Sony LinkBuds Open (WF-L910) Price in Nepal
Full specifications
Editor’s review
- Open-ring design is a genuine safety feature on Nepal's roads — walking through Thamel, crossing Kathmandu ring roads, or cycling, you can hear approaching traffic, people calling out, and horns clearly while still listening to music or taking calls. Traditional ANC earbuds that block your ears are a real hazard in Nepal's chaotic traffic.
- LC3 codec support (the Bluetooth LE Audio standard codec) future-proofs the earbuds for next-generation Bluetooth devices, though current Nepal market devices rarely use it in practice yet.
- 3 minutes of charging for 60 minutes of playback is one of the fastest quick-charge rates in this price range — extremely useful during Nepal's frequent load-shedding periods when you have a short charging window.
- Wide-area tap gesture lets you control the earbuds by tapping anywhere on your face, head, or neck — useful when your hands are occupied, wearing gloves, or when the buds are too small to tap precisely.

Frequently asked questions
Yes u2014 the multi-mic AI ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) is designed to reduce wind and road noise from the microphone side (the side sending your voice to callers), while the open ring lets you hear traffic around you. This makes them genuinely suitable for taking calls while commuting, which most closed ANC earbuds handle poorly.
LC3 is the codec for Bluetooth LE Audio, which is part of Bluetooth 5.2 and later. Most smartphones in Nepal as of 2026 do not yet fully utilise LE Audio u2014 AAC or SBC is what you will actually use. LC3 support is future-proofing for when LE Audio becomes more widely implemented.
Open-ring earbuds produce less bass than closed in-ear designs because the open ring allows low frequencies to escape rather than being directed into your ear canal. Sony has tuned the WF-L910 to compensate as much as possible, but if you like heavy bass, you will miss the punch you get from sealed-fit earbuds. The trade-off is natural sound imaging and full awareness of your environment.
