In a sure sign that they are selling poorly, Microsoft has cut the price of Surface Headphones to a more reasonable $250. That’s a $100 price cut.
You can find Surface Headphones at Amazon.com, the Microsoft Store, and other retailers. But I’d appreciate you using my Amazon affiliate link if you are going to purchase a pair.

Microsoft announced Surface Headphones at the October 2018 hardware event at which it also unveiled Surface Studio 2, Surface Laptop 2, and Surface Pro 6. In a very brief demo, I found them to be solid and with excellent—and adjustable—noise canceling. But I prefer in-ear noise-canceling headphones, and after calling on Microsoft to make such a product, we found out that Microsoft is indeed planning to do just that.
It’s not clear whether the Surface Headphones price cut impacts those plans. But what is clear is that $350 was just too high of an asking price. So, at the very least, this price cut will make what appears to be a decent pair of over-the-ear noise canceling headphones more affordable.

<p>$250 is still too much. Does this headset come with a microphone? If not, then $150 would be the ideal price. With a microphone it would be worth having at $200. Forget Bose, B&O, etc…they are in a different league. However with a $200 price tag, they can wrestle with the like Astro, Razer, Turtle Beach, etc….</p><p><br></p><p>Also,….seriously…..no one should be buying this headset. Mainly because Microsoft made it and you know what happens with Microsoft branded products.</p>
