Can you talk more about philosophy side of these convinient small earbud? More and more people cant go on of their life without these in their ear, even going outside to exercise and in public, forgot about the beauty of the natural sound and also the nice things to talk with stranger but keep want to listen to their digital contents that wont be gone and die all the time instead of only access them while in home or so. I thought to just get a good speaker or headphone to listen to music the best way i can access them while in home, but companies sure want to market them to truck people into thinking they need to have them all the time and people brainwash wd enough to defend them, what you think
Just got the Linkbuds yesterday with a black Friday deal at 99€ and I love them... They even updated to support multi point straight away. So for the money I paid and the featured I'm more than happy
I got the Airpods 3 and like them. However, after placing them in my ear they will randomly fall out without any indication they are loose. Sometimes its after 30 mins, sometimes longer. They just slowly creep out and fall. They sound good and are comfortable...but staying in is important.
I just bought the Sony’s and really like them for around work. The fit is unique and takes some getting used to but overall, they will not fall out!! Sound is nice and clear, bass is there in sound, just not in impact. This was the perfect solution to having to always take my earbud out, even when paused, just to join a quick hello.
I bought the linkbuds yesterday before I used airpods so in my opinion linkbuds have a better fit,sound quality and mic quality and if you are an android user the linkbuds suits more then the airpods and the last airpods don't stay while working out in gym but these linkbuds do stay in
I use both several hours a day each and they both have uses that make them useful in certain applications. I do use the Linkbuds for nighttime and sleeping as they are very comfortable. However, during the day, I do like wearing the AirPods 3 for listening to music while being able to hear. I never use the wide area tap feature for Linkbuds. As I use these for sleeping or sometimes chew with them in and that activates the taps.
AirPods 1 fit great, just like the wired ones. AirPods 3 fall out easily, especially the right one. They sound great, but that slight change in size makes them regrettable for me.
Idk if the first airpod had a rubber ear tip. But why would you ever buy any earbuds that don't have those. They are always uncomfortable. Never make a seal and always fall out. Not to mention honestly this is the THIRD iteration and they still look like a pair of super cheap wired buds that someone cut the wires off
very informative video, just one point that did not make sense, atleast to me is what difference does it make if airpods case can be opened with one hand, we require our other hand to put them on, so anyway both hands are required.
I was thinking for people who have use of only one hand, the AirPods might be easier. I can open the case and take out a bud with one hand, the Sony is much more difficult to do that
Excellent Review! I own(ed) both because I like the concept of open ear pods :-) But even Apple doesn't communicate the main difference between the Airpods 1-3 (open so no ANC possible) and Pro (closed like all other In-ears). Anyway - you brought it exactly to the point for these canditates - It's all about the fit which is really different: Sadly the Sony LinkBuds don't want to fit in my ears without starting to hurt after some minutes, regardless of the fins i used. Also the Airpods 3 are not fitting perfectly and start to hurt or fall out after some hours (phone conferences in the home office). Finally the good old Airpods 2 (and the SoundPeats TrueAir 2 with good sound but terrible call quality) have the best fit for my ears. So I had no choise: I needed to decide for the AirPods 3 since the sound is better than the Airpods 2 (and their batteries got weak due to the heavy use in the last years). But one thing needed to be said after multiple tries: the spacial audio feature is completely useless - it makes music much more worse and I am not watching any cinema movies with my Airpods ;-) Would like to see more of such detailed an well done comparisons in future !!
Quick Q, ur colleague gave a good review to Sony’s XM4 ear buds, have u used em? I am yet to find the perfect earbuds, that offers best music quality, call quality and anc all at the same time.
$180 a pair for either model? I have $22 JLabs Go Air Pops and they fit and work great. If I lose them, I can buy replacements 7 times for the price of these others.
I really love linkbuds but unfortunatelly my ears are not loved by them, in any fitters, it falls quite often. because it is naturally ambient sound mode, I'd like to wear them outside but I'm so afraid of losing it. Sony please create some variation of fitter like XXL or different shape ....
I've just bought a pair of Linkbuds. They do not fit my ears. I've tried every size fin they offer. XS and S are too small and they wiggle out while I'm talking. M is almost the size I need, but they start to hurt my ears after a short amount of time. I've also noticed that the sit too low in my ear and it muffles the sound. Unfortunately, living in Poland, not even Amazon always used returns. So, I'm stuck with these things that I can't wear.
I've never owned any wireless earbuds before. I did get the iPhone 13 Pro Max when i came out and was thinking about getting the AirPods Pro, but I hear rumors about Apple planning to release an AirPods Pro 2?
AirPods don't fit me, they literally fall out if I turn my head. I wish Apple made "XL" versions for us ogres with elephant ears. But maybe the Sony's will work out.
I'm sorry I think it's ridiculous that these airpods still have the insanely ugly stem. They look soooooo ... yeah well ridiculous. Bro I'd be embarrassed to wear that crap but people pretend it's OK because it's apple. If any other company did that we'd make endless fun of them. Also these seem to be copying to old wired airpod design without the silicone rubber tip. Those type of earbuds are the absolute worst. I'd your earbud doest have a silicone / foam or gel tip that goes into your ear it's basically worthless. I've NEVER ever been able to fit an earphone like that in my ear Sony links look fugly too BTW. They needed to copy XM4s style only make it smaller and more comfortable.
Thanks for watching! As always, feel free to ask any extra questions you have 🎧

