Microsoft this week officially launched its new Surface Headphones in the UK, coming two weeks after opening up preorders. The headphones are available to order at the Microsoft Store for £330.
The Surface Headphones were unveiled last month at Microsoft's October hardware event, coming alongside the new Surface Pro 6, Surface Laptop 2, and Surface Studio 2. And though their price is on the high side, the Surface Headphones come sporting some advanced features like different levels of active noise cancellation, gesture controls, and high-end audio. Rounding out the package is Cortana integration, allowing you to interact with the digital assistant on the go.
In his review, Windows Central Executive Editor Daniel Rubino said of the Surface Headphones:
Microsoft brought serious innovation to the table with Surface Headphones. It still has room to improve, but the company has established that it can offer some genuine competition to Bose and Sony. Surface Headphones 2 should be very exciting. For now, this first release is above average ... but not the best.
The Surface Headphones are now available for £330 in the UK and $350 in the U.S.
