Hear the world around you with the brand-new LinkBuds
LinkBuds connect all your worlds perfectly with an open ring design that allows you to hear calls, music and other online content anytime, as well as the ambient sounds around you transparently, all whilst feeling nothing on your ear! Small and light with super fit styling for hours of comfortable wearing, they ensure you're always connected to your life, so you'll never miss a thing.
So how does this unique design work? The newly developed ring-type driver unit allows for audio transparency. This means you'll hear when someone calls your name during a call or can chat with friends while listening to music on your Bluetooth® earphones.
Call quality on these earphones with mic is fantastic, with our Precise Voice Pickup Technology delivering crystal-clear sound to the person on the other end of the phone, even if you're in a noisy environment.
For you, you'll hear incredible sound quality every time, our Integrated Processor V1 reproducing all the detail in your music for rich, well-balanced sound and DSEE technology restoring compressed files closer to the original recording quality.
Featuring a number of smart listening features such as Adaptive Sound Control, as well as a Wide Tap Area for greater playback control, LinkBuds are super easy to use. They are also IPX4 water resistant, with up to 17.5 hours of battery power, and fast charging, so you never have to switch your ear phones off.
Features:
Connected and aware.
With dual listening capability you can also hear the world around you with these unique earbuds.
These Bluetooth® earphones feature a newly developed ring-type driver unit, with the centre of the diaphragm open for audio transparency, allowing you to clearly hear the sounds around you and feel your ear totally open. You'll hear when someone calls your name during a call and can chat with friends while listening to music.
Hear calls and music clearly
Linkbuds are your perfect mobile phone companion.
With Precise Voice Pickup Technology that optimally controls multiple microphones and performs advanced voice signal processing, the person on the other end of the call will hear your voice clearly, even when you are in noisy situations. Our noise reduction algorithm was developed using AI machine learning using more than 500 million voice samples to suppress ambient noise and extract your voice clearly in a wide range of environments.
Enjoy balanced, high quality sound with a clear mid-high range. Our Integrated Processor V1 reproduces all the detail in your music with minimal distortion for an authentic listening experience. A specially designed 12mm ring driver with a high compliance (low recoil) diaphragm provides rich, well-balanced sound that’s ideal for beat-heavy tracks.
When an original music source is compressed, it loses the high-frequency elements that add detail and richness to a track. Our Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) on these in-ear headphones faithfully restores the elements to produce high-quality sound that’s closer to the original recording.
Everyday ease
LinkBuds may be small but they are still easy to use . With the Wide Area Tap, you can use double or triple taps in front of either of your ears to control your music playback – so there’s no need to touch the LinkBuds themselves to operate.
Adaptive Volume Control is a smart function that automatically optimises volume based on where you are. Enjoy lower volume in quiet places and higher volume in noisier environments with your in-ear wireless headphones.
Swift pairing feature makes for easy connection to your mobile phone
Be ready for splashes and the day ahead
With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these Sony earbuds – so you can keep on moving to the music.
If you are using these ear buds for sporting actvities, you can still hear the world around you - for example chatting with your running partner or hearing any hazards in your environment.
You can enjoy a full working day of charge – 5.5 hours – from your headphones and store another 12 hours in the case. That means a full 17.5 hours of listening time every time you leave the house with your Sony Bluetooth® headphone. In a hurry? Just a 10-minute quick charge gives you up to 90 minutes of play time, and the Sony | Headphones Connect app will even notify you when your charging case drops below 30%.
