I don’t get tired, but the sound is good.
There are two types of earphones: the “open type” that does not block the ears and the “closed type” that closes the ears tightly. Open-type earphones should not tire your ears, but there is also the problem that bass is hard to come out. It’s an annoying problem that you can’t stand if you stand there.
HoweverSony’s open wireless earphone “LinkBuds”Then, it seems that it will solve such a problem from a different point of view. Here’s a review by Sataka from the Gizmodo editorial department, who is also a musician!
There is an open type usage!
The feature of LinkBuds is, after all,Lightness of the main body.. One is very lightweight, about 4.1g, so your ears won’t get tired. In addition, 5 types of fitting supporters can be fitted to various shapes of ears.
Of course, because it is an open type, you can use it while listening to the surrounding sounds. The feeling of the sound is quite high resolution and solid. The bass is decent … but it can also be adjusted with the EQ. Also, the good localization was outstanding, and I had the impression that the position of the instrument was clearly visible.
One of the great things about open earphones is that you can mix music with the surrounding sounds. For example, in a park, it would be nice to combine the voice of a bird with an ambient-like song. Also, because it’s open so it’s hard to get bass, it was nice to choose and listen to songs with less bass!
I used to use only the closed type “AirPods Pro” recently, but I wonder if I should go back to the open type earphones again …
