Sound Quality
Authentic, High-Quality Sound
The unique 11mm ring-shaped driver had to overcome significant design challenges to deliver high-quality sound. A high compliance diaphragm and powerful neodymium magnet were specially selected to reproduce clear mid-high frequency sounds.
Superior Sound Balance
The Integrated Processor V2 offers an authentic listening experience by reproducing the detail in your music with minimal distortion, which is also used with the WF-1000XM5. The sound tuning is intentionally designed to be well balanced from low to high frequencies, with natural and clear vocals.
DSEE
When an original music source is compressed, it loses the high-frequency elements that add detail and richness to a track. Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) faithfully restores these to produce high-quality sound that's closer to the original recording.
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. Sony's 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 Sonic 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.
Head Tracking
Immersive Sound
With compatible smartphones and services, head tracking creates a realistic and compelling listening experience by automatically adjusting sound fields to compensate for your head movement. Sounds are precisely aligned with your smartphone screen, even as you move, to completely involve you in your viewing.
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.
Certified Earbuds for a Personalized Experience
With 360 Reality Audio certified earbuds and the Sony Sound Connect app, you can optimize your experience by analyzing your individual ear shape to enjoy the ultimate immersive music experience. Enjoy a thrilling Dolby Atmos experience and 360 Spatial Sound that adapts to your ears when paired with a BRAVIA TV and these earbuds.
Easy Operation
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.
Total Convenience and Customization
LinkBuds Open are even better with the Sony Sound Connect app. The simple interface lets you dial in your ideal sound and shortcut settings.

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%.
Multipoint Connections
