The LinkBuds Fit is the successor to 2022’s LinkBuds S. Like the LinkBuds S, the LinkBuds Fit has an in-ear design. However, the earbuds have been redesigned for a better fit. It has what Sony calls “Air Fitting Supporters” to help it sit more securely regardless of your ear shape.
And like its predecessor, the LinkBuds Fit have active noise cancellation to drown out ambient noise, and an ambient sound mode to let wearers stay aware of their surroundings. It uses the same Dynamic DriverX and Integrated Processor V2 found in .
The LinkBuds Fit supports multipoint connection and battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours on a single charge. The charging case provides an additional three charges, which means a total playing time of up to 22 hours.
The LinkBuds Fit comes in Black, White, Green, and Violet.

If you dislike the feeling of something in your ears, there’s the LinkBuds Open. Like the original LinkBuds from 2022, the LinkBuds Open feature a unique ring-shaped driver. When coupled with their open-ear design, these earbuds allow their wearers to stay aware of their surroundings in a way that’s unimpeded.
To improve fit, the LinkBuds Open also feature Air Fitting Supporters. Because these earbuds don’t have ANC, battery life is higher. Sony claims up to 8 hours on a single charge and another 14 hours from the case. This means a grand total of up to 22 hours of listening time. The LinkBuds Open also support multipoint connections.
It is available in Black, White, and Violet.

Joining the LinksBud lineup is a new wireless speaker called the LinkBuds Speaker. The speaker measures just 11cm tall and consists of a single tweeter and woofer setup.
The LinksBud Speaker was designed to complement the LinksBuds Fit and Open earbuds. One neat thing it can do is automatically switch playback between itself and the new LinkBuds earbuds. Presumably, it’ll start playing when you take your earbuds off and stop playing when you put them on. The LinksBuds speaker also includes a microphone so you can use it to take calls.
Sony claims the LinksBuds Speaker can last up to 25 hours if played at a moderate volume. That drops to just 6 hours if you blast it at full volume.
The LinkBuds Speaker have an IPX4 water resistance rating and comes in Black and Light Grey.
