Sony LinkBuds \u2013 An Overview<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Sony LinkBuds has been one of the excellent options for providing you access to one of the most potent prospects among the best audio products in 2022. It does look a little quirky when it comes to its appearance in comparison to the other wireless earbuds.<\/p>\n

The ring-shaped tips should be what would make it stand apart from the rest. It would nestle quite gently and comfortably into the curves of your ears. The final result of this design is the best degree of comfortability that it provides you access to.<\/p>\n

The plastic construction of the headphones would make them extremely lightweight. You would get access to as many as five different detachable silicone ear fins – extra small, small, medium, large, and extra-large.<\/p>\n

The new earbuds come with the new control mechanism that Sony loves calling Wide Area Tap. The technology is turned on by default. This is equivalent to the regular on-the-ear tap control, but you would tap the space in front of the ear. You can slightly tap on your face to skip the songs.<\/p>\n

The earbuds will work great if you download the Sony Headphones Connect app. The compatible app makes it one of the unique choices for a compelling companion app.<\/p>\n

The EQ and firmware update provides you access to a more remarkable performance along with the Sony 360 Reality Audio feature. The feature does support only a few streaming services as of now, but we will look for updates in the future.<\/p>\n

The app brings many essential improvements in terms of the customization of the on-ear controls. Each earbud comes with an individual control profile. A host of control options offered through the companion app would include gaining control over volume, the ability to go back to a song, voice assistant activation, and Spotify access.<\/p>\n

The adaptive volume control should be yet another great option that you would find quite interesting and unique. The earbuds work with Bluetooth 5.2 and support the AAC codec and the default SBC. You do not have access to any Bluetooth Multipoint option.<\/p>\n

As for the battery backup, if you go with the consistent output peaking at 75dB (SPL), you would get a backup of 5 hours or at the most 6 hours. That should be a good option in terms of the truly wireless earbuds.<\/p>\n

The charging case would provide another 12 hours of battery backup. The earbuds support USB C charging but do not support wireless charging. You can also get access to the fast-charging capability. The 10 minutes of charging can provide 90 minutes of listening to your favorite music.<\/p>\n
