Do we have to follow everywhere to be entered?
I'm already in. ✌️
Markass Brownie
Your NBA MVP so far... Sixers fan already?
We all know Marques set up the shot in the beginning to flex his fresh hair cut, looking sharp my man 👌
didn't even watch the video yet 💀
Ok keep it in your pants, bruh.
You got me 😅
@@mkbhd busted
@@mkbhd lmao we all saw
Lookin fresh
The earbuds seem like they'd be really good for people prone to ear infections. By not trapping in moisture and allowing the ear to breath, it should reduce the risks of infection. I'd love to see data on it!
While the linkbuds may be lacking bass (there is still more than I expected), the mids and highs are unlike anything I've experienced from any earbuds, aside from iems, before. There's a crispness to the sound that seems to be extremely difficult for manufacturers to achieve in any ear/headphones without them being legitimately open backed. Not having to touch the earbuds themselves is such a gamechanger since there's no chance of knocking them loose while frustratingly trying to get the touch pad to work, and it seems to be way more consistent than any the controls of any other touch- controlled earbuds I've used.
I'd recommend these to anyone who still wants to be connected to the outside world while walking around/going on a hike.
They're also perfect for people like me who have older cars with stereo systems that are mediocre and/or don't work at all since I can still hear what's going on around me while listening to decent sounding music. The fact that the plastics are recycled from car parts makes them that much more fitting for that purpose
Good comment, I want them now lol
@@chromaticvisuelle I'd suggest waiting a a couple months.. While $180 is less than I'd have expected them to launch at, a $20 or $30 price drop, or sale, is more than likely to happen once they're past the introductory period
Man really spit out a well-written headphone review in a RUclips comment😂
@@pawa303 it's weird cause I HATED reading and writing in high school, but now I do things like this and I give journalists shit for not putting in enough effort into their research 🤣
Do they produce any sound at all below 100Hz ish for you? Mine don't, I listen to a lot of metal etc so no problem there, but when I tried listening to Kendrick Lamar I thought the earbuds were broken. There is literally no bass coming through in a lot of his songs. That plus the fact that they're extremely uncomfortable for my ears means that i have to return them... I really hope they implement the skin touch control on future earbuds though.
The most surprising thing about this is Sony using actual words to name their product
Don't worry, they also have the name "WF-L900"... Naming them "LinkBuds" is definitely an improvement.
RIGHT?!
😂 LOL 😂😂😂
True 🤣🤣🤣
This. 🙌
Man, Sony is always ahead of the game with crazy stuff like this. And they are using actual words in their naming!
*cough wh-1000xm4 *cough
wf-1000 xm4...🤨🤨
They slam their face on a keyboard to name their non PlayStation products
@@KarltheBarl 💀bro you actually got me dead

This video definitely had some interesting tech. Thanks for always bringing the great content and wow, on the tech you’re giving away. Also, thank you for using your platform and stage positively
Really enjoy your videos! Explaining in a way that even a non-tech person will get hocked up and understand what you are explaining 😊
Hey Marques, I was just using my Sony link buds when your video popped up. Honestly, its one of the weirdest and coolest tech I ever had. Thanks for the review!
Looks like I need to get me ones ☺️
Waiting for it to launch in my country Sadge
Can other people hear your audio? Like phone conversation or music?
@@alanzlinsky not really.. my kid had to really go up close to my shoulder to hear it.
He mentioned the hole for your hearing your surroundings but forgot to mention their actual main purpose. One of the problems with ear buds is that they build up pressure in your ear and prolonged use can cause ear issues. These ones from Sony you won't have that issue.
The Xbox screen was dope! The giveaway is also nice especially with the charity component. Two of the best in tech teaming up can only = 🔥
The Xbox screen is useless get an IPad, download the Xbox app and start Remote Play.
@@Anonym-dx2tp the latency....
A normal portable screen > xscreen shit > ipad + 10^9 ms latency.
Gamecube had the same screen attachment 20 years ago lol
@@GlitterGuru PS1 had the same Screen attachment, 27 years ago hahaha, But it´s cool is coming back
Would be neat if it wasn't for the fact that any gaming laptop can do the same with an Xbox controller and a wireless dongle seeing as pc gets all the Xbox games.
