I bought these for my evening walk with my dog. Perfect for listening to audiobooks! Probably my most used buds lol.

same here
- most used by far. absolutely unexpected at the beginning.my most used too
It's my only Sony wireless set. With the issues I've got just having this in my pocket, I'm wondering if the Sony app's Sound quality vs Stable connection setting even does anything with the Linkbuds? Is this only actually an adjustment for their sets that have LDAC? I can see in my phone's developer settings that I am using AAC on both options. I don't know if the bitrate is affected (not sure what, if anything, could tell me that, and haven't listened super close to try and compare). But it doesn't really seem to matter which is picked, when it comes to putting my phone in my pocket. Might fart around by changing to SBC in developer options and see what that does. Eventually.
for what it's worth I'm pretty short and slender lol

exactly. It's an app built for many sets. If the product can't do LDAC, is there even any effect for that toggle? I thought it might knock it down to SBC but it doesn't. When I take time to look closer I'll post any findings.
So far my research finds that denim, wind, and working in an industrial park were not helping my signal.
Setting the quality option to "Priority on Stable Connection" seems to help the connection marginally. Does anyone hear a big difference? I haven't used this mode for long yet. Will do some closer listening soon.
Also this is a great app to use on Android if you use these things with other devices too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tom.bluetoothDevicesWidget
ETA: the app clearly shows you details of the connected device's "Bluetooth Audio Codec", which in both priority modes is AAC, 44100 Hz, 16 bit.

New multipoint capability is out, from firmware + app update. Working great here so far.
Noticed some new bits on the app: the options for "Bluetooth Connection Quality" read:
Plus above the photo of the buds is now a live codec indicator (which, when used with multipoint tells you what codec the other device is using - handy). Given that both quality options use AAC on my phone (same as before), I'm thinking this setting doesn't matter to the Linkbuds, on an AAC capable Android anyways.
Reception might be overall improved. Haven't been outside much yet. Getting cold

My LinkBuds successfully updated after downloading and installing the firmware x2. After the first time my version was 0.0.0, so did the download a 2nd time and it updated to v2.0.2.

Thanks. Going to wait for some reports on this one. I noticed there was a firmware between releases available in North America, 2.1.3, that shortened battery life as a battery longevity measure. So is that included here? And is that a good thing?
Which EQ do you all like?

I leave it default mode and use it mainly for lofi music (when working on issues where i need focus) or listen to podcasts / watch youtube videos etc. - default is here very good.

even as the youtuber flossy has tons of TWSs, he wears all day long the linkbuds - like me
it is simply great for podcasts, audiobooks, youtube videos... and when it comes to music, i like to use them for study / focus music like lofi in the office.
