— Microsoft Surface (@surface) October 2, 2019 The device looks like a mishmash of the Apple’s AirPods and Google’s Pixel Buds, except with a huge touch surface that allows you to access all the controls you need with gestures and taps. It looks rather unweildly, but Microsoft promises it’s comfortable by being balanced at two contact points with your ear. I think they look pretty stylish, but your mileage may vary. Moreover, it comes with tight Office integration. You will be able to perform dictation in Office, and even do real-time translations. All this, and the device features 24 hour-battery life when combined with it’s charging case. The Surface Earbuds will retail for $249 and be available “later this year”.
