Aside from introducing multipoint support for some of its wireless earbuds, Sony also has a couple of new LinkBuds. One is the LinkBuds UC for Teams, a US$250 (around CA$338) pair of earbuds certified for Microsoft Teams. They come with a USB dongle to let you map Teams actions (like muting or raising a hand) to the earbud controls. It will be available this winter.
Now, if you want something similar to the LinkBuds S, there's this new option Sony says is made from "recycled water bottles materials." These LinkBuds S earbuds retail for US$200 (~CA$271) and will be available at the end of this month. According to the company's press release, "Parts of the body and case of LinkBuds S in Earth Blue are made from recycled water bottle materials which creates a unique, one-of-a-kind marble pattern." Each set will sport a slightly different pattern and outer finish. We don't know how much of these earbuds are made with this environmentally-friendly material, and Sony won't disclose the information. But if you like the design, it might be worth considering.
