Been looking for my next earbuds and this video finally sold me on the link buds s. Scavenged through tons of reviews but this one seemed the most honest with regards to sound quality. I’m upgrading from the Samsung galaxy 2s
This is the most comprehensive review between linkbuds S and XM4 that Ive ever seen. I decided to choose Linkbuds S because of lighter weight and better calling quality. Thanks for your sharing.
good advice! Based on many years of experience, blowing your nose is very important, at least every half hour, to hear the best quality! Seriously, try it and you'll agree!
I had a pair of Linkbuds S for one night but I had serious problems with them sticking way too deep in my ears, which was super uncomfortable if not painful. Don’t you experience anything like that and do the xm4 go deep into the ear canal like the S too, so they are no alternative for me?
I just got the linkbuds s and I previously had the xm4’s both are amazing headsets for sure if you want to listen to the left earbud independently on the linkbuds you’ll have to go to the services tab scroll to the bottom and turn service link off for those who don’t know that but they are surprisingly similar to the xm4’s great review I definitely agree 100%
@@chaseabendschein5528 the xm4’s are larger but have a little better noise canceling in my opinion both have great sound quality I personally can’t tell much difference there, and the linkbuds s seem to have better transparency mode and are smaller which is sometimes harder to get out of the case but I also have large hands but I can also wear them longer because of the fit in my ears. That being said you really can’t go wrong with either one of them
Are there any tips that improve the noise cancellation of the Sony Linkbuds S, without spoiling the comfort and that also fit correctly in the case? Which models do you recommend?

After a few weeks i using Linkbuds, Linkbuds S and WF 1000xM4 ! I knew why Sony Name it Linkbuds S ! Its about Comfort of Linkbuds S, I feel the same way of comfort with Linkbuds and we easily Link offline and Online world especially it got ANC if you want to disconnect from your Offline world ! I cant wear WF 1000xM4 for along time but Linkbuds S is not the same.
Great to see you back with your new place Aaron! Great review too. Thanks! These seem like they should be 150.00 not 200.00. I had the XM4 but sadly had to send them back because of comfort issues. I am sure these would be VERY comfortable. I am using the new MTW3 and find them to be comfortable and sound great. I hope you do a review on the Sennheisers soon.
Waiting on my MTW3 to get here on Friday. You returned the XM4's due to comfort, apart from that - which do you prefer (XM4 or MTW3) if comfort wasn't an issue?
@@DBAMAN7 Hi Hulk. I think you will be very happy with MTW3s... I liked the way the Sony's sounded because I kind of prefer the darker/warmer sound. So my MTW3s are EQed to more of a V shape. I have poor hearing, but I do believe the MTW3's are more dynamic and if you want more BASS they have a setting under the EQ for that. Bottom line, if comfort were not an issue I would still have the Sony's and probably own the MTW3's too! ;-) Please share your thoughts when you get them!
I would like to ask you where I can buy Zenypower Z55H or equivalent CP 1254 C1 batteries, please ask SONY because I want to replace the battery in the right helmet, after the software upgrade the battery gets very hot?
I recently purchased the Sony Linkbuds S from the Amazon Prime day sale July 2022, I can honestly say they are a good pair of earbuds if you do not want to pay the price tag for the Sony WF-1000XM4. I found that the Linkbuds S still packed good sound, not as good as the XM4's however still very good, but most importantly, the comfort on the Linkbuds for my ears were much preferred over the XM4's, thats not to say that i'll be putting my XM4's to one side, they will be getting used time to time, I just feel like the Linkbuds S will be more for my daily wear to avoid ear fatigue over long periods of sitting at my desk whilst working. Thanks for the comparison video too Aaron, always great to see your videos and appreciate everything you have to say.
@@aaronloudnwireless Hey Aaron, i'm curious to know have you personally or know of anyone who has experienced call connection issues with the WF-1000XM4 or the Sonylink buds S with iPhone iOS? I thought it was only my XM4's that I was experiencing this issue. During calls the connection for me would randomly drop, my earbuds would no longer be connected to my phone, then about 3-5seconds later they would reconnect, the person on the other end would be able to hear me during this disconnect but I am not able to hear them as I would get the device disconnect tone on the earbuds, during a call this can happen multiple times. I have been using the Sony linkbuds S for calls over the last couple of days and have experienced exactly the same behaviour. I have tried reseting them and repairing with both sets of earbuds, the XM4's were fine for a little while but soon enough I started experiencing the same again. I know others have experienced the same after reading some posts on Reddit but it doesn't look hopefully Sony will be addressing this issue. Hoping you can shine some more light on this topic. Thank you
I love the LinkBuds S! Small and light. Very decent sound (better than my airpods pro), and the noise cancellingis not perfect, but good enough, and it feels so much more comfortable than that of Apple. They’re also small enough than it’s comfortable to side sleep with them. My only nitpicks are: - the battery, especially the case. - And compared to my over the ear XM5 the bluetooth connection is not as strong when I move around the house. Overall super happy with them. I don’t use my airpods pro anymore; I rotate between the Linkbuds and the big XM5 now.
