Sony's LinkBuds Clip earbuds don't do enough to stand out

"The Sony LinkBuds Clip are the company's first clip earbuds. They follow the innovative donut-hole LinkBuds and LinkBuds Open and, like their predecessors, allow you to listen to music or podcasts, make phone calls, or be active outdoors while still maintaining awareness of your surroundings. The clip design has become more popular over the past couple of years, and while the LinkBuds Clip have a solid design and good sound, there's nothing significant that sets them apart from competitors, especially at their $229.99 price."

"Like other open earbuds, the LinkBuds Clip wrap around your ear helix like an ear cuff. The small spherical speaker enclosure is positioned just outside your ear canal and is connected by a flexible band to a larger capsule-shaped housing that rests on the outside. I like the look of the Clip buds, with their slightly glossy enclosures and selection of subdued color tones, including lavender, green, greige (a grayish beige), and black."

"The Clip are intended to sit midway up your ear, but since everyone's ears are different, there could be some adjustment to find the most comfortable spot for you (for me, it's a little lower on my ear). Once you find the sweet spot, putting the earbuds on is quick and easy, although I found the fit a bit loose."

The Sony LinkBuds Clip are clip-style, open-fit earbuds that enable music, podcast, and call listening while preserving environmental awareness. The earbuds wrap around the ear helix with a small spherical speaker positioned outside the ear canal and connected by a flexible band to a capsule-shaped housing. The design includes slightly glossy enclosures, subdued color options, and interchangeable case covers for customization. Fit requires adjustment to find a comfortable sweet spot and may feel somewhat loose for some users; silicone cushions are included to improve stability. The band is less flexible than some competitors, and overall the product offers solid design and sound without standout features at its price.
