Comfortable clip design for open-ear listening Hear your favourite music or podcasts while staying aware of the world around you. Exceptionally lightweight and comfy, you can wear these open-ear earbuds all day long. They clip gently onto your ear without blocking the ear canal, allowing sounds to pass through naturally. Unlike over-ear headphones or regular in-ear earbuds, the clip-on design provides a secure yet barely-there fit that suits almost any ear shape and size. Running errands or going for a run, you won’t miss a thing. Sony-quality sound, tuned your way Drawing on decades of Sony audio expertise, LinkBuds Clip offer the clear bass and natural vocals you'd expect from a Sony product. DSEE technology restores detail in compressed tracks, keeping your audio closer to the original studio quality, and the 10-band EQ in the Sound Connect app lets you fine-tune the sound to your taste — from deeper, more powerful bass to brighter, clearer treble — or simply choose a preset that matches your mood. 3 versatile listening modes, tap-activated Easily adjust the sound to suit your environment. Standard Mode brings music and entertainment to life with rich, balanced sound and exceptional audio quality - Voice Boost emphasises vocals, perfect for audiobooks, podcasts or calls. And when privacy matters, Sound Leakage Mode minimises audio spill, so only you hear what’s playing in quiet spaces. There’s no need to reach for your phone to switch between these listening modes. Simply tap on the earbud to switch instantly. A natural fit, with exclusive Fitting Cushions These clip-on earbuds are designed to provide a secure, stable fit that fits naturally onto the outer ear. For those with smaller ears, the supplied Fitting Cushions provide extra stability and comfort, so you can feel confident that you’ve got a reliable fit, wherever you go. Splashes and sweat are combatted with an IPX4 rating. The open-ear structure has been carefully engineered to reduce sound leakage, allowing music and calls to remain private, while you keep tabs on your surroundings. Clear call quality, powered by AI Even in the middle of a busy train station, you can make and take clear phone calls. Bone conduction technology accurately detects your voice and separates it from surrounding sounds for clear, natural speech. AI Noise Reduction filters out unwanted background noise, so the person on the other end of the phone will hear you loud and clear. For added convenience, you can mute and unmute yourself directly from the ear phones - ideal for everything from meetings to quick catch-ups with friends. Long battery life, quick charging With up to 37 hours of battery life, listen for longer, without worrying about your next charge. The earbuds alone deliver an impressive 9 hours of playback, and a further 28 hours are stored in the case. If you are ever running low in a hurry, a quick 3-minute charge provides 1 hour of playback – plenty to power you through your commute or a workout. AI assistant, wherever you go With Gemini access straight from the earbuds, your AI assistant is always ready for action. Simply tap on the open-ear headphones to launch Gemini Live on your smartphone – no need to take your phone out of your pocket or bag. From checking your calendar and sending messages to finding quick answers or controlling your music, Gemini gives you smart, real-time help instantly. Smart controls for effortless listening Adjust volume, manage music, or switch listening modes directly from the clip-on earphones or the Sony | Sound Connect app. Don’t even lift a finger with Adaptive Volume Control. This intuitive feature automatically adjusts audio, raising it when the world gets louder and softening it when things quieten down, keeping your content clear wherever you go. And with Quick Access mode, jump straight into your favourite playlists from compatible streaming services without searching on your phone.
