Of course there's Spotify integration on Android, with the ability to skip and control volume with gestures.

If there's anything a bit strange about the Surface Earbuds, it has to be the design: giant white discs that resemble weird earplugs, dinner plates, or even your favorite bike messenger's ear gauges. The larger size surely assists with the touch controls but they're not exactly designed for subtlety.

But, hey, people hated the AirPods design at first, too.

Starting at $249, though, they'll set you back far more than a standard pair of $159 AirPods.
