Additional review notes: PHYSICAL DESIGN C500 Physical buttons (feel a bit mushy, but great for athletes) Very small and comfortable Cheap feeling case 4 colors (coral/mint/white/black) Linkbuds Open design is incredibly light, breathable, and comfortable Can be finicky with the fit Control by tapping your jaw joint Case has a button 2 colors (black/white) Linkbuds S The lightest, smallest ANC hifi earbuds on the market Extremely light and comfortable Touch pads (customizable in the app) Made from recycled plastic 4 colors (white/black/tan) WF-1000XM4 Touch controls (customizable in app) Largest case Premium design The only model with wireless charging Comes with foam tips The foam tip problem 2 colors (black/silver) ALL IPX4 COMFORT Rank: Link, Link S, C500, XM4 BATTERY C500: 10/20 Link: 5.5/23 Link S: 6/20 XM4: 8/24 SOUND C500: constant hissing sound Sounds claustrophobic with poor instrument separation Muddy bass make them sound less deep and less wide than I would like Lively sound overall with powerful lows. Pop sounds fun with these. For the price, not a bad balance, but there is plenty of better sounding competition Only AAC & SBC codecs Link: Only supports SBC & AAC Great clarity, but lacks bass Anything below 200Hz is significantly deemphasized Open-back type sound, great for a quiet work space in which you wear earbuds for many hours per day! Link S: LDAC support Fun and lively A smaller driver than the XM4, but still an impressive sub-bass performance A bit warm and dark. I wish there was better spatial replication and it didn’t sound like it was all in the middle of my head Still pretty decent XM4: LDAC support Warmer, more powerful and full sounding. Great detail and clarity with a wider soundstage. More natural and clear than any other earbuds on this list. A substantial improvement over the others, but an untrained ear may not notice too much difference between Link S and these.
