Sony has officially expanded its premium audio portfolio in India with the launch of its much-anticipated LinkBuds Fit. Aimed at audiophiles and on-the-go users alike, the new earbuds boast high-resolution wireless audio, cutting-edge noise cancellation technology, and smart AI-powered voice features. This launch underlines Sony’s commitment to delivering superior sound experiences in the increasingly competitive earbuds market.
The LinkBuds Fit sit comfortably in Sony’s mid-to-premium range and inherit several features from the company’s flagship models. With a sleek, compact design and enhanced fit, they are tailored to offer a secure and pleasant listening experience, whether you’re commuting, working out, or working from home.
Price and availability
The Sony LinkBuds Fit have been priced at Rs 18,990 in India and are available in three colour options: Black, White, and a fresh Green variant.
To sweeten the deal, Sony is offering a launch promotion starting 7 April 2025, for a limited period. Buyers will receive a complimentary SRS-XB100 portable speaker, adding extra value to the package. This offer is expected to appeal to both loyal Sony users and those exploring premium audio solutions for the first time.
Features and specifications
At the heart of the LinkBuds Fit lies the Sony V2 Processor, the same powerful chip that drives the acclaimed WF-1000XM5. This processor enables real-time noise cancellation, adjusting to the user’s surroundings to dynamically suppress ambient noise. Whether you’re on a busy street or in a quiet room, the buds adapt accordingly.
For sound quality, Sony has pulled no punches. The earbuds support High-Resolution Audio Wireless via LDAC, Sony’s proprietary codec that transmits roughly three times more data than conventional Bluetooth audio. This results in a more nuanced, detailed listening experience. Complementing this is Dynamic Driver X, a specially engineered driver unit with a multi-material diaphragm that minimises distortion and supports a wide frequency response.
The LinkBuds Fit also utilise DSEE Extreme, Sony’s AI-driven audio enhancement system. This feature works in real time to upscale compressed audio files, bringing out details often lost in low-quality formats — a boon for music lovers using streaming platforms.

Ultra-clear calling and smart features
Sony has also focused heavily on call quality, a feature often overlooked in wireless earbuds. The Precise Voice Pickup Technology pairs with an AI-based system to deliver “ultra-clear calls”, ensuring your voice is heard with clarity even in noisy surroundings. Background interference is intelligently filtered, making the LinkBuds Fit a solid choice for business calls or voice notes on the move.
Redesigned for comfort and stability
One of the standout features of the LinkBuds Fit is their redesigned ergonomic fit, made possible through extensive ear shape data research. The Air Fitting Supporters provide a snug, pressure-free hold in the ear. The design combines a soft hollow tail to reduce strain and a rigid hook to maintain stability. Soft silicone tips ensure a gentle yet secure seal, suitable for prolonged use. Each earbud weighs a mere 4.9 grams, making them among the lightest in their class.
Final word
With the LinkBuds Fit, Sony is clearly targeting a refined audio experience that doesn’t compromise on comfort or functionality. By packing in high-res audio support, intelligent noise cancellation, and call clarity into a featherweight design, Sony has made a compelling case for its latest entrant.
Whether you’re an audiophile or simply someone who appreciates crisp, uninterrupted sound, the LinkBuds Fit may just hit the right note.
