Microsoft Surface Headphones get first quality-improvement firmware update

New firmware for Surface Headphones should make things even better.

The Microsoft Surface Headphones are like many modern Bluetooth headsets in that they can get over-the-air firmware updates to improve or add functionality. Since its release, the Surface Headphones have not had any updates, but that's changing now as version 1.0.4.31.21 is rolling out now (old firmware was 1.0.4.22.21).

As to what's new, well, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of features. While we had heard reports Microsoft may give users a way to turn off always-listening Cortana that is not a feature here. Nor are there any other new options. Instead, this appears to be more of a maintenance or quality improvement one instead likely addressing some lingering issues users may have reported.

Updated March 22, 2019: Microsoft has now posted release notes for the update, which detail improvements to audio quality and reliability, along with tweaks to make sure Spotify continues playing after you hang up a call, and more. Here's a look.
