Sony is also unveiling a new pair of earbuds – the Sony LinkBuds S, to be sold alongside the earlier LinkBuds.

What makes these true wireless earbuds with active noise canceling extra interesting is Sony's claim that they're "the world’s smallest and lightest" wireless headphones. The world's smallest and lightest noise canceling, Hi-Res, truly wireless headphones As we previously suspected thanks to a recent leak, the LinkBuds S are indeed impressively light. And in fact, according to Sony, they're the smallest and lightest true wireless earbuds in the world right now.

The LinkBuds S weigh about 4.8 grams, and in terms of design, Sony says making them comfortable was a main priority. So they feature an ergonomic form factor to match the ear without causing irritation, while also retaining a stable, secure fit. Meaning they won't fly off the ears during an intense workout, but also shouldn't start feeling uncomfortable after wearing them for hours. Thanks to their size, we can reasonably expect those promises to be true, but stay tuned – we'll review them soon and let you know for sure.

In terms of design, the earbuds drop the "open ring driver" design of the earlier Sony LinkBuds, and their charging case is now vertical, more akin to an AirPods one, as opposed to a wedding ring-like case design. The LinkBuds S do still have rubber ear tips, though, and the same touch controls.

The Sony LinkBuds S feature the same Voice Pickup Technology found in the new Sony WH-1000XM5, which the company claims should help clear your voice during calls, even on a noisy street or during windy weather.
