With the Quick Access feature by Sony, you’re just 2-3 taps away from your favorite songs or soundscapes on Spotify, Amazon Music, and Endel, all without using your phone. When you are ready to tune out the noise, LinkBuds S offer premium noise canceling to help you focus on your favorite playlist or podcast.

Made with the Environment in Mind
Your LinkBuds S are designed for both style and environmental consciousness. The earbuds use recycled plastic materials from automobile parts and the packaging uses no plastic. The Earth Blue model takes it a step further by integrating reclaimed water bottles to give them their distinctive marbled pattern.
Adaptive Sound Control
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 behavior and recognizes locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace or a favorite café, and adapts to the situation.
A New Sound Experience for Augmented Reality Gaming
If you’re looking for new entertainment options beyond music and movies, the LinkBuds S uses new sensors and spatial sound technology to deliver immersive sound for Augmented Reality games like ‘Ingress’ from Niantic.
