Sony had just recently announced its latest generation of flagship headphones, the WH-1000XM5. Now, the company has announced a new audio product, this time, its a new truly wireless earbuds called the LinkBuds S.

Just yesterday, we had reported on a leak regarding these new wireless earphones. The report had stated that each earbud will weighs just 4.8 grams, which meant that they would be the smallest and lightest TWS earbuds in the market. And now, the Japanese tech giant has officially launched the hearables, and true to the report, it really is the lightest TWS in the world right now. For those unaware, the company had launched the LinkBuds a couple of months ago, which featured a unique open ring design. However, the new LinkBuds S features a more conventional closed design, but with a light body weight.

In other words, it is not surprising that Sony is marketing this aspect in particular, stating that the earbuds were made to be as comfortable as possible. It also arrives with an ergonomic form factor for a secure and irritation free wearing experience. Thanks to a new collaboration with Niantic, which is known for making Pokémon Go, the company is also working on an AR game called Ingress. This will use these earbuds’ spatial sound technology to “enable players to enjoy a new experience in which sound is delivered according to the direction they are facing.”

The LinkBuds S will offer a full day battery life, with about 6 hours of audio playback with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) turned on, with an additional 14 hours of charging being offered by the charging case as well. A quick 5 minute charge will offer up to an hour of extra playback as well. The new earbuds is already available for pre-orders and is available in either White or Black color options. It has a suggested price of 200 US Dollars, which is more expensive than the non-S LinkBud model.

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 WinFuture report, 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.

The news arrives from a known tipster Jon Prosser who shared the news on Twitter. Reportedly, the new wireless earphones from the Japanese tech giant is set to be unveiled on the 18th of May 2022. Furthermore, he is expecting the brand to announce its flagship Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones a few days prior on May 12. As of right now, there is not a lot of information available regarding the LinkBuds S earbuds.

Although, it is rumored to come with a design that is different from the previously launched LinkBuds TWS. In other words, it won’t feature the unique hole in the center of the earbuds and will come with a closed design with a round vent near the ear canal that will allow sound to pass through. Jon Prosser further leaked the pricing for these upcoming earbuds. As per the tweet, the company is planning on launching the LinkBuds S for around 199 US Dollars.

This also means that it is priced slightly higher than the previously launched LinkBuds TWS earbuds. So, we can expect the newer model to offer improved specifications or better features overall. Unfortunately, this is all the information we have at the moment, so stay tuned for more, as we will be covering the launch of the upcoming Sony audio products.

A new Sony LinkBuds model seems close to its unveiling, according to a recent leak. The Sony LinkBuds S bears some semblance to the LinkBuds but comes with ANC and Ambient modes.

The Sony LinkBuds are designed for extended use but noise cancellation functionality is absent. The new leak indicates a similar but possibly cheaper model that offers added features. As per the leak, the Sony LinkBuds S, unlike its predecessor, will not come with a hole in the middle of each ear tip. Therefore ambient sound is not allowed unimpeded. Instead, the LinkBuds S features an Ambient Mode to achieve ambient sound access. The Ambient Mode will be triggered automatically to switch between ANC mode and Ambient. Essentially, the buds will learn the user’s behavior to know the switching preferences.

The leaked images indicate that the LinkBuds S will come in gold, black and white colors.
