Rumours were circulating about Microsoft’s new Surface lineup for 2019. Insiders have been claiming that there would be dual-display devices joining the annual product refresh. Surely enough, at the big reveal, the Surface Neo and Surface Duo made a huge impact. People can’t seem to stop talking about the two upcoming gadgets slated for release next year. However, another surprise reveal was a pair of true wireless earphones. The Surface Earbuds is a premium audio device designed to blend with other Surface products.
The form factor is simple, but stylish, nonetheless. We noticed that Microsoft intentionally gave it a large flat area for a particular purpose. The touch-sensitive area responds to tap, touch, swipe, and other gestures to control the playback. According to the manufacturer, the audio-quality and precision-tuning of its custom drivers will even impress audiophiles. Meanwhile, the dual-microphone layout on each earbud offers superior call quality and voice recognition.
Despite being its first attempt with true-wireless technology, Microsoft seems to be getting everything right. The company claims users can keep the Surface Earbuds on longer than others. The ergonomic shape of the devices should make it feel non-intrusive to our ears. However, the large circular touch area could make it look too big on some individuals.
As expected with most Surface devices, it features some cool functions that allow you to interact with Microsoft Office applications. A swipe of your finger can move through slides in PowerPoint and so much more. The Surface Earbuds come with a charging case to give it a 24-hour boost on top of the 8-hour battery life. It will carry a retail price of $249 and will be available soon.
