Microsoft Surface Go 2, Surface Earbuds, Surface Headphones 2 now available in Canada

Some of the recently announced Microsoft Surface products have made their way to Canada and are now available. The 2-in-1 Surface Go 2 has a starting price of $529. If you thought that it comes with the Go Type Cover, unfortunately, you'll have to shell out an extra $169.99 for that. It comes in Ice Blue, Poppy Red, Platinum, and Black. You will also need to buy other accessories like the Surface Pen or Mobile Mouse separately. But if you have the Go Type Cover of the original Surface Go, then that should still work fine with the new device.

After a bit of a wait, the Surface Earbuds are also now available locally. Its starting price is $259.99. Now, if you want the new Surface Headphones 2, it comes with a starting price of $349.99. It's available in the new Matte Black.

Microsoft Surface Earbuds are reportedly launching in Europe on May 6

The Microsoft Surface Earbuds was unveiled during the fall Surface event, but its release got pushed back to a vague timeline of spring 2020 in the US. Its launch might come sooner rather than later. WinFuture reports that the earbuds will be available in Europe starting May 6, with a retail price of €199 or around CA$303 (which, if true, puts it roughly in line with the US$250 pricing or around CA$352). Of course, that price may not be the same as the actual Canadian price, but it gives us a ballpark figure. We also don't have word yet when the wireless earbuds will be available here.

The Surface Earbuds brings features like touch controls for Office apps like PowerPoint, live translation support in over 60 languages, and support for significant voice assistants like Google Assistant, Alexa, and Cortana (presumably, Siri, too).

Microsoft introduces smart, wireless Surface Earbuds

Everyone seems to have ridden the wireless, smart earbuds train. The latest to join the trend is Microsoft with the Surface Earbuds. The large, disc-shaped Earbuds are designed to fit comfortably and to work with the natural shape of the human ear. Instead of having the usual circular plastic dome, it's more oval, so it can rest on two points of the ear. 

On top of having a better fit, audio is improved with what Microsoft calls "rich, immersive Omnisonic sound." There doesn't seem to be noise cancellation here, though.
