Sony has unveiled the LinkBuds Clip, its latest open-ear audio innovation designed to let users enjoy their music while staying fully aware of their surroundings. Featuring a unique clip-style, open design, the LinkBuds Clip delivers an always-on listening experience that blends comfort, awareness, and Sony’s signature sound quality.
Unlike traditional in-ear earbuds, the LinkBuds Clip sit comfortably outside the ear canal, allowing users to hear ambient sounds such as conversations, traffic, and announcements without removing the earbuds. This socially friendly design reduces ear fatigue, improves airflow, and enables natural interaction throughout the day.
Designed with real-world use in mind, the LinkBuds Clip feature a C-shaped clip design that fits a wide range of ear shapes. The earbuds come with removable fitting cushions to ensure a secure and stable fit, making them suitable for long hours of wear and light outdoor activities.
Smart Listening Modes for Any Environment
The LinkBuds Clip offer three listening modes that can be switched with a simple tap. Standard Mode delivers balanced sound for everyday music listening, Voice Boost Mode enhances speech clarity in noisy environments, while Sound Leakage Reduction Mode minimises sound spill in quieter spaces.
Sony Audio and Call Quality
Powered by Sony’s audio expertise refined through its flagship 1000X series, the LinkBuds Clip deliver rich, natural sound despite their open design. Features include DSEE audio upscaling, 360 Reality Audio, and a customisable 10-band EQ via the Sony | Sound Connect app.
For calls, the earbuds use a bone conduction sensor, AI-powered noise reduction, and precise voice pickup technology to ensure clear and natural conversations, even in busy environments.
Built for Everyday Comfort and Convenience
Lightweight and stylish, the LinkBuds Clip are inspired by ear cuff designs and are available in Black, Green, Lavender, and Greige. They support Multipoint Connection, tap controls, and scene-based listening, adapting sound settings automatically based on user activity.
The earbuds offer up to 37 hours of battery life with the charging case, along with quick charging that provides up to one hour of playback from just three minutes of charging. With an IPX4 water resistance rating, they are suitable for workouts and daily commutes.
