Sony is attracting some attention nowadays because of the PS5 Pro, but the company attracted a ton of attention back in 2022 when it unveiled its odd-looking Linkbuds. These are the open-back TWS earbuds that the company launched, and they were reviewed pretty well. Well, after two years, it looks like Sony is about to launch two more variations of its Linkbuds.
The thing that sticks out with the Linkbuds is the odd shape of the earbuds. The earpiece has a ring shape with a hole in the middle that exposes your ear. This architecture allows for an open-back feel. One thing that many audiophiles and music lovers like is the feeling of open headphones. It gives them the feeling that the audio exists around.
If you don’t want to wait for the new earbuds to come out, you can pick up a pair of the original Linkbuds for $128 on Amazon or on Sony’s website.
Sony is preparing two new pairs of Linkbuds
Right now, we don’t have too much information about these devices, but we do know that the company could be planning on launching two new pairs of earbuds. Their model numbers are YY2964 and YY2975. As for their official names, the report points to them having the names “Linkbuds Open” and “Linkbuds Fit.”
While we don’t have much information about these earbuds, the names can clue us in on what they’ll be for. It seems like the Open variant will focus on providing an open sound while the Fit variant could target athletic people. While the source didn’t say this, one can predict that the Fit will wrap around the ear.
Since the first-generation Linkbuds have an MSRP of $179.99, we’re sure that these earbuds will cost around that if not more. As for the launch date, we don’t know when Sony is going to launch them, but the source says that they’ll be out very soon. So, we should expect them before the end of the year if not the end of the month.
