Sony LinkBuds S - Better Than XM4?
The Sony LinkBuds S Noise Cancelling true wireless earbuds have arrived and I'm here to give you my complete review after a few weeks of testing! I'm also here to let you know if the Sony LinkBuds S are actually worth their $200 asking price and whether or not they are better than the Sony WF-1000XM4.
Thank you to @ThisIsTechToday for the help with figuring out the software bugs. Be sure to check out his comprehensive review of the Sony LinkBuds S.

They still working fine? Been hearing about issues with these earbuds which make me scared to buy them but kinda want to.
Nice review, very informative and comprehensive. I went for the linkbud S which are at £120. Light, comfortable reliable, multipoint device (recent update, Sony are good for updates), very good sound. Good mic. These are one (two) of the most practical earbuds I've had, love them. I'm happy with the touch controls. I'm only after play and pause, though I can take an ear bud out of my ear or use speak to pause. I occasionally use volume controls. I used the EQ setting to lift the mids slightly which I prefer for listening when out and about. I'm using Apple music on my LG v60, having switched from Spotify. The difference is great and the same price.

Thank you for the good review! I bought my Linkbuds S recently so I struggled a lot with usage of just one of the earbuds (left one). So I was so unhappy that I can't use just the left one, but thanks to you I understood the problem. So, thank you! Also I will want to have the possibility to make my own choice of the functions of each earbud. I don't want a limited set of options in groups. Also I want both earbuds to be used independly and fabric options to be the same. Extremely light and comfortable. Fit very well in my ears. I have also Galaxy bud pro and they have excelent sound (better than Linkbuds S) but they fall all the time from my ears. They are extremely uncomfortable for me. So I'm happy with my new purchase.
Great review! Thank you very much!

I agree that I want the option to decide exactly what each tap option does. I don't want just a limited set of options in groups. There should also be a single bud option where if you're only wearing a single bud, it'll have an option set for that. There are controls that I'm always going to want, and losing pause/play and forward or back because I'm only using the left isn't really acceptable.

Hi my boy el jefe! I listen rock and metal! I like very loud… beats fit pro or sony linkbuds S? Thanks
Something I've grown to dislike is the idea of there being an absolute undisputed king in the audio space as an overall blanket. Not that some can't be objectively better than others, but a good selection of the top really aren't in the same category as the rest. Like the soundcores are the undisputed best V shaped TWS. It would be objectively better with a bit more mids and a knocking the treble down a touch, but those are things you can easily add in the app. But then you got these sony's which are easily one of the best for neutral/warm neutral tws. I'd imagine it must be pretty hard as a reviewer to go about that because so many people just want an easy reply to "whats the best? " as if it had a simple awnser

Hi @EL JEFE, I am considering this against the jabra elite 4, the jabra is cheaper in my country (about 35 dollar cheaper). I saw in your jabra's review and that you said the elite 4 has stronger ANC compare to jabra elite 7, how is the linkbuds ANC compare to the elite 4? (is there a 35 dollar worth ANC difference?)
While it's nice to see a smaller design for those who just couldn't bare the xm4 I just wish they'd give their earbuds a gaming mode. For how much they push it on their phones it kinda makes no sense to have their Bluetooth headphones not have something like that. As long as the sound isn't as warm as it was on the xm4 where certain artists vocals would sound a bit muffled I'd be fine with these honestly. Lol the only thing is the battery life which is honestly crazy on the xm4. It's good to see they fixed the volume though. I feel it was less of a bug, and more of them thinking since the anc is so strong that it'll cancel out enough noise for louder volumes to not matter, which is dumb, but compared to other earbuds the xm4 were too quiet for me and that's what ultimately made me switch to the LG tone fp9

Good video! Agree on mostly everything... but I'll challenge your opinion on the Sound Quality. 1MORE EVO then the L3P's. Soundcore does give the L3P an advantage in terms of EQ though. But to my ears the Evo's are not as sibilant out of the box, and are indeed more comfortable due to their lighter build (5.8 grams) to (7+ grams) on the L3P's.

Great to hear thanks a ton.
I want to replace my old Realme earbuds. I'm between the LinkBuds S and the Technics AZ60, which ones would you recommend? ANC and sound quality matter the most to me. BTW, thank you for all your reviews! You're the best

While on the phone with the linkbuds, where you getting a soft popping sound? Like a fizzy drink?

