“Unrivaled comfort.” That’s how Sony positioned its new LinkBuds Fit noise-canceling wireless earbuds when they debuted alongside the company’s two other new LinkBuds products, the LinkBuds Open and LinkBuds Speaker. That’s a bold claim. It’s also pretty accurate. I don’t know if they’re the most comfortable wireless earbuds you can buy—maybe you have weird ears?—but as far as my ears are concerned, they’re easily in the top three.

Now that we have that out of the way, what about the LinkBuds Fit’s many other characteristics and features? Let’s check ‘em out.

First a note on where the Fit sit in Sony’s earbuds lineup. It’s tempting to think of these buds as successors to the 2022 LinkBuds S. But since Sony plans to sell the two products side by side for the foreseeable future, they’re more like siblings. The Fit offer a few more bells and whistles—some of which come directly from Sony’s $300 flagship, the WF-1000XM5—yet with the same $200 price as the S.

Design-wise, the Fit may not win over S fans. Sony has used a lot of silicone on the LinkBuds Fit, mostly in the form of the new, hook-shaped “Air Fitting Supporters” (which is a terrible name). It’s a very different look. It’s also a different shape.
