Innovative Clip-On Design and Comfort
Sony has introduced its latest audio wearable, the LinkBuds Clip. Moving away from traditional in-ear designs, these earbuds utilize a clip-on mechanism that is gaining traction in the industry. This open-ear approach allows users to remain aware of their environment while enjoying high-quality audio. Sony emphasizes a stable and ergonomic fit, including removable Fitting Cushions designed for all-day wear across various ear shapes.
Advanced Features and Sound Control
The LinkBuds Clip offers three specialized listening modes: Standard, Voice Boost, and Sound Leakage Reduction. Users can further customize their experience via a dedicated app featuring a ten-band equalizer. For communication, the device integrates a bone conduction sensor paired with an AI-driven noise reduction system, ensuring clear voice transmission by filtering out external interference.
Battery Performance and Durability
Longevity is a highlight, with the earbuds providing up to nine hours of continuous playback. The charging case extends the total usage time to 37 hours. A quick-charge feature provides an hour of power in just three minutes. Additionally, the buds carry an IPX4 rating for splash resistance and support Multipoint connection for seamless switching between two devices.
Pricing and Availability
The Sony LinkBuds Clip is launched at $229.99 in the United States and CAD 299.99 in Canada. They are available in four colors: black, greige, green, and lavender. For those looking to personalize their gear, Sony also offers separate case covers and cushions for $24.99.
