Sony has integrated the Bluetooth Audio SoC (System on Chip) and high quality noise cancelling processor in one single chip on the Linkbuds S. The Sony LinkBuds S automatically switches between Ambient Sound Mode and noise cancelling depending on where you are and what you’re doing.
Adaptive Sound Control is a smart function that senses where you are and what you’re doing, then adjusts ambient sound settings for the ideal listening experience. Over time, it learns your behaviour and recognises locations that you frequently visit, such as your workplace or a favourite café, and tailors sound to suit the situation.
The LinkBuds S house new 5mm driver unit, featuring a high-compliance diaphragm. Furthermore, it supports High-Resolution Audio Wireless thanks to LDAC. Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Extreme upscales compressed digital music files in real time. In addition, Sony and Microsoft have come together to develop technology that helps people better navigate through the world.
