Not the best, but great headphones for a reasonable price
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.

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.

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.
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022
My requirements for a bluetooth headset for work purposes were a lot more hard to meet than I thought they would be:

1. Straight bluetooth (ie., no dongle)
2. Mic Mute on-board the headset itself.
3. Multipoint (ideally, 3 connections inclusive of phone and both a Mac and Windows laptop), with an ability to manually switch.

I'd tried a variety of cheaper bluetooth headsets, as well as the Sony WH-1000MX4, and Bose 700s. The Sony didn't have a mute, on-bard, and the Bose doesn't switch or work well across multiple devices without the dongle (which Bose themselves say is often required).

These headphones knock it out of the park. I absolutely would recommend these for anyone in my similar situation. While you can't manually switch the inputs, it does a good job of auto-detect switching across OS X (MacBook Pro 2020), and MS Surface Book 3.. The rest of the controls are easy. The mute button is a bit buggy at times but generally works great. They don't sound as great or have as great noise cancellation as the Bose, but it's serviceably good and I use them every day. No dongle required. The battery life is great, and unlike both the Bose and the Sony these will charge as you use them. This was unexpected and a great feature.

When you add the much better price point of this headset over the Bose and Sony, it's not even a question. Again, I absolutely recommend.

I had the original headphones and loved them and then they broke. I ended up replacing them with Beats 3 headphones. They were ok I guess but they kept not connecting correctly to my Teams meetings. I decided to get the Surface headphones again since I loved them so much and the noise canceling was soooo much better. I would recommend these to anyone in an office setting that needs to cut out noise. The sound is clear and noise canceling is fantastic. Works great with Teams meetings and calls. It switches seamlessly between my phone and computer as well

Reviewed in Singapore on August 17, 2020
If you like a bassy sound, then this is not the pair of headphones for you. But if you prefer clear mids to high, then these are definitely worth considering!

Comfortable, good battery life and multi device pairing with intuitive scroll wheels for volume and noise-cancelling controls are a dream to use. Built quality is good as well, Microsoft knows how to make good lifestyle devices.

Overall, close alternative to the Sony’s 1000-xm3(looking to try out the new xm4) if you’re in the market for something different. Audiophiles may not like the sound quality but honestly, for everyone who is using their mobile listening to Spotify/iTunes/YT, these are more than decent to do the job..

5.0 out of 5 stars Un Delicia Auditiva
Reviewed in Mexico on June 27, 2022
Ya tenía unos Surface Headphones version original que compré en 2017 o 2018 y estaba muy contento con ellos, pero con el tiempo y el uso excesivo tuve problemas...el sudor me dañó los cojinetes de las orejeras y hace unos meses se quebró la diadema...pero los audífonos me duraron 4 o 5 años! Y con muy buena carga de batería (todavía me dan 14 horas de uso) y excelente sonido.
Estuve viendo muchas otras marcas y modelos, pero decidí comprarme la versión actualizada que tiene una batería mejorada (20 horas) y mejora en la fidelidad del audio. Seré más cuidadoso con mis audífonos...ya no me los pondré para hacer ejercicio (para eso ya me compré unos audífonos in-ear) y así evitaré el sudor en las almohadillas (que es lo que creo las daño).
Siento que estas almohadillas están mejores que las del modelo pasado y lo que creo que me gustó más es que el botón de encendido está ahora mucho más prominente que en la primera versión y es más fácil encenderlos o parear con Bluetooth.

Lo que más me gusta:
1. Que se pueden parear con VARIOS dispositivos por medio de Bluetooth, no solamente con uno. Los paree con mis 2 PCs y mi teléfono sin problemas.
2. Excelente alcance de Bluetooth. Mejor que cualquier otro dispositivo Bluetooth que tengo (bocinas, audífonos).
3. Excelente sistema de cancelación de ruido. Me permite concentrarme en mi trabajo sin que el ruido exterior me moleste.
4. Gran calidad de audio. He probado otros modelos y marcas (Sony, Sensehauser, SkullCandy, Bosé y Apple) y no he logrado discernir una diferencia significativa.
5. Los Controles son una maravilla: detener el audio, aumentar/disminuir el volumen o el nivel de cancelación del ruido exterior...uff! Fáciles de usar, intuitivos.
6. Excelentes Micrófonos integrados. Los uso a diario para Teams, Zoom, Google Meet y se me escucha bien, claro y los ruidos ambientales se reducen enormemente.
7. Los audífonos ahora pueden rotar hasta en 180 grados, antes a solo 90 grados.

Lo que no me gusta:
No puedo encontrar reemplazo de los cojinetes o de la diadema. Con repuestos estoy seguro podrían durar 10 años en excelentes condiciones.

4.0 out of 5 stars My surface headphone
Reviewed in Singapore on February 14, 2021
It is great to make calls and have all these virtual meetings. You can switch connections between phone and PC. But I will not rank it high in sound quality in music listening. The App for IPhone also has issues. It is very slow and keeps on freezing.

Buscaba audífonos de buena calidad de sonido y buen diseño y a un costo asequible y pude conseguir estos en color negro, además de un muy buen descuento, en cuanto al sonido me parecen muy buenos, los materiales se ven de buena calidad, y el diseño me gusto, la conectividad es muy buena y puedo enlazarlos a todos mis dispositivos

1.0 out of 5 stars Singapore warranty not covered
Reviewed in Singapore on October 11, 2021
Product is good, but apparently Singapore MS support does not support it.
After it broke, there is no way to repair it without shipping it back to a pickup location in the USA.
Might as well state no warranty
