The Sony LinkBuds Fit (left) have a noise-isolating design while the LinkBuds Open (right) have an open design.

Sony has completely overhauled its open wear LinkBuds, but it also added a new ANC model and a speaker to the series.

Updates to Sony's LinkBuds for this year mainly bring improvements to overall in-ear stability, along with software improvements and new color options.

LinkBuds Open shares the concept with the original LinkBuds —an arc tip that sits opposing the earlobe and a ring-shaped speaker housing. However, the design seems more polished this year with an overall matte finish.

Sony's LinkBuds line consolidates itself in several ways, and expands in others (more Olivia Rodrigo and a speaker!), with the same engine as the WF-1000XM5.
