Convenience features

 Learn how the Wide Area Tap, Quick Access, Auto Play, Voice Control, and Head Gesture functions work.

Wide Area Tap
Simply tap near the ear

Wide Area Tap allows you to control the earbuds by double or triple tapping on the area in front of the earbuds, rather than on the earbuds themselves.

Quick Access

With Quick Access, you can configure your LinkBuds Fit to resume Spotify music playback or Endel personalised soundscapes with two or three taps – no need to touch your smartphone.

In the "System" menu, find the "Quick Access" setting. Select the cog icon to adjust what the Quick Access button does. E.g. Tap three times to resume Spotify.​

Auto Play
Seamless music and audio notifications

Auto Play delivers music and audio notifications just when you need them. You can set music to play at your preferred timings, such as when you're putting your headphones on or going for running.

The Auto Play feature is now accessed via the Sound Connect app. Simply link with Spotify, Endel, or other music apps to get your favourite music and relaxing soundscapes.

Head Gesture
Control headphones with head gestures

With LinkBuds Fit, you can control certain operations using natural head gestures, such as receiving or declining calls, or operating Auto Play, by nodding or shaking your head.

Go to the "System" menu of the Sound Connect app to calibrate this feature upon first use.
