiente.

Worst Sony Product EVER purchased... DO NOT BUY

WFLS900N/B 15 September 2025 by Sad Dan 92 (USA)

Bought these a little over a years ago, and they've proven to be the most disappointing product I've EVER purchased from Sony. They aren't even useful as a paperweight at this point. This product is definitely not on par with the headphones and earbuds Sony has released for decades, and the experience with this product has been bad enough that I will reconsider ever buying anymore Sony products in the future... On first impression the earbuds were great. I loved the sound quality, and the way they fit snug and securely in the ears. The noise cancelling was also very impressive. The customizations available through the Sony app were pretty cool as well. 100% what you would expect from a upper-middle tier audio product from Sony. Within ~2 months, the head phones started going downhill. Battery life started diminishing, which is expected from any product with a rechargeable battery, but the decline was very quick. Originally, I could make it through about 5 to 6 hours with fully charged buds, and a 20 minute charge would get me through the rest of my work day. Pretty soon I was charging them 2-3 times a day. At ~6 months, the headphones physically started to fall apart. The black lens that hides the sensor for detecting when the headphones are being worn FELL OFF IN MY EAR CANAL and I had to have a trained medical professional help me remove it!... Around the same time, the noise cancellation started acting up. Whenever the buds were set to Noise Cancelling, a constant buzzing sound could be heard while the headphones were on. Like a strong breeze was blowing past your ear... After ~9 months, the battery is almost completely shot in the right earbud. On a "full charge", the buds say they're only at 70%. If I'm lucky, I can maybe get 30 minutes of use out of the right bud, otherwise it lasts about 15 minutes. Of course, the right bud is the "primary" earbud, so the left can't function independently. Not much you can do once the battery goes unless you're able to pull the buds apart and replace the batteries on your own. Overall, a very disappointing product from a company I once held in high regard. I wouldn't buy these again or recommend them to anyone.

No Repairs

WFLS900N/B 14 July 2025 by DeadEarbud (USA)

Let’s start with what makes this product not worth the purchase: the batteries will die, and no one, including Sony will repair them. i spent hours on the phone with service centers and sony customer service only to discover this product is not serviced. I loved these earbuds, the work great for about a year and a half. then out of the blue, they stop holding a charge and you’re left high and dry. I highly recommend you save your dollars and purchase elsewhere

Good fit, poor performance

WFLS900N/B 09 July 2025 by cewdressage (USA)

I've had these for a full 6 months now. They've been rather disappointing... My old cheapie earbuds worked better. Often one earbud will disconnect and will not reconnect unless I put them back in the case. Annoying because I don't take the case with me on walks, which is mainly when I use them. When that's not happening, both earbuds will cut out very briefly, over and over, back and forth between the two. I've reset, unpaired/re-paired, etc. and it all still keeps happening. The thing I do like about them is that they are very comfortable and stay in well. As someone with small ears, the vast majority of earbuds don't work for me.

Short life-span linkbuds S

WFLS900N/B 01 July 2025 by angle101 (USA)

I bought this in December 2023 (1.5 years ago) and one of the ear buds already lost the ability to hold a charge (dies in less than 5 minutes after being fully charged). Customer support states that since its out of warranty they cannot replace it. Unfortunately, the cost of the single headphone is around $90 (nearly 60% of a new pair). Due to the cost of the headphones, I cannot justify the price nor recommend this particular pair given its short life-span.

Great sound. Terrible battery quality

LinkBuds S 17 June 2025 by brandon29 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

Bought these because I was disappointed my apple AirPods only lasted 2 and a half years. These were far worse only lasting 14 months... Conveniently 2 months after my warranty expired. The charging case doesn't hold a charge for more than a day and the right ear bud no longer charges at all. Wish I had seen all the complaints about battery life before buying.

Amazing, but battery issues.

WFLS900N/L 10 June 2025 by etallas (USA)

I've had these for a year and a half, and they're incredible, minus one huge issue. The battery in the right earbud was a dud, and it started to drain like crazy(20 minutes). They were out of warranty, so I bought a replacement battery kit online and replaced the batteries myself off of a youtube video. I would assume they've fixed the battery issue by now, so I would buy them again if it were necessary. Great audio quality, and great ANC.

Issue with battery life

LinkBuds S 30 April 2025 by Lang32 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

I decided to buy the sony product compared to other brands, even if it was pricier, in order to ensure quality and longevity of my earpods. After a little over a year, one of the two earpods is not charging properly. This causes the earpods to have a battery life of less then 20minutes. I am disappointed in the longevity of this product. If I would have know I would have prefered the cheaper versions which would have last just as long.

