Review: Sony Linkbuds, little ones that hook you to yourself

Sony Linkbuds Features

Each of the headphones weighs 4.8 grams which makes them imperceptible at times, their sound ranges from 20 Hz to 40,000 Hz which allows you to enjoy content both in apps such as Spotify, even Tidal. They are compatible with both Android and iOS and its battery is 450 mAh.

They have IPX4 resistance and, like several of the Japanese brand’s headphones, they have gesture control, which you can configure directly in the Sony application.

According to the company, the Linkbuds are made from recycled plastic from car parts, which reinforces one of the company’s goals for the environment.

What strengths do the Sony Linkbuds have?

One of the aspects that I liked the most in this new installment of products is the interface of the Sony Headphones application, because now in the “Status” tab we will have adaptive sound control and a player to control music from the app itself, as well as the charging status of the headphones and the case.

From there, it is also possible to equalize the headphones and have the sound cancellation options that you want, whether you are looking to live the 360 ​​Reality Audio experience or that allow you to have an input of external sound. It is also possible from here to program the commands or gestures with which you will communicate with the hearing aids and choose which is the touch for music, to take a call or to fast forward a song.

Compared to other hearing aids, the adaptation they have in the ear is peculiar and answers the question about the ‘little leg’, since it allows the hearing aid to be encapsulated in your ear and avoids this uncomfortable sensation of noise cancelingwhere it seems that you are entering a plane.

In addition, its case and battery performance is optimal and allows them to be great companions.

What can be improved?

Sony has been characterized by having a legacy of good sound in its products, both in speakers and headphones; However, despite the fact that the Linkbuds comply, they have some problems when updating, especially when the music has a lot of bass.

Another aspect to improve and that seems to me more a matter of comfort is wireless charging. I am a person who often forgets to connect my wearables to recharge them, but I have a wireless charger that guarantees that while I am at home they will be charged so this feature will be appreciated in the next generation.

In summary, if you are looking for good and comfortable headphones to take calls all morning, this pair will be very useful for you.
