This review is for anyone looking at the LinkBuds Fit as their daily headphone, whether as a commuter, at the gym, working from home, or just someone who values comfort and sound in a single unit. We take apart what makes these earbuds special, what they get right, and what they get wrong, and even compare them with other lineups like the WF-1000XM5, WF-C700, or the first LinkBuds.

Sony sells the LinkBuds Fit as an intermediate hybrid: it is more advanced than the entry-level WF-C500 but not as rich in options as the flagship XM5. As a set of earbuds, they focus on adaptive sound, lightweight, and good ANC to provide an all-around sound while maintaining affordability. In this review, we will look at all the facets to determine whether they actually live by that mantra.

Design & Build Quality 

After opening Sony LinkBuds, you will be impressed by their cool and modern design. These earbuds are not bulky or heavy like traditional earbuds, but they are thin, compact, and simple in design, and they have an open ring in a small size to fit around your ears very gently. The main thought behind this unique shape of the earbuds is not just to make them look nice, but the real dedication is to help you stay aware of what is going on around you. You can hear the background noises while enjoying the music. The earbuds have a very smooth finish and have a matte look. On the other hand, to make the look even fancier, earbuds have soft curves. 

The fit and comfort of LinkBuds are so perfect, and they stay securely in your ears without causing any ear fatigue. You can wear these earbuds for long sessions very comfortably. Well, the earbuds have soft silicone tips, which make them perfect for bending in your ear canal, even when you are exercising or commuting to work. People who have small or medium. These earbuds will be perfect and comfy in your ears. But for people with a little bit of earwax, you will feel these earbuds a little tighter. Wearing them all day is made simpler by the open ring design, which also results in less pressure inside your ear than traditional.

The water resistance rating of these earbuds is IP55, and they can withstand dust, light rain, and sweating. With this rating, these earbuds make a perfect match with people who are fond of exercise, heavy workouts, and spending most of their time outdoors. These earbuds from Sony are available in 3 different colors, which are light beige, white, and black. Although these earbuds are available in limited colors, these simple colors are an excellent choice and fit in every style smoothly, whether it is personal or professional. 

Fit & Comfort

Sony LinkBuds Fit Truly Wireless are the earbuds that are specially designed with comfort in mind, and are ideal for all-day use. Real-life usage of these earbuds is also significant. The total weight of these earbuds is just 4.1 grams, which makes them extremely lightweight and compact. You do not even feel that you have put your earbuds in your ears. These earbuds are so comfortable to wear that you can carry them in your ear while you are listening to your favorite playlist, you are on a call, or passing through a rushy city; they will give you a comfortable feel for hours. 

Sony Linkbuds Fit comes with very soft silicone tips that are in a brilliant shape. Additionally, the snug fit of the earbuds is so perfect that they will not fall out of your ears, and you do not have to adjust them repeatedly. They don’t give you the “plugged” feeling that many in-ear buds do because you don’t have to press them in deeply. It can stay firm and in place even when you are moving a lot at the gym, which makes them perfect for people with an active lifestyle. 

The best feature of these earbuds is their lightweight, as they feel so light in your ears. You will not feel these earbuds pressed very hard in your ears, which can cause fatigue. Your ears will feel comfortable and breathy because of the open-ring designs these earbuds have. Overall, the LinkBuds Fit are a fantastic combination of stability, comfort, and light weight, ideal for lounging and exercising. 

Features & Controls 

Touch controls are also activated on the Sony LinkBuds Fit and are located on the sides of each earbud. This makes them easily accessible to manipulate playback, calls, and voice assistants without having to take their phone out of their pockets. When set, the single tap will play/pause music or answer calls, and the long press activates an ANC or Ambient mode. The touch sensitivity is solid and relatively steady on a daily basis, with the surface area slightly smaller than that on larger earbuds.

Personalization is excellent on the control front, courtesy of the Sony Headphones Connect app. With the app, you may assign a variety of actions to each earbud, e.g., volume control, skipping a track, or calling up your voice assistant. It is not possible to assign multiple functions at once since there are few gestures, and the flexibility can still be handy. Firmware update, adjusting ANC level, and equalized preset settings to customize sound using the app are also possible.

Functions of voice assistants, such as voice partners with Google Assistant and Alexa (Siri to iOS users), are handy and provide touch-free operation in checking the weather conditions, setting reminders, or controlling music. Voice pickup is good and responses fast, as long as there is a good internet connection.

