Our Verdict
Apple AirPods (2nd generation) Truly Wireless
Sony LinkBuds Truly Wireless
The Apple AirPods (2nd generation) are better for most purposes than the Sony LinkBuds Truly Wireless. The Apple headphones have a more comfortable, stable fit for most, a better build quality, and a more neutral sound profile, although neither pair reproduces much bass. Their case holds more extra charges. On the other hand, the Sony headphones' continuous battery life is a few hours longer. They also support virtual surround sound and have a graphic EQ and presets for sound customization.
