Sony Electronics Inc. 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-canceling 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 factory-recovered plastic and reclaimed water bottles.
“I’m so excited that I got to design a limited edition LinkBuds S in the color 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 honor with this amazing LinkBuds S partnership.”
Listen Like Olivia with Her Custom EQ
The LinkBuds S x Olivia Rodrigo includes two special equalizers customized for Olivia’s music that can be accessed through the Sony|Headphones Connect app, 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. 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-Canceling and High-Resolution Audio Wireless
Just like the LinkBuds S, the LinkBuds S x Olivia Rodrigo feature noise-canceling, High-Resolution Audio Wireless, and host an ultra-small and lightweight design so fans will be able to comfortably listen to their favorite album all day long. Smart features such as Adaptive Sound Control and Auto Play senses the user’s behavior 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-canceling technology allowing them to focus on their favorite 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. All music will be restored back to high-range sound with the use of DSEE Extreme™ that upscales digital music files in real time, allowing the listener to appreciate all the fine details in their most-loved tracks.