The LinkBuds Fit also have convenient and innovative functions. Auto-pause is enabled, so when you take off an earbud, it starts again once it is put back in. The other distinct Sony feature is the Speak-to-Chat, where music is automatically stopped whenever you speak or talk, thus being helpful in offices or when commuting. The Adaptive Sound Control computer program is able to consider your motion and space and determine the degree of noise cancellation and ambient noise on the move. Such innovative capabilities make everyday use feel that the earbuds are truly smart and intelligent.

Noise Cancellation & Transparency Mode
Sound Quality 

In the earbuds like Sony LinkBuds, despite their tiny size, Active Noise Cancellation works really well. However, they cannot compete with Sony’s premium and high-priced earbuds, such as WF-1000XM5 or the Bose QuietComfort Ultra, but they still work admirably in blocking the maximum noise from the background. These earbuds can block out low-frequency noises such as the noise of car engines, city traffic, or the hum of the air conditioner. These earbuds are perfect when you want to use them in public transportation, coffee shops, or offices. 

Regarding the transition between noise cancelling and transparency, the AirPods Pro 2 remain much easier to transition between than the others, and the Bose QuietComfort earbuds are superior at noise cancelling. However, unlike other earbuds such as the JBL Live Free 2 or Galaxy Buds2, the LinkBuds Fit are more intelligent when it comes to modulating the sound, depending on what you are doing.

Additionally, the application learns from your daily activities and then works to adjust the features according to your habits. The Transparency Mode (or the Ambient Sound Mode) is an audio quality. People are talkable without being too loud or strange sounding, and other background sounds are also predictable well. The Sony app also lets you alter the volume of the external noise you want to hear.

However, when you are in a loud place like a train or a busy street, the ANC cannot block these loud noises completely, but the low noises are cancelled efficiently, and you can enjoy whatever you are listening to peacefully. Along with all these features, the most stunning feature you get in these earbuds is its Adaptive Sound Control.  You will find the most innovative feature that Sony offers, because with it, the ANC and Ambient Sound settings adjust automatically in accordance with the environment.

 The noise cancellation will be lowered automatically when you are walking, so you can hear the surroundings. On the other hand, the noise cancellation will go higher when you are sitting idle on your desk, so that you can enjoy your space. Additionally, the application learns from your daily activities and then works to adjust the features according to your habits. The Transparency Mode (or the Ambient Sound Mode) is an audio quality. People are talkable without being too loud or strange sounding, and other background sounds are also predictable well.

The Sony app also lets you alter the volume of the external noise you want to hear. Regarding the transition between noise cancelling and transparency, the AirPods Pro 2 remain much easier to transition between than the others, and the Bose QuietComfort earbuds are superior at noise cancelling. However, unlike other earbuds such as the JBL Live Free 2 or Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, the LinkBuds Fit are more intelligent when it comes to modulating the sound, depending on what you are doing. To sum it up, these may not be the most powerful of the noise-canceling features, but the transparency features are very clever and so amazingly effective at that size and price.

Battery Life & Charging 

Sony LinkBuds Fit Truly Wireless Earbuds have a strong battery life, which works really well for the majority of users. When you use these earbuds with the ANC Mode turned on, the playback time is up to 6 hours per charge. On the other hand, using earbuds with the ANC mode off, battery life extends to 7.5-8 hours on every charge. And this playback time is really good for such thin and lightweight earbuds. Using these earbuds when you are commuting, working out, or listening to music, the battery of these earbuds lasts for hours, and you can enjoy your activity nonstop. 

On the other hand, the charging case of the earbuds is so compact, and it can charge the earbuds twice completely. With this capacity of a charging case, you can use the earbuds for almost 20 hours with the ANC mode on. The charging case uses a USB-C cable to charge, but the drawback is that you do not get the option of wireless charging in these earbuds. 

These earbuds also feature fast charging, so when you charge them for 5 minutes, you can get almost 60 minutes of playback time. This feature makes these earbuds super reliable for people with busy routines. In short, the battery life of LinkBuds is strong, and you can rely on it in your busy life. Along with the fast charging feature and charging case, these become the best earbuds that everyone should have. 

