How to Find Your Lost Sony LinkBuds S in Minutes
Losing your $198 LinkBuds S is stressful. But if they still have battery, they're broadcasting an invisible Bluetooth Low Energy signal right now. EarBuddy turns your phone into a radar that can detect that signal and guide you straight to them.
Why Headphones Connect Isn't Enough
Sony's Headphones Connect app has no locate or find feature for LinkBuds S. You can only play a sound when actively connected.
How EarBuddy Finds Your LinkBuds S
Because Sony uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.2), your LinkBuds S constantly broadcasts a short-range signal — even when disconnected. EarBuddy scans for this signal and shows you real-time signal strength on a radar display, guiding you physically to the device.
Open EarBuddy and begin scanning.
