Product details
Experience every world. The LinkBuds connect all areas of your life through an open ring design. This allows you to listen to calls, music, and other online content while still being aware of the ambient sounds around you. And all of this without feeling the headphones. The small and lightweight design with an optimal fit ensures hours of wearing comfort, so you are always in the midst of the action and miss nothing.
Remarkably small and light. The incredibly compact LinkBuds weigh only about four grams and are a technological marvel in miniature form. Unlike conventional headphones, the protective cover of the speaker membrane is integrated into the housing, saving space.
Comfortable and secure fit. The LinkBuds combine a shape perfectly adapted to the human ear with an ergonomic design that provides a more stable fit. In designing the LinkBuds, we relied on extensive data on ear shapes collected since the introduction of the first in-ear headphones in 1982. Our video guide offers tips for enhanced comfort and listening pleasure.
Connected to the outside world. A newly developed ring-shaped driver unit, with the center of the membrane left open for greater audio transparency, allows you to clearly perceive sounds around you. So you can hear someone calling your name during a call and talk to friends while your music is playing.
Crystal-clear calls without noise. The precise voice pickup technology with advanced audio signal processing transmits your voice clearly and distinctly to the person on the other end, even in noisy environments. Our noise-canceling algorithm was developed using artificial intelligence and machine learning based on 500 million voice patterns.

Reviews & Ratings
The Linkbuds WF-L900 combine smart functions with a successful sound that even surpasses the Bose headphones for our taste. Conceptually, however, the Sony device is closer to an in-ear than an open-ear headphone - this has many advantages in terms of sound, but it is not quite as reliable in traffic.
The imperceptible in-ear is sensitive to its surroundings and ergonomically designed for continuous use. Despite the sophisticated app, there is still room for improvement in the sound quality.
A look at the comparison protects you from making a bad purchase: the foam earplugs of two new models were heavily contaminated with pollutants, another pair of headphones failed the drop test. In addition to the test winners, our headphone comparison offers a lot of other good devices, some of which are inexpensive...
The "hole principle" has its weaknesses in terms of sound; other (equally expensive) in-ears are better. On the other hand, the wearing comfort and "transparency", i.e. the participation in the environment, are good. The in-ears also sit quite firmly, thanks to the flexible earpieces. Recommended especially for group work - but not as noise protection.
... The sound in the bass range is not as powerful as with in-ears that close the auditory canal, but it is clear and differentiated. The acoustics during phone calls are just as convincing as the adaptive volume control and the controls: the playback can be stopped by tapping the jawbone in front of the ear, which works surprisingly well...
- Transparency through hole design
- high wearing comfort
- little hold in the ear
Among the six sports companions, there are suitable training partners for all occasions and budgets. The Teufel Airy Sports beat the Skullcandy Push Active in terms of sound and water protection, despite the annoying cable between the earphones. For more quiet sports in the dry, the Linkbuds from Sony are the best choice...
