Thanks to the two microphones in each earbud for voice recognition, the Surface Earbuds are also designed to handle voice calls and the dictation features of Microsoft Office. Microsoft claims that the earbuds deliver eight hours of run-time per charge, and a total of up to 24 hours when charged from the case.