Connectivity & Compatibility 

Sony LinkBuds Fit earbuds come with Bluetooth 5.2 for a strong, reliable, and energy-saving connection with different devices. With this Bluetooth, it becomes very easy to pair with the devices. Google Fast Pair speeds things up much more if you’re using an Android phone. On the other hand, if you are an iPhone user, these earbuds have a smooth setup for you as well, but it might not be as soft and tight as you get in Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro. 

One prominent feature that you are going to miss in these earbuds is Multipoint Connection, which means you can not get connected to two or more devices at the same time. When you are paying this much price, people expect this feature to be available in these earbuds. If you are such a person, you might get disappointed as you can not switch between devices. 

The connection is strong and reliable once the earbuds are connected. The Bluetooth range of these earbuds is almost 10 meters, or approximately 33 feet. Another strong point is that when you are in a crowded place with too many connections, the signal stays strong.

App Experience (Sony Headphones Connect)

The Sony Headphones Connect application is the key to the real possibilities of the LinkBuds Fit. Set-up is easy; it takes you through the steps of pairing, such as Adaptive Sound Control, as well as customizing touch controls upon initial connection. The interface is simple and easy to understand, with a homescreen displaying battery information of each earbud and the charging case. It also presents the opportunity to access sound options, noise control settings, and feature switches without a great deal of rooting.

Among the best are a customizable Equalizer (EQ), which features several preset options (such as Bright, Bass Boost, Vocal, etc.) and a manual 5-band EQ. The app offers a compact, intuitive interface with which you can tweak your sound profile without any difficulty, whether you are tightening up your bass or clarifying your vocals.

Sony also offers its Adaptive Sound Control through the app, which can self-regulate the level of noise cancellation it should apply and the degree to which it should play ambient sound. It can adapt settings automatically, whether you are walking, sitting, or commuting-providing an activity-aware listening experience. Finally, the app supports firmware update: you can be sure that your earbuds will have all the latest releases and features. It is a balanced, multifaceted performer as a day-to-day companion.

Performance in Real-Life Scenarios

Sony LinkBuds Fit Truly Wireless Earbuds have the best performance when used in a quiet place like your room or your office. Additionally, the call quality of the earbuds is so impressive and strong, making your sound more natural and audible. Earbuds have built-in noise blocking and microphones, which reduce the background noise significantly. Although the quality does not match that of Apple’s AirPods Pro 2, it is good enough. 

On the other hand, when you are in an outdoor environment, choosing these earbuds is a good choice. Additionally, these earbuds have Adaptive Sound Control, which enhances your hearing and blocks unwanted noise, making them safe and strong. They are comfortable to wear on your ears and do not easily fall off, and the small case is pocketable. In very noisy settings (such as a busy road or railway station), the noise isolation does not suffice in blocking all the sounds.

The LinkBuds Fit is ideal for use in a workout. They are water and sweat-proof (IP55) and, therefore, are resistant to damage. They do not make any efforts to come off during a run, weight lifting, or fast workouts. They are also lightweight and do not press onto your ears, giving you freedom to wear them without feeling pained. Its design also allows one to listen to some external sound, which is convenient when walking outside.

In flying, the noise canceling minimizes aircraft engine noises and makes your music or movies sound great. They are not as powerful as the leading models of Sony WF-1000XM5 or Bose, yet they can help. The battery capacity of 6-7 hours is sufficient to cover most of the flights; the quick charging function is convenient when there is a layover. The LinkBuds Fit are a solid value overall that give excellent audio performance in day-to-day use, whether you are at home, outside, during a workout, or on the road.

Final Verdict 

For use in day-to-day routine, Sony LinkBuds Fit Truly Wireless Earbuds are the best pair you can have because of the comfort and innovative features they offer. What makes these earbuds perfect is their lightest weight and the perfect fit they give you to wear them all day long. Another reason that you should have these is their noise cancellation and ambient mode, which is adaptive according to your activity and location. When compared with top earbuds, the noise-cancelling ability is less satisfactory, but it is still strong enough to make the audio balanced and clear. In noisy places, the call quality is not strong enough. Along with that, what most people are going to miss is the multipoint connectivity and the wireless charging. The most admiring fact about these earbuds is their IP55 water resistance rating. It also supports fast charging for people with an active lifestyle. These earbuds will suit individuals who lead active lifestyles, such as fitness enthusiasts and those seeking comfortable, intelligent, and affordable earbuds. The value of the LinkBuds Fit is good at the price, if you prioritize ease of use, innovative sound features, and comfort over the best noise-cancelling or high-quality sound quality.
