Our Verdict

Sony LinkBuds S Truly Wireless

Beats Studio Buds + True Wireless

While the Beats Studio Buds + True Wireless and the Sony LinkBuds S Truly Wireless are similar in-ears, the Sony are better in a few respects. First, the Sony's ANC does a better job blocking out the sound of nearby conversations and AC hum. Secondly, their companion app has a graphic EQ and presets for customizing your sound. On the other hand, the Beats have a better mic and a brighter treble response by default, which you may prefer.
