### Sony LinkBuds Clip Review: Open-Ear Comfort

GSMArena • September 13, 2026 at 9:00 PM ET

[×](/zh-Hant/mobi?tab=gsmarena)

The Link Buds Clip are Sony’s first clip-style earbuds, designed for open-ear comfort and spatial awareness with a secure fit. They feature a flat ribbon-shaped bridge instead of a wiry one, available in Black, Lavender, Greige, and Green at $230. The case resembles a ring box with a hidden hinge, though its glossy finish attracts smudges.

Earbuds have IPX4 sweat and rain resistance but no physical controls—all features accessed via taps. Comfort varies by user; without Fitting Cushions, they caused pain within 15 minutes for the reviewer, but the cushions significantly improved fit for small ears. Software support includes Sony’s Sound Connect app with equalizer, listening modes, DSEE, adaptive volume, and Quick Access.

Build quality is good, but the glossy case may wear poorly over time.
