Sony's LinkBuds are the weirdest wireless earbuds I've ever used. Just look at their donut-shaped design (officially called an "open ring design") and you immediately know there's something very different about them.
The pitch to me from Sony last week was a bit mixed. I heard everything from "they're for Gen Z" to "an always-on product to link your online and offline worlds,” to the LinkBuds' tagline: "Never off." I'm not convinced any of the reasons are good ones to solely buy the LinkBuds over AirPods 3, or Nothing Ear (1), or any of the dozens of wireless earbuds that come out every year (that we just so happen to review).
