PROS:
- Very comfortable. I have average-sized ears, and these fit over my ears like a glove. The ear cups are shaped such that your ears fit "inside" the cup padding, and the padding is tight against my head without interfering with the shape of my ears. I initially felt some issues with the headband - I was worried that it would give me that lingering head pain that I've experienced with inferior headsets. But that never materialized, and now they just feel good.
- The sound cancellation is great. Enough that background noise doesn't interfere. I can't really say much more about this; it just works. If you're looking for absolutely no sound, this ain't it. But for a conventional home office room, it is perfect.
- Sound quality. My colleagues say that my voice is very clear.
- The controls. On the left, you spin the dial forward/backward to engage or disengage the sound cancellation. There's apparently 13 levels of cancellation; I just treat it as Yes or No. On the right is the volume - same deal. Spin forward to turn up, backward to turn down. There are other controls for calls, music, etc. involving tapping and I haven't really used these, but what I have used of them they work just fine. It's very intuitive.
-General Operation. A button on the right side turns them off/on, and the mute button is just to the side of it. There is a sound that plays when you're toggling the mute and let's you know pretty distinctively whether your mute is on or off.
- Connectivity. I use these with Bluetooth on a MacBook Air M1, and they're extremely responsive to connecting to my computer when I turn them on/put them on.
- Look and feel. They are packaged wonderfully, have a very modern look, and present themselves as a very quality product designed with thought & attention. They have a "weight" to them that doesn't feel cheap at all.
CONS:
- They frequently produce garbled audio packets. I've been in meetings where the speaker's voice will get garbled regularly, almost as if their internet connection is slow. But others don't report this, so I'm pretty certain it's the headphone bluetooth connection. I'm not sure what is causing this. It's annoying, but ultimately only a moderate inconvenience because it's not so garbled that I can't understand what the other person is saying.
- They sometimes get confused. If I have them registered with Bluetooth on my phone and my computer, they'll connect to both my phone and my computer, and when I have to switch between my phone or computer for a meeting or a call, they sometimes don't know which thing to connect to. I really don't think this is an issue with the headphones per se, but it's a thing. A very minor thing.
- A quirk on Mac. This is entirely Apple's fault, but worth knowing. When these headphones are put on, Apple Music is brought up on the computer automatically. I haven't figured out how to stop this from happening. Again, nothing against the headphones, but if you are using them with a Mac it's worth knowing.
Overall, I'm very happy with how these are performing. Despite the quirks, I'll give them 5 stars as the most superior headphones I've used for work.
Noise Cancellation: (Surface Headphones == Sony 1000XM3) > Bose QC35II.
The quality of noise cancellation on the Surface and Sony is very close, both standing well above Bose's. I am not too sure why, but Bose's NC gives me a weird headache, and it is not just the QC35 line, but also their in-ear QC20. There are reports of this happening to many other Bose owners, so, personally, I cannot recommend the Bose for the noise cancelling. Both Sony's and Surface Headphones' active noise cancelling is amazing, and for someone who takes bus rides daily, it is a godsend.
Comfort: Surface > Bose > Sony
When looking at how they rest on your head/ears, the Surface headphones are easily the most comfortable due to its over-ear design. To me, the Sony 1000XM3 are not comfortable since the drivers put physical pressure on my ear's cartilage, so after 20 minutes of listening, my ears would start hurting, and that is because of the on-ear design, similar to the Bose QC35II. As a commuter, comfort was the most important factor when I decided to get the Surface headphones.
Sound Quality: Sony > Bose > Surface
Both Sony and Bose have years of research and development backing them up, so their products have industry standard sound quality, whereas, the Surface headphones are Microsoft's first attempt at making premium headphones. I am not an audiophile, but I can still clearly tell the differences. For example, compared to the Bose QCII, the Surface headphones lack in the mids and highs. Do not get me wrong, the Surface Headphones do sound good for its main functions are being wireless and noise cancelling.
PROS:
- Quality noise cancelling .
- Surprisingly good to play games with, such as PUBG and Overwatch (when cabled, with NC on). I can actually hear footsteps much clearer, and it beats any of the fake "7.1 surround sound" gaming headphones by a milestone.
- Build quality is premium (soft touch material), way better than the Bose. They weigh a tiny bit more than Sony's and Bose's, but it's negligible.
- Touch control on the sides, which makes it hands-free. Also, the dials for volume (on the right) and NC (on the left) are really smooth and easy to adjust.
