Manual of product LinkBuds
Editorial note
The Sony LinkBuds stand out for their lightweight and ergonomic design, weighing only 4.1 g per earbud, providing optimal comfort for long listening sessions without fatigue. The advanced wireless connectivity, thanks to Bluetooth 5.2 technology and True Wireless Stereo (TWS) connectivity, ensures a fast and stable connection, although the 10-meter Bluetooth range may be limited in certain environments. The battery life of these earbuds is impressive, allowing for continuous audio playback of 17.5 hours and quick charging in just 10 minutes, making them ideal for daily use without frequent interruptions. Additionally, their compatibility with voice assistants such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple Siri makes voice control easy. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The audio quality for calls is not optimized, as the LinkBuds do not feature HD Voice functionality, which can affect the clarity of conversations. Furthermore, the communication time of 2.5 hours may be insufficient for users who need extended battery life during their calls. Finally, although the in-ear design offers good sound isolation, it may not be suitable for all users, as some may experience discomfort after prolonged use. The absence of a charging dock in the packaging may also make recharging less convenient. In summary, the Sony LinkBuds are an excellent choice for those looking for lightweight and high-performing earbuds, but it is important to consider their limitations in terms of communication and comfort.Score details
