Sony&#8217;s inclusion of fitting cushions is ideal for people like me who shy away from clip-on earbuds due to poor fit, which often diminishes the listening experience and causes discomfort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, these cushions are included with your purchase, similar to the eartip replacements for in-canal earbuds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/sony-linkbuds-clip-vs-bose-ultra-open\/\">Sony LinkBuds Clip vs. Bose Ultra Open<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t seen third-party products that address the same issue as Sony&#8217;s fitting cushions, and people with ear anatomy that&#8217;s well-suited to clip-on earbuds won&#8217;t need them. However, if clip-on earbuds feel heavy, pinch your ears, or cause pressure after a few minutes of wear, these can enhance your experience across the board. Here&#8217;s how.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the design is brilliant<\/h2>\n<p>I hardly ever wear clip-on earbuds because after a few minutes, I start to feel uncomfortable amounts of pressure; I assume I don&#8217;t have the ear anatomy ideal for this style of earbuds, so I stick with my AirPods. After fitting my LinkBuds Clip with the included cushions, the gap between the earbuds&#8217; hooks and my ear closed, allowing the earbuds to clip onto a sturdier part of my ear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/sony-linkbuds-clip-earbuds-review\/\" alt=\"Sony LinkBuds Clip in Greige\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Jada Jones\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sony&#8217;s clip-on earbuds aren&#8217;t fundamentally different from competitors; they all use stiffer materials in the hinges to achieve a one-size-fits-all form factor. For the unlucky few like myself, this form factor leads to ear fatigue and soreness, which was easily rectified with the fitting cushions. Instead of the earbuds relying solely on your concha for support, the cushions engage your helix as an additional support anchor.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, I can see myself wearing these earbuds for most of my workday, which wasn&#8217;t possible with the competing models I&#8217;ve tested.<\/p>\n<h2>How it translates to audio performance<\/h2>\n<p>Aside from physical discomfort, a poor fit can negatively affect your audio quality and voice pickup when making phone calls. A stable fit is even more imperative for people who gravitate toward clip-on earbuds for exercise, as sharp, vigorous movement can easily disrupt the fit you want.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/shokzs-open-earbuds-ces-2026\/\">Shokz&#8217;s latest earbuds have a unique trick that puts them above the OpenRun for me<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your experience with clip-on earbuds relies more on fit than you&#8217;d think, as this style of earbuds is highly directional, and slight shifts in fit can change how sound is delivered to your ears. Fitting the cushions kept the LinkBuds Clip more stable on my ear, reducing the chance the speaker would move and keeping my audio experience more consistent.<\/p>\n<h2>My verdict<\/h2>\n<p>Sony&#8217;s ear fitting cushions dramatically changed how I feel about clip-on earbuds. Instead of anticipating soreness and less-than-ideal audio quality, this quick fix showed me why people are so hyped about this style of earbud. In hindsight, fitting cushions seem like an obvious accessory for manufacturers to consider, so I hope more brands follow Sony&#8217;s lead here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/your-sony-headphones-just-got-a-useful-bluetooth-upgrade-with-the-latest-software-patch\/\">Your Sony headphones just got a useful Bluetooth upgrade with the latest software patch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clip-on earbuds are becoming wildly popular, and Sony&#8217;s entrance into the market further solidifies that popularity. However, a universal approach to form factor can isolate consumers with ears that lead to misalignments, and Sony helps with this issue at the point of purchase.
