    Everyone pushing wireless earphones because they are useless once the battery goes so they can sell more. I have old wired earphones that have worked for 20 years.

        I love my Linkbuds S. They sound very slightly less better than the WF-1000XM4s, which I got rid of quickly because those felt like you were sticking a matchbox car in your ear.

        Linkbuds are very comfortable, and ANC is "good enough."

        I don't use the mic, so I can't comment on that.

        To get the best sound out of these on Android, download Wavelet, which recently added an auto EQ profile for these buds that will flatten them out. And turn off that DSEE!

          Music is my friend. I just adore headphones and earbuds. Currently have 4 true wireless earbuds 1 over ear headphones 1 neckband 1 in ear monitor 3 pair wired small earphones. Each one is good but different. I always use this equalizer configuration: 7DB 5DB 4DB 1DB. I keep the middle one and right ones to 0DB. Sounds enjoyable but not that clear. I just like dark and bassy sound.

                I returned them because of microphone quality. Literally everyone said I sound robotic, quiet and like I'm talking from a distance, both on meetings on laptop and phone calls. I'm so surprised you liked the microphone.

                Also, they were not loud enough, I struggled to hear people, but main reason to returned them was microphone.

                  It is nowhere to be seen that Bluetooth technology is... strange!

                    What i would love to hear in a review like this are the microphone quality in a teams call, with most of the inear headphones they for some reason turn off the microphone ANC when your not using an ordinary call, so in a normal cell call the microphone perform great, filtering background, but when you use it in a teams call/meeting or similar, like many of us do now adays after the corona, the background isn't filtered at all, i even get told sometimes that its amplifying voices in the background instead.

                        If someone charges one more for something less, means its mostly useless, especially when it does things its not expected to do, like running voice assistance insted of ANC doing. Means it have a bad battery as it have Alexa/Google tag or it's really just another airtag. Bad battery earphone from lens maker company anyone! No takers, or is there.

                            'The quality is good enough to be confused with entry-level wired headset microphones, which isn't an honor I give lightly'.

                              Sony never disappoints when it comes to earbuds and headphones ngl
