Sony Linkbuds Truly Wireless Headphones With Alexa

The Sony LinkBuds are a radical departure from conventional true wireless earbud design, engineered for constant situational awareness. Their most distinctive feature is a unique open-ring driver unit that sits directly in the center of your ear canal without sealing it, allowing you to hear both your audio and the outside world simultaneously and naturally. They are designed not for immersive isolation, but for seamless integration of digital audio into your daily life.

✨ Key Features & Innovative Design

• Open-Ring Driver (12mm): The revolutionary core. A ring-shaped driver sits just outside the ear canal, with a hole in the center. This allows ambient sound to pass through physically, eliminating the "plugged" feeling and creating a completely open, transparent listening experience.

• All-Day Awareness & Safety: Designed for users who need to stay connected to their environment—whether for commuting, childcare, office interaction, or outdoor activity. You never need to remove them or activate a transparency mode.

• Wide Area Tap: Introduces a novel control scheme. Instead of tapping the earbud, you tap the skin just in front of your ear (the temporal area). This gesture control feels intuitive and futuristic.

• Adaptive Volume Control: Uses built-in sensors to automatically adjust your music/podcast volume based on your environment (e.g., lowering volume in a quiet room, raising it on a noisy street).

• Speak-to-Chat: Borrowed from Sony's WH-1000XM series, this feature automatically pauses audio when you start speaking, then resumes when you stop.

• Precise Voice Pickup: Bone conduction sensors and a beamforming microphone array ensure clear voice capture for calls and voice assistants, even in windy or noisy conditions.

• Ultra-Lightweight & Ergonomic Fit: Weighing only about 4.1 grams per bud, they are among the lightest earbuds available. They come with five sizes of arc supporters (not ear tips) that hook into the concha of your ear for a secure, pressure-free fit.
