You have so many choices there days when it comes to earbuds. Lots of solid choices out there, each with intuitive ways to stay in place, and supporting useful features like noise cancellation or even live translation. One good option that has kind of flown under the radar are the Sony LinkBuds Clip earbuds. These open-ear earbuds even happen to be on sale at the moment. Usually, they sell for $230, but the limited-time 14% discount ends up taking them down to just $198. You’ll save yourself $32.
These Sony earbuds are designed to be as unobtrusive as possible when you’re wearing them. .They are feather-light, and ergonomically just grab onto your ear, sitting comfortably in place. They don’t fully block your ear canal like some other earbuds do, so you can stay aware of your surroundings without needing to take them back out.
Three Listening Modes
If you do want better control of how much sound you’re hearing from the headphones versus from the outside, you can swap between three different listening modes. Standard is just the good choice for everyday use. If you want a better handle on the words being said, you can turn on Voice Boost. This is great for when listening to podcasts or audiobooks in a noisy environment. Then for moments you want to ensure what you’re listening to stays private, you can turn on sound leakage reduction to reduce the amount of audio that escapes out your earbuds to be heard by those standing nearby.
The Sony LinkBuds Clip earbuds are safe to use for workouts. They maintain an IPX4 rating for water resistant, meaning they’ll be able to handle a bit of sweat or rain while you’re running, walking, biking, or hiking.
Battery life is reliable. With the Sony LinkBuds Clip earbuds, you can expect a good 9 hours of listening time on the buds alone. When you add in the charging case, you’ll get a total of up to 37 hours. For those moments you’ve forgotten to give it a recharge before heading out the door, no worries. A quick three-minute charge should lend you an extra hour of playtime.
The deal over at Amazon stretches across all four color options. You can choice to set yourself up with a model in black, green, lavender, or griege. I’ll be honest, I thought that one was a typo, but apparently it is a real color described as being a midpoint between gray and beige. I would have just called this one beige by the looks of it. Maybe go fancy with something like sandstone or cream. Call it what you want, you only have to spend $198 on the pair in greige or any other color for a limited time.
