Compatibility and connection

LinkBuds Open pair with most Bluetooth-enabled Chromebooks, tablets, laptops, and phones. Multipoint Bluetooth allows easy switching between a school device and a personal device. The Sony Sound Connect app (iOS/Android) enables EQ tuning, control settings, and firmware updates.

Best use cases

• Collaborative classrooms and supervised study where awareness is important
• 1:1 and take-home device programs needing lightweight wireless audio
• Libraries/media centers where students should hear their surroundings
• Virtual learning and phone/video calls on the go

Classroom notes

• No active noise canceling: This model prioritizes awareness over isolation—choose ANC models if maximum focus is required.
• Sound leakage: Because the earbuds are open-air, nearby people may hear faint audio at higher volumes.
• Wireless management: Best for 1:1 or take-home use; wired headsets are often simpler for shared classroom carts.
