Linkbuds UC - Probaby skip buying it
March 16, 2023
NOTE - This is a review for the product "LinkBuds Truly Wireless Earbuds - Teams Certified Version - Model: LinkBuds UC". The model does not exist at the time I registered the product on the Sony US site, so I had to register it as a random WF-L900 headset.
This product did not have a single review at the time of purchase, so I decided to take a "leap of faith".
Disadvantages:
- They do not feature noise cancellation. But I didn't choose them for that but wanted them to have the best ambient noise possible since I would be using them to commute to work.
- They do not have volume up/down buttons or gestures. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
- Microsoft Teams functions can only be activated on the left earbud. You can't change what this headset does, so if you want to customize any gestures, you can only do it on the right earbud, and options are limited.
- If you activate the voice assistant, it doesn't read notifications to you automatically, you will have to ask it from time to time.
- Battery time is low, compared to similar cost options.
Advantages
- By design, they have the best ambient noise you can ask for, it is simply the best choice if you want to be aware of your surroundings while commuting to work.
- The integration with Microsoft Teams is natural and very useful when you use the USB dongle. Too bad you don't have the same experience when using it on your cell phone with the same application. No mute/raise hand features when using Teams on your smartphone.... Read More
