The Microsoft Surface Headphones 2 are very striking the moment you get to know them to the fullest. They are able to introduce noise canceling headphones in the market which leave behind the market leaders in this field like Sony and Bose.
Original Surface Headphones were with some drawbacks mainly the less battery time and sound quality. Knowing those shortcomings Microsoft resorted to selling those headphones at the same price as their competitors. This was an injudicious decision by Microsoft as the brand new product which doesn’t have any following in the market cost the same as popular devices.
With the new Surface Headphones 2, Microsoft has managed to increase the battery life with a reasonable price tag of $250.
