Keep every world on
Small, light and smart with a secure and stable fit to keep you connected and in control of your day.
Small and light for all-day comfort
Approximately 4.8 grams in weight, Linkbuds S is the world's smallest and lightest, noise canceling, Hi-Res truly wireless headphones. We've kept the size down by both developing a compact driver and integrating the Bluetooth® Audio SoC (System on Chip) and high quality noise cancelling processor in one single chip. It's 40% smaller than the WF-1000XM4.
Comfortable and secure
LinkBuds S combines a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit. We've designed LinkBuds S utilising extensive ear shape data collated since introducing the world's first in-ear headphones in 1982, as well as evaluation of the sensitivity of various types of ears to ensure an ideal shape that is comfortable for many people.
Transparent ambient sound or high quality noise cancelling
These earbuds give you the best of both worlds - Sony's best transparent ambient sound in truly wireless headphones4 when you want to interact with your world, high quality noise cancelling when you need to focus. LinkBuds S automatically switches between Ambient Sound Mode and noise cancelling depending on where you are and what you're doing.
Adjusts ambient sound to whatever you do for all-day wearing
Adaptive Sound Control is a smart function that senses where you are and what you're doing, then adjusts ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience. Over time, it learns your behaviour and recognises locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace or a favourite café, and tailors sound to suit the situation.
A new sound experience for AR gaming
If you're looking for new entertainment options beyond music and calls, LinkBuds S use new sensor and spatial sound technology to deliver immersive sound for Augmented Reality games like 'Ingress' from Niantic5.
When playing 'Ingress' using LinkBuds S, sensor and spatial sound technology deliver a new experience, with sound delivered from different directions according to the action in the game with head tracking.
Clear calls and immersive sound
Easily connect with the people you know and the content you love. Make ultra clear calls without noise, and listen to great sounding music without distraction.
Sony's best ever call quality in truly wireless headphones
With Precise Voice Pickup Technology that optimally controls microphones on the outside and inside of the earbud, and advanced audio signal processing, conversations are ultra clear, even in noisy environments. Our noise reduction algorithm was developed with AI machine learning using over 500 million voice samples to suppress ambient noise and extract your voice clearly.
Immersive sound, authentic music
A new 5mm driver unit, featuring a high-compliance diaphragm, helps keep LinkBuds S small. Despite its size, it reproduces powerful bass and crystal clear vocals, bringing out the best in all genres of music. Rich mid range sound enables clear reproduction of voices in music, movies and podcasts. And with enhanced noise cancelling, LinkBuds S provides less distractions too.
Enjoy High-Resolution Audio without wires
LinkBuds S supports High-Resolution Audio Wireless thanks to LDAC, our industry-adopted audio coding technology. LDAC transmits approximately three times more data than conventional Bluetooth® audio allowing you to enjoy High-Resolution Audio content in exceptional quality, as close as possible to that of a dedicated wired connection.
Real-time restoration of all your compressed files
Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme™ upscales compressed digital music files in real time. Dynamically recognising instrumentation, musical genres and individual elements of each song, it restores high range sound lost in compression.
Connect and control effortlessly
Our smart features make it easier than ever to access and enjoy your entertainment throughout the day.

Talk and hear only ambient sound
You can set Speak-to-Chat to automatically pause the music as soon as you speak to someone, so you can hear just ambient sound and conduct a conversation – handy if you want to keep your headphones on or your hands are full. And once your chat is over, your music starts playing again automatically.

Multipoint connection

You'll also be able to quickly switch your headphones to either of the two devices at the touch of a button.
Next generation Bluetooth audio
These earbuds are ready for LE Audio, a next generation Bluetooth audio that enables ultra low latency - ideal for gaming.
A clearer, more stable Bluetooth signal

Made with the environment in mind
Your LinkBuds S are designed for both style and environmental consciousness.
No plastic in individual packaging
No plastic is included in the packaging material for LinkBuds S, reflecting our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our products.
Earth Blue – Made from recycled materials
Parts of the body and case of LinkBuds S in Earth Blue are made from factory-recovered plastic and reclaimed water bottles23, in addition to recycled plastic materials from automobile parts. This gives them their characteristic marble pattern. Inevitable variations in the marble pattern mean that no two pairs of LinkBuds S in Earth Blue are quite the same.
Every pair helps the 'Protect our Oceans' project
Not only are we cutting the amount of virgin plastic used, but also the amount of $2 USD of the sales price of each unit sold will be donated to support Conservation International's ocean conservation activities. This means every purchase will protect nearly 58,824 square metres of ocean, an area equivalent to about 47 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Water resistant for everyday use
With an IPX4 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won't stop these Sony earbuds – so you can keep on moving to the music.
Listen all day, charge in minutes
You can enjoy a full working day of charge – 6 hours – from your headphones and store another 14 hours in the case. That means a full 20 hours of listening every time you leave the house. In a hurry? Just 5 minute quick charging gives you up to 60 minutes of play time, and the Sony | Headphones Connect app will even notify you when your charging case drops below 30%.
Ultra small case, a perfect match
With its stylish rounded design and matching colours, the charging case perfectly complements LinkBuds S. It fits comfortably in your hand or pockets for life on the go.
