Honestly, the LinkBuds Fit are a great buy if you want a comfortable and secure fit. If you have smaller ears, the JLab Jbuds Mini are great and inexpensive. The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are also very comfortable and more feature-packed, especially if you're rocking a Pixel phone. Hope this helps. Happy listening! -Harley
Unfortunately gesture controls are not ideal. Continuous tapping for volume up and down is frustrating. I just cannot get them right and using 1 bud only you lose either of them. Also, by using 1 bud only you lose the control assigned to the right of left bud - like ANC toggle. This is so annoying, it is kinda of a show stopper for me.
You have to switch the buds to LE Audio mode. You have to disable sound priority and then connection priority. Then you may have to completely repair the buds to your phone. Then LE Audio is available. (you lose LDAC, multipoint and spatial audio with that) You can then search casts in the nearby or just start casting if your phone support it. The sound is incredibly sharp in my opinion but you lose the above feature, to be honest.
It may seem like a simple matter, but ear tips are a deal breaker, for me, if you own an IEM set and dozens of high-quality tips in different sizes, shapes, and materials, and for the occasion, you cannot benefit from them either. More importantly, they will last if you take them apart every week to clean them, or even less than A week of cleaning will not last for a month. This is why the best items that Nozel has are the best
They were released 2 years ago. Sony probably was just finally able to master these controls recently. My linkbuds s don’t have those controls either. I’m willing to put money down that the xm6s will have these controls
The main issue with these earbuds is that they don't fit me well. I prefer small earbuds that are comfortable enough to sleep with. I tried using my friend's linkbuds fit for a week, but they felt uncomfortable, possibly because my ear canals are too small.
Thank you for your honest review. I want earbuds that are compatible with Android phone, comfortable to sleep with, secure enough to use them for low impact exercise, more than good anc, and they must last at least 6 hours with the anc on, cause I need to use them for work too
Yea I feel you on that, I already own a pair of xm4 buds that are really nice but not as comfortable as these Linkbuds are in the review. I just want to TRY them!

But how do they compare to the Google pixel buds??
Appreciate your teams reviews
Thanks for the review! How do they compare to other compact buds as the pixel pro 2 for people with small ears?
I need comfort and will stay in my ear without falling out. Which one should I buy?

Did you say they have auracast? I have mine and looked in app but don't see that feature.

Wow. I'll have to try that. Thanks

Too bad anc sucks, Sony always misses on some category
My Xm5s suspiciously don't have that near-ear tapping feature.

ANC and the controls are garbage. I wanted to love em
Awful control system and poor anc. Nothing to see here.

They are great but anc is awful
$200 😮 not for me

Heh
As soon as you compared the ANC to a semi-in design bud I stopped watching smh