LinkBuds S 04 March 2025 by NikD (United Kingdom)

Bought these for sleeping in 2022. They are a perfect fit for me to be able to sleep on the side without feeling like something is in my ear. Noice cancelling is great and sound quality is exceptional for the size and price. But after 2 years, the batter life on the left earbud went from 7h to 15min while the right one could still easily live 6h. Then after not using them for 3 months. Left one doesn't charge and turn on at all and right one last 15min. Bought a 2nd set, the 2nd set started having issues 4 months in. Unacceptable quality control.

Poor Quality from Sony

WFLS900N/B 22 February 2025 by Lifelong Sony Fan (USA)

I bought this headset and thought I was getting a quality product from the Sony brand. This turned out not to be the case. Left earbud went bad and charging case eventually went bad too in a short period of time. Now the right ear bud can't even keep a charge. All of this is happened while using in a office setting, no harsh elements involved. Completely disappointed with this purchase and with Sony being willing to tarnish their brand with junk like this. I guess purchasing an off brand headset for 15$ will be a better choice if it'll last only a year.

Garbage, faulty product

LinkBuds S 21 February 2025 by c2897763 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

On my second pair after the first had battery issues related to the headphones themselves out of the box. This pair exhibits some of the same battery issues to a lesser extent, but now has additional connectivity issues, in addition to battery issues with the charging case. The sony customer service is a joke, they would not refund my purchase. So that's $200.00 that I will never get back sitting in their pocket. This product is faulty and they are definitely aware but do not care, DO NOT BUY.

Good to start with

LinkBuds S 20 February 2025 by AndyF1975 (United Kingdom)

I purchased these in 2022 and all was fine - the quality was good, sound was good and they fitted well. About 2.5 years afterwards in the space of a couple of weeks the batteries lost all ability to hold charge. Initially they would last for 5+ hours on a charge, but they then went to losing practially all their charge in about half an hour, making them essentially useless. I googled this problem and it seems to be widely reported and discussed. My earbuds were obviously out of the 1 year warranty but I contacted Sony and they investigated but would not offer anything other than suggsting i pay for a repair. They accepted no liability for what is clearly a well known fault. To be left with something that is now no more than a paperwieght after only 2.5 years unless i pay to fix or replace it is unacceptable. I will not be buying another pair.

Battery drainage after 2 years

LinkBuds S 18 February 2025 by Vivki (United Kingdom)

Initially I liked the linkbuds and was impressed with the noise cancelling. But i have found that wearing them for extended periods causes discomfort and pain. I also find that they can be awkward sometimes to create the proper seal which you need for ANC. After about 18 months I have also found that the battery drainage is severe. I can maybe listen to music for about 30 minutes maximum before they are out of charge. And this happened almost overnight, as 1 day they were fine and maintained charge for a good couple of hours at least, and the next they just died after half hour.

LinkBuds S 04 February 2025 by Trev001 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

After 13 months (just after 12 mo warranty) the battery life immediately dropped from hours to less than 30 minutes. Customer service provided no support for the product and the process to call, upload proof of purchase (which didn't work), and call again was cumbersome and ineffective. Factory reset, changing settings, cleaning case did not help. Sony has lost a customer and some reputation.

Do not let Sony rip you off!

LinkBuds S 03 February 2025 by Electrobix (United Kingdom)

I loved these earbuds - great sound, lightweight and easy to wear all day. After having them for less than two years, however, the right bud suddenly (over a matter of a couple of weeks) started draining very quickly - at one point it only lasted 15 minutes. I suspect this may be a software problem, particularly as a reset increased the battery life to about an hour. I contacted Sony and was told I could pay £30 to have the fault assessed, plus an unknown amount for the actual repair - when I pointed out I believed this to be a fault given the suddenness of the problem and the number of other people online who reported the same issue, I received a rather curt reply with a link to the warranty policy. Wow Sony, 0/10 for customer service.

LinkBuds S 02 February 2025 by TDuk (United Kingdom)

Only had these a few days before sending back to Amazon. Fully charged car and buds but battery life was awful. It actually struggled to update the firmware since the battery wouldnt last the 20mins needed! After 3 attempts managed to get latest version, but still didn't fix. 100% battery... After 5mins had 48%, after 10mins 2%. Sent back and bought another brand since the Sony warranty required posting to other side of the country and waiting. Sound quality was good though while it was on, and multipoint worked fine too. Maybe mine was from a bad batch :(

Faulty product and terrible service

WFLS900N/B 30 January 2025 by Disgruntled 0130 (USA)

