About time Sony takes a more granular approach to configuring controls. Given that these earbuds do not support a single tap gesture, you get limited control over the buds and need to go back to the source device to execute the rest. Volume control is also available along with a few other options but you can only choose a set each for the left and the right ear. Similarly, if you choose the Select Song option for the right bud, you can use double tap for the next track and triple tap for the previous track. For instance, if you select Playback controls for the left earbud, double touch will be assigned to Play/Pause function and triple tap for the next track. The app lets you assign functions for double tap and triple tap gestures, however, the options are available in sets, and one cannot choose individual functions for each gesture. But a long pending issue about limited functionality still remains. The functions can be reconfigured using Sony’s Headphones Connect app. This is extremely cool and works flawlessly.
You can actually tap on your ear or just below to execute the function assigned to that gesture. Unlike most touch-enabled earbuds where you need to tap in the designated touch zones, one doesn’t need to touch the LinkBuds at all to register the taps. Though these buds have touch controls, Sony likes to call it Wide Area Tap for a reason. The Sony LinkBuds are not high on features like active noise cancellation (ANC) or advanced codec support, but there is one that stands out – the controls. Sony LinkBuds WF-L900: Features and Specifications (7/10) While there are magnets that hold the buds in place in the case, you still need to apply some force till you hear a click to lock them in and get them to charge. It has a button at the front to open the lid along with a charge indicator LED, and a USB-C charging port is placed at the back with a pairing/reset button. It is made of recycled plastic material and the build quality is quite solid. The same finish extends to its compact charging case. We got the white variant of the LinkBuds for review and it looks good in the smooth matte finish. Choose one that makes you feel most comfortable. You get 5 pairs of fins (if I may call them that) in the bundle for different-sized ears. A soft silicone fin helps in keeping the buds in place even during jogs and workouts, and they never popped out unintentionally even once.
But the majority voted in favour of the LinkBuds in the comfort and fit department. However, you do notice their presence in the earlobe, something not everybody who tried these buds were happy with.

The fit is quite snug and doesn’t cause any discomfort after you figure out how to wear it right. The buds sit just outside, and there’s a hole right at the centre to let the ambient noise and voices through. Unlike most TWS earphones, there is nothing here that enters the ear canals – no silicone or foam tips, nor hard shells. The design philosophy behind this product is to stay connected with your surroundings and the people around you even with these buds in your ear, and the design reflects that to an extent. The Sony LinkBuds have a highly unusual design for the buds that Sony calls Open Ring. Sony LinkBuds WF-L900: Design and Comfort (7/10)
