Fits My Needs
WFL900/W 18 April 2022 by seximarilyn (USA)
Sony LinkBuds have a unique and innovative open ring, donut-shaped design that allows you to hear the outside world in addition to your music. Included in the box, are a handful of detachable silicone ear fins of different sizes. After some experimentation, I found the fins that fit my ears best. The lightweight buds feel soft but are still quite durable. Even after several straight hours of wearing, the compact and discreet buds felt very comfortable in my ears. Despite the buds small size, they deliver strong audio quality with a well-balanced, crisp and clear sound. However, the bass could be a bit deeper. The battery life of 5.5 hours on a single charge is good but not great. The voice call quality is suberb with excellent clarity. I love the ear-detection sensors that automatically pause my music when I remove a bud from my ear, and then resumes the music when I put the bud back in my ear. I also appreciate the buds' Wide Area Tap feature which allows me to tap my cheek to control playback. Although, these water-resistant buds don't offer noise cancellation and do allow environmental noise in, I don't mind so much. As someone who for personal safety reasons wants to be extra alert with an increased awareness of my surroundings, these earbuds achieve what they're designed to do and perfectly fit my needs.

Linkbuds UC - Probaby skip buying it
WFL900/H 16 March 2023 by caznaran (USA)
NOTE - This is a review for the product "LinkBuds Truly Wireless Earbuds - Teams Certified Version - Model: LinkBuds UC". The model does not exist at the time I registered the product on the Sony US site, so I had to register it as a random WF-L900 headset. This product did not have a single review at the time of purchase, so I decided to take a "leap of faith". Disadvantages: - They do not feature noise cancellation. But I didn't choose them for that but wanted them to have the best ambient noise possible since I would be using them to commute to work. - They do not have volume up/down buttons or gestures. THIS IS IMPORTANT! - Microsoft Teams functions can only be activated on the left earbud. You can't change what this headset does, so if you want to customize any gestures, you can only do it on the right earbud, and options are limited. - If you activate the voice assistant, it doesn't read notifications to you automatically, you will have to ask it from time to time. - Battery time is low, compared to similar cost options. Advantages - By design, they have the best ambient noise you can ask for, it is simply the best choice if you want to be aware of your surroundings while commuting to work. - The integration with Microsoft Teams is natural and very useful when you use the USB dongle. Too bad you don't have the same experience when using it on your cell phone with the same application. No mute/raise hand features when using Teams on your smartphone.

Two big fails
WF-L900 16 November 2024 by Gravely Headstone (Australia)
The things that I liked : The robustness of the packaging, and the total lack of plastic in the packaging. How easy it was to connect the Linkbuds and get them playing music How easy it is to check the state of charge of the charging box, and the Linkbuds, using the Sony App The amount of playing time per charge. Fail 1 : No matter which of the silicon end pieces I use, the Linkbuds will not stay in my ear. The problem seems to be that even when the plastic of the Linkbuds is hard against the cartilage of my ear, the silicon end piece is not far enough in the ear canal to form any sort of bond that will keep it there. I have to wear a sweat band over my ears to keep the Linkbuds in place. Fail 2 : The biggie. The Linkbuds S are supposed to be Noise Cancelling. When the NC function is activated, it introduces a very audible flutter/rasp in the right earpiece - the noise you would probably get when a breeze blows over an unprotected microphone. The left earpiece.does not suffer from this affliction. But, between the two of them they do no Noise Cancelling at all. Switching between NC and Ambient Sound produces no discernable difference in sound. There is a difference when the Ambient Sound Control is switched OFF and all the introduced noise stops.

WF-L900 30 October 2024 by Paco79 (Australia)
I purchased these headphones to replace my old wired ones and to take them with me on the go. So far i can't fault them. Comfort is important to me as i'd like to be able to use the headphones for long periods of time and they deliver. Great sound, great comfort, excellent price. what else can be asked?

Not too bad
WF-L900 24 October 2024 by LeahL (Australia)
These are a great set of buds. Comfortable. Sounds great. The only downside is the battery life. When listening to music I barely get 4 hours out of them. If using them for work and online meetings it is even less. Other brands I have used have lasted me at least a whole work day. Disappointing for the price but if that issue was fixed they'd be perfect.

Doesn't work without the right piece
WF-L900 24 October 2024 by AK272 (USA)
Only two months I lost the right side piece, have been looking for it. Want to use the left ear piece, but can't because it won't work without the right side.

Amazing product
WF-L900 09 October 2024 by Jaydn (Australia)
I had jaybird vista sports before I got the link Bud S and I’m glad I swapped the have the same features as the jaybirds and more being able to swap from noise cancelling to ambient noise due to the inbuilt speakers in the link buds along with other features including badges make them much better and fun to use as it’s like gaming with ear buds 🥰😂

WF-L900 16 September 2024 by RNR79 (USA)
I like everything about these headphones except for the awful battery life. These barely last 2 hours on a full charge. Not even close to the stated time of 5+ hours.

Great open ear design to fit any ear size
WF-L900 01 September 2024 by Alister (United Kingdom)
I bought these primarily for running, so the open ear design allows a little ambient noise in which is helpful to hear road traffic, or race marshal instructions, whilst still maintaining excellent sound quality. I have small ears so always struggle with in-ear buds just being too big but these are very small and come with a really big selection of rubber fitment bands to secure into any ear size. I've been using these for over 2 years and never had any connection problems across three different phones. They always connect and always play in sync, without any breakup or distortion.

I really wanted to like these
WFL900/H 30 August 2024 by Onculus (USA)
I really liked the design and case on these open earbuds but I don't know if it's my ear shape or something else but I constantly have to readjust these in my ear for them to stay put no matter what size of the rubber loop I place on the buds. However, easily the worst part(and the reason I decided to return) is the touch controls. I've never had a pair of earbuds with more inconsistent touch controls. I spent multiple weeks hoping I would master the finger positioning and every time I thought I was getting the hang of it I would lose all control and be relegated to relentlessly fingering the earbud to no avail. Sometimes my earlobes would even activate them out of the blue. This really sucks as these earbuds are competitively priced with good sound quality and are so comfortable you can forget their in your ear but I just got worn down over time.

Dropouts

Brand new, first day of use, fully charged, but experienced intermittent dropouts. This is a replacement - the first pair did the same, also brand new.

Nice sound
WF-L900 12 August 2024 by MartyLeavesley (Australia)
The only complaint is my inability to pair the Buds to 2 devices. The instruction for pairing a second device appears to go round in circles and back to the starting point. Compared to my previous Jabra buds, the Sony ones are far more complicated to set.up.. even the App is complicated to navigate

Cool Sony Headphones
WF-L900 01 July 2024 by Sony_Fan (United Kingdom)
Needed to replace my previous Sony headphones that I lost. After a little research made this my choice - and I'm very pleased with the choice I made! ;-) Small & compact - fit into my jeans watch pocket. Long lasting battery life - can go days to a week+ without using and there is always enough charge for playing music. Comfortable to wear - not really a fan of the inner ear style of earbuds/headphones that you push into your ears canals, so this alternative design style to wear is great and designed to give near noise cancelling effect yet still allows you 'to hear the outside world'!
