Unlike the traditional true wireless headphones that fill the ear canal, on February 16, Sony released a strangely shaped true wireless headphones LinkBuds. According to official information, the novelty of LinkBuds styling stems from Sony's new design concept, that is, after wearing, the hole in the middle of LinkBuds will not allow the ear canal to be completely closed, so even heavy users of headphones can maintain communication with the outside world anytime and anywhere.
Compared with the true wireless active noise cancellation headphones, Sony's LinkBuds headphones seem to be in the opposite direction, and some netizens joke that this seems to be an "active transparency mode". It is not known whether this "active transparency mode" will cause excessive interference with the sound, after all, most headphone users still prefer to have an independent "closed" listening space. But we can also understand that this is an open headphone that can be ear-to-ear.
In order to achieve better ambient radio, Sony has developed a dedicated ring driver for LinkBuds, which can provide a more extensive listening experience with a wider soundstage when paired with high-performance neodymium magnets. In addition, the addition of the V1 processor also allows this headset to reduce distortion.
In terms of form factor, linkBuds is smaller than the Sony WF-1000XM4, and a single body weighing only 4.1g does not cause pressure on the ear canal. In other words, after reducing the volume by about 51%, LinkBuds will be more comfortable to wear. In addition, LinkBuds has also added a wide-area click function, which means that as long as you click on the corresponding area, you can complete the functions such as playing and pausing.
Sony LinkBuds, which has two colors, white and gray, has now opened pre-sale, with a pre-price of 1199 yuan.
