Microsoft Introduces Surface Headphones 2 and Surface Earbuds

In a surprise announcement, Microsoft anticipated the launch of four new Surface hardware products, including a new version of the Surface Headphones - the over-ear design with ANC, unveiled in 2018 and very discretely launched in 2019 - and the launch of the promised true wireless Surface Earbuds. Obviously, the new Surface Headphones 2 and the Surface Earbuds are intended to "complete Microsoft's Surface experience, helping users to find focus wherever they are and stay connected."

Microsoft announced a new raft of hardware products, where it surprised the market with the introduction of its first "premium and smart" headphones. The new Microsoft Surface Bluetooth noise-cancelling headphones are designed to complement the company's latest range of Surface computers, highlighting the integration with Windows 10 services and experiences. If that strategy will appeal to consumers or not that's a big question, but there's no doubt that the Surface Headphones are well-designed and combine an interesting set of unique features.

On Wednesday, October 26, Microsoft made a series of impressive announcements, revealing ambitious plans to make its Windows 10 ecosystem more attractive to creative professionals, announcing the Windows 10 Creators Update and a series of impressive new hardware options. Microsoft introduced the new Surface Studio all-in-one desktop PC, designed to turn the desk into a creative studio, with an impressive 28” 4K touch-screen display, working in tandem with the also-new Surface Dial programmable knob.
