Sony LinkBuds S review
Featherweight functional wonder with crisp bass
In review: Sony LinkBuds S are world-record small and light, but filled to bursting with features. The highlight is the app.
The founder and editor in chief of STEREO GUIDE has been testing for over three decades as a hi-fi expert for print and online magazines such as AUDIO, stereoplay, LowBeats or FAZ Kaufkompass. In addition to cultivated music playback, he likes fast cars - including classic cars - with rich sound. He also reports regularly on this topic, not least on this platform.

It has been a long time since a Bluetooth speaker has been so small and yet so good in the test. Still, the Marshall Emberton 2 costs as much as a big one.
The professional brand delivers its first Bluetooth headphones, the Mackie MC-40BT. However, it is attracted to the cable in our review.
The sound of the Roberts Radio Beacon 335 has a nostalgic charm: The Bluetooth box sounds rich and warm like a tube radio.
Sony´s WF-C500 are no-frills, easy-to-use TWS for everyday use. They offer long battery life, but do not expect audiophile sound quality.
The Sony WF-1000XM4 and the designated Sony app offer a bunch of cool gadgety features. The sound is flawless, dynamic and quite silky.
Offering a snap hook, the JBL Clip 4 can be easily hooked anywhere. How much sound could you expect from such a tiny Bluetooth speaker?
On test: Marshall Acton II, the cult brand’s smallest Bluetooth home speaker combines retro design with balanced playback.
As a complete system with connection hub and wireless transmission, the Mission LX Connect Set offers powerful, homogeneous and dynamic sound.
The Tronsmart T7 Mini is the best outdoor mini speaker in terms of bass and dynamics. And it offers pleasant sound and long battery life.
