Japanese tech giant Sony is back with a new product lineup for their LinkBuds line that debuts in 2022. This lineup of audio accessories combines style and functionality, and started out as tech-backed earbuds. Now, LinkBuds is expanding and bringing two new models and a speaker as part of the brand's latest rollout.
First of all, LinkBuds Fit has a new ergonomic design that provides comfort and helps with noise cancellation. Its Auto Ambient Sound Mode automatically adjusts ambient sound to suit the user's environment, while new intuitive controls include Wide Area Tap, which allows users to simply tap the front of their ear to control the music. Color options include black, white, green, and a special violet chosen by Olivia Rodrigo.
As for the LinkBuds Open, it uses an open-ring design designed to keep users connected to their surroundings. With Adaptive Volume Control, it makes it even easier to optimize volume based on the user's location. The Open is available in black, white, and the collaborative violet colorways. Both models of earbuds come with new Fitting Supporters and Case Covers available in different designs that can be mixed and matched, further expanding the lineup's customization options. Finally, LinkBuds Speakers are portable, durable, and smart—with Auto Switch, playback changes between listening devices based on the user's situation.
For those interested in purchasing the three new Sony LinkBuds products, the Fit and Open models are now available for pre-order for $200 USD each at Sony and authorized dealers. As for the LinkBuds Speaker, it is currently only available in the US and can be pre-ordered for a starting price of $180 USD through Sony.
