Will not stay in your ear… even after purchasing gripping aids.
PriscillaW –
They’re okay. Can’t seem to get a good fit sound quality could be a lot better. I wish i would have returned for refund or credit.
BigRed –
I love them. I use them for work. They are do not offer the same open back sound as regular headphones, they allow me to when someoneccomes in and u dint have to takevthem off to listen. The case fits in the small pocket of my jeans, and i can get a ciuple of days use between charging the case.
IvanS –
They do not stay in my ear good enough. The left earphone doesn’t work anymore. The hard plastic that has audio piece is painful overtime to have in my ear. You can’t clean out the ear wax build up unless you break open the cap and kinda stick it together. Interesting design but there’s no comfort and doesn’t stay in the ear to well.
Gbupp –
I got these to be able to hear around my house and have meetings without having to take my headphones off at my job all the time.
I was pleasantly surprised that I am able to go running and cycling in them without issue. A lot of reviews indicated this would be an issue – but for me it was not.
The silicon interchangeable pieces do a far better job than you would think securing it, just make sure you actually get them in your ear the right way (I suspect many people with issues are not placing them properly).
Sound is great for what they are. Battery life is good, better than okay but lower than outstanding. I have a lot of issues with my ear and pressure changes, these cause none which is fantastic.
Overall highly recommend.
Court –
Great earbuds if you dont like active noise cancellation. Plus no silicone tips equal no pressure build up in your head.
MahneFrame –
These are ok. I feel like they tear through the battery life and the case only charges them 1.5 times. They also DO NOT stay in my ears. Especially if I’m eating food and eating food also pauses and starts songs. And today I was brushing my teeth and it fell out of my ear and went straight down the drain. It’s gone. So now I have one ear bud and the case. Great.
I think they need to redesign them to have a bit of a conical shape with an angled hole. Irritating that they fall out so easily. None of the different sized ear pieces are nearly firm or large enough for my ears , my sons ears, or my buddies ears. Must be made for smaller ears.
CarlJ –
Not too loud. Bass quality is quite low. Can be loud depending on surroundings.
Samh –
Good fit, decent sound bass is a little weak would definitely recommend
Mwalkuski –
These things are really great for what they are, open ear earbuds. They can be a little too quiet in some situations, but those are very rare. I have a pair of isolating earbuds for times like that. One thing i don’t really like is that you have to have both earbuds out in order to use them, specifically they don’t turn on unless the right one is out. I am deaf in my right ear so I don’t have s need to wear anything in there, do that’s one downer. Another is after a few hours of wearing I have to take a break as they will start making my ears sore. Overall though i am pleased with them though. The auto stop when you’re talking to someone is awesome as well as the auto adjust volume.
TEHANKS –
I bought these hoping they would be more comfortable for my smaller ears. Other models of in-ear buds have always rubbed or become uncomfortable after having them in. Even with the smallest insert, these were super uncomfortable. They also frequently stopped working or cut out for no reason. I returned and went with the AirPods Pro and they are fantastic for small ears.
nickname –
Randomly stopped working from me sweating too much
LedzairS –
No the best, I was expecting a better quality from sonic, the sound it’s not the best, and it could hurt your ears if you use it for a long period of time
Junior –
Love wearing these at work since i am able to listen to my music and also able to hear my surroundings
FranciscoT –
I love this sony ear bud. They are very comfortable, nice clear sound an you can hear your surroundings and even quiet when you start speaking to somebody great purchase for the price.
Penev –
the sound is amplified to maximum, everything else is heard, but no sound from the headphones. It’s terrible
TiffanyM –
My ears are small so even with the smallest ring it still pops out sometimes. That said, these have great sound and I am still able to be aware of my surroundings. Overall good purchase
Slicinarie –
Great sound but a really weird fit. Your ears have to be the perfect dimensions
Acer81 –
I’ve owned two pairs and both have had the left speaker die abruptly. I like Sony, but these are not it.
Jboyd –
These air buds are great i love them i never go anywhere without them. Great quality and sound.
Jjjj –
Not for me, I guess I can see the potential use for these headphones in certain jobs.
Paul –
I love this product but it does have a few things I wish I could figure out. They cut out a times when I’m playing music but they are one of the better earphones I’ve owned. I just need to do some research and I’m sure I’ll be able to fix but I would recommend them. They are not noise canceling but that’s why I bought them I can enjoy music and know what’s going on around me. Really like them.
