I got my XM4 to sound more open with changing EQ. I got it to sound more smooth and open not neutral more close to that. I can't upgrade higher then 1.4.2 with firmware just yet. So my eq settings will probably sound different with 1.5.0. Here they are: ESEE extreme is on on auto Clear bass: -8 400 Hz: -7 1 Khz: -5 2,5 Khz: -1 6,3 Khz: -6 16 Khz: -5 The thing is with smoothing out the frequencies you get more instrument seperation and a more open sound in my opinion (because you're removing peaks in the frequency response and giving more space to all the frequencies). I'm using the Spinfit CP360 tips on my XM4 too which I like - so not the foamies. Loving your in depth reviews thank you for the work you put in.

This is the most comprehensive review between linkbuds S and XM4 that Ive ever seen. I decided to choose Linkbuds S because of lighter weight and better calling quality. Thanks for your sharing.

Been looking for my next earbuds and this video finally sold me on the link buds s. Scavenged through tons of reviews but this one seemed the most honest with regards to sound quality. I’m upgrading from the Samsung galaxy 2s

Useful video thank you sir

I just got the linkbuds s and I previously had the xm4’s both are amazing headsets for sure if you want to listen to the left earbud independently on the linkbuds you’ll have to go to the services tab scroll to the bottom and turn service link off for those who don’t know that but they are surprisingly similar to the xm4’s great review I definitely agree 100%

good advice! Based on many years of experience, blowing your nose is very important, at least every half hour, to hear the best quality! Seriously, try it and you'll agree!

I really liked the open sound of the LinkBud. The LinkBuds S are really good as well, but something totally different. If Sony can make the concept of the LinkBuds more comfortable, those will be my go-to in-ears. Pity that ANC isn't possible, but the open sound just sounds better. I have no problem with the bass. That becomes way too punchy in in-ears anyway. That Sony put the LinkBuds and LinkBuds S in the same series doesn't make sense at all. They couldn't be more different. The LinkBuds S should be in the same series of the XM4 or in it's own series.

I recently purchased the Sony Linkbuds S from the Amazon Prime day sale July 2022, I can honestly say they are a good pair of earbuds if you do not want to pay the price tag for the Sony WF-1000XM4. I found that the Linkbuds S still packed good sound, not as good as the XM4's however still very good, but most importantly, the comfort on the Linkbuds for my ears were much preferred over the XM4's, thats not to say that i'll be putting my XM4's to one side, they will be getting used time to time, I just feel like the Linkbuds S will be more for my daily wear to avoid ear fatigue over long periods of sitting at my desk whilst working.

@@aaronloudnwireless Hey Aaron, i'm curious to know have you personally or know of anyone who has experienced call connection issues with the WF-1000XM4 or the Sonylink buds S with iPhone iOS? I thought it was only my XM4's that I was experiencing this issue. During calls the connection for me would randomly drop, my earbuds would no longer be connected to my phone, then about 3-5seconds later they would reconnect, the person on the other end would be able to hear me during this disconnect but I am not able to hear them as I would get the device disconnect tone on the earbuds, during a call this can happen multiple times. I have been using the Sony linkbuds S for calls over the last couple of days and have experienced exactly the same behaviour. I have tried reseting them and repairing with both sets of earbuds, the XM4's were fine for a little while but soon enough I started experiencing the same again. I know others have experienced the same after reading some posts on Reddit but it doesn't look hopefully Sony will be addressing this issue. Hoping you can shine some more light on this topic.

I love the LinkBuds S! Small and light. Very decent sound (better than my airpods pro), and the noise cancellingis not perfect, but good enough, and it feels so much more comfortable than that of Apple. They’re also small enough than it’s comfortable to side sleep with them. My only nitpicks are: - the battery, especially the case. - And compared to my over the ear XM5 the bluetooth connection is not as strong when I move around the house. Overall super happy with them. I don’t use my airpods pro anymore; I rotate between the Linkbuds and the big XM5 now.

So, which one should I buy

crisp and bright is nice imo.. especially for classical music..

They are more like the xm4 mini. I bought both of them and the noise cancellation is about the same and the sound is very similar.

Nice video Aaron! Now i wondering buy the Linkbuds S. I have also a pair of WF 1000XM4 im super happy with. But its more "work" to make them fit correctly every time i put them in my ears, and i must often press several times when i wearing them to have the right sealing. Use the largest foam tips, the medium is way to small. I've tried silicon tips but its was not good for the XM4. It can be hard to use them for a long period. My WF C500 and WF 1000XM3 are more comfy to use for long periods. But i love the small case on the XM4. How is the comfort on Linkbuds S compared to the C500 ? I can easily use mine for 10 hours without feeling ear fatuige.

@Viewer13128

2 жыл бұрын

hardly anything fits perfectly for me, but the WF1000XM4 with silicone tips gave me perfect fit for the first time in my life. the problem with silicone tips is that you need to tip roll, so if you've been buying brands that just don't fit you, the cons is that even when you explore all size options, you still won't have a good fit. But silicone ear tips provide superior and cleaner sound, and once you have the fit correct, silicone tips let you just pop the IEM in without the hassle of foam tips. but due to sound quality, i will always avoid foam tips. i'd return the IEM if no silicone tips work because the foam sounds audibly worse the moment i use it, even if it seals properly.

