Sony has unveiled its latest innovation in audio technology, the LinkBuds Fit, designed to provide an exceptionally comfortable listening experience. Featuring silicone air cushions, these adjustable noise cancelling earbuds offer a secure, customized fit and can be operated without any physical contact.
As previously teased, Sony has introduced a new lineup of LinkBuds that includes the LinkBuds Fit, which promises unparalleled comfort. The innovative ‘Air Fitting Supporters,’ which are small silicone air cushions, minimize contact with the ear and reduce pressure. This unique design aims to ensure a snug fit for almost any ear shape, with elastic attachments included for added adaptability.
With Sony’s renowned V2 processor, also found in the WF-1000XM5 earphones (REVIEW), the LinkBuds Fit delivers impressive noise reduction capabilities. Furthermore, these earbuds offer an ambient noise mode that intelligently adjusts the sounds you hear based on your environment. This enhances the overall experience by providing immersive, noise cancelling sound without losing touch with your surroundings.
