Sony LinkBuds Truly Wireless

The Sony LinkBuds Truly Wireless are disappointing for commute and travel if you want headphones with good noise isolation. By design, they block out virtually no noise, meaning it may be hard to hear your music over the sound of rumbling bus and plane engines. That said, they have very small, portable design. If you walk to work, you may like that they let you hear ambient sound. They also work with Microsoft Soundscape, which is intended to help you navigate your surroundings with audio cues, which could be helpful in unfamiliar places. Unfortunately, whether or not you get a good fit depends on the shape of your ears, and they aren't comfortable or stable for everyone. Their six-hour battery life is also a bit short for long flights, but they come with a case that holds a couple of extra charges.