The Sony Linkbuds are pretty cool and make a lot of sense (say, from a Japanese commuter and handheld gaming perspective), since a lot of people commute, walk several kilometers a day and even still game-on-the-go. They made it so you could still hear and speak in public without having to pop out and possibly lose those tiny earpieces. As a Sony (Playstation) fangirl myself, the "tapping the area in front of your ear" reminds me of Aloy's Focus (a triangular device she uses to scan, see data of and interact with "the old world" - our world/time) in (Sony) Playstation's Horizon Forbidden West. PRETTY COOL!
its a cool concept and would like to seem them improve, but the Audio quality is SOOOOO BAD
Overrated Airpods
They also suck lol. Extremely uncomfortable and non-existent bass below 100Hz ish
If Apple had made he tapping feature you wouldn’t hear the end of it
I like that it let's your inner ears breath
Your videos are absolutely fantastic and I have so much fun with them. Every time I learning something new for technology. Continue with the good work, you are a inspiration.
The control on the Sony's with tapping the skin is incredible
It's the same as the Galaxy Buds feature where you double tap your ear for volume up/down.
I've been using this feature for 2 years...
It's the same function as a wave-to-flush toilet lol. It doesn't actually have anything to do with you touching your skin.
@@misssummersalt you're supposed to tap the earbud edge for that, not your ear.
Also works with airpods 2. Amazing
@@ViggoMor10sen It works better tapping your ear though, even though the app lists it as the earbud’s edge.
I think Sony actually worked a really long time on these kind of earphones.
I remember like 6 years ago my mother participated on a market research, where she got to test these kind of earphones for about two weeks and then give feedback on what her thoughts were about them.
She gave them to me for a day to test them myself and of course they were still completely wired and really didn't sound good at all, in fact very canny and trebbly sound with a total of zero bass. But that might really just been something like an prototype.
I don't actually know if Sony ever released them or were just working on them until they have a finalized product they think is good enough for the open market.
Where does your mom work?
they actually don‘t have bass and still don‘t sound good...
@@NutzerLive they sound good. Stop lie
@@tauqeerahmad3988 They sound worse than Airpods 3. If you think that's still good enough then yes.
@@safwanhamza Oh she didn't work there, she just participated on a market research.
Pretty much all the big companies do market researches every now and then to get an opinion from normal people on new products, movies, marketing campaigns and video games. A company for this example Sony approaches a market research company who does that for them and then shares the opinions and thoughts of the people with Sony. My mom just participated on this market research as a volunteer. But they always pay you a bit for the time you took.
If there's a market research company in your city, try to sign up, its very interesting and makes a lot of fun! Whenever they search for people they send emails and you can sign up for them. Of course they always take different people with different pre-knowledge on the topic and different level of education, living situation and age to get widespread opinions from different target groups
As a backer of Xscreen and person who's interested in the Sony Airbuds, this was an awesome vid to see!
Gstory did it first xscreen is a rip off
@@boogiewitdahoodie1914cope
🤞🏻 appreciate everything you do for the tech community!
I genuinely think as someone with dyspraxia tapping the side of my head for controls will be a lot easier than hitting the earbuds as I find it very hard to actually tap a tiny earbud, with my coordination.
I usually rest my thumb and middle finger on my cheek, so it makes it easier to hit the earbud
@@Hyped_Panda oh really I'll try that out next time, thanks for the advice
Samsung galaxy buds 2 have this feature and it works insanely accurately.
What’s dyspraxia?
Just looked that up, and man or man, have I got a way to avoid the draft now
I love these! Thanks for sharing!
Love the work you guys are doing ❤️
It’s a good era in tech when Sony starts dropping weirdos like those buds. The Sony Mylo and the Vaio P were bizarre devices, but their designs were a ton of fun.
I’m in love with these Sony ear buds. Sony is killing it with its innovation. How often do we see big companies think out of the box. Kudos to Sony again
How often? All the freaking time. It’s what makes them grow 🧐
These earbuds are just the negative of open back in ears without the sound quality benefits. PLEASE just get an open back if you want this, the sound quality will be much better.