Not that I'm aware of.
So want these buds but just returned the original linkbuds because of their limited tap controls and customization.
Good Day Sir El Jefe 💜

Soundcore. More features, better sound, lower price.
Great vid, how are the linkbuds s vs jabra elite 7 pro for ANC, ambient and sound quality?

Agreed. Elite 7 Pro should have been better. The fact that their own Jabra Elite 4 outperform the Elite 7 Pro speaks volumes.
i have both the 1 more EVO, and the Sony link buds S, I'm torn between them. which would you get/keep? ill be returning one of them.

i always prefer comfort and good anc which linkbuds s offers (I always listen around 40-50% of volume so can't really differentiate the sound quality over other). definitely a good tws earbuds.
I would like customize touch control. on all 3 of the taps and the press and hold.

Hey man you sound like you know what you're doing (no idea what all this info is about) but I find these earbuds at $130 and I find the soundpeats opera 05 to be a strong contender but I'm afraid of the big size for these earbuds and I'm underwhelmed about the battery life for Sony. Sound more importantly than anything, what would you recommend? (I like listening closer to the bass side 50 cent, Micheal Jackson, Rock etc) I look forward to learning from your channel. Keep it up!

Hey El Jefe. I've tried every pair of true wireless earbuds on the mid to high end market, and my needs have changed. I have a hundred dollar budget and I need a pair that is best for anc, phone calling, and battery life. Sound quality is so important to me, but I'm willing to compromise for the sake of comfort and anc/battery life since I drive for a living. Are these still worth it right now if I can get them for 100 bucks, or is there another pair you'd recommend more around the 100 dollar mark?

I'd go with either Liberty 4 or JBL Live Free 2. Not sure if you can find them for $100 right now.
I owe the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro headphones which I reordered because the right earbud didn't always charge properly and when using LDAC it will cut out which they actually tell you beforehand before you activate it but I still feel they should have made it in the way that the Bluetooth connection shouldn't drop out when LDAC is activated. I reorder them because they are probably the best true wireless earbuds I own and they have wireless charging and multipoint connection to. Over the years I've tried a wide variety of wireless earbuds of different price ranges, from less and expensive to the Galaxy buds pro being the most expensive one I've bought but the volume on the left or right got significantly quieter no matter what I did continuously to fix the issue, I couldn't and the worst thing is that Samsung kept returning back because the parts in device was different because I bought from EGlobal Central which have shut down now for obvious and understandable reasons. I really enjoyed them but at times the call quality wasn't the best for me but overall they were perfect for everything. I own the Jabra Elite 7 Active which I only recently got in a electronic store, but I purchased it from Amazon first but I had to return it because the app was saying that it wasn't fitting properly but felt it perfectly fine in my ears to me and the volume controls weren't working either but they were fixed for me, then I those two problems again do I definitely had to return it and then I repurchased them at a local store as I said, but the app still says they aren't fitted properly even now. The store said they can't take it back because of hygiene purposes which is understandable. I think the problem I always have is that my ears produce so much earwax and no matter how much you clean them that's always going to be the case because of course naturally a lot of us produce a lot more than some people do and that can cause the earbuds to block and build up earwax. It still strange that they put multipoint connection on the XM4 headphones but not on their top tier wireless earbuds which I definitely won't be getting. I forgot to say the Liberty 3 Pro has amazing ANC and transparency mode could be better, same with all earbuds, they way you have option to take test to find the best ANC suitable for you based on your environment would would really help transparency modes on all audio devices the adjustable sliders on the likes of the Jabra Elite 7 Active isn't enough on either transparency mode and ANC, even through they give you the option to configure it properly to make sure you get the best ANC and it's questionable sometimes in my opinion and it can definitely be improved and the same goes for all wireless earbuds and true wireless earbuds. I think most if not all should have multipoint connection and qi wireless charging because of high convenience to implement into your daily life and activities. Well that's man, thank you very much for the great review. I actually contacted Sony customer service to enquire about why the WF-1000XM4 and Sony Link Buds S doesn't support either wireless charging and multipoint connection, the response was that they just don't support it. My query was taken into consideration as customer service companies do, so hopefully maybe in a firmware update sometime soon they will add it, who knows. The Jabra Elite 7 Active can connect up to 8 devices but not actively, if you get what I mean.
