Sony and Olivia Rodrigo today announced the
release of LinkBuds S x Olivia Rodrigo designed and tuned in
collaboration with three-time GRAMMY®-winning, multi-Platinum-selling,
singer/songwriter Olivia
Rodrigo. Based off Sony’s LinkBuds S noise cancelling truly wireless
headphones, the new limited edition LinkBuds S x Olivia Rodrigo feature
Custom EQs (special equalizers) tuned by Olivia and her producer Daniel Nigro
for optimal listening of her albums GUTS and SOUR on any music
streaming service and come in a unique violet marble pattern styled by Olivia
and made with environmentally conscious materials. For more information and to

“I’m so excited that I got to design a
limited edition LinkBuds S in the colour violet. The sound is incredible, and I
can’t wait for my fans to experience GUTS in this way,” says Olivia.
“These headphones are meant to deliver a
listening experience that is a personal extension of Olivia Rodrigo’s creative
intent and unique sound,” says Hiroshi Nakamura, Head of Personal Entertainment
Business Unit, Sony Corporation. “As a company that puts creator vision over
everything, Sony aims to connect artists with their fans in innovative ways.
Olivia’s authenticity and commitment to her fanbase is one we wanted to honour
with this amazing LinkBuds S partnership.”
Listen Like Olivia with Her Custom EQ
The LinkBuds S x Olivia Rodrigo
includes two special equalizers customised for Olivia’s music that can be
accessed through the Sony | Headphones Connect app[i], allowing
fans to listen like Olivia.
Sustainability & Design
When designing the LinkBuds S x Olivia
Rodrigo, Olivia chose an environmentally conscious design using factory
recovered plastic, reclaimed water bottles, and recycled plastic materials from
automobile parts to create parts of the case and body of the headphones[ii]. Due to the
variation in material, the headphones host a violet marble pattern that causes
no two pairs of LinkBuds S x Olivia Rodrigo to be the same.
LinkBuds S Noise Cancelling and
High-Resolution Audio Wireless
Just like the LinkBuds S, the LinkBuds S x
Olivia Rodrigo feature noise cancelling, High-Resolution Audio Wireless, and
host an ultra-small and lightweight design so fans will be able to comfortably
listen to their favourite album all day long. Smart features such as Adaptive
Sound Control and Auto Play learn from the user’s behaviour and automatically
adjust sound settings to provide the right sound for the moment. The LinkBuds S
combines innovative ambient sound that lets the listener interact with the
world around them, with high-quality noise cancelling technology allowing them
to focus on their favourite track from Olivia and nothing else.
The LinkBuds S allow the listener to
experience High-Resolution Audio Wireless, thanks to Sony's industry-adopted
audio coding technology, LDAC[i]. All music
will be restored back to high range sound with the use of DSEE Extreme™ that
upscales digital music files in real time[ii], allowing the
listener to appreciate all the fine-details into their most-loved tracks.