I had so many issues with the linkbuds i returned them. Cool feature mine came with, if i used the awareness mode at some point it would give me the wonderful surprise of a max volume piercing whine. I hated these buds.
I tested the Jabra 75t and they were "absolute garbage" compated to the Apple AirPods Pro (mid 2021) maybe they improved with software updates.) the "Sony LinkBuds S" are great but not better than the "Apple AirPods Pro" just different: better sound and ANC but "worse" transparency Mode.
Linkbuds s support LC3 codec so it has a way lower latency than those with aptXLL the thing is that only more modern phones use it such as the S23ultra and Iphone 14pro, great video anyway 👌 thanks to you I bought the linkbuds s 👍
Linkbuds S are great earbuds- watching this now using them. They’re the most comfortable earbuds I’ve used, plus they support multipoint bluetooth connection. Love the textured plastic feel of the buds & case. I just returned a set of Beats Fit Pros(too big for my ears, no multipoint) & replaced them with these Linkbuds.
Im using xm4 for 8 month. Not comfortable with the foam eartips. Painful. But now i change it using Spinfits eartips. Daily use 5-8hrs with no problem. Love the ambient.. Hope sony keep on improve in term of design 😂.
agree bro, my xm4 just past one year the right earbuds could last only 30mins now totally disappointing after paying a premium price tag… losing interest with sony products now
I have the xm4 but I'm using them so much I need something more discret for outside and light. I think I'll take those it seems like a good compromise, specially now that they are 150e
Nice video Aaron! Now i wondering buy the Linkbuds S. I have also a pair of WF 1000XM4 im super happy with. But its more "work" to make them fit correctly every time i put them in my ears, and i must often press several times when i wearing them to have the right sealing. Use the largest foam tips, the medium is way to small. I've tried silicon tips but its was not good for the XM4. It can be hard to use them for a long period. My WF C500 and WF 1000XM3 are more comfy to use for long periods. But i love the small case on the XM4. How is the comfort on Linkbuds S compared to the C500 ? I can easily use mine for 10 hours without feeling ear fatuige.
hardly anything fits perfectly for me, but the WF1000XM4 with silicone tips gave me perfect fit for the first time in my life. the problem with silicone tips is that you need to tip roll, so if you've been buying brands that just don't fit you, the cons is that even when you explore all size options, you still won't have a good fit. But silicone ear tips provide superior and cleaner sound, and once you have the fit correct, silicone tips let you just pop the IEM in without the hassle of foam tips. but due to sound quality, i will always avoid foam tips. i'd return the IEM if no silicone tips work because the foam sounds audibly worse the moment i use it, even if it seals properly.
Question is, does it have the same nightmarish battery problem like the XM4? I just tried to change the batteries of the XM4 today and broke the flex cable of the right earbud by accident. I won't waste another dime on this. I'd rather buy a new set, and preferably a new model
When you use Sony Linkbuds S in outside from rec a whatsapp audio or whatsapp call ramdomly change drastically the soud quality of the audio…the sound start great but after 20 seconds turns in something very muffled
Damn near even in terms of sound quality and ANC. I got the Sonys at launch and I’ve been using the Beats every single day since November. Transparency mode is way better on the Beats tho
tengo los linkbuds S y me encantan. los prefiero por que son un poco mas versatil y su sonido es realmente convincente e impactante. es de calidad y tiene bajos potentes. el unico punto en contra es que no tiene carga inalambrica y los microfonos no son del todo perfectos, pero es son cosas de gustos personales. la conectividad es optima al igual que la bateria. el ANC es increible para un producto tan pequeño.y ademas cuando activas el ambient es increible. el xm4 son muy buenos pero su diseño no me gustó y no son discretos. si los comparo con los airpods en general, Considero que los sony, son lejos mejores que los airpods. pd: es el unico comentario en spanish que encontrarás, saludos
@@edgarmolina8383 "Sony LinkBuds S" if they are very secure in your ear (for me they didn't really hold in my ears, but with the foam Ear-Tips from the Sony Wf-1000xm4 they were really secure 👍🏽) the Sony Wf-1000xm4 were also really secure in my ear.. they are nearly the same TBH (I now only own the Sony Wf-1000xm4 and returned the LinkBuds S)
@@edgarmolina8383Se supone que uno elige segun las necesidades. Ambos son atractivos y tiene prestaciones similares pero por dimensiones, comodidad y seguridad al usarlos, me quedo con los link buds. yo soy mas sencillo y prefiero siempre algo discreto. y eso fue lo que influyó en mi elección. otra cosa ya son la calidad de sonido etc. creo que ofrecen algo muy bueno, dentro de la gama existente.
