Microsoft has launched the Surface Headphones 2+ for Business, a slightly upgraded version of the Surface Headphones 2 specifically aimed at commercial customers.

Just like the Surface Pro 7+, which was announced earlier this year, the purpose of this improved model is to provide commercial users with a certified product that addresses their needs.

In the case of the Surface Headphones 2+ for Business, Microsoft says it’s fully certified for Microsoft Teams, being offered with a dongle.

Other than that, the Surface Headphones 2+ for Business is pretty much the same thing as the Surface Headphones 2, and Microsoft too explains this in an announcement today.

“This product carries over all of the features loved by existing Surface Headphones customers; 13 levels of active noise cancellation, innovative earcup dials, an advanced 8-microphone system for incredible voice clarity, 18.5 hours of music listening time or up to 15 hours of voice calling time, and the all-day comfort to help you through the day’s virtual meetings,” the company explained.

The Surface Headphones 2+ for Business is available for $299.99 in select markets.

New Modern Headsets

Microsoft has also announced new Modern USB and Wireless Headsets, once again built with Microsoft Teams in mind, so they come with dedicated call and mute buttons.

“Certified for Microsoft Teams, these Microsoft Modern headsets enable greater focus and call privacy, especially in shared workspaces. Effortlessly join a meeting or answer a call with the dedicated Teams button, and always be in control with a physical mute button and LED mute indicator light that confirms your mute status. With these new features, you’re ready when you want to jump into the conversation or when a distraction occurs,” Microsoft says.

The Modern USB Headset and Wireless Headset will start shipping in June with a $49.99 price tag, though once again, only select markets will get them.