What does kudos mean?
@@oscarramos5681it's basically just a compliment
12:58 I believe that's why technology exists. Making positive impacts. Great job you both.
Been a long time subscriber. Earlier mkbhd used to make a lot of videos on random stuff. Now it feels like videos only on main stream stuff like what's trending. Hope more random tech videos like this are made.
Bro this brings back some nostalgia, I remember back when I had my PlayStation 1 with the screen flip up like this one. Granted, it's not the best screen by any means, but it was enough to just be able to see what's happening on the fly.
fun fact: the original playstation was called the PS1, but the one with the flip up screen was actually called the PS One, and they’re two distinct units
Those Sony buds are amazing. I like when companies think outside the box.
Sony also created neck band speakers (like actual speakers on ur neck)..
That's wat we call as innovation..!!
@@NaveedAhmed12341 yes! It is so good, watching movies is better now if you don't have a budget a on theater room
Yes, just like the Sony Xperia Touch!
Just got a pair of link buds, one really cool feature is that if you have a touque on in the winter, tapping basically anywhere on the side of your hat will work. Very useful when it's cold af and you don't want to have to take off gloves or hat.
Inspiring content🔥 Thanks Marques!
On the note of AirPods Pro amplifying the environment around you, they’ll also turn themselves down if noise around you gets too loud. I use mine around machinery with only one in and transparency on and if a machine makes a really loud noise it messes with me a bit because I won’t hear it in the ear with the airpod even though transparency is on.
Although this can initially sound like a good idea, then I strongly urge you to wear real ear protectives as your ears still can get damaged around loud noises with noise canceling.
@@tari0048 I do! We have them readily available where I’m at and I understand that AirPods definitely aren’t proper hearing protection
I notcied they do this when alarms go off near me.
@@tari0048 Yeah, I agree wear proper protection, but active noise cancellation was actually initially designed to protect airline pilots from hearing loss.
Video was already awesome and the Giveaway announcement at the end was cherry on top! 🔥
None cares
@@8DVIBEZ about your life
Cool video as per marques. One of the first RUclips channels I subscribed to.
Love this video format with the various reviews in one video. Should definitely do more like this.
I love dbrand so much lmao, the last two FAQ's for the giveaway had me rolling 🤣
What have you won?🤔
stop trying so hard to get noticed. I hate these channels so much bro u guys are actually so annoying
I seriously wanna try those Sony airbuds. I really do use earbuds on commute, at moderate volumes yet the lack of awareness on my environment while listening to music makes me miss stops and car horns lol
other people say the audio quality is shitty but ill just keep it just to say that I got the weird earbuds lol
@@mathmanchris666 They're decent if you're not one of those that "needs" a ton of bass.
Just buy open back headphones
3:15 Tesla is working on putting Steam in the cars.
Wow Marques, this is for sure the biggest tech giveaway ever.🤙🏾🔥 You are one of my favorite and most entertaining tech reviewer on RUclips. I really enjoy your videos. Love from Fiji 🇫🇯🇫🇯🇫🇯
Just loved the pods and the cable too 😌 great initiative for the greater cause 👏
Hi Marques. Your reviews of everthing tech are outstanding. Very informative, very educational and most of all very entertaining. I'm so glad I discovered your channel some time ago. My family and all my friends have subscribed to the channel. They can't priase me enough about how happy they are that they subscribed. This review, like all others are in-a-word " outstanding! Thanks for the review....keep them coming.
Awesome video as usual and great intro. I may have not noticed this before, but I appreciate you actually having full screen video - up to the Face ID array and equivalent on the speaker side. Slow clap.. Thank you. Hopefully the others will follow suit.
Thanks for review Man ☺️
I’ve been waiting to see you talk about these earbuds!
6:08 people will start thinking that you are a robot
Its always good to have two of my favourite tech RUclipsrs doing a collab for giveaways,Keep it up Marques and Arun🙏
Now this is the kinda video I love.
Awesome that your two are donating!
