I had the Xperia Ear Duos and loved the idea. They just didn't get loud enough to work in many situations. Hopefully these will fix that. Using them while cycling or running feels much better and safer than closing out the environment. Also some gentle background music for walks while hearing everything as well is a very nice experience.
I also had the ear duos but returned them because it didn't have any ip rating and 280€ was too much for me to take the risk. But i really loved them because the sound was like background music. I've got the linkbuds now and the sound quality is unbelievable. I have to do a side by side comparison but i think they are comparable to the xm3 buds.(base is deeper on the xm3s) In any case they blow the c500 away. At first they don't sound like much but after switching dsee on and putting the eq on excited or even better customize your own preference it's so much better. There's even pretty nice bass. On high volume i almost don't even hear my surroundings. It's pretty loud.
6:17 I prefer this generally for using earphones while out and about. Even at home my favourite headphones are the most comfortable and "airy" ones. Plus I generally prefer a proper stereo speaker set up, which you guessed it, makes it sound like sound is around you
If you exercise outdoors I've found it extremely helpful to be able to hear my surroundings. I tried the beans and loved being able to hear everything without sacrificing my music. But the beans were extremely uncomfortable and fidgety. These may be a good fit!
Thanks for your review on these. I own a pair of these myself and I find that these are really great innovation. In regards to your comment about volume, I use these on trains and public transport a lot and the volume is definitely loud enough for me. For me I don’t even have the volume maxed out and they are not even on the red level of my volume icon on my phone yet. Maybe it might be worth swapping the ear wings around for a different size perhaps? Also maybe check for software updates as I am quite sure that my recent software update has improved the volume on these.
I've been waiting for your take on these lad. You always tell it like it is. That's what we want. Because we all know looks aren't everything when it comes down to tech. 👍👍👍
Two use cases that I find attractive 1- work from home 2- sleep. I’ve used the Galaxy Beans for those use cases the past 18 months or so, and the battery life is starting to go out. These look like a good substitute. Pair them with AirPods Pro or their sister TWS the XM1000 V4 and your for days.
I'm not just tempted, I've actually pre-ordered, something I rarely do. My Aftershokz are starting to rattle, and I find the band that goes around your head gets in the way when I'm in bed or wearing a scarf, so the timing is perfect. They should arrive around March 1 if all goes well. 🤞🏽
Bought a pair of these and the XM5s. As a heavy user of audiobooks and podcasts, especially when doing the mundane chores, like washing up, these are perfect. As you say, they aren't the ideal sole pair if you're more into music, but for situational awareness situations, like riding a bike or shopping in the supermarket, these are the ones I have with me and the first to go into my pocket (and ears). I love the things. They're surprisingly great quality for speaking and listening to callers, too.
My plan is to use these for solo hiking/trailrunning where I need to be able to hear if a bike or something is coming, plus I like to hear a bit of birds chirping and all that. Hopefully they get loud enough for that. Usually is pretty quiet, and I much prefer the opposite of a U shaped sound profile, so maybe with some tweaks I can make them work.
They look like they could be good running buds. I use aftershokz openmove and am really happy with them and these look like another option to listen to stuff while having awareness of surroundings. The nature of an open ear device means they aren't suited to noisy traffic conditions but I still prefer them over my beloved momentum TW2s for running.
VERY interested in these ear buds. I'm one of those people that just can't use regular ear buds because inserting them into my ears tickles them too much when playing music. The Galaxy Buds Live are the only ones that I've successfully been able to use, but they don't fit my ears perfectly and fall out easily. I'm hoping these work for me...
@@charlescdt6509 I can't believe I went my entire life without knowing that those things existed! Just purchased some...hopefully they work well! Thanks!
@@kaochao2356 They saved mine so many times. I got the Samsung approved (at least thats what it says lol) ones. Also I use foam tips on my normal buds and those are clutch too.
Same here. I just ordered Sony WF-1000xm4 last week but in-ear earbuds probably won't be my thing. Then I got Galaxy Buds Live two days ago but I'm also struggling with a fit. Going to order and try LinkBuds but also the covers for Buds Live mentioned in the comments.
I'd definitely give em a try for my Workspace, because I need to be aware of my surroundings. Well done Sony, I can't wait to get my hands on them. I always had to use only one earbud, so everything is mono, but with them I can enjoy my music, podcasts or audiobooks.Thanks a lot Sony.
@@tobiasteichmann5882 Of course I could, but I don't like the design of bone conduction Headphones. I'll give the LinkBuds a chance and I really appreciate Sony is using recycled plastic, it's also an ethical choice for me.
@@JoeyMartz after a year of usage, I can say that I'm absolutely pleased with the performance. I use them almost daily and they're doing their job really well. I also like them while riding my bike, so you can listen to music or podcasts and be aware of your surroundings. I highly recommend the earbuds.
I’ve been looking for a pair of earbuds like these! I’m a work at home mom of a toddler so I always need to have an ear “out” for the outside world. I love listening to my audiobooks in the few minutes I get to myself so these would be great at those random times instead of spending time looking for my AirPods case
The Bragi Dash was actually the first wireless earbuds to do the “cheek tap” controls (back in 2017 if I remember correctly), along with many other futuristic features. It’s often forgotten after the company moved away from earbuds, but the Dash/Dash Pro had many features that were ahead of their time that still haven’t been seen in modern true wireless earbuds.
I find it so interesting that Bragi were one of the pioneers (to my knowledge) of truly wireless earbuds but nowadays nobody seems to have heard of them
I never worn TWO buds at the same time while walking outside for the sake of being aware of my surroundings. So I guess these Linkbuds seem actually what I needed. But probably I’ll wait for it to go on sale cause £149 is a bit pricey for what you get.
Yes ! Sony is the best ! ❤️ Sony je definitivno lider u svetu sto se tice tenickih I IT uredjaja. Svi ostali bi trebalo da uce od Sony - ja. Thank You for rewiev. Love, Sony girl 😘