How do the Linkbuds S compare to the Jabra 7 Pro/Active? Looking for something relatively low profile, and can currently get the Actives for $150. Are these worth it over the Jabras?
Last week, I have return my Jabra elite 7 pro for buy the linkbuds S because i have a wh-1000-xm4 and i want just one apps on my phone and i love my wh-1000xm4. The Anc is better for me on Jabra Elite 7 pro. I think the Anc is very bad on the Linkbuds S. I hear the sound of car on the street. at the gym, the ANC does not filter any noise. I thought I was in transparent mode but no.... I'm disappointed and i have return on Amazon. I have buy wf-1000-xm4.I hope it will be better Sorry for my english !
@@natesmith3653 oh yes you are right, Sennheiser is the best of the best sound quality and i love this. But he is very expensive at 245$. I have buy my wf1000xm4 on Amazon Warehouse for 170€ in very good condition. I use just for sports and work... To listen in good conditions i use my WH1000XM4 at home. But thanks you !
I have a question, does Linkbud S and the case feel cheap? I have a chance to touch it at best buy and I felt it was like something from Aliexpress, please advise
It feels like plastic on a budget car's cupboards and consoles, because that's literally what it's made of. I handled the blue one briefly and it seems a bit more matte as it also has recycled water bottles added to the mix (sadly it is a bit more expensive in North America and often avoids the sale price of the other colours).
Not sure why everyone's so up in arms. The XM4s were on sale for $110 refurb with two years warranty. The Linkbuds S were on sale for $85 refurb with two years warranty. $25 difference is well worth it for the better product. Chill people.
Hello bro Which one sound quality,anc,bass? *Sony link buds s *Soundpeasts Opera 05 *Earfun Air 3 pro *Sennheiser CX True Wireless *Samsung Galaxy buds pro What would your rank be like? Thanks You king 👑
I just bought my Linkbuds S today. The bass is definitely not as punchy as the XM4, but I can't complain considering the price difference. Aside from that, almost all of the features are still there, the ones that are not there are not needed anyway. But I notice when switching to different ambient modes, or when connecting to my phone, instead of the female voice notifying me, there's just these ringtones. The earbuds are still on version 1.0.1. Considering what happened to my XM4 after updating to the 1.4.2, I will not update my Linkbuds S. I can't find any thread online of people having the same problem, but I don't think Sony is really so cheap that they take a away the voice guide from this model and replace it with just the ringtones instead (I have Voice Guidance turned on by default). Could anyone provide any input on this? Thank you!
@@maximes4428 The EQ is bad. I can bring out the mids but too much and it sounds papery and thin, while clear bass just makes it sound puffy and distorted.
i don't think it "addressed" flaws of the basic LinkBuds, considering the very short time (few months maybe?) between the release of the two. you simply can not (re)design, test, put into production - especially in this volumes - a product in such a short period.
I found that both earphones are pretty much the same price! the difference is shipping time, the LinkBuds take over a month whereas Xm4s just a week or so. I want a good pair for workouts, would the xm4's perform as expected?
I can only recommend the Sony Wf-1000xm4 for jogging 🏃 if the are very secure in your ear, otherwise you will hear the "step noise" and it's really bad then. But for me, they are holding very secure ☺
Wow. I didn't even know these were an option. My Jabra Elite 75T Active's just died on me. Amazing headphones. Super comfortable to wear at night. Seeing as how the XM4's look a little too big to fit that purpose for me, the Linkbuds S look like the sweet spot. Battery life is a little meh, but I won't complain if they're comfy. Thanks so much for the review. It's awesome to see that they're so similar in sound, and actually better at call quality than the XM4's.
