Sony LinkBuds Open: Stay Aware, But Mind the Audio Trade-Off

TL;DR Summary
The Sony LinkBuds Open, priced at $200, are open-ear earbuds with a unique design featuring a hole for ambient sound. Despite their innovative concept, they face challenges in fit and audio quality, lacking bass and having a one-size-fits-all design that doesn't suit everyone. While they offer features like Spatial Audio and head tracking, their analog approach to ambient sound is less effective compared to digital transparency modes. Overall, the LinkBuds Open struggle to justify their price and purpose in a market with more practical alternatives.
