The Sony LinkBuds Open are true wireless earbuds built around an 11 mm ring driver with an open center, so outside sound still reaches your ear while music plays, and they run up to 8 hours per charge (up to 22 hours with the case). It suits people who keep earbuds in all day at work, at home or on walks and want to stay aware of their surroundings.
Who the Sony LinkBuds Open is for
All-day awareness: The open ring design lets voices and traffic through, so you can leave the earbuds in between songs, calls and conversations.
Hands-free control: Wide Area Tap lets you tap the earbud or the area near your ear, and wear detection pauses music when you take an earbud out.
Calls and two devices: Multipoint holds two Bluetooth connections at once, and Sony's precise voice pickup technology is designed to keep your voice clear in noisy places.
Light workouts: The earbuds are rated IPX4 against sweat and splashes, and each one weighs 5.1 g with its fitting supporter.
Skip it if: you want noise canceling or LDAC: the open design lets ambient sound in on purpose, and the codecs are SBC, AAC and LC3.