@Bryan I disagree with the review. I've been A-B listening to both and there's a massive difference in audio performance, especially if you're a >75dB listener. The XM4s are immersive, meaty, and even holographic in comparison to the linkbuds. The linkbuds are much thinner sounding with sloppier imaging, questionable mid/treble separation, muddier treble, and MUCH less impactful/dynamic bass (Sony app +10 boost matches +0 for the XM4 maybe for volume but not quality). Worse is that sub-bass falls off quickly as volume goes beyond 50% on the S21 ultra -- like how the Homepod speaker DSP boosts bass at low volumes but can't keep up if you try to fill even a small room. At higher volumes, the linkbuds forget nearly all sub-bass just to try and survive. Weaker amplification is likely the price paid for such an amazingly small and comfortable design. If blinded, I would guess that the linkbuds are using a single 5mm dynamic driver and the XM4s are using a 7mm dynamic driver with a couple balanced armatures for highs. Bottom line: for podcasts and TH-cam, linkbuds all day, but for musical immersion, XM4s. For the linkbuds soundstage, the musicians are between your ears, but with the XM4s, your ears are between the musicians. I wish there wasn't this huge difference because I would much, much rather wear the tiny, light, and nicely textured linkbuds with their better microphones and competitive ANC. Both have really limited bud-based controls compared to Jabra 7 Pros (muffled mics) and Sennheiser M3s (uncomfortable for me), especially if you want to use the buds independently.
@@thegrimmer After actually going out and buying them and listening to them, I ended up returning them and getting the Jabra Elite 7 Pro's. Although I have some minor gripes in comparison to the 75T Active's, but since I can't seem to get my hands on those for a reasonable sum, I'm content with my Elites. Overall much better sound IMO as well. I still wanted something smaller so I could sleep with them in my ears. I'm sure the XM4's handily beat the Linkbuds as well. Thanks for the follow up personal review, my friend.
@@b1_ferg Yeah the 7 Pros might be the most comfortable buds I've ever tried, including passive. I just needed a bit more clarity in calls after years of complaints. Cheers.
Man believe me these are the ONES!. My Powerbeats Pro died and decided to buy one with ANC. Tested Beats Fit Pro, Galaxy Buds 2 and Jabra Elite 85t. I got to say , Linkbud S is the whole Package. Comfy. Good sound and ANC is wayyy better than the rest. Is almost like the XM4 . I Can have this all day long. The app has so many settings when you go into the EQ you can have these sounding MUCH better than the Beats and Jabra, just some tweaks, I even like them better than the XM4 because of better highs and much richer , you can add more base with the app in “Crystal Boost” I have mine@ +4 . Can’t go wrong with these. I think these are only topped by Senheisser and Tecnichs but the size and weight just make them better fit and a better option.
Bonjour de France ! Merci pour tes vidéos détaillées :) Pour savoir si les xm4 filtrent plus de bruit avec les mousses qu'avec les silicones, pourrais-tu tester en mettant les silicones des linkbuds S sur les xm4 ?
Sound quality cannot compete against 10€ MH-1 or MH-755. Why do I need to tweak it to sound good? Why is the soundstage so narrow? An why did I pay 200€ for this?
@@aaronloudnwireless Can you elaborate please? In my country they're priced the same, and my top priorities are comfort and best anc possible, but sadly I can't go and try them in any store, and I can't return them if I bought them. I really need help deciding whether the linkbuds will give the same anc as xm4 with the foam eartips
i think wf xm4 is not worth 300-400$ the comfort is not there.. the sound is not as loud.. but if you want best anc out of tws this the way to go. but 300-400$ no.. go for bose qc earbuds if you dont mind the 90's style bluetooth earbuds lol.
for me, the "LinkBuds S" got loose after a short time.. tried the Ear-Tips from the "Sony Wf-1000xm4" on the "LinkBuds S" and they were very secure in my ear 👂🏼.
Hola que tal, un par de preguntas, cual tiene menos latenia para juegos? cual tiene bajos mas potentes? y cual tiene mas volumen? es lo que mas me interesa saber
I was very excited about these but i heard the transparency mode isn't even close to the linkbuds. I think most people that bought the original got it because of that and the linkbuds s are more like the usual buds just smaller.
No shit sherlock. Next you will tell use the isolation of open back headphones is not as good as closed back ones or that you are disappointed with lack of noise cancelation when not wearing Linkbud S.