6:15
that look on marques' face LMAO
Love my linkbuds! I work at a grocery store and we are only allowed to have one earbud in. Still like them a lot better than regular ones and I can hear everything around me that I need to. Best part is they don't fall out no matter how hard I try which is a must for me.
Nice! I'm seriously considering it.
My work let's me have both in full volume lmao.
@@girlsdrinkfeck Lucky lol we aren't suppose to have them at all but this one guy has gotten fired countless times and the union keeps bringing him back. He always has one in so the union and management agree on one earbud unless it gets out of hand for some reason again.
Love your content MKBHD
As always, a fantastic product review.
The LED cable is an excellent option. I'm going for broke.
I can't believe they are freebies, either.
Man, Sony is always way ahead of the curb with new tech like this.
I mean, open back iems and earbuds are not really new
@@shared29 lol
@Pong Krell its like when you copy the hw from your friend and you try to change it up a little bit but it’s obvious you copied it lmao
Marques I just love your videos!! 🌸
Loved the back camera sarcasm :'D
Got one of those cables when he first tweeted it. It’s dope and an excellent troubleshooting tool with crappy usb-c hubs
Great to see the link buds. Picked them up on launch they're great for wearing at work. Can listen to tunes while still being aware of my surroundings so i don't get run over by a forklift
Great channel with reputable review!
Beautiful video quality as always ❤️
I genuinely think as someone with dyspraxia tapping my head is a lot easier than tapping the earbud themselves
WOW! the earbuds with the audio controllers being "integrated" with the owners skull are very dope!!
It sure gives cyberpunk vibes being able to controll the device by tapping on your skull, as if it was an audio implant (but it is just an earbud that is able to sense the taps). Very cool!
The gaming tablet is also very cool, very pricey, but cool!
Can't wait for the giveaway you guys are the best👍
Wow some of the dopest tech I've ever seen !
The double tap the skin/ear to adjust volume is actually available on Samsung Buds too. It is under "labs" options. But you can only change volume (up or down, depending on the side), there is no option to map to other things.
Just when I think tech is getting stale we get all this cool stuff. Link buds are a super cool concept, the asus tablet looks nuts. Heck even the cables are getting cool
Wow. I'm blown away. Great gadget reviews. Wow that give away at the end though. I've not seen anything on that scale. Wow
WOW thank you for the giveaway!
It’s great to see very creative products coming out from tech companies. There’s no end to innovations!
You can purchase the cable on Etsy
Definitely one of weirdest and cool tech at the same time I would really want to get my hands on those earbuds 😅
These earbuds are just the negative of open back in ears without the sound quality benefits. PLEASE just get an open back if you want this, the sound quality will be much better.
Already a fan of your work from long time so if I got something besides the knowledge from your channel, I am happy 😁
Love this video!! It'd be awesome if you made a full review of the steam deck and sony linkBuds
I loved these Sony buds. Thanks for sharing
Just came across this channel and it's impressive. Gonna follow all the way from Africa :)
This is huge, I love dbrand already and I've been following Mrwhosetheboss all these years already, he makes great content, If you're not subscribed to him do it!

Nice to see Sony innovating once again
No innovation there
It’s crazy how far tech has come!! Probably a good thing I didn’t have all this as a kid or I would have never gone outside!!
Hello from Slovakia, you’ve got lots of fans here too ;)
so the tapping-the-skull feature was just an OTA update for humans?
Your videos are edited so well and so classy! I love your channel!
Welcome to the channel 😀
Dude you’re everywhere
Mapquest been killing it lately! Keep it up brother
This is some really cool tech
Just love the production quality. You are the best in the game Budd.
Also- dope earbuds!
Get it. Ear "budds"
@@infinitebeats6444 absolutely:)
I loved the double tap to the back of the ears to adjust volume feature on the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus.
@Ed Routley how are the pros compared to the plus ones?
Nice tech! Really like you!
MKB Amazing Video and you are right great cause.Thanks so much for sharing Deb✌️
Imagine getting slapped with the Sony earphones in your ears then have your song changed.
Bro💀
Congrats you been selected amongst our shortlisted winner’s 😄hit the number above 👆👆
Nice video. We need more dope tech videos
Great product review... like always.