Love this girl, she always puts out the best and informative videos

Best Presenter! Very engaging. Lots of hard work from all the b-roll. Hope CNET values you.
Linkbuds are amazing man. Have had them for a little over a month
I feel like the Galaxy Buds Live belong in this category, too.
I bought the linkbuds yesterday before I used airpods so in my opinion linkbuds have a better fit,sound quality and mic quality and if you are an android user the linkbuds suits more then the airpods and the last airpods don't stay while working out in gym but these linkbuds do stay in
That mic test was a great break from the usual review. Amazing!
Yay Lexy is back
Very helpful video 👍
Always the BEST from the CNET STAR!
I wish you guys would test out non mainstream brands that are built well and have good features. Still a good review tho 👍🏼
Love the AirPods 3
Will you be doing a review of the Beats Fit Pro versus AirPods Pro?
Which is better!
I use both several hours a day each and they both have uses that make them useful in certain applications. I do use the Linkbuds for nighttime and sleeping as they are very comfortable. However, during the day, I do like wearing the AirPods 3 for listening to music while being able to hear. I never use the wide area tap feature for Linkbuds.

Im looking for something to use with The Ipad 9th Generation
If you are really looking for open ear buds with a comfortable fit and a good sound have a look at the Oladance Wearable Stereo buds.
Nice video breakdown! Lol everyone does that talk to my different hair and clothes variant.

@@godofchaoskhorne5043 depends on the person. The ones without rubber tips fit me perfectly and didn’t fatigue my ear.
After trying out multiple buds (Samsung buds, airpods pro, Sony's, airpods 3, beats) OG airpods are still my favorite ones. 😅
Same my only problem is they come out easily 😂

I have airpods 3 Gen and happy with it
I quite like the AirPods 3rd gen…first set I owned, as they were super comfortable and sounded better than expected.
Imagin having to press a button to change ur music absolute present

I have! Search for Sony XM4 vs AirPods Pro the cnet video is mine. Spoiler: I really like them
$180 a pair for either model? I have $22 JLabs Go Air Pops and they fit and work great. If I lose them, I can buy replacements 7 times for the price of these others.
I bought the linkbuds on clearance for $54 at target.
These link buds do have switching System?
I want a pair so so badly
could you do a 'vs.' with the nothing ear (1)?
Oh wow. Adding Linkbuds to my list now.
Awesome vid!
Can you invoke Siri with the Sony ones?
I love my airpod 3🔥
Love that she was listening to MF Doom
Definitely going for the Sonys
MF DOOM 5:46
No phone in that case! Good one Lexy, lol.
I really love linkbuds but unfortunatelly my ears are not loved by them, in any fitters, it falls quite often. because it is naturally ambient sound mode, I'd like to wear them outside but I'm so afraid of losing it. Sony please create some variation of fitter like XXL or different shape ....
Ive sony link buds over a year. Comfortable, dont fall out, but aound quality for music is not good at all
Waiting for AirPods Pro 2
Love your videos Mam
Your music choices are top notch!! MF DOOM!!!
AirPods any day, cos I’m locked in for life!
i am loving my Linkbuds
As a parent, I consider it an advantage not to be able to open the case with just one hand 😀
Lexy listens to MF Doom.
Okay Lexy, I peep the music you banging to! Thanks. I got some music to look for!😉
notice at 0:33 she was listening to doom? MFDOOM4L

Finally sony named something sensible 😜
Sony is way better.
I just bought the 3rd g AirPods and they are great but there’s nothing innovative about them as compared to Sony
The Sony's have made my ears sore especially to the R/H one I now have an infection. Luckily I bought them cheap second hand.
Just got mine and man they hurt. I'm really hoping my ears get used to it but I dont think its gonna happen
I've never owned any wireless earbuds before. I did get the iPhone 13 Pro Max when i came out and was thinking about getting the AirPods Pro, but I hear rumors about Apple planning to release an AirPods Pro 2?
👍
I have an android phone buy have been using the airpods for a minute and have to say are the best all round ear buds .
MF DOOM
I don’t know why I forgot she was British lmao I thought she was kidding in the beginning
Pretty sure she’s Australian
@@JeanAnD0nly correct! 🇦🇺

Excellent comparison Lexy! That mic test was great!😅
🙌 thank you my friend! Means a lot from the king!
Kraak & Smaak are so dope :)
I don't know how Lexy does it but her videos are more and more engaging from one to the other 👍😸
My state is trying to murder me and are recklessly slandering my name.

she listens to MF DOOM. Based
