So the beats studio buds plus have some very important upgrades over the originals like a much longer lasting battery life, a better preforming microphone for phone calls, a better sounding ambient mode and slightly better ANC… but today we’re going to see how the beats studio buds plus compare to both the Sony WF-1000XM5 and the Sony Linkbuds S, cause all of these are good options if you’re an android user.
So overall, Sony’s speakers, headphones and earbuds have all been improving very nicely over the last few months. And the sony WF-1000XM5’s have some significant upgrades over their predecessors. But today we’re going to see how the Sony WF-1000XM5’s compare to Sony’s linkbuds s which are a pair of really good mid teir ANC earbuds that I feel a lot of people sleep on.
So the Sony Linkbuds S are currently my favorite earbuds from Sony… and they’re also the number 2 best performing anc earbuds… second to only the Sony WF-1000XM4. But if you’re looking into getting a pair of mid tier anc earbuds… today we’re going to compare the Linkbuds s to the Galaxy Buds 2, Beats Studio Buds, Sennheiser CX plus, and the Jabra Elite 7 pros.
So right now the Sony linkbuds S are currently my favorite earbuds that sony has ever put out. And personally, I am really hoping that we will see a Linkbuds Pro… cause sony is finally on the right track with these. But for right now, if you’re trying to choose between any on Sony’s earbuds as of mid 2022, today we’re going to compare the Linkbuds S to the entry level WF-C500’s, the open back Linkbuds, and the Sony WF-1000XM4’s.
I feel that sony has always struggled with their truly wireless earbuds… But then when the WF-1000XM4’s came out I thought sony was finally on the right track, except, they really messed up with their foam ear tips… then they released a few other earbuds that were okay… but now we have the Linkbuds S and these earbuds are really good… but I do get a little sad cause Sony is clearly holding these earbuds back so that they don’t make their own WF-1000XM4’s look bad.