The LED cable is a fantastic solution. I’m gunning for it.
Also can’t believe these are giveaways 🤞🏽
The collab with MrWhoseTheBoss is one of the most epic YT collabs ever. Period. You two are epic.
I don't really like the feeling of noise cancellation or sticking things in my ear canal so iv been thinking about getting the standard Airpods, but then the link buds came out and now I'm wondering which one to get haha
linkbuds don‘t have bass, so probably airpods are better
If you want to listen to music, don't buy the link buds..
@@Ricky_RSC it would be for listening to music and watching stuff like RUclips videos on the train
@@ImJustPeter you can get better sound for $35, Soundpeats Air 3: Semi in-ear, ear detection, app, custom EQ, full touch controls, gaming mode, aptx adaptive, and pretty good mics (the linkbuds have better mics though, but the Soundpeats are not bad at all), they are really tiny and the case is even smaller than sony's.
I own them, and could give you my EQ settings, it makes them sound cleaner
@@Ricky_RSC Looking them up in Amazon, they are really cheap. I'll look up some reviews on them.
Rose Ellen here in Dubai keep sharing tech videos with sense dude! Mabuhay!
I use these for running and biking they are great and can still hear the cars
Does the Boston Dynamics Tee mean we'll see a video about robots soon 👀?
Interesting question
Love this idea, I always have ambient mode on at the office (generally quiet office) so that I can attend to ppl without feeling like they're interupting me or having them to use hand gestures.
Omg i love mr whos the bose, such a good channel, his voice is insane lol
Camera for qr code scanning, very useful and often forgotten 👍
Getting the linkbuds loud enough to drown out environment when outside or when in the bus is really bad for your hearing
Oh shit...these are my dream buds that I was waiting for.
My ears are super oily and I have stopped using any kind of earphones or ear buds as it irritates me a lot. A little longer gaming with the in-ear buds had forced me a visit to a doctor.
This is just perfect for my sensitive ears ❤️
Have you tried bone conduction headphones? I recently got some Shokz…and LOVE them!
@@noratown this is the first time I have heard about it. Will definitely check how it works. Thanks
You made the technophilic part of me gasm! Oof!
...now I happily have a headache...
Thankies! 😊
you and Mrwhosetheboss are amazing, other youtubes must take example from you two and make the world better!
just got the linkbuds, they're cool, make my ears a bit sore after a while but I think ill get used to it, I use them mostly to play TikToks while gaming (because i can wear them under headphones) and while doing stuff around the house
So I've been watching these while wearing my Galaxy Buds 2. I thought that the gesture control of the Sony buds which is tapping near the outer ear was too weird so I tried to do it just to know how does that feel. To my surprise the volume of my Buds 2 was raised after tapping near my right ear just as shown by Marques in the video. It was probably just the sensor being too sensitive since the pause/play feature wasn't working but still a great discovery. 😂 Have Buds too? Go try it to see if it will work also. 😅
Actually it's an intentional feature though I thought you had to turn it on in the the labs section of the wearable app.
Love ur videos and generally the whole aesthetic/brand. 😎
Regarding the tap near the ear on the Link Budst, the Freebuds 3 and 4 from Huawei had this feature for years. It's great in my experience, better than touch controls.
The Sony linkbuds are fantastic. I hate earbuds that make my ear feel plugged like 99% of them out there. these things are like the Galaxy buds live but with better sound and a better fit.. hands down my favorite earbud ever used and I've tried them all.
you know that earpods + airpods have been a thing for years and do exactly the same but have actual bass? It‘s nothing new shown here...
@@NutzerLive those don't fit my ears whatsoever I've tried them.
Do they stay in your ear well?
@@lejame they do just need take the time to try the difference eat find to get the right fit. I actually took a picture of my ear to see the fit and they also have an in-app fitting tutorial
My use case for these is office work taking phone calls watching media in the house with the kids so I can hear what's going on if I was going to the gym I'm putting in my Jabra elites hands down if it's your only earbud I probably recommend doing a job or the airpod pro etc
