Review on 🎧 Surface Headphones by Microsoft by Chris Doe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great noise cancellation, great sound, looks silly

NOISE/SOUND: The floor above me creaks, music plays in the distance, dogs run around - the noise cancellation blocks it all really well. The sound is great, I've seen reviews saying the sound is inferior to the Bose and Sony equivalents, but I guarantee I won't be able to tell any noticeable difference between the two when testing this. COMFORT: They get really uncomfortable after about 1.5 hours of wearing them on my head, which is pretty bad for airplanes, but good for school work, I've found I only need a 5 minute rest after they start hurting, and then can i put them back on. Friends have Bose headphones and in my opinion they look very silly in comparison, but that's okay, I only see obvious design improvements. OTHER: The Cortana voice assistant app that came with these headphones is no longer supported by Android, so I don't think so. now there is voice control, maybe this is bypassed somehow. The pause touch on the side of the headphones sucks - you have to press harder than you think, and that pressure sounds really loud in your ears. There's also a small area on the front of the headphones that you can press on, I'm very wrong. The microphones are pretty good, better than the Airpods Pro, I go to meetings a lot, the battery is great, charges very quickly, the control buttons work very well, when I switch to maximum noise cancellation, there is a buzzing or "glitchy" sound Sounds like something is wrong but only lasts about 0.2 seconds, it's just an obvious bug that Microsoft hasn't bothered to address.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Protection
