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.

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.

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.

Work well with surface computer, samsung smart tv , ang ultra 24 phone

I’m a community college student majoring in Automotive Technology. Whether I am in the classroom inside the shop or in the college cafeteria, with maximum cancellation on I can’t hear a peep. I really love the dual connection as well. I use a surface go 1 and an iPhone X and have no problem seamlessly changing between devices. The dials on each side of the headphone (left adjusts noise cancellation, right volume) is incredibly useful as well. I’ve noticed I’ve been breaking focus less adjusting volume with my headphones instead of buttons or keys.

The sound quality is great, the noise cancellation sometimes did weird things but was good when it worked. But the left ear stopped working before 9 months and the supplier hasn't returned any of my emails regarding a replacement or help with fixing them. Since I'm outside the USA Microsoft couldn't help me with the warranty, they said I had to go through the supplier, which I couldn't get ahold of.I recommend not buying them from this supplier, a better choice would be directly from Microsoft in case of a break. If you're looking for a good headset in this price range I recommend the Sony XM3 or XM4
