The Sony LinkBuds S just dropped to Dhs 299 at Jumbo, down from Dhs 499, and this is actually a solid deal. I've been tracking these for a while and they don't usually go below Dhs 350, so getting them at under 300 is worth paying attention to.
These are the ones with proper noise cancelling — not the weird open-ear LinkBuds, but the regular in-ear version that actually blocks sound. For anyone who's been dealing with cheaper earbuds that die after two hours or don't cancel noise properly, these fix both problems.
Key stuff worth knowing:
- 20-hour battery life — includes the case, but even just the buds last around 6 hours which is decent
- Actual noise cancelling — not just marketing speak, these genuinely block out background noise
- Adaptive sound control — automatically adjusts based on what you're doing, which sounds gimmicky but actually works pretty well
The catch: these are the older LinkBuds S, not the newest model Sony just released. Honestly though, unless you're an audiophile, the differences aren't huge — mostly just slightly better call quality on the newer ones. At this price gap, the older version makes way more sense.
If you've been putting off upgrading your earbuds because of the price, this makes it easier. Looking for more options? Check out our best headphones under 500 AED guide for other solid picks. Worth grabbing if you need reliable earbuds with good battery life; fine to skip if your current ones are working okay.
