I recently purchased the Sony Linkbuds S and am very disappointed with their sound. The low end is good but the high end sounds almost muffled. Lacking the sound quality i’d expect from an earbud ago this price. I’ve also been having awful connectivity issues where one bud or the other keeps cutting out.

Does anybody know how the Sony C700 compare to the Linkbuds S? If i’m unsatisfied with these will I be unsatisfied with those? Should I bite the bullet and go for the Sony WF XM5? Or does anybody know of any solid earbuds with great sound for $200 USD or less?

    I don’t know about the XM5, but someone I know who has the XM4 was blown away by how KZ ZAS sounded with KZ’s bluetooth ear hooks. He spent a week raving to other sound nerds before getting a pair for himself.

    ZAS has a bit too much bass for my ears without EQ adjustments. AS16 Pro has a more balances detailed sound.
