Sony LinkBuds S Truly Wireless
Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless
The Sony WF-1000XM5 Truly Wireless are somewhat better in-ears than the Sony LinkBuds S Truly Wireless. While both buds are comfortable and well-built, the WF-1000XM5 can block out more ambient noise, although this is largely due to their memory foam ear tips creating a tight seal within your ear. Their battery performance is better, too. That said, the LinkBuds S' mic has a better recording quality.
