Review: This time it's Microsoft for the win! - It's 2020, the year of USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0, sophisticated touch controls, aptX like codecs, multi-point connectivity, and of course the every improving "active" noise cancellation experimentations in high-end headphones. And just when I thought Bose would reign as the absolute supreme with NC700 with its build, touch controls, call quality, noise cancellation (Sony XM4 tad better in this department but sorry - too bass heavy for me), balanced sound stage (audiophiles, settle down, these are $250 consumer grade Bluetooth headsets, not your Planar or Grado, or tube amplifier driven Sennheiser), there came a pleasant surprise from...Microsoft!? The Surface Headphones 2 is an absolute joy to listen to and checks almost all the boxes for me. Priced at a modest $250, I am not going to say that there aren't other / better options out there, but this overall "package" from Microsoft really hit the spot for me, at least. The case: Absolute perfection. Slim profile, rugged, and looks very business-friendly. The headset: Big ears, rejoice! Perfect fit and roomy. Not too clamp heavy unless your head dimensions are inhuman. The cushion materials are very good but may attract oil / dust so best to keep them in the case when not in use, and it will need a mild wipe down every now and then. The build is solid otherwise. The controls: Absolutely amazing rotary dials and the touch controls are fine. There is a very handy mute button, too. Every once in a while they will not respond to my touch but once you kind of figure out what that touch surface likes (hint: fleshy part of your fingers - not nails), you'll be just fine. Another hint: if you want to skip to next (two taps) or previous (three taps), do those taps very quickly for them to register every single time. The sound quality: I do not believe in the concept of headphone burn-in, because let's face it, it's got almost nothing to do with the headset, but more your ears adjusting to the new headset's sound stage. A bad sounding headset is a bad sounding headset now and in a year from now. I believe in initial impression. As soon as I put these on and started my test track, it brought a smile to my face, just like its competition Bose (again, Sony XM4 was too bass heavy for me). An open, crisp, wide sound stage with very sufficient bass, and a little more emphasis on mid-frequencies, but overall very very pleasing. It is a keeper. About initial impressions, I recently I tested an AKG 371 BT and while a name brand, it was somewhat disappointing given its fit, form, and mainly sound quality as soon as the test track started, so back it went. The noise cancellation: The rotary dial is awesome for controlling noise cancellation and volume super quickly. Noise cancellation has max, medium, low, pass-through, and amplified surrounding settings, the last two great for phone calls that will require a bit of side tone (you hearing your own voice) that feels more natural. The noise cancellation is on par with Bose NC700, which is more than enough. Please do not expect either of these headsets (even XM4 for that matter) to fully drown out high pitched sounds. Noise cancellation works on low frequency continuous hum like jet engine noise and a little bit helpful for mid frequencies like reducing the harshness of people chatter. If you have a dog that barks or a baby that cries, that's on you, it's not the headset :) The call quality: Very good. No complaints unless you are taking calls standing at the top of the mountain with heavy wind or in heavy traffic. Even then, you can be heard but don't expect work meetings to go well in those situations. Moderately noisy coffee shop or home settings are perfectly fine for these. The connectivity: It's got Bluetooth 5, so its range shouldn't be an issue. No latency when watching videos. It also can connect to two devices simultaneously (say a phone and a tablet), and even if you are listening to your tablet, it'll stop whatever is playing if you get a phone call. Cool! Even Microsoft Windows 10, with its atrocious Bluetooth management, connects to this seamlessly (it'd have been shameful if it didn't). The app is OK - nothing to write home about. If you have a Windows 10 machine for work and need something that's not Jabra or Plantronics, this is highly recommended. TL;DR: This is a very 2020 generation headphone with USB-C and Bluetooth 5.0. Get it if you don't want Jabra or Plantronics for your Windows 10 ecosystem. Great call quality but won't cancel heavy winds, great sound stage with sufficient emphasis on bass, comfortable fit for big ears but may not be for overly large heads, excellent controls, case and the headset built-to-last, multi-point connectivity is A-OK, the app is alright. Side Note: Only if you have small / mid-size ears (e.g. if the original AirPods fit you very well), and do not care about noise cancellation, you may want to try Surface Buds. They didn't stay in my ears at all, so back they went.
Review: Great daily use and takes abuse - I have a pair for work and for home. I bought the work pair somewhere about 1.5 years ago. I don't treat my equipment gently at times and this headset has taken some abuse over the course of the time I've had it. Finally the head piece broke in half - probably from too much stretching. The leather on the ear piece is peeling off leaving the foam exposed - however this thing still cranks, and still works just fine. It's great audio quality for a daily spotify or casual gaming. Works well enough for Teams and Zoom meetings, however, there's a lack of environment cancellation into the call itself. I will say that the noise cancellation works perfectly. It worked quite well for a 10+ hour flight and I couldn't hear a thing other than my Civ game on my laptop. Couple of quirks - Audio quality dips into some "conference call mode" or something where the audio enhances people speaking. I'm not sure what this mode is or what to call it, I still haven't figured out how to disable it. Sometimes you have to disconnect and reconnect in Windows Settings. Occasionally un-pair and re-pair the device. Sometimes it connects but won't switch the sound output to the headset (This could be a Windows issue, I don' have this problem with my phone). Overall, I'll continue to buy this headset!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many devices can Surface Headphones 2 pair with?**
A: Surface Headphones 2 can pair with up to 8 devices, so you can easily switch between your phone and computer.