I originally purchased this product from Best Buy in February of 2023. They worked great for the first year and then the left ear bud starting losing battery life. The buds would be fully charged and within 5 minutes the left bud would shut off and have zero battery life. This is a huge problem with these ear buds and Sony is very aware of the issue. I tried to see if Best Buy would replace them however they said I had to go back to the manufacturer. Yesterday I called Sony’s customer service number, 239-245-6366, and I finally reached a live voice and after a brief discussion and giving him all the model info he said they would replace them at no charge. I was satisfied with this as my belief is that’s how a good company should handle a known manufacturing issue and to satisfy a loyal customer. This morning I received a phone call from another Sony service rep and I was informed that the original representative made a mistake and they were not going to replace my ear buds. This to me is an example of terrible customer service and customer relations. Not only did you sell me a faulty product but you also weren’t truthful with me when I called your company. In this where Sony has made multiple mistakes your number one goal should be to make the situation right and they did not. I will never buy another Sony product and if I wanted a pair of wireless ear buds I would definitely not buy these.

As with AirPods you can’t.. sound quality is really good, and the battery like is more like 10-12 hours for the buds per charge especially if you turn the noise cancellation or ambient mode off.

Lasting 12 months before needing to be replaced.

WFLS900N/B 24 January 2025 by SleepyGuy84 (USA)

Worked really great for about 6 months. After 6 months the right earbud stopped registering when it was removed from the case. Would need to put it back and take it out a couple times before it reconnected to the phone. After about 12 months the left ear bud started having issues with the battery only lasting about 20 to 30 minutes before completely dying. I was really hoping that these were going to last a lot longer than this.

WFLS900N/B 20 January 2025 by Disappointed Dan (USA)

Bought these headphones 9 months ago and they're not even useful as paperweights anymore. About a month ago, the left earphone started giving off an annoying buzzing tone when noise cancelling & adaptive sound were engaged. No damage to the headphones, headphone are kept clean with a dry cloth. Just started acting up out of the blue. None of the the fixes online seemed to help. A few weeks later, I pulled my left earphone out, and the black screen that detects when you have the earphones on or off just fell off into my ear. The adhesive just came unglued. Luckily I got it out before it went any further back. Sony customer service doesn't seem to think their products breaking off small pieces into people's ears is a big deal. I'd expect this kind of quality from Skullcandy, not Sony. Sony used to set the standard for mid-high quality audio. This is just disappointing.

Don't ever lose a bud

WFLS900N/B 15 January 2025 by Ashhhhhhhhhh (USA)

Maybe I'm used to my bare bones earbuds but these are possible the most finicky ones I've ever seen. Granted great sound and high tech features like voice passthrough and suppression however pairing them is a nuisance. WARNING if you lose one dont unpair it or get a new phone unless you want e-waste

Extremely Disappointed as a Loyal Sony Customer

WFLS900N/B 13 January 2025 by MattGrt (USA)

I’ve been a loyal Sony customer for years. I’ve purchased several products, including a pair of earbuds for myself and recently as a Christmas gift for my brother. I’ve always associated Sony with quality, but my recent experiences deeply disappointed me. In 2023, I purchased a pair of Sony earbuds. They arrived defective, with serious battery issues. Sony replaced them under warranty, which was appreciated. However, the replacement pair lasted just over a year before the same battery issue reappeared, conveniently outside the warranty period. It’s unacceptable for a premium product to fail so consistently. Recurring issues with battery life across multiple pairs suggest a systemic problem.I invested in Sony because I believed in their quality and customer care. However, I feel abandoned when these products fail just outside the warranty period. As a loyal customer, I expected better. I’m not asking for anything unreasonable. I would appreciate a replacement or repair to show Sony’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. If this issue isn't addressed, I will have no choice but to consider other brands in the future. I truly hope Sony values their loyal customers enough to make this right. It's hard to justify staying with a brand that doesn’t seem to care when things go wrong.

Surprisingly good LinkBuds S

WF-LS900N/WCE 13 January 2025 by Tomquah (Singapore) Verified Purchaser Verified

There were mixed reviews from different reviewers in social media but I went ahead to purchase the LinkBuds S as I trust Sony for quality from all my past purchases. And I am glad the LinkBuds S is all good from size, battery performance and most importantly the sound quality. Great Noise Cancelation and good for making call too. I like the Sound Connect app which is simple to use and customizing my LinkBuds S. It is light that I can wear it comfortably. I had yet to setup spatial sound.

One earbud broke after a couple of years

LinkBuds S 30 December 2024 by Wigglytufff (United Kingdom)

Was really happy until one earbud started draining from 100% to 0% after less than 1 hour of use. They're out of warranty now, so nothing I can do without paying for an expensive repair.
