The company Sony has just introduced a new model of wireless headphones, the LinkBuds S that integrate the detection technology developed by the brand and that provides a “Never Off” sound experience. The team takes advantage of spatial sound and sensor technologies to provide rich surround sound, also in games. Among the added values of the product we must mention quick access to music and the ability to enjoy music, video or content from social networks just as its creators intended, thanks to Sony’s noise cancellation technology and its ability to high resolution.
size issue
Sony puts extraordinarily small and light headphones on the market, weighing approximately 4.8 grams. They combine a design that fits perfectly to the auditory pavilion with an ergonomic design for stable fixation and avoiding annoying pressure.
natural ambient sound
They combine the innovative concept of ambient sound, which allows you to interact with the world around you, with precision noise cancellation.
They have adaptive sound control, an intelligent feature that adjusts the sound settings of the environment based on where the user is.
Adapted to games
Sony is collaborating with its partner company Niantic in the area of AR audio, developing a game that can be enjoyed not only visually, but also aurally. When playing “Ingress” using the LinkBuds S, spatial sound and sensor technologies allow gamers to enjoy an experience, in which sound comes from different positions depending on the user’s orientation.
In use: calls
The equipment has the advantage of being able to make clear calls even in unfavorable environments, such as a noisy street or on a windy day, thanks to the precise voice recognition technology, which optimizes the control of the microphones in each of the earphones and the use of a mesh structure around them.
natural sound
LinkBuds S create surround sound and natural playback with the help of a new 5mm driver, That makes these little headphones pack a punch, reproducing powerful bass and clear vocals. The integrated processor V1 facilitates noise cancellation, improving sound and reducing distortion.
They also let you experience high-resolution wireless sound thanks to LDAC, the industry-adopted audio coding technology. The high frequencies of the music will be restored through the use of DSEE Extreme, which enhances the files in real time, allowing you to appreciate the details that the artist imprinted on the audio tracks.
hands-free monitoring
Thanks to the help of the chat option, based on Voice Pickup technology, the music will automatically pause when you talk to someone
They are compatible with the Google Assistant and Alexa.
The touch sensor control panel allows you to change sound settings, activate Quick Attention and even resume playback of Spotify or Endel, with a few taps on the headphones.
connectivity
They work with the new Google Fast Pair feature, which allows you to quickly pair the headphones with an Android device. Swift Pair makes it easy to pair with Windows 11 or Windows 10 laptops, desktop PCs or tablets as well.
futuristic
They are ready to work with LE Audio, the next generation of Bluetooth audio that supports ultra-low latency, ideal for gaming.

As with the rest of the LinkBuds series, the earbuds’ packaging is plastic-free and uses recycled materials from car parts.