Great review, Thanks! These could be just what I have been looking for. I have the AirPods Pro and the JBL Live Pro + TWS, both excellent! But I use them for work, phone calls, conference calls, and music so if they are comfortable the blend of being in-touch with my environment as well as enjoying tunes or calls could be great!
Have used these for some days now. I put them in my ears around 10am and take them out around 4pm. Not sore, not falling out. Not in use all the time but I can leave them in while not using them. Last for my day. Happy customer so far
Can I ask how you are enjoying these earbuds so far? I'm very tempted to pick these up although because of the design and the whole reason behind them I'm a bit worried about not hearing my '80s hair band music LOL (Def Leppard, Poison etc) at a decent quality, loudness or to feel the chest thumping drums. What do you think?
@@djkevinkelly so, for what I want these are great. But, they do not have thumping bass. They allow sound through/in, so your not going to get isolation. One podcast I listen to tends to be a little low in level, and i have them cranked up to near max volume. Generally it's about 3/4 volume. I walk dogs in country parks listening to podcasts/interviews. Great as I can still hear people/other dogs approaching and be aware of my surroundings. On roads I can struggle to hear clearly due to the traffic noise. I recently found one earbud was coming loose a bit too often, so went up 1 size of rubber inserts and now they are firm in place. So, the clarity is good, the level is ok, the bass is low. They are a compromise by design, but for me they are working well. Battery wise, I put them in around 10am. Leave them in all day. Listen for about 3-4 hrs through the day.
Currently have the wf1000xm3, which are absolutely great but I've pre ordered these because the ability to keep my buds in during class or whenever I don't require noice canceling is great. It's annoying to keep taking out your buds in those cases
Pre-ordered yesterday, received confirmation they've been shipped. . Also come with 3yrs warranty... I've held back on in-ear buds as they drive me crazy . I hope these work out.. let's see.. might do an unboxing video
I've returned them as I couldn't get a secure and comfortable fit, SONY if your listening you need to look at what Google did with the corded Pixel buds... A far superior solution bar the cord... I rarely have to adjust the fitment loop and ambient sound is fine..
I have the Galaxy Buds Live, they fall out often when working out with weights. Got these cause I wanted to avoid Beats or AirPods. I'm intrigued by these, and if they come down in price, may consider a pair.
I'm already thinking of wearing an over the ear ANC headphones along with these and play the same song in sync on both of them to get a one of a kind experience 😂
Do you think that these buds would be good for Skiing or Snowboarding? One of my complaints about normal buds or headphones is that you cannot hear when other skiers or boarders are nearby. Or do you think that with the wind and noise from shredding they wouldn't stand up well?
I used to listen to a pair of open back headphones and the sound was amazing but also leaking and people around me were anointed by my music taste. Are these the same? Thank you!
Oh I found your video rather refreshing first of all you’re not American or are you putting on a great northern accent or dialect et cetera. However you failed to mention about the ability to use it as a phone feature. That is he not making calls and receiving calls I take it these ear pods pods can actually do that cheers keep up the good work
They dont go into the ear canal which is one of the most important features. Apple earbuds go into the canal. I have ordered them just on the back of this feature. Much better for your heating and ears.
That is what open back means. They sound better than normal earbuds but at the cost of people standing near you being able to hear your music quite clearly actually. I’d say enough to decipher the lyrics unless it’s on real quiet.
The manufacturers of personal tinnitus masking devices needs to steal this design. The Linkbuds are the best design for white noise treatment. No occlusion, no disconnect from your surroundings, and nothing in your ear canal. The pitiful battery life is the only flaw for using them for such purposes.
Received mine yesterday. Installed on my Samsung mobile very easily . I tried to install on my iPhone 13, I seem to have a bit of a problem. Will try them properly later .
The price seems pretty steep, especially without a wireless charging case and sub par battery. I love the idea of them. But, not being able to make it a full work day or top them up on the same charging pad as my watch disappoints me.
If you want to hear your surroundings try the old Koss KSC35 wireless amazing sound & very cheap for how good they are. Just need Koss to do a true wireless version
I just bought them. What do you mean? They have a function that amplifies sounds so you can hear everything clearly, albeit a bit synthetic, a cool feature nonetheless. You can also completely block out sound
i got some issues with my ears and ‘in ears’ end up hurting my ears quite a bit (and sadly regular airpods fall out of my ears), how do these do for staying in one’s ear and how deep into your ear does this go if at all?
Honestly, i might be doing it wrong but they’re ok. I have so much trouble keeping iem style ear buds cause no matter what size I use or what material I use (regular silicone or memory foam) they won’t stay in my ears. After awhile my ears start hurting due to me pushing in the stupid airpod pros back in every 30sec. These on the other hand stay put for the most part but I think I have a weird ear shape that makes it to where it sounds like I have an ear plug in my ear, which is opposite of what they should do. My recommendation is to try them if you can. Unfortunately, I’m still on the hunt for the perfect ear buds for me. The only earphones I was able to use back in the day were the Bose sound sport wired version. Those were my ideal fitting ear tips
Besides for the people who can't stand that "plugged up feeling" I don't see the point of these... ambient mode completes the same function...I would understand more if you got like 12 hours of battery in the buds but I don't get it. I really like tapping cheeks though lol
Ambient sound is okay if you just temporary use it for some moment, but using ambient sound all the time? Is not for everyone. For this open back, it's literally natural sound and feeling and air to your ear.
These look great for having ears remain open during a walk or the office. I definitely may need to give these a try
It's the Xperia Ear 2.0! Love it.
Kudos to Sony for a different and functional take on headphones. I'm looking forward to getting these.
Od advice not they are shit i returned them after 1 day the sound was horrible and the battery on max last u 4hrs
@@salemkhamis6788 sound like you bought a broken or fake one.

