They sit comfortably in the ear and don't fall out like some in-ears do. They are also super light. Sound is fine. Because they are not deep in your ear, of course, a little less bass, but still fine and can be adjusted in the equalizer. Don't buy if you want rock hard bass. 360 degree audio feature is funny. Really goes around in your head, but can also get boring, music that goes from left to right and back all the time. With some songs it really feels like you're listening to speakers that are somewhere in the room. Very funny.

I've been seriously looking for the perfect earphones for work and private for a year and a half. In-ear. About ear. headset. Bone construction earphones. I really tried a lot and they were all (just) not. In-ear earphones irritate me quickly. Don't have Multipoint or drop out quickly. Over ear does not look like. A headset for 1 ear is ultimately not nice either. And those bone-construction ears... well, they do have a clip for over the ear and that is annoying with glasses. The LinkBuds are close to perfection for me. The LinkBuds are super light and sit firmly in the ear. They do not irritate the ear canal. It produces a seriously beautiful sound. And the LinkBuds has 2 fantastic features; for example, the music automatically turns off when you start talking and back on when you stop talking. That really works perfectly and is great. In addition, to turn the music up or down, you don't have to click on the earpiece itself. Clicking against the ear or your temple near the earpiece also works well. The only drawback of the LinkBuds: as far as I know the LinkBuds does not have MultiPoint. I haven't looked into it further. I just bought 2 pairs; 1 white pair for work (pair with laptop) and 1 gray pair for private (pair with mobile for music). I finally have peace and can stop the search.

The first time you put them in is a special experience, you are used to earbuds clinging to your ear canal, but they almost 'float' in your auricle. The design allows all the ambient noise to pass through, very strange feeling at first. Yet they are quite firmly in place, I would exercise with them without fear of them falling out. They are very light, there are no magnets for charging, but they clamp in the box.
The box is rounded on all sides and quite small, so it fits nicely in your pocket. But due to the shape and size, it is difficult to open, also due to the fairly heavy operation of the closure and the way the earbuds are clamped. The box has slipped away from me because of that, luckily on carpet, but if that happens to you standing on a platform with your cold fingers, you're not happy..
Depending on the shape of your ear, the speakers are quite far from the ear canal, I notice that I have to turn the volume more than half, where with other earbuds 20% is loud. The sound quality does not suffer from this.
There are some innovative features in it; for example, you can enable the option that your music will pause when you start talking. That works well in itself, but if you have a cough you should not turn it on because with every cough your music goes on pause :) Another feature they call wide area tapping, then you can tap in front of your ear to activate pause/play etc instead of tapping the earbud itself. This also works well and looks cool, until you eat something with music on, with me the double tap function is constantly activated (pause).
The packaging does not contain plastic and the used material of the earbuds is recycled, which is very good of course, but a product with 3 batteries instead of a wire does not remain very environmentally friendly.
