Wireless Noise Canceling Stereo Headset
LinkBuds S
Low sound quality, or noise or unusual sound can be heard.
If the size of the earbud tips does not match the size of your ear canals or the headset is not worn properly in your
ears, tap operations or Speak-to-Chat speech detection may not work correctly, or you may not obtain the correct
sound qualities, noise canceling effects, or call performance.
If any of this is the case, try the following.
Change the earbud tips to ones that fit more snugly in your ears. When changing the earbud tips, try the earbud
tip sizes in order from the larger ones to the smaller ones. The size of the left and right earbud tips may be
different.
The “Sony | Headphones Connect” app will help you to determine which earbud tips are most suitable for you to
achieve the optimal noise cancellation effect.
Check that you are wearing the headset properly in your ears. Wear the headset so that the earbud tip is
comfortably situated as deep in the ear canal as possible.
Turn down the volume of the connected device if it is too loud.
Switch the Bluetooth connection to A2DP with the connected device when the headset and the transmitting Bluetooth
device are connected via an HFP or HSP Bluetooth connection.
If the headset connects to the previously connected Bluetooth device, the headset may only establish the HFP/HSP
Bluetooth connection when it is turned on. Use the connected device to connect via an A2DP Bluetooth connection.
When listening to music from a computer on the headset, the sound quality may be poor (e.g., difficult to hear the
singer’s voice, etc.) for the first few seconds after a connection is established. This is due to the computer
specifications (priority on stable connection at the start of transmission and then switches to priority on sound quality
several seconds later) and is not a headset malfunction.
If the sound quality does not improve after a few seconds, use the computer to establish an A2DP connection. As for
the operations on your computer, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the computer.
Some devices that emit ultrasonic sound waves designed to repel rodents may occasionally be installed at the
entrances of commercial facilities or subway stations. Near such devices, the ultrasonic sound waves may cause
noise or unusual sound to be heard from the headset. Leave the place where the noise or unusual sound is heard.
Or turn off the noise canceling function/Ambient Sound Mode from the “Sony | Headphones Connect” app.