Great informative video,thank you ! I think the xm4 are a little bit "cheating"with noise cancelling with the foam tips, I liked the link buds , but it was not possible for me to get a secure fitting.and I am not the only one with this problem.to many movement in my face muscles.perhaps Botox could fix it 😉.so the link buds s are for me the best choice for every day use. to enjoy music they are very good,but for my ears not the same level as the soundcore liberty 3 pro.
the Sony Wf-1000xm4 are very secure in my ear 👂🏼. The "Sony LinkBuds S" are getting lose after a while. but when using the Ear-Tips from the Sony Wf-1000xm4, then the "Sony LinkBuds S" are very very secure 👍🏽
@@dibidibadibidibou I think that the Pixel buds pro are better for all the advantages that you have with the Google ecosystem (Google assistant, fast pair, gesture, 360 audio that will be implemented...), but I also think that overall the linkbuds S are a little bit better (Anc, transparency mode and especially comfort), and cost less. I'm trying to decide which one to buy, but I really can't find out which pair of earbuds Is the best with a Pixel 7
@@dibidibadibidibou if so, I think the linkbuds S would be the choice, but it also depends on your priorities. In any case you have to give up on some features. For example, in my case, the only thing that stops me from getting the linkbuds S is the extreme completeness and the convenience of use that you would have with the Pixel buds!
Transparency is "worse" it also has a much louder "hiss / rush" wich was very annoying IMO (tested on the 07-08.2022) sound is better than the Sony Wf-1000xm4 and LinkBuds S (from what I've heard)
I got my XM4 to sound more open with changing EQ. I got it to sound more smooth and open not neutral more close to that. I can't upgrade higher then 1.4.2 with firmware just yet.
So my eq settings will probably sound different with 1.5.0.

Clear bass: -8
400 Hz: -7
1 Khz: -5
2,5 Khz: -1
6,3 Khz: -6
16 Khz: -5
The thing is with smoothing out the frequencies you get more instrument seperation and a more open sound in my opinion (because you're removing peaks in the frequency response and giving more space to all the frequencies). I'm using the Spinfit CP360 tips on my XM4 too which I like - so not the foamies. Loving your in depth reviews thank you for the work you put in.

I found that the Linkbuds S still packed good sound, not as good as the XM4's however still very good, but most importantly, the comfort on the Linkbuds for my ears were much preferred over the XM4's, thats not to say that i'll be putting my XM4's to one side, they will be getting used time to time, I just feel like the Linkbuds S will be more for my daily wear to avoid ear fatigue over long periods of sitting at my desk whilst working. Thanks for the comparison video too Aaron, always great to see your videos and appreciate everything you have to say.
Thank you for watching! Appreciate your input!
@@aaronloudnwireless Hey Aaron, i'm curious to know have you personally or know of anyone who has experienced call connection issues with the WF-1000XM4 or the Sonylink buds S with iPhone iOS? I thought it was only my XM4's that I was experiencing this issue. During calls the connection for me would randomly drop, my earbuds would no longer be connected to my phone, then about 3-5seconds later they would reconnect, the person on the other end would be able to hear me during this disconnect but I am not able to hear them as I would get the device disconnect tone on the earbuds, during a call this can happen multiple times. I have been using the Sony linkbuds S for calls over the last couple of days and have experienced exactly the same behaviour. I have tried reseting them and repairing with both sets of earbuds, the XM4's were fine for a little while but soon enough I started experiencing the same again. I know others have experienced the same after reading some posts on Reddit but it doesn't look hopefully Sony will be addressing this issue. Hoping you can shine some more light on this topic. Thank you
@@prashy89 im only on Android and used the "Sony Wf-1000xm4" & "LinkBuds S" for calls.. no problem there.. (Android 10)
Hi, how much did you buy the linkbud s?
@@tramthuy6190 120 - 140 € is the lowest price here in Germany 🇩🇪
Are they loud ? i want them for edm mostly , i want loud and a lot of bass are the the ones?
Nice review 😊👌
Thank you 🙂
thx i am about to buy it now =)
I have to hit the like just because of traditional chinese sub, great video
I love the LinkBuds S! Small and light. Very decent sound (better than my airpods pro), and the noise cancellingis not perfect, but good enough, and it feels so much more comfortable than that of Apple. They’re also small enough than it’s comfortable to side sleep with them.
My only nitpicks are:
- the battery, especially the case.
- And compared to my over the ear XM5 the bluetooth connection is not as strong when I move around the house.
Overall super happy with them. I don’t use my airpods pro anymore; I rotate between the Linkbuds and the big XM5 now.
My dynamic duo is the link bud s and the airpod pro
When one dies im happy to use the other until charged
I had so many issues with the linkbuds i returned them. Cool feature mine came with, if i used the awareness mode at some point it would give me the wonderful surprise of a max volume piercing whine. I hated these buds.
bought this right now after watch your video
hopefully it'll be better than my galaxy buds 2 which sound a bit digital, and the anc sucks
Hi Aaron, i m yr huge fans on yr channel. Just wonder Linkbuds S vs Jabra 75t which one with better performance such as call quality, ANC. thank you.
