"Sony's original LinkBuds were among the first viable open earbuds I tried. Their unique, donut-shaped driver allows them to sit in your ear while letting in exterior sound to keep you aware in any situation. Serving as a sort of proof of concept, their success helped drive the new open-ear movement, with models at varying price points springing up from virtually every brand."
"Sony's latest LinkBuds, the Clip, are fine. They're not the best sounding or lightest buds in their class, and their clip-on design cribs loads of earbuds before them, most notably from Anker's Soundcore line. Sony adds some fun colorways to mix things up, alongside some handy features, but their $230 price tag puts the Clip in double-take territory for buds you can't use in loud environments."
Sony's LinkBuds Clip offer an open-ear design with a clip-on form factor, clear and relatively full sound, and a comfortable fit suited for all-day listening while remaining aware of surroundings. The buds provide long battery life, quick three-minute charging for up to an hour of playback, and convenient on-device controls. The compact cube charging case is pocketable but lacks wireless charging and has an awkward configuration. Call quality is mediocre. The Clip's design borrows heavily from existing clip-on earbuds and comes at a high $230 price, making them less attractive compared with cheaper similar options.
