Can I use the LinkBuds Speaker without LinkBuds earbuds?
Yes. While the LinkBuds Speaker is designed to integrate seamlessly with LinkBuds and 1000X-series headphones through features like Auto Switch, it also works as a standalone Bluetooth 5.2 speaker with other compatible devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Yes. With the cap securely closed, the speaker has an IPX4 water-resistance rating, meaning it's protected against splashes from any direction, making it suitable for use in places like kitchens or near sinks. The USB connector is not water resistant, so avoid exposing it to water while charging.

Yes. A single LinkBuds Speaker plays in mono, but you can pair two compatible units together for a left/right stereo setup and a wider soundstage.

It uses an X-Balanced Speaker Unit woofer for stronger bass, a dedicated tweeter for clearer vocals, dual passive radiators for low-end impact, and Sony's Sound Diffusion Processor to spread sound evenly throughout a room.

Yes. The speaker is designed for hands-free calling with a top-mounted, acoustically isolated microphone and echo cancellation, and Sony notes it offers best-in-class call quality among its wireless speakers.

The Quick Access button offers one-touch listening, letting you start your favorite music or streaming service directly from the speaker without touching your phone. Its actions can be customized through the Sony Sound Connect app.
