Microsoft's Surface Headphones up close and hands-on
Oct 02, 9:43PM
In an event defined largely by spec bumps to existing product lines, the Surface Headphones were certainly a surprise.

Microsoft's Surface line now includes headphones
Oct 02, 9:08PM
Granted, most of today’s big announcements were iterative updates on devices we’ve seen in past years. Even so, Microsoft did sneak one surprise into today’s event. The simply titled Surface Headphones are perhaps the oddest addition to the line of laptop and desktop products. The key to these over-the-ear headphones, however, is clearly Cortana. The […]
