Review: I had airpods pro, sony xm1000 4 , various recounded mid price earbuds recommended by what hifi and bose quiet comfort mark 1 and these are by far the best. Airpods the sound is OK with goodish ANC. XM1000 is like brick in your ear and personally I found the anc poor. The bose were also big but with great sound but were literally painful with the clip around ear. Let me add that I'm not a fan of in ear earbuds as I find them painful but I accept the need for ear sealing for noise isolation as part of and. So what makes these sony linkbuds s so great? Firstly, you are going to say wow that's great sound as soon as you put them on. There's a richness to it with solid base that blows the airpods pro mark 1 out if the equation. Its really very vert brilliant up there and maybe better than bose. I always test ANC to White noise plane background on YouTube and these to an excellent job and a large part is fit (see below) . It's not going to move the world but it is very good and much better than some mid range sonys I've had. Besides when the music sound is this good this is all you'll hear. There is the weight and size and design. These are a third of the weight of the xm s and all the better for it. The design is a perfect fir your ear and fits like a glove. Sony use recycled plastic and OK it doesn't look as Premium as the xm s but with sound comfort and price like this who cares. Then there's price. These came out at £180 and now they are regularly £120. That's less than half the price of airpods pro 2 and the new bose and overall their brilliant. I wanted excellent sound great anc and good comfort and I got all of that with superior comfort. Buy them . You won't be disappointed. Note to Sony-- get your mobile phone design sorted and stop that 21: 9 sorted and bring back a xperia 3 so I can use sony with sony ???? (sorry for typos-- did this on my phone)
