The buds don’t really block out environmental sounds, which could be great if you like to be aware of your surroundings at all times instead of completely tuning out everyone.
They also sound good and the microphone quality is reasonably good. For connectivity, they use Bluetooth 5.0 but Bluetooth multipoint or fast switching is not supported.
Office goers and students can also use the Surface Earbuds to dictate documents through Microsoft apps like Word and the hearables can also be used to generate real-time captions and subtitles during a PowerPoint presentation.
The buds have a fantastic build quality and are rated IPX4 water resistant. They come in a compact, pill-shaped charging case with a USB-C port.
The Surface Earbuds can last up to eight hours and the case offers two additional refills. It takes an hour to charge the case, but just ten minutes are enough for one hour of playback.
Now that Amazon has discounted the Surface Earbuds by 50 percent, they can be yours for just $99.99 and this is a great price for them. Sure, they don’t come with extras such as noise cancelation, but if you need the basics and comfort, these are your best bet.
