Surface Headphones
Fact Sheet
October 2018
Introducing Surface Headphones, Microsoft’s first premium headphones that offer a smarter way to listen.
Designed for amazing audio experience balanced with great voice allowing you to move from music and
movies to Skype calls with high quality. Designed from the inside out, Surface Headphones provide a
comfortable, balanced design to help get you in your flow and focus. In the US, use your voice to get
more done by asking Cortana
i
to set up reminders or turn on music and surround yourself with
spectacular sound quality. Surface Headphones complete the Surface experience.
Top Features and Benefits
•Turn it up, tune it out. Surround yourself with spectacular sound quality and easily adjust
volume and noise cancellation levels with new, intuitive on-ear dials. Thirteen different ambient
sound levels allow you to let in or keep out as much noise as you want. Custom free-edge drivers
provide the amazing sound quality you expect from a premium headset, allowing you to listen to
music or watch videos with clear, crisp sound. Head detection automatically pauses the music or
mutes calls when you remove them and restarts them again when you are ready. Designed with
Skype in mind, there are two beam-forming microphones on each ear cup to focus on the sounds
you want to capture, for excellent call experiences.
•Get comfortable. With Surface Headphones, we took a fresh approach with materials to optimize
for comfort and durability. The premium materials, memory foam and overall balanced design
make them easy to wear for a full day of travel or knocking out a big project at the office.
•Connect to your world. Easily connect Surface Headphones to your Windows 10 PC right out of
the box by enabling Swift Pair. Listen throughout your day with up to 15 hours of battery life
ii
and
fast charging for almost an hour of music in just five minutes.
•Say hello to your assistant. Use your voice to get more done. In the US, Cortana is ready to
assist when you need with hands-free activation. Ask Cortana to play your favorite song, set a
reminder, make a call or get answers to questions. By using your voice to access Cortana, you’ll
never have to pause what you are doing to reach for your device or fumble for a cord.