I tested the Jabra 75t and they were "absolute garbage" compated to the Apple AirPods Pro
(mid 2021) maybe they improved with software updates.)
the "Sony LinkBuds S" are great but not better than the "Apple AirPods Pro" just different:
better sound and ANC but "worse" transparency Mode.
Linkbuds s support LC3 codec so it has a way lower latency than those with aptXLL the thing is that only more modern phones use it such as the S23ultra and Iphone 14pro, great video anyway 👌 thanks to you I bought the linkbuds s 👍
I love the original linkbuds for outdoor use. Great video Aaron.
Thanks! 👍
Linkbuds S are great earbuds- watching this now using them. They’re the most comfortable earbuds I’ve used, plus they support multipoint bluetooth connection. Love the textured plastic feel of the buds & case. I just returned a set of Beats Fit Pros(too big for my ears, no multipoint) & replaced them with these Linkbuds.
Can you tell in the phone call they work good other person can hear you properly in
Crowd and also notice cancellation
@@atharvpandey3142 All of the above.

So, which one should I buy
I am going from 9,99$ JBL Tune 110 to the linkbuds s. Lets see what 15 times the money gets you.
Im using xm4 for 8 month. Not comfortable with the foam eartips. Painful. But now i change it using Spinfits eartips. Daily use 5-8hrs with no problem. Love the ambient.. Hope sony keep on improve in term of design 😂.
@@Brigand17 have tried all sizes, maybe foam type not suit me well
What spinfits...?👍✌️
If Sony don't improve xm4's with firmware updates, this will be the last time I'm buying their premium products.
Been waiting for years for Sony to deliver on their promises for leading call quality on the XM4s.
Bruh my xm4 left earbud dies in under 45 min like wtf
Why
agree bro, my xm4 just past one year the right earbuds could last only 30mins now totally disappointing after paying a premium price tag… losing interest with sony products now
@@sandomen123 😆😆😆
my xm4 sounds really sibilant no eq, straight out of box.the only reason i am returning them. is my pair faulty?
How do you see it compare with jabra elite 7 pro?
I have the xm4 but I'm using them so much I need something more discret for outside and light. I think I'll take those it seems like a good compromise, specially now that they are 150e
Cool
crisp and bright is nice imo.. especially for classical music..
What if I put the foam tip of xm4 on linkbud s? will they be on par in ANC?
yes, and for me, they even were very secure in my ear 👂🏼
(whilst with the original silicone Ear-Tips, they didn't stay in my ear 👂🏼)
I just bought linkbuds s. why i sounded even not equal my airport fake. sound like shit. can you guys give me best eq settings for this one?
Nice video Aaron! Now i wondering buy the Linkbuds S.
I have also a pair of WF 1000XM4 im super happy with. But its more "work" to make them fit correctly every time i put them in my ears, and i must often press several times when i wearing them to have the right sealing. Use the largest foam tips, the medium is way to small. I've tried silicon tips but its was not good for the XM4.
It can be hard to use them for a long period. My WF C500 and WF 1000XM3 are more comfy to use for long periods. But i love the small case on the XM4.
How is the comfort on Linkbuds S compared to the C500 ? I can easily use mine for 10 hours without feeling ear fatuige.
hardly anything fits perfectly for me, but the WF1000XM4 with silicone tips gave me perfect fit for the first time in my life. the problem with silicone tips is that you need to tip roll, so if you've been buying brands that just don't fit you, the cons is that even when you explore all size options, you still won't have a good fit. But silicone ear tips provide superior and cleaner sound, and once you have the fit correct, silicone tips let you just pop the IEM in without the hassle of foam tips. but due to sound quality, i will always avoid foam tips. i'd return the IEM if no silicone tips work because the foam sounds audibly worse the moment i use it, even if it seals properly.
They are more like the xm4 mini. I bought both of them and the noise cancellation is about the same and the sound is very similar.
Question is, does it have the same nightmarish battery problem like the XM4? I just tried to change the batteries of the XM4 today and broke the flex cable of the right earbud by accident. I won't waste another dime on this. I'd rather buy a new set, and preferably a new model
This could help th-cam.com/video/G6KIL5xMhKU/w-d-xo.html
Hi, could you make a video about how to get Linkbuds S sound like WF-1000XM4?
Can i put foam tips on linkbuds s? Thanks
I didn't like the xm4 1000 too painful for ear after 1hr use.. might try the linkbuds s
When you use Sony Linkbuds S in outside from rec a whatsapp audio or whatsapp call ramdomly change drastically the soud quality of the audio…the sound start great but after 20 seconds turns in something very muffled
Couldn't locate transparency in your review Aaron - how do they compare?
