Microsoft has not only announced the availability of the Surface Earbuds, but they have also announced an update to the Surface Headphones in the form of the Surface Headphones 2.
Starting with the Surface Earbuds, for those who might have missed the announcement last year, these earbuds promise up to 24 hours of battery life with the use of the charging case that it comes in. As we previously mentioned, it seems that it pulls double duty as a pair of headphones and also as a controller for Office, where users can use it to control the slides on PowerPoint, for example. Interestingly enough, Microsoft seems to have lowered the price from $249 to $199 and they will be available for purchase starting May 12.
The earcups have also been redesigned where they can now rotate 180-degrees to make it more comfortable when worn around the neck, as well as a new black finish option. The Surface Headphones 2 are priced at $249 and will also be available for purchase May 12.
