Now coming in two colours, Light Gray and Matte Black, with circular earcups holding soft and comfortable padding. There&#8217;s a new mute microphone button, while the two rings surrounding the cups dial volume on the right and give you 13 levels of ANC control on the left. This allows you to quickly let in or block out ambient noise. Tapping the cups will play\/pause your music, while a swipe forwards or backwards will skip. These methods of adjustments and controlling music are intuitive and well implemented. The Active Noise Cancellation on this pair are close to the competitors, perhaps just falling short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"909\" src=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61v5xP47SbL._AC_SL1500_-700x909.jpg\" alt=\"Surface Headphones 2 Light Gray\" data-id=\"83879\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61v5xP47SbL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/new-microsoft-surface-headphones-2-review\/61v5xp47sbl-_ac_sl1500_-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-83879 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61v5xP47SbL._AC_SL1500_-700x909.jpg 700w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61v5xP47SbL._AC_SL1500_-346x450.jpg 346w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61v5xP47SbL._AC_SL1500_-768x998.jpg 768w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61v5xP47SbL._AC_SL1500_-800x1039.jpg 800w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61v5xP47SbL._AC_SL1500_.jpg 843w\" sizes=\"auto\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"912\" src=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61WQSvgxsHL._AC_SL1500_-700x912.jpg\" alt=\"Surface Headphones 2 Matte Black\" data-id=\"83880\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61WQSvgxsHL._AC_SL1500_.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/new-microsoft-surface-headphones-2-review\/61wqsvgxshl-_ac_sl1500_-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-83880 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61WQSvgxsHL._AC_SL1500_-700x912.jpg 700w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61WQSvgxsHL._AC_SL1500_-345x450.jpg 345w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61WQSvgxsHL._AC_SL1500_-768x1000.jpg 768w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61WQSvgxsHL._AC_SL1500_-800x1042.jpg 800w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/61WQSvgxsHL._AC_SL1500_.jpg 843w\" sizes=\"auto\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound quality is similarly up there with the greats in this category, again just shy of Sony and Bose. Microsoft provide a loud and well balanced sound, with EQ adjustments accessible in the Surface app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wireless bluetooth headphones also feature improved battery life up to 20 hours, USB-C with fast charging, a headphone jack for wired audio, a microphone for phone calls, built-in Cortana improvements (including battery life announcements when turning on), and multiple device support for quick and easy switching between phone and laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a style=\"user-select: auto;\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2zeuUjU\">The Surface Headphones are available today on Amazon for $249.99.<\/a> This is a fantastic starting price and $100 cheaper than the previous generation and most other similar headphones&#8217; RRP. With the fantastic design and controls, this makes Surface one of the best value pairs we&#8217;ve seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"btn-wrapper\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2zeuUjU\" class=\"btn-image\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n    .btn-wrapper {\n        display: block;\n        width: 100%;\n        text-align: center;\n        margin-bottom: 2rem;\n    }\n    .btn-image {\n        width: 222px;\n        height: 39px;\n        display: inline-block;\n        text-decoration: none;\n        background-size: cover;\n        background-position: 0 0;\n        background-repeat: no-repeat;\n        background-image: url('http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buy-Button-sprite.png');\n    }\n    .btn-image:hover {\n        background-position: 0 -39px;\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, the Sony&#8217;s have been around for a couple of years now, so can be found around the same $250 price.
