Deal | Microsoft's Surface Earbuds are on sale with a steep 50% discount on Amazon
True wireless headphones are as popular as ever, and as our recent deal on a beautiful black pair of gaming earbuds highlighted, there are many worthy brand-name alternatives on the market besides Apple's well-known AirPods. Microsoft's Surface Earbuds for example may not be as prevalent as some competing products, but Amazon's current deal might make them worth a look for prospective buyers.
Amazon has the aforementioned Microsoft Surface Earbuds on sale for US$99, which is a massive 50% discount compared to the headphone's regular list price of around US$200. According to the price-tracking website Camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest price ever for this pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds on Amazon. The included compact charging case is advertised to provide up to 24 hours of music listening and can be recharged via USB-C. The Microsoft Surface Earbuds further support the important aptX audio codec, and the wireless headphones are waterproof according to the IPX4 rating.
In the comprehensive review by Rtings, Microsoft's AirPods alternative did not receive a particularly high rating. Due to a rather open fit, this pair of Bluetooth earbuds does not block background noise very well. However, some users might prefer this type of design as it does not create the, as Rtings describes it, "plunger-like feeling" of other in-ear headphones. Therefore, this deal on the Microsoft Surface Earbuds is still worth consideration at a massively discounted price of just US$99.
