Sony recently launched a new true wireless headset LinkBuds. Different from traditional true wireless earphones, Sony LinkBuds adopts a completely open design. Its overall shape is somewhat similar to a “doughnut”, and users can directly put the “doughnut” into their ears to listen to music.
It is worth noting that this headset has a small “shark fin”-shaped design, which ensures that the headset can be securely fixed in the human ear. In addition, this headset also supports IPX4 waterproof, and supports adaptive volume control, which can optimize the volume according to the surrounding environment.
Thanks to the open-back design, the Sony LinkBuds don’t support noise reduction, nor do they have sponge or silicone ear tips. Some netizens said that this headset does not block ambient sound, so it is very suitable for use in some scenarios where you need to understand the surrounding environment, such as running, cycling or taking public transportation.
At the hardware level, LinkBuds uses a 12mm ring audio driver with a battery life of 5.5 hours, and can achieve up to 17.5 hours of listening time with the charging box, priced at $179.99.