Doby –
these are great if you want the open ear feel. lay flush with nothing sticking out of my ear. almost like not wearing anything. great for podcasts and ok for music. I hope they make a second generation with even more comfortable fit and better battery life
RobertH –
Sony link buds are great. The do everything i needed in an earbud. I dont have to pause my music or take them out when somebody speaks to me. Perfect for flying.
Christine –
they was big hard and hurt my ears i would never buy again
JenniferM –
These were great for about a year. Sound quality is good and I love that I can easily carry on a conversation while music is playing. But, after a year battery life started to degrade. Battery life has gotten so bad that they are unusable after less than 2 years. Batteries won’t charge to full even after being plugged in for several hours. The left bud goes from about 80% charge to empty in under 30 minutes. The batteries discharge to empty while just sitting in the case overnight. I would have and did eagerly recommend these to others for the first few months I had them, but I can’t do that anymore for a product that dies after less than 2 years.
KeeganM –
During my time with the link buds i fell in love with their sound quality however i would recommend trying them at your own risk because they may be uncomfortable for you specific ears.
RobertL –
I like them, and they are comfortable. But sometimes they disconnect when I’m talking!!
Mallavaughn –
Doesn’t fit in ear well, despite swapping grips. Sound is fine… as long as you are in a quiet area. Any outside sound make it hard to hear what is playing. Randomly skips songs or stops playing as if i tapped it. Returned less than a week after i bought.
Claire –
Decent sount quality, good mic quality, they fit my ears greay but they might not fit yours. Plus side, if they don’t, best buy has a good return policy. I wear them when working out in the city so I can still hear my surroundings and to bed sometimes while listening to white noise. Only downside for me so far is the battery life.
snyderdobes –
Did not like at all, really hard to put in ears and keep them in the ear, returned for the Beats ear pods
Lajuan –
Started out good, the sound was on point, they were comfortable, but they stop working after 3 months. As much as I paid for them, they should work forever.
SherrieR –
I did not like these at all. Was recommended by a Best Buy employee. I have an Android phone these are recommended for Apple. I could not get the volume to turn up very loud. Did not like the way they fit in my ears.
ChristopherY –
I was really excited about this product and, honestly, really enjoy the fit and sound quality. Unfortunately, that’s only for when it works. A little more than a year in and the right earbud refuses to hold a charge for more than 5 minutes. I can’t recommend this product as it failed right after the warranty period, rendering my purchase moot.
JustinC –
Great for the purpose, fits my ears well, allows me to hear my surrounding, great for cycling or jogging. Also comfortable.
Govexec –
The price was reasonable for this device and they had it in stock. Sales person was very helpful too.
ScottM –
They fell out, the are not loud enough, sound is subpar. Don’t get
MichaelB –
Bad broke after a month and couldn’t get a look at by best buy even when i pay for the warranty
SparkyPete –
Within a month the right bud become muted in sound output. Unfortunately I sent the case through the wash in a pair of pants. It would be awesome if the charging case had some higher water resistance as a case being forgotten in pants is a high possibility. The lower review is really due to the fact that the earbud became muted to 50% and didn’t have high use.
ChuckJ –
Could not get to fit well in my wife’s smaller ears
KBB1 –
These are the best pair of ear buds I’ve ever had. They fit great and the sound is awesome.
NancyL –
Awesome earbuds ! Great quality , love the open ear detail on the earbud
CatherineH –
They are very uncomfortable. Miss lead my sales person. I had them in my ears so not sure if I can return. Not worth the money at all!
Brian –
I would give these a 5 star but after a year and half owning them the battery just drains when not in use. And reading online it seems like a common problem. It’s a shame because they were my favorite buds clocking in 250hrs. I love open ear design and hope more companies pick up on this.
Mao22 –
I loved them, sounds extremely well and you can hear the exterior sound with no problem, it fits to the ear really good, the only little problem is the batery life, it only gives you no more than 5hrs then you have to recharged them agian.
Fraglvlagnet –
Great sound quality, like the open style sound, and the battery life was great….until it all but failed. Have been using for 15 months and the left bud has recently started only lasting 20-30 after being charged all day and showing 90+%. At this price point I really expected atleast 2 years of use, guess I will be shoping a different brand.
EfrainL –
pain in the ear don’t feel god and hurts to expensive for what is worth it
Marlaivan1021 –
I’ll have to return this item because it’s so difficult to use can bearly touch it because either will pause music or will end the call also hard to have it inside my ear canal it gives me a lot of pain also sound is not as good is very low
ColbyS –
If you find yourself pausing what your listening to, to hear those around you often. Consider these. Comfort might be an issue if you use all day.
MichaelF –
I have small ears.. so these fit perfect.. and light weight..
