Sony LinkBuds Clip

Overview

Announced January 21, 2026, the Sony LinkBuds Clip are open-ear clip earbuds that sit over the ear opening rather than inside the ear canal, letting you hear your music and the world around you simultaneously. A 10 mm dynamic driver tuned with Sony's flagship 1000X expertise pairs with DSEE upscaling, 360 Reality Audio, and three listening modes (Standard, Voice Boost, Sound Leakage Reduction), while a quad-microphone array with a bone conduction sensor and AI noise reduction keeps calls clear. With up to 9 hours of playback, up to 37 hours total via the charging case, IPX4 splash resistance, and Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint, they are built for all-day wear at work, on the move, and during workouts.
