New Microsoft Surface Headphones 2 - Matte Black

Great headphones, comfortable and easy to use the knobs on the side for volume. Noise cancellation is great and you can easily turn to the level to what you want. The biggest reason I bought these was for conference calls while working from home. My wife works night and they are great for her not having to her my meetings. Microphone on calls is great, no complaints on clarity. The headphones do go on mute easily. I find myself bumping it when I stretch. Also I find the tactile touch be activated randomly and pausing music when I do not want it too. My only other comment is the announcement of battery life, not complaining about the actual battery life. Headphones last over a full day of work worth of meeting. It is just when I put them on, I get a random numbers of hours left announcement which is usually double of what it actually is. Over all great headphones with 3 little annoying features. I would buy again.

Got these because the sound quality is good and the noise cancellation is good, but mainly for the looks. These headphones have such a nice design and feel great to hold. They're comfortable and media control is so easy with the dials and touch sensitive sides. The auto play/pause when taking headphones off works well and as expected. Sound is great ones you change the EQ settings. Stock settings arent very good. Noise cancellation is great but only problem is that you cant turn it off. I find that i dont want noise cancellation most of the time and i have it at the lowest setting possible because any lower and it turns on ambient sound mode which sounds weird and its kinda useless as it doesnt work very well. I usually just have one ear not covered if i want to hear someone. Anyways these headphones are great.

To put this review into context, I am not an audiophile and the only thing I can compare it to are the AirPods Pro that I’ve been using since they came out. I was using the AirPods Pro every single day at work and commute so I wanted a pair of noise canceling headphones to use only at work not to burn out my AirPods Pro too quickly. Cons: - disappointed by the sound out of the box. I got it close to the sound I’m used to by giving it a gentle V EQ with the app (using the "classical" EQ, and bumping slightly the lows and low mids to match the other side). I got a better sound too forcing my iMac to use Aptx, but still I feel that my AirPods Pro have more headroom, punch and definition. However I got used to the difference after a few hours of use - noise candelation: i feel it does a better job that the AirPods Pro reducing constant and low sounds, However it is worse for very high sounds. Without music, I can hear the mouse clicks around me just like without ANC, which is disappointing for a product tailored for open office use. The transparency mode is also not as "true" as the AirPods Pro and the ambiant sound boost is just horrible. - comfort: I get a little pain on the top of my head after an hour of use or so - other defaults: multi pairing doesn’t work for me. I get cracking and disconnecting sounds whenever I play something in the same time with my phone. There seems to be digital cracking sounds whenever I adjust the noise canceling levels. Pros: - the dials and the design. These are the real pros but the reason why I got them at the first place. I’m a designer myself and I appreciate when companies make minimal, well thought out and very intuitive products. And that sold it to me. - the price: with all these cons, I’m happy that Microsoft reduced the price of these. It makes much more sense, even though I would have preferred keeping the original price while fixing these problems for a second generation. To conclude: I bought these headphones mainly for their design and controls. And these headphones are great for the price. I would only consider selling them if the rumored new Apple headphones have amazing sound, noise cancelation and comfort. If not, I’ll be more than happy to keep using them at work.

Sound quality is good. Comfortable to wear. Comes wireless with option to use audio cable. Intuitive design with the rotating bezels and touch control. The battery charge lasts a long time.

Sounds amazing, is lightweight and comfortable, and the noise cancelation is much better than the previous model. If there is an issue with connectivity, check if your phone's name is long or has special characters. For some reason they didn't connect when my phone name was long.

Had them for two years. The control scheme is so far and away better than any other headphones I’ve ever worn. Still work fine even with dust and rain hitting them.

If you like a bassy sound, then this is not the pair of headphones for you. But if you prefer clear mids to high, then these are definitely worth considering! Comfortable, good battery life and multi device pairing with intuitive scroll wheels for volume and noise-cancelling controls are a dream to use. Built quality is good as well, Microsoft knows how to make good lifestyle devices. Overall, close alternative to the Sony’s 1000-xm3(looking to try out the new xm4) if you’re in the market for something different. Audiophiles may not like the sound quality but honestly, for everyone who is using their mobile listening to Spotify/iTunes/YT, these are more than decent to do the job..

Ya tenía unos Surface Headphones version original que compré en 2017 o 2018 y estaba muy contento con ellos, pero con el tiempo y el uso excesivo tuve problemas...el sudor me dañó los cojinetes de las orejeras y hace unos meses se quebró la diadema...pero los audífonos me duraron 4 o 5 años! Y con muy buena carga de batería (todavía me dan 14 horas de uso) y excelente sonido. Estuve viendo muchas otras marcas y modelos, pero decidí comprarme la versión actualizada que tiene una batería mejorada (20 horas) y mejora en la fidelidad del audio. Seré más cuidadoso con mis audífonos...ya no me los pondré para hacer ejercicio (para eso ya me compré unos audífonos in-ear) y así evitaré el sudor en las almohadillas (que es lo que creo las daño). Siento que estas almohadillas están mejores que las del modelo pasado y lo que creo que me gustó más es que el botón de encendido está ahora mucho más prominente que en la primera versión y es más fácil encenderlos o parear con Bluetooth. Lo que más me gusta: 1. Que se pueden parear con VARIOS dispositivos por medio de Bluetooth, no solamente con uno. Los paree con mis 2 PCs y mi teléfono sin problemas. 2. Excelente alcance de Bluetooth. Mejor que cualquier otro dispositivo Bluetooth que tengo (bocinas, audífonos). 3. Excelente sistema de cancelación de ruido. Me permite concentrarme en mi trabajo sin que el ruido exterior me moleste. 4. Gran calidad de audio. He probado otros modelos y marcas (Sony, Sensehauser, SkullCandy, Bosé y Apple) y no he logrado discernir una diferencia significativa. 5. Los Controles son una maravilla: detener el audio, aumentar/disminuir el volumen o el nivel de cancelación del ruido exterior...uff! Fáciles de usar, intuitivos. 6. Excelentes Micrófonos integrados. Los uso a diario para Teams, Zoom, Google Meet y se me escucha bien, claro y los ruidos ambientales se reducen enormemente. 7. Los audífonos ahora pueden rotar hasta en 180 grados, antes a solo 90 grados. Lo que no me gusta: No puedo encontrar reemplazo de los cojinetes o de la diadema. Con repuestos estoy seguro podrían durar 10 años en excelentes condiciones.

It is great to make calls and have all these virtual meetings. You can switch connections between phone and PC. But I will not rank it high in sound quality in music listening. The App for IPhone also has issues. It is very slow and keeps on freezing.

Product is good, but apparently Singapore MS support does not support it. After it broke, there is no way to repair it without shipping it back to a pickup location in the USA. Might as well state no warranty
