Earphones are a crucial part of daily life these days with Sony's LinkBuds S appreciating what needs to go into a pair of earphones to ensure they seamlessly fit into your everyday life.
Delightfully designed, the Sony LinkBuds S are shaped in a way that perfectly matches the human ear so you get a more stable and comfortable fit all day long. Also, the world's smallest and lightest noise-cancelling Hi-Res truly wireless headphones, you'll almost forget you're even wearing them. With plenty of game changing features you didn't know you needed in your life, let's take a look at what makes the Sony LinkBuds S an unmissable pair of earphones.
1. Study focus without distraction from family
Sometimes, you just want to zone out from the world. Sure, it's great to live with friends or family but when you're trying to study, you need to be able to focus on what you're doing. Thanks to the Sony LinkBuds S offering fantastic noise cancellation features, you can shut out environmental noises and focus on what you're listening to without being disturbed. Need to take in the world again? The earphones can automatically switch between an Ambient Sound Mode and full noise cancellation whenever you want.
Even better, there's Adaptive Sound control which is capable of cranking up the volume whenever something noisy happens around you, before turning back down when things are quiet once more. There's no need to make any adjustments yourself either as the Sony LinkBuds S can learn your behaviour and regular places you visit, adjusting accordingly. Giving you the best of both worlds ensures you'll always have the best sound quality.
2. Creative hobbies with a mindfulness appeal
It's a little too easy to be distracted by the world, even when we all know that being mindful and focusing on one thing at a time is healthier for us. Noise cancellation may help here but that's no good if you can't or won't wear earphones for long. Fortunately, the Sony LinkBuds S are designed for longevity. They might only weigh 4.8 grams but they pack in impressive battery life. On their own, the earbuds will last up to six hours, covering most of the working day. Combined with their charging case, you get an extra 14 hours of power. Running low but short on time? No sweat. A five minute charge gives you back 60 minutes of playtime which should suit most people in a rush.
Thanks to their great design, the Sony LinkBuds S match your ear so you get a more stable fit as well as a more comfortable experience. These are expertly designed earphones so you'll soon forget you're even wearing them. You can simply leave them in on your commute before heading home to relax and listen to the latest music releases in pure, unadulterated comfort.
3. Getting immersed in your music
Listening to your favourite music is always great but what about if you get to listen to it at an even higher standard? Music buffs know that wired headphones generally perform better than wireless solutions but the Sony LinkBuds S provide a far superior experience to your average earphones. That's because the earbuds use Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) to faithfully and accurately restore music to its original high-quality level. Any time an original music source is compressed, it loses the high-frequency elements that make a track sound rich and full of detail. DSEE corrects that issue by upscaling the files in real time so you get a better listening experience.
The LinkBuds S also support High-Resolution Audio Wireless thanks to its inclusion of the LDAC codec. That means it can transmit around three times more data than conventional Bluetooth so you can enjoy music at a quality close to a dedicated wired connection.
Able to reproduce powerful bass and crystal clear vocals, the LinkBuds S sound great no matter what music genre you're listening to. Even when taking in movies or podcasts, the LinkBuds S sound super crisp.

Offering you the kind of audio that makes you feel like you're actually at a concert or right next to your favourite singer or musician, the technology makes you feel truly immersed in what you're listening to. You may feel like you've heard your favourite tracks countless times but thanks to the Sony LinkBuds S, it'll feel fresh and exciting all over again. It's perfect for winding down after a long day or simply losing yourself to the magic of music.
4. WFH and receive and make calls or attend meetings with ease
Sure, we all love to listen to music but sometimes you need to take calls, especially for work. With the Sony LinkBuds S, there's no need to take your earphones out to do so. The earbuds are packed with great features for making sure you sound crystal clear on a call, and you can hear clearly what's being discussed.
That's because the Sony LinkBuds S offer precise voice pickup technology with advanced audio signal processing. The person listening to you will hear your voice come across clearly, even if you're picking up your morning cup of coffee in a busy cafe, or your commute is extra loud that day. Sony has implemented a noise reduction algorithm that has been developed using AI machine learning using more than 500 million voice samples. What that means for you is that the Sony LinkBuds S can suppress ambient noise while extracting your voice clearly from all the aural clutter.
Sony promises that the Sony LinkBuds S has its best ever call quality because of this, so it's great for using during your busy day. Even on windy days, the Sony LinkBuds S are able to minimise wind noise around the microphone so no one will notice the issue. That also means you won't have to crank up the volume but if you do, the Sony Headphones Connect app will give you a heads up if the volume level is too high for your safety.
Mid-way through listening to your favourite album? Speak-to-Chat means that music is automatically paused as soon as you speak to someone in the office or around your home, so you can hear just ambient sound while you talk. The music starts straight back up once you're done.
5. Exercise - long walks in the sun
One of the most traditional times to use earphones is when you're working out. Luckily, the Sony LinkBuds S do an amazing job at this. Thanks to their IPX4 rating, you don't have to worry about sweating too much or the odd splash from a rain shower. Your earphones will always be safe.
If you're running outdoors, you're going to love how Adaptive Sound Control means that music will always sound exactly as clear and loud as you need it to be, even if you happen to run past something noisy. Minimised wind noise also helps out here.
Ultimately, whether you're looking for earphones to use to listen to a podcast while lifting weights, or you're looking for a dance music focused companion while you run, the Sony LinkBuds S makes sure that you get effortlessly impressive audio every time. You can even control them by using your voice thanks to Alexa and Google Assistant support, meaning there's no need to lose your rhythm simply because you want to skip a track or play something else.
If you want a flexible, wearable and beautiful-sounding pair of earphones, the LinkBuds S are available in matt white, black and ecru directly from Sony for just £149.
