Microsoft Surface Headphones were launched at last year’s Surface hardware event and they’re now counted among some of the best noise-canceling headphones. Well, today’s Surface event saw Microsoft expand on the audio accessories line-up with the launch of truly wireless earbuds called Surface Earbuds.

One of the key highlights of the Surface Earbuds will have to be its design. They do not look like an Airpods clone, which is both good and bad. I say it’s bad since the design is weird and the earbuds look bulky. And well, they have been described the best as “pop sockets” for your ears by some popular tech YouTubers.

Well, they might look bulky and huge but the flat surface of each earbud here supports swipe and tap gestures to control music playback, volume and a lot more features in Office apps as well. The design should offer excellent in-ear stability, says Microsoft.
