Sony Linkbuds Open Review: Better Battery, Softer Sound

 

Sony's updated open earbuds add better battery life and a different sound signature for all-day wearability.

Naturally open design keeps you aware in any situation. Improved battery life and better bass response. New stabilizer fin is more secure. Advanced features like built-in voice control and head gestures help supplement touch controls. Multipoint...

Limited and sometimes spotty touch controls. New sound signature is flatter and fuzzier by default. Updated design is heavier. Adaptive Volume still needs work. Still no wireless charging case.

One of the best earbuds I've tested for outdoor listening are not made by Shokz or Bose

 

Sony's latest LinkBuds Open debuts with software as forward-thinking as ever but has some hard-to-miss hardware imperfections.

Future-forward software upgrades and intuitive features are the highlights of the new Sony LinkBuds Open earbuds, but the discomfort I experienced superseded the new and improved features that blew me away. I couldn't wear them long enough to fully...

Sony LinkBuds Open Review: These Are Not Earbuds!

 

In this comprehensive Sony LinkBuds Open review, I share my honest opinion of these open, ANC-free headphones and their very special design.

Comfortable, discreet design ; Surprisingly effective support ; Very good battery life ; IPX4 certified ; Comprehensive Sony Audio Connect application

Bass is far too subdued ; No wireless charging for the case ; One size does not fit all

Would I recommend the Sony LinkBuds Open at $180? Yes, but I might not have done so at their launch price of $199.99. The Sony LinkBuds Open is a unique pair of wireless headphones. So unique, in fact, that I don't even view them as headphones. The...

Sony MDR 605LP Open Air Headphones

 

Once, when visiting CES in Vegas I've tried some Sony cans that look exactly like these. (Stupid me, never wrote model number down). Sound was amazing and fit very comfy. So when I found 605 on BUY.COM it was no brainer. To my great frustration 605 I...

Sony MDR 605LP Open Air Headphones

 

Overall, I like these heaphones. They feel great, don't overheat your head, the bass and mid is awesome, and the trebles are almost TOO good. Those neodymium magnets are really piercing with the treble. So just crank the bass, and tone down the trebel....
