By leveraging sensor and spatial sound technology, these headphones deliver fun and high-quality sound entertainment while adapting to your surroundings.

The world’s smallest and lightest, noise canceling, Hi-Res Truly wireless headphones. Sony has engineered these remarkably small and light truly wireless headphones, approximately 4.8 grams in weight, with comfort in mind. LinkBuds S combines a shape that perfectly matches the human ear with an ergonomic design for a more stable fit, so you can steer clear of annoying ear pain that gets in the way of you and your entertainment.

LinkBuds S provides you with the best of both worlds. These headphones combine LinkBuds’ innovative ambient sound concept that lets you interact with the world around you, with high-quality noise canceling allows you to focus on the content you love and nothing else. You can step into a coffee shop and quickly order with ease, then just as quickly sit back, and enjoy your favorite entertainment distraction-free.

The headphones integrate Adaptive Sound Control, a smart feature that adjusts ambient sound settings depending on where you are, creating the ideal listening experience. With this, you can seamlessly move through your surroundings all while letting your favorite artists and entertainment play on.

Sony is collaborating with its partner company Niantic in the area of audio AR by developing an AR game that can be enjoyed not only visually but also audibly. When you play their game “Ingress” using LinkBuds S, the sensor and spatial sound technology will enable players to enjoy a new experience in which sound is delivered according to the direction they are facing.

Making a call on a noisy street or a windy day has never been easier with LinkBuds S, thanks to Sony’s Precise Voice Pickup Technology that optimally controls the microphones on both earbuds and with the use of a mesh structure around the microphones. You can enjoy crystal clear conversations, letting you catch up with colleagues and friends no matter where you are.

LinkBuds S creates immersive sound and authentic reproduction, so you can enjoy your music, video, or social media content just as the creator intended. With the help of a new 5mm driver unit these small earbuds pack a punch, producing powerful bass and stunningly clear vocals despite their size, bringing out the best in whatever genre of entertainment you choose.

These new headphones also allow you to experience High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to Sony’s industry-adopted audio coding technology, LDAC. All your music will be restored to high-range sound with the use of DSEE Extreme which upscales digital music files in real-time, allowing you to appreciate all the fine details the artist injected into your most-loved tracks.

Life should be full of interactions so, with the help of Speak-to-Chat, based on precise Voice Pickup technology, your music will automatically pause when you speak to someone, making it easier than ever to have a conversation when your hands are full. These new headphones are also Google Assistant and Alexa compatible, helping you with everyday tasks for hands-free help on the go.

Thanks to the intuitive touch sensor control panel, you can change your sound settings, activate Quick Attention and even resume Spotify music playback or Endel, with just a few taps on the earbuds. With Endel you can create personalized soundscapes that give your body and mind what they need to achieve total sonic immersion while you carry out any task.

LinkBuds S supports Google’s new Fast Pair feature which means you can pair the headphones with your Android device quickly and easily. Swift Pair makes it quick and easy to pair your headphones to your Windows 11 or Windows 10 laptop, desktop PC, or tablet. These earbuds are ready for LE Audio, a next-generation Bluetooth audio that enables ultra-low latency that is ideal for gaming.

LinkBuds S isn’t just designed to be slick and stylish, but also with the environment in mind. Like the rest of the LinkBuds series, all packaging on the headphones is plastic free and the headphones use recycled materials from automobile parts, reflecting Sony’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact of their products.

Sony knows how important it is to enjoy your favorite content on your smartphone without anything getting in the way of your listening experience. Therefore, Sony has packed LinkBuds S with a full working day of charge – 6 hours with noise canceling on – from the headphones and storing another 14 hours in the stylish, compact charging case. If you’re in a rush, just 5-minute’s quick charging gives you up to 60 minutes of playtime.

LinkBuds S, which links online and offline worlds, will continue to provide various services for better and new sound experiences. According to Sony’s strategic partner, Archit Bhargava, Director of Product Marketing, Niantic, Inc., Niantic has a vision of a “Real World Metaverse,” which means adding AR digital layers to the real world.

Currently, AR layers are visual layers; however, we believe that adding a sound layer will create a richer AR experience and makes the real world more enjoyable and convenient. Sony’s LinkBuds series adds the sound layer without compromising the visual and audio information of the real world. When it is used with the various games offered by Niantic, it can create a richer, more enjoyable gaming experience. Ingress, which is celebrating its 10th milestone this year, is going to have a new feature before the summer. We hope you will enjoy the feature with the LinkBuds series.

Stay tuned for the AR experience by the combination of the LinkBuds series and Niantic’s Lightship platform, which is the foundation of the company’s game titles, which shall be available soon.

LinkBuds S is now available in all Sony Authorized Dealers and Select Online stores nationwide with a suggested retail price of P10,999.
