The LinkBuds S and their USB-C charging case in white.

The Link Buds S are some of the best true wireless earbuds around. Their light and airy feel is due to their lightweight build of just 4.8 grams per bud, which is less than the price tag of $199.99. The LinkBuds S are on sale at both Amazon and B&H Photo for just over $150.

The best discounts we have seen so far on these buds are around $50. If you want earbuds that fit for longer listening sessions, you can get them in either black or white at multiple retailers. An exclusive desert sand color can be found at Best Buy.

The waterproof earbuds from Sony can automatically switch between ambient sound and noise cancellation depending on your environment.

Quality stuff is called really nicely by the Link Buds S but they are not perfect. The earbuds have a case that doesn't support wireless charging and only supports a cable for top up. It isn't a deal-breaker if you're used to plugging in devices, but for earbuds that cost more, it's a downside. The LinkBuds S are cheaper than the Sony WF-1000XM4 because of that.

LDAC support is something many other new premium earbuds are sorely lacking. It isn't essential to everyone, but LDAC is the secret sauce to improved audio quality when used with a mobile device. The LinkBuds S are IPX4 rated for sweat and water resistance and are not the most fitness focused buds. At the new lower price, all of that is more attractive.
