Microsoft revealed<\/a><\/strong> its own smart wireless earphones, the Surface Earbuds, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Earbuds are the company\u2019s first attempt at an in-ear version of wireless headphones, after introducing the Microsoft Surface Headphones late last year.<\/p>\n

Microsoft said the unique design of the Earbuds is \u201cultra-comfortable\u201d and features four anchor points for a secure fit.<\/p>\n

The Earbuds boast omnisonic sound and can be controlled by voice and touch, and each bud contains dual microphones for optimal call quality and voice recognition.<\/p>\n

They also sport native Spotify support on Android, allowing the user to instantly play music and control their playlist by tapping and using gestures close to the Earbuds.<\/p>\n

The Earbuds also offer unique integration with the Office365 suite, which includes seamless voice access to Outlook\u2019s calendar and emails.<\/p>\n

During a presentation, Microsoft will be able to translate your speech into one of more than 60 languages and display it in captions on a screen.<\/p>\n

Microsoft claims the batteries for the Earbuds will last up to 24 hours. A wireless charging case will be included with the Earbuds.<\/p>\n

The Surface Earbuds will cost $249. An official release date has not been announced.<\/p>\n
