Sony LinkBuds Fit review: comfort above everything else


Zwischen Sonys neuem LinkBuds Open und Fit gibt es einen grossen Unterschied. Der LinkBuds Open setzt auf eine offene Bauweise: Er hat ein Loch im Hörbereich und lässt so alle Umgebungsgeräusche durch. Der Vorteil: Beim Fahrradfahren oder Joggen im Strassenverkehr hört man seine Umgebung problemlos. Der Fit verwendet hingegen die klassische Bauweise mit Silikonaufsätzen, die den Gehörgang abdichten. Dadurch kann man sich vollkommen der Musik hingeben.


Die beiden Kopfhörer kommen in einer sehr kompakten Verpackung. Mit dabei sind ein äusserst handliches Ladecase, eine Kurzanleitung und ein USB-C-Ladekabel. Zudem hat Sony beim Fit noch mehrere Silikonaufsätze dazu gepackt.




Die Installation hat Sony ausgezeichnet gelöst: Bluetooth am Smartphone aktivieren, Kopfhörer ins Ohr stecken, auf «Verbinden» klicken. Mehr braucht es nicht. Zudem empfiehlt es sich, die «Sound Connect»-App herunterzuladen; sie ermöglicht zahlreiche Einstellungen und Anpassungen. Enthalten sind etwa ein Equalizer oder Funktionen zum Anpassen der Tippsteuerung. Schade: Die App wirkt etwas altbacken und überladen. Hier könnte Sony das Design und die Menüführung gerne mal auffrischen.



Otherwise, the buds are pretty comfy for extended listening, which is key to their aim of all-day wearability. Also key is a boosted battery that nearly doubles the talk time from 2.5 hours to 4.5, and provides up to 8 hours of listening time compared to the previous pair’s 5.5 hours. This addresses one of my biggest gripes about the O.G. Linkbuds and may partly account for the heftier weight. The slimmer charging case adds more time off the grid for 22 hours total, but as before, there’s no Qi wireless charging.



In true Sony fashion, the Linkbuds Open offer plenty of other extras like multipoint connection to pair with two devices at once, auto-pause sensors, and a speak-to-chat option that pauses sound when you talk. As with the previous Linkbuds, there’s also Adaptive Volume, which raises or lowers volume based on environmental sounds. I was hoping the V2 chip would make this more nuanced than before, but it’s still too touchy, raising volume unevenly with noises like a light gust of wind. Still, it could come in handy, considering there’s no form of noise-canceling (for obvious reasons).


They don't sound quite as good as the LinkBuds Fit, but they're among the best-sounding open earbuds and do feature clear, nicely detailed sound. They don't deliver as much bass as the LinkBuds Fit and other premium noise-isolating buds, but in quieter environments anyway, there's a relatively small drop-off in sound quality from noise-isolating buds. Also, like other open buds, their sound does have an open, airy quality to it.



voice-calling performance was good and the buds have good battery life. They're rated for up to 8 hours on a single charge, with the compact case providing an additional 14 hours. It's worth noting the lightweight case, which features a trendy marble swirl on the glossy top portion, feels a tad flimsy, but hopefully it will hold up fine over time. Note that the case does not have wireless charging, which is a tad disappointing for a set of $200 earbuds.
