Sony has put up a teaser for their new upcoming LinkBuds models, the Open and Fit. The reveal is on October 1st at 09:00 PST. We can see from the teaser that both models will debut, the Open (top left) and the Fit (bottom right). I am embedding the stream below.
If you frequently browse the Sony headphones subreddit, you will have seen at least 1 or 2 posts per week with photos of broken WH-1000XM5 hinges/swivels. I have set up a post on the subreddit asking users to post their stories but did not get many replies, so making a post here as well. Feel free to share the subreddit post or this blog post in other forums where users have posted such breaks.
If you have recently opened your Headphones Connect app, you probably have seen the new popup indicating the app will be changing this October. The app will self update once it will be released, so nothing new needs to be installed.
I saw this earlier on Twitter and thought it was just a special edition with some artist, so I thought nothing of it. But it is a new colour and quite late in the life cycle. Obviously the new colour is to spur sales, but a small price drop to the regular retail price would also be very beneficial in my opinion.
A good source has just provided me with some information regarding the upcoming LinkBuds line. The upcoming 2 new models, the YY2964 and YY2975 will be known as the LinkBuds Open and LinkBuds Fit respectively.
If you own a non-Android Walkman which supports drag and drop, my old tutorial will probably not work on Windows 11. So here are 2 options, the first using Media Player and the second using Winamp. This tutorial is directed at the Sony OS players, rather than the Android models and the newer NW-A30/40/50. I do not own any new players, so I cannot make a tutorial for those for the time being, maybe in the future if I collect enough donations from BuyMeaCoffee.
The Sony WF-C510 has been announced. The new model will be available in early September, and will be priced at $59 USD / $99 CAD / €59 / £55. I was initially going to post this earlier but decided to wait for the official announcement. I want to pre-order but I am seeing a variety of different shipping dates on various websites, so I will wait a few more days before ordering one. So until then, so let us see how the new model compares to the WF-C500 and WF-C700N.