Linkbuds s support LC3 codec so it has a way lower latency than those with aptXLL the thing is that only more modern phones use it such as the S23ultra and Iphone 14pro, great video anyway 👌 thanks to you I bought the linkbuds s 👍

When you use Sony Linkbuds S in outside from rec a whatsapp audio or whatsapp call ramdomly change drastically the soud quality of the audio…the sound start great but after 20 seconds turns in something very muffled

I am going from 9,99$ JBL Tune 110 to the linkbuds s. Lets see what 15 times the money gets you.

Linkbuds S are great earbuds- watching this now using them. They’re the most comfortable earbuds I’ve used, plus they support multipoint bluetooth connection. Love the textured plastic feel of the buds & case. I just returned a set of Beats Fit Pros(too big for my ears, no multipoint) & replaced them with these Linkbuds.

The app has so many settings when you go into the EQ you can have these sounding MUCH better than the Beats and Jabra, just some tweaks, I even like them better than the XM4 because of better highs and much richer , you can add more base with the app in “Crystal Boost” I have mine@ +4 .

@Bryan I disagree with the review. I've been A-B listening to both and there's a massive difference in audio performance, especially if you're a >75dB listener. The XM4s are immersive, meaty, and even holographic in comparison to the linkbuds. The linkbuds are much thinner sounding with sloppier imaging, questionable mid/treble separation, muddier treble, and MUCH less impactful/dynamic bass (Sony app +10 boost matches +0 for the XM4 maybe for volume but not quality). Worse is that sub-bass falls off quickly as volume goes beyond 50% on the S21 ultra -- like how the Homepod speaker DSP boosts bass at low volumes but can't keep up if you try to fill even a small room. At higher volumes, the linkbuds forget nearly all sub-bass just to try and survive. Weaker amplification is likely the price paid for such an amazingly small and comfortable design. If blinded, I would guess that the linkbuds are using a single 5mm dynamic driver and the XM4s are using a 7mm dynamic driver with a couple balanced armatures for highs. Bottom line: for podcasts and KZread, linkbuds all day, but for musical immersion, XM4s. For the linkbuds soundstage, the musicians are between your ears, but with the XM4s, your ears are between the musicians. I wish there wasn't this huge difference because I would much, much rather wear the tiny, light, and nicely textured linkbuds with their better microphones and competitive ANC. Both have really limited bud-based controls compared to Jabra 7 Pros (muffled mics) and Sennheiser M3s (uncomfortable for me), especially if you want to use the buds independently.

i think wf xm4 is not worth 300-400$ the comfort is not there.. the sound is not as loud.. but if you want best anc out of tws this the way to go. but 300-400$ no.. go for bose qc earbuds if you dont mind the 90's style bluetooth earbuds lol.

I was very excited about these but i heard the transparency mode isn't even close to the linkbuds. I think most people that bought the original got it because of that and the linkbuds s are more like the usual buds just smaller.

No shit sherlock. Next you will tell use the isolation of open back headphones is not as good as closed back ones or that you are disappointed with lack of noise cancelation when not wearing Linkbud S.

Sound quality cannot compete against 10€ MH-1 or MH-755. Why do I need to tweak it to sound good? Why is the soundstage so narrow? An why did I pay 200€ for this?

How’s the anc between the two if you swap their eartips?

Easily comparable though the Linkbud's sound will change

@@aaronloudnwireless Can you elaborate please? In my country they're priced the same, and my top priorities are comfort and best anc possible, but sadly I can't go and try them in any store, and I can't return them if I bought them. I really need help deciding whether the linkbuds will give the same anc as xm4 with the foam eartips

Transparency is "worse" it also has a much louder "hiss / rush" wich was very annoying IMO (tested on the 07-08.2022) sound is better than the Sony Wf-1000xm4 and LinkBuds S (from what I've heard)

Not sure why everyone's so up in arms. The XM4s were on sale for $110 refurb with two years warranty. The Linkbuds S were on sale for $85 refurb with two years warranty. $25 difference is well worth it for the better product. Chill people.

I just bought my Linkbuds S today. The bass is definitely not as punchy as the XM4, but I can't complain considering the price difference. Aside from that, almost all of the features are still there, the ones that are not there are not needed anyway. But I notice when switching to different ambient modes, or when connecting to my phone, instead of the female voice notifying me, there's just these ringtones. The earbuds are still on version 1.0.1. Considering what happened to my XM4 after updating to the 1.4.2, I will not update my Linkbuds S. I can't find any thread online of people having the same problem, but I don't think Sony is really so cheap that they take a away the voice guide from this model and replace it with just the ringtones instead (I have Voice Guidance turned on by default). Could anyone provide any input on this? Thank you!

You can use clear bass +4 for punchier bass.

@@maximes4428 The EQ is bad. I can bring out the mids but too much and it sounds papery and thin, while clear bass just makes it sound puffy and distorted.

I had xm4 and for me it is very painful to use more than 1 hour -> at the moment I am thinking about switching to Linkbuds...

Great informative video,thank you ! I think the xm4 are a little bit "cheating"with noise cancelling with the foam tips, I liked the link buds , but it was not possible for me to get a secure fitting.and I am not the only one with this problem.to many movement in my face muscles.perhaps Botox could fix it 😉.so the link buds s are for me the best choice for every day use. to enjoy music they are very good,but for my ears not the same level as the soundcore liberty 3 pro.

​@@damianussy4366 I just had to come back to this comment to say that I bought both and it's just like you said. Linkbuds are definitely more comfortable... but xm4 is superior in every other way, especially when it comes to noise canceling. When I'm traveling and I'm on a plane, bus etc the linkbuds removes about 70% of the noise, where as the xm4 removes what feels like 99% 😂.

Can you suggest me the best foam earbud tips for Sony wf1000xm4?
