Microsoft has announced new work from home devices, including the Surface Headphones 2+, Modern USB Headset, Modern Wireless Headset, and Modern USB-C Speaker.
Microsoft has dropped a number of new products this morning, including some gear tailored made for the work-from-home life. The headline product is the Surface Headphones 2+ For Business, a productivity-focused version of the vanilla Surface Headphones 2. The main difference? Well, these are “Certified for Microsoft Teams,” thanks to a number of videoconferencing-specific features. Rather than Bluetooth, the Surface Headphones 2+ uses a USB dongle for a “rock-solid connection,” as Microsoft states. It also comes with a dedicated Teams button and synchronized call controls. It’s too bad these don’t also include Bluetooth like the best wireless headphones, as the Surface Headphones 2+ will be less useful with devices like smartphones. Other than that, the Surface Headphones 2+ For Business are identical to the standard version. They include the same headphone earcup design, which includes its intuitive dial control,13 levels of active noise cancellation,15 hours of voice calling battery life, and a matte black finish.
