Microsoft Surface Headphones Review: Dialed In

I always feel a bond with people who tell me they owned a Zune back in the day. Microsoft's also-ran MP3 player never became a hit, but it was a fabulous little music machine and its influence can still be felt in the company's hardware and software a decade later. Its Surface devices have put a focus on high-quality design since they debuted in 2012, and now Microsoft is using the brand to re-enter the audio market with the Surface Headphones. The Surface Headphones look and feel nothing like a Zune, but Microsoft's attention to detail is still intact. The company didn't just plop out a set of headphones for a quick buck; it spent several years meticulously designing them.
