Sony in February introduced the LinkBuds, a curious set of earphones that have an open design that’s not quite like any other in-ear headphone product on the market. We picked up a set of Sony’s strange LinkBuds to see how they measure up to Apple's third-generation AirPods.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Sony earlier this week came out with the WH-1000XM5 headphones<\/a>, which we already checked out, and the LinkBuds S, a set of noise canceling earbuds that are similar to the AirPods Pro<\/a>. In our latest YouTube video, we pit the AirPods Pro against the LinkBuds S to see how Sony’s new earbuds offering measures up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Pixel Buds Pro are Google’s new premium wireless earbuds with similar features as AirPods Pro, including active noise cancellation, a Transparency mode that lets ambient noise in, hands-free “Hey Google” voice control, automatic switching between previously paired Bluetooth devices, integration with Google’s Find My Device app for tracking their location when misplaced, and spatial audio support starting later this year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Of course, the best way to connect them to your Mac is with ToothFairy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
