It should come as no surprise that the LinkBuds lack noise canceling-there's a hole in them after all. However, the nature of the mechanism means that single taps aren't supported (it would be too hard to filter accidental taps), which limits how much you can do with the buds. When you think about it, the touchpads on most earbuds are quite hard to use, and the LinkBuds are about as reliable. I was initially concerned about this "Wide Area Tap," but the LinkBuds respond to taps correctly almost every time, even with my bushy beard. Instead, there's a motion sensor that detects taps immediately in front of the bud, extending forward into the sideburn area. I've tried a few different wings (the LinkBuds come with five sizes, which is appreciated), but I wouldn't say the LinkBuds are any more comfortable than your average buds.īecause the LinkBuds are so compact, there are no touch surfaces or buttons on them. My ears are not noticeably asymmetrical (you'll have to take my word on that), but the right bud feels fine while the left presses uncomfortably on the cartilage. However, the LinkBuds aren't as cozy as I'd hoped. I was excited by that prospect because I love earbuds that I can pop in without obstructing my ear canal. Sony says it analyzed a lot of ears to make the LinkBuds as comfortable as possible.
