Time and again, Sony proves why its expertise in sound technology is unmatched. Recently, the company launched the Sony LinkBuds Fit, which promises to take user experience to the next level. I have spent a good amount of time with the latest earbuds, and the experience has been really impressive. Priced at ₹18,990, the latest Sony LinkBuds Fit has the power and feature to be a top choice in its price segment. So, let’s find out in detail what the latest Sony LinkBuds Fit has to offer.
The Sony LinkBuds Fit is all about wearing comfort without compromising on fit or stability. The earbuds weigh only 4.9 grams and are designed using years of Sony’s ear-shape data collection. They fit my ear comfortably and remained intact while I was hustling at the metro station. The newly introduced Air Fitting Supporters add another layer of comfort—these are soft and hollow to reduce ear pressure, yet firmly hooked to prevent accidental slips.

Despite being so compact, the earbuds are tough enough to handle real-world use. Thanks to an IPX4 water resistance rating, the LinkBuds Fit can easily handle splashes and sweat, making them ideal for workouts and daily commutes. They also come in stylish colours, including marble green and white editions (review variant), with matching case designs that are unique—no two cases are alike. The case itself is easy to open and close in any orientation, exuding a classy, thoughtful touch.
The LinkBuds Fit supports effortless pairing across a wide range of devices. Fast Pair on Android lets you connect with a single tap, while Swift Pair makes connecting to Windows 10 or 11 devices seamless. Once connected, the earbuds offer Multipoint Connection, allowing them to pair with two Bluetooth devices simultaneously—automatically switching to the one receiving a call or playing audio.

In addition, the earbuds are already equipped to support LE Audio (Beta), a next-gen Bluetooth audio standard that significantly reduces latency, ideal for gamers. The Integrated Processor V2 also ensures a stable, low-latency connection with high-quality audio transmission to both ears simultaneously.
Sony brings a powerhouse of audio tech to the LinkBuds Fit. They’re equipped with the same Integrated Processor V2 found in Sony’s premium models, which actively optimises noise cancelling performance in real time. Dual Noise Sensor Technology works with multiple microphones to filter out ambient noise, while the Auto NC Optimiser adjusts noise cancellation based on your surroundings.

If you prefer staying aware of your environment, Ambient Sound Mode and Auto Ambient Sound let in essential sounds like conversations and public announcements. Even better, the Adaptive Sound Control learns your routines and switches settings based on location and activity, giving you a personalised experience without manual effort.
When it comes to call clarity, the LinkBuds Fit does a very good job. Powered by Precise Voice Pickup Technology, the earbuds use internal and external microphones along with AI-based audio processing to deliver clear conversations—even in noisy environments. The AI noise reduction algorithm has been trained on over 500 million voice samples, ensuring your voice is isolated and background noise is effectively suppressed.
Whether you’re taking a call in a crowded market or in an auto rickshaw, the person on the other end will hear you loud and clear.
Sony has made interacting with the LinkBuds Fit feel natural and intuitive. With Wide Area Tap, you can control playback by tapping near your ears—no need to touch the earbuds themselves. Head gesture control allows you to nod to accept a call or shake your head to reject it. There’s even Speak-to-Chat, which automatically pauses music when you start talking and resumes it when you’re done.

Voice assistants like Google Assistant and Alexa are built-in, allowing hands-free control. Say the command and get access to your music, reminders, and more. The Auto Play feature goes a step further by automatically playing music or sending reminders based on your routines, while Voice Cue ensures you never miss out on essential notifications.
And if you misplace your earbuds, Fast Pair helps you locate them by showing you the last known location on your Android device.
The sound performance of the earbuds is on point. I asked some of my friends to listen to some music through the buds, and they all had the same reaction - clarity and beats on point. The LinkBuds Fit delivers rich and immersive sound, powered by the specially designed Dynamic Driver X. This driver ensures a wide frequency range and low distortion, reproducing detailed vocals and clear highs. DSEE Extreme, backed by Edge-AI, restores high-range elements lost in compressed audio, so even older tracks sound fresher and fuller.
Support for LDAC means you get to enjoy High-Resolution Audio wirelessly. LDAC transmits nearly three times more data than standard Bluetooth codecs, ensuring that your music sounds as close to the original recording as possible.
For movie buffs and gamers, the experience gets even better. With head tracking and 360 Spatial Sound, the earbuds adapt to your movements, creating a truly immersive audio environment. Pair them with a Bravia TV and enable Dolby Atmos to turn your living room into a mini-theatre. The 360 Spatial Sound Personaliser app even tailors the experience by analysing your unique ear shape.
On the battery front, the LinkBuds Fit offers up to 5.5 hours of playback, with the case providing an additional 16.5 hours — a total of over 21 hours on a full charge. A quick 5-minute top-up gives an impressive 1 hour of listening, perfect for those in a rush.
The Sony LinkBuds Fit successfully combines intelligent sound features, incredible comfort, and smart functionality in a compact, stylish design. With advanced noise cancelling, rich sound quality, seamless smart integration, and a secure fit, these earbuds are a compelling choice in the segment.
If you’re looking for earbuds that not only sound great but also adapt to your daily life with unmatched ease, the LinkBuds Fit are more than ready to deliver.
