Q: QuestionDo these earbuds charge wirelessly through the case, or do you have to plug them in?(3 answers)
A: AnswerHi GovernorNight, Thanks for your interest in the Sony LinkBuds S. A rechargeable battery is built into the charging case. If you charge the charging case in advance, it can charge the LinkBuds wirelessly. Unfortunately, the supplied case doesn't support wireless chargers. Charging is supported by using a personal computer with a standard USB port or a commercially available USB AC adaptor capable of supplying an output current of 0.5 A (500 mA) or more. If headphones that support wireless chargers are your priority, then we can recommend you our WF1000XM4. The supplied case of these headphones supports wireless chargers.

Q: QuestionCould these be worn for hearing protection?(3 answers)
A: AnswerFor a concert or football game, sure. For the gun range or mowing the lawn, not so much. I have tried many ANC while mowing and it tends to eventually blow the speaker trying to compensate.Answered by ClarksvilleTNBlev

Q: QuestionCan I adjust the volume without using the app or another device to control the volume?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes, initially out of the box I'm not sure, once you get them paired to your phone download the Sony App, from there you can assign what the touch sensers do for you. I have mine set so tapping the left bud turns up the volume, and touching the bud constantly turns down the volume.Answered by MikeE

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Good but not perfect
I really like these headphones. They sound great, they are very small and very comfortable. However, there are a few issues I have that make it impossible for me to give them five stars. First, there's no wireless charging which, at this price point, is baffling to me. Second, I would like to be able to customize the touch controls myself and not have to pick a preset group of controls. The battery life in the buds is really good but the battery in the charging case is average at best. The app is fine but there seems to be a lot of unnecessary clutter and it can be a little difficult to navigate. Overall, I'd say that these are a pretty solid set of buds, but not for the $200 price range

Overall very satisfied
If you are one of those people who do not wanna be TEAM SAMSUNG GALAXY or TEAM APPLE IS BEST or any other brand fandom, I definitely encourage you to buy it over other competitive products. It's just very safe choice for the price. The design is not best but clean, sound quality is amazing for the price (with the Sony headphones app), and battery life was way above my expectation.

Great sound quality and size!
Great sound very clean & crisp with just enough bass! The size is incredible I wear them while going to bed and don’t hurt my ears because they are flush with my ears I’m blown away how small they are for the sound quality and noise cancelling wich works amazingly. Battery life is great too! I still haven’t ran out of battery while using them
