Natural ambient sound or high quality noise cancelling
These earbuds give you the best of both worlds - natural ambient sound when you want to interact with your world, high quality noise cancelling when you need to focus. LinkBuds S automatically switches between Ambient Sound Mode and noise cancelling depending on where you are and what you're doing.
Comfortable and secure
LinkBuds S combines a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit. We've designed LinkBuds S utilising extensive ear shape data collated since introducing the world's first in-ear headphones in 1982, as well as evaluation of the sensitivity of various types of ears to ensure an ideal shape that is comfortable for many people.
Ultra clear, noise-free calls
With Precise Voice Pickup Technology that optimally controls microphones on the outside and inside of the earbud, and advanced audio signal processing, conversations are ultra clear, even in noisy environments. Our noise reduction algorithm was developed with AI machine learning using over 500 million voice samples to suppress ambient noise and extract your voice clearly.
Listen all day, charge in minutes
You can enjoy a full working day of charge - 6 hours - from your headphones and store another 14 hours in the case. That means a full 20 hours* of listening every time you leave the house. In a hurry? Just 5 minute quick charging gives you up to 60 minutes of play time, and the Sony | Headphones Connect app will even notify you when your charging case drops below 30%.
Multipoint connection for Android devices
Automatically connect and switch to new devices with just a tap of the play button. Available for Android devices.

Receive OS notifications when listening levels are too high. LinkBuds S also feature intuitive touch control settings. You can assign your own functions to each earbud using the Headphones Connect app.
Talk and hear only ambient sound
You can set Speak-to-Chat to automatically pause the music as soon as you speak to someone, so you can hear just ambient sound and conduct a conversation - handy if you want to keep your headphones on or your hands are full. And once your chat is over, your music starts playing again automatically.
Instant pause. Instant play.
Just take the earbuds out of your ears and the music stops - a proximity sensor knows when you are wearing one or both earbuds. Pop the earbuds back in and the music starts again.
Control with your voice
Get hands-free help - Just say "Hey Google" or "Alexa" to activate your preferred voice assistant. Listen to music, connect with friends, get noti?cations, set reminders, and more.
