Microsoft had a jam-packed event today, announcing the Surface Studio 2, Surface Laptop 2, and Surface Pro 6. But it had one more major hardware product to reveal: The $349 Surface Headphones. The company is particularly proud of its headphones\u2018 noise canceling capabilities.<\/h5><\/div>\n\n

At its most powerful, the headphones can attenuate sound up to 40 dB. Turn the dial all the way around, and they actually provide a slight boost to ambient sound to better hear your environment \u2013 say, if you want to listen to music and still be aware of your surroundings.<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Another four beam-forming microphones handle your voice during calls \u2013 Cortana is on board as well \u2013 while a dial on the opposite earcup controls volume. The cups are also touch sensitive for playback control. As for battery, the headphones are rated for 15 hours with Bluetooth and noise cancelling on. There\u2019s a USB-C port for charging and a 3.5mm jack should the battery run out.<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Hopefully all these fancy features translate to sound worth their price tag. Microsoft is using 40mm drivers \u2018Free Edge\u2019 drivers \u2013 relatively rare in the headphone world \u2013 but I\u2019m concerned with the lack of any audiophile-oriented Bluetooth codecs. There\u2019s no AptX, AAC, or LDAC, at least one of which I expect standard on $349 headphones.
