Sony created their #LinkBuds to help you link your online life, to your offline life without having to remove their new earbuds from your ears. They’re Sony’s first open ear earbuds! But do they deliver on the promise of high quality open earbuds audio? They also say they have improved their microphone algorithms. So, Tshaka puts the audio to the test and gives you a live mic test in traffic to see just how good those mics are. You DONUT want to miss this! #openearbuds #openearearbuds

Do not buy those! Real trash audio quality.
The sound is surprisingly good especially for the piece. I'm at last getting sort of getting used to them
Sony Krispy Kremes 🙂
I'm planning to experiment with blocking those little holes up. I find them very annoying And I think you get a better sound quality too.n
I scored a pair for $130 and I absolutely love them. I switch between them and my razor hammerhead pros depending on the environment I'm in. and a bigger battery in the charging case would have been better.. I hope Sony does a version 2.
I dig 'em. I covered the drivers with foam pads and it improved the low frequencies as well as how they fit; they're much more secure now.
Just so AC knows, I subscribe to this channel ONLY because of this guy.
There not good 180 bucks Hard No
Best for the ** waiting to get hit on the road. Listen before you cross, let the vehicles be less anxious because of you D*F*
Check, you can wear the left or the right Individually, you must’ve had your settings wrong, I’m doing it right now.
Decent review though, don’t rush take your time, play a little …✌🏽🖖🏽
It took me about a week and a half but I finally got them to fit me correctly and I have to say the sound while very lacking in bass is very pleasant. Definitely hearing all the details in my music that sometimes even I miss on my other headphones. Turning off Google assistant really extended my battery time. When you turn off Google assistant you can use either earbud independently as well
It’s been a while since I watched an Android Central review. I love this guy! Great review!
I wasn't interested in these earbuds, so I wasn't gonna click on this video, until I saw that YOU made it! 😁 Another great one 👍
5:46 phew! you should remove hairs from your ears before doing such close shots!
Love the donut puns. 😁
Awesome review!
Glad they have a 5-band EQ included as well! I have the Galaxy Buds Pro, but if and when they die out, I will SERIOUSLY consider these. Hopefully by then Sony will have released a 2nd gen version with improvements included as well.
With regards to the bass, I've felt that Sony tends to be a bit too bassy (IMO) with their over-ear headphones at least. So if these are less "Sony bassy" than usual, that might actually be a good thing as I'm no bass-head (though I do love good solid un-bloated bass)! LOL
I agree. I've been using them for two weeks, including right now, and they are a definite game changer.
You say they both can't be used independently, but other reviewers say they can. Might want to check on that again.
Maaann, i wish the name was actually Sony Donuts. Would've been great for marketing…and for laughs.
Lmao @ yawning while you was on the phone with your wife 😂😂😂
I decided to pass on these because of the Pixel Buds A-Series. (Don't let that eartip fool you, I also consider them open earbuds because of that vent on the bottom piping in all the outside noise.) With the feature set being so similar between the two- both have automatic volume adjustment, great mics, 12mm drivers, and ~4.5hr battery life with all of the features enabled, I'd save the $80 and go with Google's earbuds if you can deal with the eartip- there's very little compromise on spatial awareness and you get better bass response because of it.
Great review!!
Not for me. I want to completely isolate outside noise if I've got earphones in. But I can see these would be great for some people. However I've watched a few of these videos now with Tshaka presenting and I really like the way he delivers so much relevant information. Only complaint, next time get the whole of that Spawn poster in shot. 🙂
These buds look like exactly the thing I never knew I needed. I may just have to retire the the ol Samsung Galaxy Beans that I have been using for a while now.
The way it muted the noise of the garbage truck was very interesting
Great review. Last time we saw something like this was the Galaxy Beans. Seems like Sony figured this out and didn't try to sell it as having ANC so the expectations are set. But no multi device support is a deal breaker for my work earbuds at the current time.