- Fast charging, so you can sneak in a couple hours of battery with ~15 minutes of charging (as long as you have a fast charger).
- USB type-C
- If you run out of battery, they still function as normal headphones with the 3.5mm jack cable (with NC off).
- Voice assistant (Cortana, Siri, Google Voice) if you are into that.
- It has voice prompts, such as telling you battery life when turning it on. Also, it will pause your music when you take them off.
- Phone calls sound clear.
CONS:
- Battery life (about 12 hours) is much shorter than the competitors. This is due to the voice assistant being on "stand-by" the whole time, which drains the battery. Microsoft is working on an firmware update to let you choose to have it turned off, but I don't think they will reach Sony's monstrous 30-hour battery.
- Sound quality is worse than Bose's and Sony's. You can try to tune it differently in the EQ, but they will still lack.
Overall:
I like them a lot and I would recommend them to people interested in buying wireless, noise cancelling headphones at this price range. My primary use is with my iPhone, so as far as streaming over Spotify, to me they sound great.
Top reviews from other countries
Pros:
-great design
-Dials very easy to use.
-very comfortable compared to beats studio 3
-wireless range ia very good.
Cons:
-software Improvement . The feature to play/pause automatically is nice when it works properly. If i hit pause than i take the headphones off it play.. It doesn’t understand that it was paused already. And Sometimes when i put them on again it start playing but with no voice so i have to turn them off and on again to make it work but this happened really few times. But maybe that is because i use it with a bluetooth transmitter connected to my tv.
I wore the latest set of headphones deliberately for several hours to test comfort and they were indeed very comfortable. The earpads do exclude a considerable amount of extraneous noise without active noise cancellation (ANC), which is a progressive adjustment. At the adjustment's lowest setting, ANC is off and external sounds are lightly amplified. This is useful if there's an interruption and easier than lifting an earpiece to listen.
The sound quality is excellent but with volume and noise cancelling at all settings, there's a very faint hiss from the internal electronics. Noise cancellation is not as effective as the Sony XM3's, but is not far behind. The great thing with these is that their Bluetooth pairing and connection is well behaved and very easy to use. I had Sony headphones and sent them back because their Bluetooth was difficult to connect and the headphones often announced they were connected but carried no sound from my recent model Samsung TV.
Another great positive for me is that their control app is Windows-based. I'm probably one of the few people left who don't bother much with mobile phones. I have one but can't connect to Wifi and can't access the Apple store, so Windows connectivity was a great plus for me. The app is really easy to use, too and there's a lot of helpful information on line that is so much easier to read than in a tiny text multilingual instruction booklet or a small screen. Also, all features remain active during USB charging and firmware updates are easy to apply via the USB charging lead when connected to a computer. The audio spectrum can also be adjusted via the online app, with presets for jazz, pop, classical, rock and flat. Personalised settings can be saved.
Volume and ANC are controlled by rotary controls on the periphery of the earpieces. This is very easy to get used to. Internal prompts from the headphones are in an English accent, not a nasal American one, thank goodness.
The on/off button is just about flush with the right earpiece's curve and could do with being a little more proud, like the only other pushbutton control - well, a short bar really, which is a mute control, apparently operative when using a phone or a portable music source. A long touch on either headphone leads to Cortana's voice offering to learn your voice so some of the headphones' commands can be voice controlled. Since this is mainly for use with a mobile phone or iPod (or similar) to control taking phone calls or playing music, I can't comment because I haven't the means to test it. Other touch controls are available for calls and music and fall into the same category for me.
The headphones don't fold up to fit into a small(ish) case but the earpieces swivel so they can fit into an 8 inch square carrying case. It's a bit big to lug about but its quality of manufacture is as high as that of the headphones.
I have been searching for headphones that would allow me to listen to a pocket portable radio whilst walking near to a busy roadway. These headphones turn on when a 3.5mm stereo jack is inserted into the socket and both volume and noise reduction are fully functional making them ideal for that purpose.
I'm very happy/delighted with my purchase. Dave L
The head phones switch really nice between my devices too, I listen to music on my phone or one of my PCs and take Teams calls on my laptop and it works great pausing the music when I take the call. I know it seems like a no-brainer but it's super handy.
I've played around a bit with the Cortana integration on my work PC and it's cool but I rarely use it.
The noise cancellation is good, I haven't tried Bose or Sony headphones but I it tunes out enough of the ambient noise from the street and the house that I would say that they do a great job.
I do find my ears get a bit warm as I wear them but that's not an issue with the headphones, they are very comfortable.
