Sony LinkBuds Review

An ecosystem play masquerading as a portable speaker, the Sony LinkBuds Speaker is a beautifully executed home audio companion that prioritises convenience over sonic thrills. If you're already invested in Sony's ecosystem, this makes perfect sense. For everyone else, JBL and Ultimate Ears offer more bang for fewer pounds.

The Sony LinkBuds Fit were made to fit any type of picky ears. You can also customize them with different color sleeves, tips, and wings!

Also absent, however? Good noise cancelation and transparency modes.

The Sony LinkBuds S still hold their own in 2025 with solid sound quality and very good noise cancelling for the money making them effective everyday earbuds.

The Sony LinkBuds Fit strike a solid balance between form and function. At ₹18,990*, they offer a comfortable fit, chic design, and thoughtful features like the head-tap control. But they also compromise on two key things: ANC and sound quality. In a market filled with strong mid-range contenders, that might hold them back. If style and comfort top your list, these buds are worth considering. Just don’t expect flagship-level performance… they’re quite good, but just not game-changing

The Sony LinkBuds Fit carve out a sweet spot between performance, comfort, and thoughtful features and deliver where it matters most for daily use. What impressed me the most, though, was just how comfortable these earbuds are. Without digging deep into the ear canal, they manage to stay securely in place and deliver surprisingly good passive isolation, making them easy to wear for long stretches. On the performance front, the LinkBuds Fit deliver polished, everyday sound with rich detail and a wide soundstage, even if the slightly bass-heavy tuning may not win over purists. The companion app offers some useful features like Wide Area Tap and Speak-to-Chat that add to the convenience without feeling gimmicky.The Sony LinkBuds Fit carve out a sweet spot between performance, comfort, and thoughtful features and deliver where it matters most for daily use.

The LinkBuds Open are satisfying sequel to the original LinkBuds with improvements to sound, battery life and design. They won’t be for everyone, but they’re a solid choice and a more affordable alternative to the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.
