Q: Can I pair Surface Headphones with my Mac and still access Cortana?

A: No it does not. I just opened the pair of bluetooth microsoft surface cortana white headphones to decide if they'll replace my Bose bluetooth headphones but the cortana does NOT sync with the macbook (laptop). All the threads I read says it will sync with the iphone but never said the laptop. They are amazing quality... you'll definitely do deaf if you blast it too loud.. noise cancelling is great but I need it for my macbook (laptop) as well as android phone so is only good while Im commuting so not sure if I will use much. Great headphones if you have a PC.

Q: Can you try the headphones in a physical store?

A: We highly recommend reaching out to Best Buy directly for more information regarding any displays in store. Contact Best Buy's customer service here: 1-(888)-237-8289.

Q: Could I connect these to an iPhone? Specifically the XR?

A: Yes, you can connect Surface Headphones via Bluetooth to your iPhone XR.

Q: Now that Microsoft has officially killed off Cortana, what is the point of these headphones? Getting tired of buying into the Microsoft ecosphere and then watching them kill their own products off rather than support and improve them....

A: You can pair these headphones with other assistants as well. Also I don't really use the Cortana feature anyway. So if you like a unique pair of headphones or want to complete the Surface lineup, they still have a point.

Q: Can I use these to voice chat with gaming consoles? PS4, Xbox, etc.

A: The Microphone will not work in game chat sadly.

Q: I bought these headphones and I am having issues with the mute button. The button seems to activate itself sometimes, inside and outside. Any ideas?

A: We're sorry to hear you've encountered difficulties with your Surface Headphones and we'd like to help. At your earliest convenience please feel free to reach out to our support team, they are eager and available to help here: https://aka.ms/AA4rbq6.

Q: The earphones keep randomly going into mute mode when I am not pushing the mute button. This happens whether I am outside or inside. What is going on? Anything I can do to stop this?

A: I updated the firmware using the Surface App (on MSFT Store) and it fixed the problem. Try and use the USB cable since its a lot faster and even using it still takes 10-15 minutes.

Q: Will these work with Microsoft's xbox one gaming platform?... if not they're grossly overpriced in comparison to competing brands.

A: yes they can youll sadly have to use the 3.5 mm jack though but they can be used while off. make with that as you wish
