Over the last couple of weeks, we have reported on Sony working on a new pair of truly wireless earbuds. These new models are a part of the LinkBuds series and are called the LinkBuds S. Now, we have some more details regarding these earphones prior to its launch.
LinkBuds S
According to a WinFuturereport, the Japanese tech giant is planning on launching the LinkBuds S soon. Unlike the non-S variant that featured the open loop design, the upcoming version features a more conventional closed design. However, these aren’t just like any other TWS earphones in the market since apparently each of the individual earbuds weigh just 4.8 grams. In other words, the LinkBuds S could very well be the “lightest and smallest” earbuds in the market.
Keep in mind that it still offers latest technologies like noise cancellation and High resolution audio despite being so light. This also implies that Sony has another aspect of the LinkBuds S to advertise when marketing the new product. In comparison, the popular Apple AirPods Pro weighs around 5.4 grams per bud, while the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 weigh around 5 grams as well. On the other hand, Sony’s WF-1000XM4 weighs a notable 7.3 grams.
While a lighter weight should also translate to a smaller battery pack, it seems that the LinkBuds S will still manage to deliver decent audio playback. It will reportedly run for 6 hours (likely with ANC turned off) and go up to 20 hours when paired with its charging case. So stock around for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this product.
Apple is gearing up to launch its iPhone 14 series later this year. While its latest iPhone lineup will be the highlight of the event on September 13, there will apparently be a number of new products launching alongside the new smartphones.
According to iDropNewsreport, the Cupertino based giant is planning on releasing multiple new products apart from the four new iPhone 14 models. For those unaware, the brand will be announcing the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max in September. The first two models will apparently feature the last year’s A15 Bionic chip while the Pro series will come with the next gen A16 Bionic chipset. Notably, it will be dropping the mini variant following lackluster market performance.
However, these smartphones won’t be the only new product to launch later this year. The company apparently aims on releasing at least three new Apple Watches, including the Watch 8, a budget Watch SE model, and even a new Watch Extreme Edition as well which is more geared towards outdoor sports and activities. Apart from these wearables, Apple is also expected to finally unveil its highly anticipated AirPods Pro 2 truly wireless earbuds.

The new hearable is expected to feature a new design that drops the stem, while also featuring next generation ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) and support for lossless audio as well. Its charging case might also house a USB Type C port on its charging case. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt for now.