**Q: Can I use one earbud at the time ?**
A: Yes, i have done that multiple times.  I do find that on occasion you have to take the second earbud out of the case to get it to connect to your device.  also know if you use the earbud control functions you would only have the controls for the earbud you have in place.  i dont find this to be a major problem for me.

**Q: Is this worth buying?**
A: Not for the price they have it at.  The Surface Buds are good headphones but already very dated and can be uncomfortable. I brought these and quickly switched back to my galaxy Buds 2 and beats Fit pro headphones.

**Q: Do the headphones come with a bluetooth adaptor to connect to a PC?**
A: They are bluetooth headphones so it's built it. They can connect to 2 devices at the same time. So you can be bluetooth connected to a phone and to a laptop. If your PC is not bluetooth capable you will need to add that to your PC.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love at first note (exchanged)
*by W***N on December 29, 2020*

Update 1/27/21: a little over a month of use with the surface 2’s and I’m noticing a significant drop in battery life. At first Cortona would tell me 17 hours remaining but the past week or so that full charge notice went from 16 hours to 15 hours. I’m not sure why the battery life after being charged overnight has dropped that much especially within the first year of use. I am doing an exchange and hopefully the replacement works much better in terms of battery life. Have to drop at least a star for now. 4 1/2 stars! I’ve never been compelled to write a review within hours of receiving and owning a product but these surface 2’s made my day! I was leery of buying them b/c I never tried them on and comfort is so much about the headphone experience. Having tried on Sony, Bose, Sennheiser etc I knew what was and what was not comfortable for me. I ran the entire gamut and took months to make this decision but something about the Surface 2’s kept calling me. I am glad I bought them b/c they met all of my expectations w/ literally 2 absolutely minor caveats. Pros: absolutely comfortable. They are truly over the ear headphones w/ generous space avoiding pinching or clamping down on any part of my ears. My ears are encompassed in a perfect audio blanket. They do not make my ears hot after hours of wearing them. Zero jaw pressure and crown pinch. The form is perfect for me. Audio is great. Noise cancellation is amazing but not as good as the Sony xm4’s. It’s literally a photo finish race and the xm4’s outperformed the surface 2’s. I’m not an audiophile but I felt like I was hearing new notes and peaks w/ my music while wearing the surface 2’s. The xm4’s have better sound but I’m not complaining. Call quality is fine. Ppl can hear me just fine and I can hear them, no complaints at all. I love the ability to switch b/w two devices. So while editing on my Mac I can seamlessly transition to my iPhone and take that call and go back to work on my Mac after hanging up. The dials on these are also such a huge plus. I love power authority on volume and noise cancellation. I don’t want to go to my phone or into an app to make an adjustment. A simple turn on either side and I’m good to go. I think that’s the feature that pulled me towards the surface 2’s. No app and the ability to adjust volume and most importantly noise cancellation with a simple turn is what sold me. Look is unique and my partner says it’s awkwardly beautiful and I agree with her. The gray is pristine, I have some worry that wear will show easier but I’m tired of white and black as the only options. Cons: 18.5 hour battery life is advertised but I can only get 17. I know that’s not much but I’m left wondering why? Not a deal breaker by any means. The touch controls can be better. Tap, double tap, triple tap... not as accurate and reliable as I’d like but again not a deal breaker. Those are my only two knocks on these surface 2’s but my partner did mention one that I don’t really agree with. She says they feel flimsy. I can see what she is saying but having each cup spin 180 is great for storage. Oh and the case provided is solid! She also mentioned a slight delay in response time w/ audio commands but I don’t care too much about a second or two. I hit the lotto with these. Love them, can’t put them down and I don’t want to share lol Price is ok, I was hoping to see a sale w/ it being the holidays but I’m so happy w/ them I am cool with $250. I waited a long long time to get noise canceling headphones and I hit a grand slam on my first try!
