Wear your music all day
With your ears left open, you can follow conversations, hear street sounds and still enjoy balanced playback.
Listening modes
Switch between three listening modes to suit your surroundings. From busy streets to quiet places, choose the mode that fits the moment.
A balanced, natural sound for everyday listening. In Standard mode, your music feels like part of your day, not a barrier to it.
Voice Boost increases volume and makes voices stand out, so you don’t have to strain to hear your favourite podcasts or songs, even in busy places.
Sound Leakage Reduction adjusts high frequencies to help reduce sound leakage, making it ideal for shared spaces like elevators or trains where you want your music to stay more private.
Sound & Call quality
Naturally balanced sound across all genres. Tracks sound as they were intended – rich, detailed and clear – while the open-type design keeps you connected to your surroundings.
When an original music source is compressed, it loses the high-frequency elements that add detail and richness to a track. Our Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE™) faithfully restores these to produce high-quality sound that’s closer to the original recording.
Precise Voice Pickup technology and dual microphones work with AI-based signal processing to isolate your speech and deliver clear calls wherever you are.
Bone conduction sensor captures your voice vibrations, filtering out ambient noise and background sounds. Experience exceptionally clear voice transmission that focuses purely on what you’re saying, not what’s around you.
Our noise reduction algorithm, developed through AI machine learning with diverse voice and ambient sound data, delivers exceptionally clear speech across a wide range of environments. Experience intelligent audio processing that adapts to your surroundings.
Every day has its own rhythm. Use the 10-band equaliser in the Sony | Sound Connect app to tune it: lift the vocals, deepen the bass or save your signature mix for when the mood hits.
With 360 Reality Audio Certified headphones and our Sony | Sound Connect app you can optimise your experience by analysing your individual ear shapes, and enjoy the ultimate immersive music experience. An advanced personal optimisation algorithm gives an even greater sense of sound space, distance and height, allowing you to become even more immersed in the music1.
Enjoy a thrilling Dolby Atmos® experience and 360 Spatial Sound that adapts to your ears with BRAVIA™ and these headphones3.
360 Spatial Sound Personalizer
With the Sony | 360 Spatial Sound Personalizer app4, you’ll enjoy a sound experience that’s optimised for you. The app captures and analyses your ear shape, allowing these headphones to create your own personal spatial sound field when paired with BRAVIA XR TVs2.
Design & Wearability
Barely there but always with you. Stay comfortable and stable whether you’re working, walking, or on the move. Plus the included Fitting Cushions allow for a personalised and comfortable fit.
A smooth, cuff-like silhouette. It feels like an accessory and wears like one too.
Even with an open-ear design, the housing structure helps reduce sound leakage. Carefully optimised ventilation hole shapes and placement balance function with design. This gives you a more personal listening experience, while the fit stays open, comfortable and considerate of your surroundings.
Iconic by proportion: curved earbuds and a stacked, soft-block case in refined pop shades-recognisable at a glance, easy to style.
Choose from four colours that complement your personal style and everyday wardrobe: Lavender, Greige, Green and Black. Each finish is designed to feel like part of your everyday look.
Usability
Get up to 37 hours of total playtime (9 hours in the earbuds, plus 28 in the case)5,6. And when you’re short on time, a quick 3-minute charge gives you about an hour of extra listening.
With an IPX47 water resistance rating, splashes and sweat won’t stop these earbuds – so you can keep on moving to the music.
Multipoint Connection allows the LinkBuds Clip earbuds to be paired with two Bluetooth® devices simultaneously. So, if you’re listening to music on one device, and a call comes in on another, your music is automatically paused and the call is switched from the other device. Your music then automatically resumes once the call is complete.
Along with your LinkBuds Clip and charging case, you’ll find a set of Fitting Cushions for a precise fit.
The antenna design is optimised for Sony’s first ear-cuff form factor. A simultaneous retransmission system improves connectivity compared with previous models8, so your music stays stable, even in crowded environments.
Linkbuds Clip are even better with the Sony | Sound Connect app. The simple, intuitive interface lets you dial in your ideal sound and shortcut settings, and can keep track of your recent listening history.
Find your earbuds with Fast Pair
In one tap, the LinkBuds Clip enable effortless Bluetooth® pairing with your Android™ devices9. You can even check to see where you last placed it.
Easy pairing with your computer
Swift Pair makes it quick and easy to pair your earbuds with your Windows 11 or Windows 10 laptop, desktop PC or tablet. Pop-up pairing guidance appears on nearby Windows 11 or Windows 10 devices when pairing mode is selected.
One earbud, ideal for multitasking
If you want to listen to your music while still being able to have a conversation, remove one earbud only from the charging case and use as normal10.
Easy operation
Simple taps handle playback, volume, and listening modes. The Sony | Sound Connect app lets you customise controls, use Bluetooth® multipoint to connect two devices at once, and adjust settings for voice assistants so everything works the way you like it.
Enjoy a comfortable listening experience with intuitive tap controls. You can adjust the tap sensitivity using the Sony│Sound Connect app.
A shortcut to your music with simple taps, and no need to touch your smartphone11,12,13. You can enjoy your music in an effortless way.
Adaptive Volume Control automatically adjusts loudness to match the noise around you, keeping listening comfortable from quiet rooms to busy streets14.

You can enjoy music exactly when you need them by turning on Wear to Play and each scene. Playback starts automatically when you put your headphones in – no need to touch your smartphone – and plays the right music for the moment, based on your daily routines or sensing activities like a daily walk, gym workout, or commute. And, with Voice Cue you’ll still be notified of important information like appointments and reminders, so you can always stay connected to both life and entertainment wherever you go16.
Switch playback between your LinkBuds Clip and LinkBuds Speaker seamlessly with Auto Switch. Simply place your earbuds back in their case when you’re near the speaker and playback will continue on the speaker. Then switch back when you take your earbuds out again for on-the-go listening14.
