Sony LinkBuds S leak shows traditional design, promises ANC and Ambient modes

The Sony LinkBuds have a unique design. They are made for everyday wear, and let all the sounds from the world reach you. A second model in the series has leaked, but it looks strangely normal, like a cheaper version of the WF-1000XM4.

It should be marketed as the Sony LinkBuds S (WF-LSN900) when it goes official. The original model has a model number WF-L900. It also has an opening in the middle that allows ambient sounds to pass through.

The S model does not, instead it will allegedly feature an Ambient Mode to try to do the same. Although this mode can be found on other TWS buds, pipes that sound like the buds’ mics are sent to your ears by the pipes also have it. However, the results don’t always match the original.

What the LinkBuds S will do that other TWS buds don’t is that the Ambient Mode will be triggered automatically – the buds will learn from your behavior to know when to switch between Ambient and ANC modes.

Active noise cancellation (ANC) will be one of the advantages of the S model and it should be a similar setup to the WF-1000XM4. Also, these should offer a better sound stage than the original LinkBuds when listening to music.

The buds will be available in three colors: Black, White and Gold:

There’s no word on pricing for the LinkBuds S yet, but to put things in perspective, the WF-1000XM4 are EUR280 (MSRP), the original LinkBuds are EUR180 and the WF-C500 are EUR70.
