不久前，微软(Microsoft)发布了Surface Earbuds，这是该公司创造的第一款真正的无线耳塞。它们在某些方面与当今市场上的许多无线耳塞非常相似，但就其自身而言，该产品也非常独特。然而，最大的问题是Microsoft Surface Earbuds与Apple AirPods相比如何，Apple AirPods 正是引领这一趋势的设备。不出所料，AirPods因其受欢迎程度而成为该领域的领导者。
很难判断微软(Microsoft)是否有机会在这个领域竞争，但可以肯定的是，Surface Earbuds应该被视为微软(Microsoft)的另一个技术奇迹。但这并不意味着成功是必然的，因为在许多情况下，最好的技术并不重要。现在，让我们来看看Surface Earbuds和Apple AirPods之间的主要区别是什么。
Surface Earbuds 与 Apple AirPods
Surface Earbuds或Apple AirPods——你认为哪一个更好？我们或许可以帮助您做出决定。
1]设计(1] Design)
到目前为止，每个人都应该对Apple AirPods在设计方面的关注点有所了解。该设备直接进入耳朵，但随后每个耳塞(Earbuds)上都装有一个突出的麦克风。这是一个不寻常的设计，但它之所以奏效，是因为人们喜欢它，并且有几家制造商复制了它。
至于Surface Earbuds，没有突出的麦克风，但据我们所知，它确实非常笨重。这可能是由于微软(Microsoft)添加了所有的触控功能，所以他们决定让外部平坦而宽阔，以便进行简单的触控。
2] 功能和所有很酷的东西(2] Features and all the cool stuff)
就这些设备而言，打电话和听音乐只是基础。你看，Surface Earbuds的顶部有一个触敏表面，比当今市场上所有其他类似产品都要大。
人们可以将该设备用作PowerPoint演示遥控器，还可以为(PowerPoint)Microsoft Word提供语音听写而不是打字。不仅如此，该设备还可以翻译口语并将其放在屏幕上供所有人查看。
这些是Apple AirPods目前无法完成的事情，但我们预计该公司将在未来几年改进他们的产品。尽管如此，AirPods 仍然可以轻松与 iPhone 或任何支持的 iDevice 配对。我们不确定Surface Earbuds目前是否可以做到这一点。
3]电池寿命(3] Battery Life)
令人印象深刻的Apple AirPods一次充电可运行长达 5 小时，充电盒安装后可运行约 24 小时。现在，对于微软 Surface Earbuds(Microsoft Surface Earbuds)来说，这个东西一次充电最多可以使用 8 小时，而使用充电盒可以使用 24 小时。
说到Surface，全是微软(Microsoft)的话；因此，我们将不得不等待官方评论来决定什么是什么。
4] 价格(4] Price)
尽管具有所有功能和质量，但只有一件事更有可能确定成功，那就是价格。现在，人们可以以低至 159 美元的价格购买Apple AirPods ，在撰写本文时最高可至 199 美元。(Apple AirPods)
另一方面，Microsoft Surface Earbuds的售价高达 249 美元，如果你只是想打电话和听音乐的话，这已经是一大笔钱了。
所有人都说AirPods看起来更划算。对于定期使用Office 365的商业用户来说， (Office 365)Surface Earbuds似乎比AirPods更好。至于两者中哪一个是最好的，那是主观的。因此，我们将把决策权留给你们。
Microsoft Surface Earbuds vs Apple AirPods: Which is better?
Not too long-ago Microsoft announced the Surface Earbuds, the first truly wireless earbuds the company has ever created. They are very similar in some ways to many wireless earbuds on the market today, but in its own way, the product is also very unique. The big question, however, is how the Microsoft Surface Earbuds compare to the Apple AirPods, the very device that started this trend. As expected, then, the AirPods is the leader in this space due to its popularity.
It’s difficult to decipher if Microsoft stands a chance in competing in this space, but one thing is for certain, the Surface Earbuds should be viewed as another technological marvel from Microsoft. But that doesn’t mean success is a sure thing because in many cases, the best technology doesn’t matter. Now, let’s take a look at what are the main differences between the Surface Earbuds and the Apple AirPods.
Surface Earbuds vs Apple AirPods
Surface Earbuds or Apple AirPods – which one do you think is better? We can probably help with your decision.
1] Design
By now, everyone should have an idea of what to expect where the Apple AirPods are concerned in terms of design. The device goes right into ear, but then it was packed with a protruding mic on each Earbuds. It’s an unusual design, but it worked because people love the thing, and several manufacturers copied it.
As for the Surface Earbuds, there are no protruding mics, but it does come off as very bulky from what we can tell. That’s probably due to all the touch functions Microsoft added, so they decided to make the outside flat and broad for a simple touch.
2] Features and all the cool stuff
Making calls and listening to music are just basics when it comes down to these devices. You see, the Surface Earbuds has a touch-sensitive surface at the top that is larger than every other similar product on the market today.
Folks can use the device as a PowerPoint presentation remote, and also to provide voice dictation for Microsoft Word instead of typing. Not only that, but the device can also translate speaking-language and place it onscreen for all to see.
These are things the Apple AirPods are not able to accomplish at this time, but we expect the company to improve on their product in the years to come. Still, the AirPods can pair easily with an iPhone, or any supporting iDevice out there. We are not sure if the Surface Earbuds can do the same at this time.
3] Battery Life
The impressive Apple AirPods are capable of running up to five hours on a single charge, and around 24 hours when the charging case is in place. Now, as for the Microsoft Surface Earbuds, this thing can go up to eight hours on a single charge, and 24 hours with the charging case.
Where the Surface is concerned, it’s all based on the words of Microsoft; therefore, we will have to wait for official reviews to decide what is what.
4] Price
Despite all the features and quality, only one thing has a better chance of determining success, and that is the price. Right now, folks can purchase the Apple AirPods for as lows as $159, and as high as $199 at the time of writing.
The Microsoft Surface Earbuds, on the other hand, will cost a whopping $249, and that’s a lot if you’re just looking to make calls and listen to music.
All said the AirPods look like a better deal. For business users who make use of Office 365 on a regular basis, then the Surface Earbuds seem to be the better bet over the AirPods. As for which one of the two is the best, well, that is subjective. Therefore, we will leave the decision making to you guys.