Also which sounds better: Linkbuds S or Beats Fit Pro?
Their transparency seemed pretty similar, just as transparent to me. Haven't heard the Beats Fit Pro yet
Damn near even in terms of sound quality and ANC. I got the Sonys at launch and I’ve been using the Beats every single day since November. Transparency mode is way better on the Beats tho

tengo los linkbuds S y me encantan. los prefiero por que son un poco mas versatil y su sonido es realmente convincente e impactante. es de calidad y tiene bajos potentes.
el unico punto en contra es que no tiene carga inalambrica y los microfonos no son del todo perfectos, pero es son cosas de gustos personales. la conectividad es optima al igual que la bateria. el ANC es increible para un producto tan pequeño.y ademas cuando activas el ambient es increible.
el xm4 son muy buenos pero su diseño no me gustó y no son discretos.
si los comparo con los airpods en general, Considero que los sony, son lejos mejores que los airpods.

Is better LinkBuds S or Jabra elite 85t?
How do the Linkbuds S compare to the Jabra 7 Pro/Active? Looking for something relatively low profile, and can currently get the Actives for $150. Are these worth it over the Jabras?
Definitely worth it over Jabras imo, but try them in store first before buying if you can
Last week, I have return my Jabra elite 7 pro for buy the linkbuds S because i have a wh-1000-xm4 and i want just one apps on my phone and i love my wh-1000xm4.
The Anc is better for me on Jabra Elite 7 pro. I think the Anc is very bad on the Linkbuds S. I hear the sound of car on the street. at the gym, the ANC does not filter any noise. I thought I was in transparent mode but no.... I'm disappointed and i have return on Amazon. I have buy wf-1000-xm4.I hope it will be better

Hey 😁 Those are from a brand called Lightflex
@@aaronloudnwireless Thanks Aaron
I have a question, does Linkbud S and the case feel cheap? I have a chance to touch it at best buy and I felt it was like something from Aliexpress, please advise
Yes I agree, the texture of the product itself feels cheaper than the more premium models, but does not feel any less durable
It feels like plastic on a budget car's cupboards and consoles, because that's literally what it's made of. I handled the blue one briefly and it seems a bit more matte as it also has recycled water bottles added to the mix (sadly it is a bit more expensive in North America and often avoids the sale price of the other colours).
And what about xm4 with silicon from segmafit ? Does it do better than link buds s ?
In my experience, the XM4s ANC takes a big hit if you use silicone.
What are your eq for this
Not sure why everyone's so up in arms.
The XM4s were on sale for $110 refurb with two years warranty.
The Linkbuds S were on sale for $85 refurb with two years warranty.
$25 difference is well worth it for the better product.
Chill people.

Thanks You king 👑
I just bought my Linkbuds S today. The bass is definitely not as punchy as the XM4, but I can't complain considering the price difference. Aside from that, almost all of the features are still there, the ones that are not there are not needed anyway. But I notice when switching to different ambient modes, or when connecting to my phone, instead of the female voice notifying me, there's just these ringtones.
The earbuds are still on version 1.0.1. Considering what happened to my XM4 after updating to the 1.4.2, I will not update my Linkbuds S. I can't find any thread online of people having the same problem, but I don't think Sony is really so cheap that they take a away the voice guide from this model and replace it with just the ringtones instead (I have Voice Guidance turned on by default).
Could anyone provide any input on this? Thank you!
You can use clear bass +4 for punchier bass.
@@maximes4428 The EQ is bad. I can bring out the mids but too much and it sounds papery and thin, while clear bass just makes it sound puffy and distorted.
Anyone bought the earth blue? I'm afraid it's too flashy and noticeable.
i don't think it "addressed" flaws of the basic LinkBuds, considering the very short time (few months maybe?) between the release of the two. you simply can not (re)design, test, put into production - especially in this volumes - a product in such a short period.
They may have designed them both, released one to test the market first, then the other.
I found that both earphones are pretty much the same price! the difference is shipping time, the LinkBuds take over a month whereas Xm4s just a week or so. I want a good pair for workouts, would the xm4's perform as expected?
They definitely would
I can only recommend the Sony Wf-1000xm4 for jogging 🏃 if the are very secure in your ear, otherwise you will hear the "step noise" and it's really bad then.
But for me, they are holding very secure ☺
in my country the price difference is miniscule. For the same price XM4 brings bigger battery, better sound, better ANC and wireless charging.
