LinkBuds Open: The innovative ring driver of these in-ear headphones provides a unique listening experience. You can fully perceive the world around you while enjoying music or podcasts.
The ergonomic design fits comfortably in the ear, while the air cushion ensures a secure hold for each in-ear headphone. Weighing only 4.8 g per headphone, the LinkBuds Open are ideal for all-day comfort and athletic activities.
Enjoy the balanced, premium sound quality of the specially designed ring-shaped 11 mm driver. Sony's Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) restores lost high-frequency elements during compression and enhances every track through upscaling.
With the user-friendly equalizer in the headphone app, you can adjust the sound to your preferences.
The wireless headphones offer up to 22 hours of uninterrupted playback (8 hours via headphones + 14 hours via the case). The quick charge feature provides an additional hour of playback time with just 3 minutes of charging.
Choose from three colors and five additional colored protective cases (sold separately) to create your individual look.
With Multipoint Connection, you can connect two Bluetooth devices simultaneously and switch seamlessly between them. Additionally, there are several user-friendly control options through tapping, voice commands, and the app on your smartphone.
The LinkBuds Open feature an eco-friendly design. The headphones and case are made from recycled plastic, and the packaging is 100% plastic-free.