Technically not in-ear, but earbuds.
They already did something like this before, Xperia Ear Duo
@@Kaiyo-103 Yeah, I had those and liked the idea, but the volume was often too low for driving a bike for example. Hopefully these do better.

I was both shocked and very pleased!

But do you really want to remmember these? 😅

Great review, I use my Aftershokz. The battery life and multipoint functionality of the aftershokz would give them the edge over these Sonys (for me).
Would be interesting to know how the sound compares to bone conduction headphones like the Aftershokz Aeropex.
Yes indeed, i like my aeropex with some eq work
Very tempted to get these for work; where I have to take my buds out because colleagues are speaking to me at least 5 times an hour 😂
Loved the revue! How was call quality? My first time on the channel and I’m impressed, so I subscribed.
yes, same question
Mate thank you for your sharing, I am just wondering if teeth biting harder will operate the buds or not? Eg.
Double bite or triple bite may operate the buds, it’s cool, isn’t it?

This is really amazing and advanced I ,it has even nose cancellation ?

Wonder what's the difference between these and Shox OpenRun Pro. Possibly better sound quality on the Sony?

Will you review bone conducting earphones as well? :-)
not being very suitable for outdoor use is a concern for me... any idea how they stack up against aftershokz outdoors?
Came here for the product, liked for the Joe rogan joke 😭 0:21
i got some issues with my ears and ‘in ears’ end up hurting my ears quite a bit (and sadly regular airpods fall out of my ears), how do these do for staying in one’s ear and how deep into your ear does this go if at all?
Honestly, i might be doing it wrong but they’re ok. I have so much trouble keeping iem style ear buds cause no matter what size I use or what material I use (regular silicone or memory foam) they won’t stay in my ears. After awhile my ears start hurting due to me pushing in the stupid airpod pros back in every 30sec. These on the other hand stay put for the most part but I think I have a weird ear shape that makes it to where it sounds like I have an ear plug in my ear, which is opposite of what they should do. My recommendation is to try them if you can. Unfortunately, I’m still on the hunt for the perfect ear buds for me. The only earphones I was able to use back in the day were the Bose sound sport wired version. Those were my ideal fitting ear tips
Sony LinkBuds, hello.. do you think Sony LinkBuds I should choose this or sennheiser momentum true wireless 2 anc?
Is this a good replacement for the WF1000XM3 if my XM3 dies some day? How's the sound quality compare to the WF1000XM3 and XM4 minus the ANC?
what i need from such a review, is it better than airpods or not ?
on sound not any thing else
better sound or samller or bad
Besides for the people who can't stand that "plugged up feeling" I don't see the point of these... ambient mode completes the same function...I would understand more if you got like 12 hours of battery in the buds but I don't get it. I really like tapping cheeks though lol
Ambient sound is okay if you just temporary use it for some moment, but using ambient sound all the time? Is not for everyone. For this open back, it's literally natural sound and feeling and air to your ear.