Wow. I didn't even know these were an option. My Jabra Elite 75T Active's just died on me. Amazing headphones. Super comfortable to wear at night. Seeing as how the XM4's look a little too big to fit that purpose for me, the Linkbuds S look like the sweet spot. Battery life is a little meh, but I won't complain if they're comfy.
Thanks so much for the review. It's awesome to see that they're so similar in sound, and actually better at call quality than the XM4's.
No problem, thanks for watching!
@Bryan I disagree with the review. I've been A-B listening to both and there's a massive difference in audio performance, especially if you're a >75dB listener. The XM4s are immersive, meaty, and even holographic in comparison to the linkbuds. The linkbuds are much thinner sounding with sloppier imaging, questionable mid/treble separation, muddier treble, and MUCH less impactful/dynamic bass (Sony app +10 boost matches +0 for the XM4 maybe for volume but not quality). Worse is that sub-bass falls off quickly as volume goes beyond 50% on the S21 ultra -- like how the Homepod speaker DSP boosts bass at low volumes but can't keep up if you try to fill even a small room. At higher volumes, the linkbuds forget nearly all sub-bass just to try and survive. Weaker amplification is likely the price paid for such an amazingly small and comfortable design. If blinded, I would guess that the linkbuds are using a single 5mm dynamic driver and the XM4s are using a 7mm dynamic driver with a couple balanced armatures for highs. Bottom line: for podcasts and TH-cam, linkbuds all day, but for musical immersion, XM4s. For the linkbuds soundstage, the musicians are between your ears, but with the XM4s, your ears are between the musicians. I wish there wasn't this huge difference because I would much, much rather wear the tiny, light, and nicely textured linkbuds with their better microphones and competitive ANC. Both have really limited bud-based controls compared to Jabra 7 Pros (muffled mics) and Sennheiser M3s (uncomfortable for me), especially if you want to use the buds independently.
@@thegrimmer After actually going out and buying them and listening to them, I ended up returning them and getting the Jabra Elite 7 Pro's. Although I have some minor gripes in comparison to the 75T Active's, but since I can't seem to get my hands on those for a reasonable sum, I'm content with my Elites. Overall much better sound IMO as well. I still wanted something smaller so I could sleep with them in my ears. I'm sure the XM4's handily beat the Linkbuds as well. Thanks for the follow up personal review, my friend.
@@b1_ferg Yeah the 7 Pros might be the most comfortable buds I've ever tried, including passive. I just needed a bit more clarity in calls after years of complaints. Cheers.
My 75tA also just died, what did you buy and how happy are you with it? :)
Man believe me these are the ONES!. My Powerbeats Pro died and decided to buy one with ANC. Tested Beats Fit Pro, Galaxy Buds 2 and Jabra Elite 85t. I got to say , Linkbud S is the whole
Package. Comfy. Good sound and ANC is wayyy better than the rest. Is almost like the XM4 . I Can have this all day long. The app has so many settings when you go into the EQ you can have these sounding MUCH better than the Beats and Jabra, just some tweaks, I even like them better than the XM4 because of better highs and much richer , you can add more base with the app in “Crystal Boost” I have mine@ +4 . Can’t go wrong with these. I think these are only topped by Senheisser and Tecnichs but the size and weight just make them better fit and a better option.

@@aaronloudnwireless Can you elaborate please?
In my country they're priced the same, and my top priorities are comfort and best anc possible, but sadly I can't go and try them in any store, and I can't return them if I bought them. I really need help deciding whether the linkbuds will give the same anc as xm4 with the foam eartips
i think wf xm4 is not worth 300-400$ the comfort is not there.. the sound is not as loud.. but if you want best anc out of tws this the way to go. but 300-400$ no.. go for bose qc earbuds if you dont mind the 90's style bluetooth earbuds lol.
how does the linkbuds S do if you use the foam tips of XM4 on it?

Airpods pro 2 are about to come out, so probably will get that comparison
I was very excited about these but i heard the transparency mode isn't even close to the linkbuds.
I think most people that bought the original got it because of that and the linkbuds s are more like the usual buds just smaller.
No shit sherlock. Next you will tell use the isolation of open back headphones is not as good as closed back ones or that you are disappointed with lack of noise cancelation when not wearing Linkbud S.
Great informative video,thank you !
I think the xm4 are a little bit "cheating"with noise cancelling with the foam tips,
I liked the link buds , but it was not possible for me to get a secure fitting.and I am not the only one with this problem.to many movement in my face muscles.perhaps Botox could fix it 😉.so the link buds s are for me the best choice for every day use. to enjoy music they are very good,but for my ears not the same level as the soundcore liberty 3 pro.
