Authentic, high-fidelity sound
Enjoy well-balanced, high-quality audio with clear mid- to high-ranges, powered by our Integrated Processor V2 and the specially designed 11 mm ring-shaped driver unit.
Music, as it should sound
Our unique 11 mm ring shaped driver had to overcome significant design challenges to deliver such high-quality sound. A high-compliance diaphragm and powerful neodymium magnet were specially selected to reproduce clear mid-high frequency sounds.
Superior sound balance
Our Integrated Processor V2 offers an authentic listening experience by reproducing the detail in your music with minimal distortion. The sound tuning is intentionally designed to be well-balanced from low to high frequencies, with natural and clear vocals.
Keeping your authentic sound
When an original music source is compressed, it loses the high-frequency elements that add detail and richness to a track. Our Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE™) faithfully restores these to produce high-quality sound that’s closer to the original recording.
Ultra-clear, noise-free calls
With precise voice pickup technology and advanced audio signal processing, the person on the other end of the call will hear your voice clearly, even when you’re somewhere noisy. Our noise reduction algorithm was developed with AI machine learning using more than 500 million voice samples to suppress ambient noise and extract your voice clearly in a wide range of environments.
A new sound experience for AR gaming
If you’re looking for new entertainment options beyond music and movies, the LinkBuds Open uses new sensors and spatial sound technology to deliver immersive sound for Augmented Reality games like “Ingress” from Niantic.When playing “Ingress” with the LinkBuds Open, sensor and spatial sound technologies deliver a new experience: using head tracking, the sound is conveyed from different directions to line up perfectly with the action on the screen.
Conventional use
With conventional earbuds, when your head moves, the sound moves with the earbuds. This disconnects the sound from its position in space, impairing the 3D effect and presence.
With head-tracking capability
With head tracking, when you move your head, the sound field retains its original position in 3D space, for a realistic viewing and listening experience.
Certified earbuds for a personalized experience
With 360 Reality Audio certified earbuds and the Sony | Sound Connect app, optimize your experience by analyzing your individual ear shape, and enjoy the ultimate immersive music experience.
360 Spatial Sound Personalizer
With the Sony | 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer app, you’ll enjoy a sound experience that’s optimized for you. The app captures and analyzes your ear shape, allowing these headphones to create your own personal spatial sound field when paired with BRAVIA TVs.
Seamless sounds. Pure joy
Switch playback between your LinkBuds earbuds and an optional LinkBuds Speaker seamlessly every time with Auto Switch. Simply place your headphones back in their case when you’re near the Speaker and playback will continue on the Speaker. It automatically switches back when you take your earbuds out again for on-the-go listening.
Quick Access
A shortcut to your music with simple taps, and no need to touch your smartphone. You can simply enjoy your music effortlessly.
Experience Auto Play
Auto Play delivers music and audio notifications exactly when you need them. Playback starts automatically when you put your headphones in-no need to touch your smartphone-and plays the right music for the moment, based on your daily routines or sensing activities like a daily walk, gym workout, or commute. And, with Voice Cue you’ll still be notified of important information like appointments and reminders, so you can always stay connected to both life and entertainment wherever you go.
Near, not just on the ear
With Wide Area Tap, you can use double or triple taps in front of either of your ears to control your music playback, so there’s no need to touch the LinkBuds themselves to operate them.
Instant pause. Instant play.
Just take the earbuds out of your ears and the music stops. A proximity sensor knows when you are wearing one or both earbuds. Pop the earbuds back in and the music starts again.
Control earbuds with head gestures
You can operate your earbuds using natural head gestures, like receiving or declining calls or operating Auto Play by nodding or shaking your head.
Control with your voice
Get hands-free help-just say “Hey Google” or “Alexa” to activate your preferred voice assistant. Listen to music, connect with friends, get notifications, set reminders, and more when connected to your smartphone. Or, you can also use built-in voice control for volume, and playback when connected to any device.
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 earbuds on or your hands are full. And once your chat is over, your music starts playing again automatically.
Total convenience for everyday ease
Packed full of convenient features, perfect for daily use.
Total convenience, total customization
LinkBuds Open are even better with the Sound Connect app. The simple, intuitive interface lets you dial in your ideal sound and shortcut settings, and can keep track of your recent listening history. Safe Listening even lets you check you’re in line with WHO healthy listening habits.
Background Music Effect
When activated, Background Music Effect uses Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to make audio sound as though it’s playing in your space, rather than feeling like it’s localized in your head-perfect for when you’re doing other tasks, or want something a little less intense.
Listen all day, charge in minutes
You can enjoy a full 8 hours of listening from your earbuds and store another 14 hours in the case. That means up to 22 hours of listening time every time you leave the house. In a hurry? Just a 3-minute quick charge gives you up to 60 minutes of play time, and the Sony | Sound Connect app will even notify you when your charging case drops below 30.
