It’s shaping up to be a big week for headphone and earbuds fans: hot on the heels ofSony’s WH-1000XM5being leaked, The Walkman Blog has details of what could turn out to be among thebest true wireless earbudsin 2022. They’re fromSony, they’re probably going to be called the Sony Linkbuds S (model number WF-LSN900) and they appear to be positioned as a mid-range option competing directly withApple’sthird-generation AirPods.
The design appears to be a cross betweenSony’s WF-1000XM4and WF-C500s, with an engraved rather than printed logo that’s going to end up filled with all kinds of lint and dust. And according to the Walkman Blog’s analysis of the leaks, they appear to have some similarities to the WF-1000XM4: the charging pins, the proximity sensor and the charging case. There also appears to be a noise cancelling microphone and a hole to equalise the air pressure inside the earbuds. It’s hard to tell the size from the images but the Linkbuds S appear to be in between the sizes of Sony’s other earbuds: bigger than the WF-C500s but not as big as the WF-1000XM4s.

Sony Linkbuds S: what we don’t know
There’s only so much you can glean from photographs, so for the time being we don’t have any details on the Sony Linkbuds S price, their release date, their IPX rating or what kind of noise cancelling they have. However, according to leakerSnoopytechthe new earbuds have “advanced noise cancellation…[with] automatic playback that learns from your behaviour”, which sounds interesting. If that’s correct and the Linkbuds are priced keenly, that could give them an edge over Apple’sAirPods: Apple currently keeps noise cancellation for itsAirPods Pro, not its standard AirPods.
