Microsoft's Surface Headphones have got their initial firmware update, as the software giant works on refining the experience using the tool and fixing a few of the bugs as the saying goes.

What you need to know from the beginning is that this firmware update comes with no changelog, so we can't tell for sure what are the problems that Microsoft correct within this release.

The firmware version is 1.0.4.31.21, up from 1.0.4.22.21, and it can be installed on the Surface Headphones using any iOS, Android, or Windows 10 device.

Everything is pretty simple actually, even though you ought to know that using a Windows 10 PC to update the top headphones requires a USB cable. On Android and iOS, that you can do the whole thing wirelessly, however in both cases, you have to use the official Cortana app to update the headphones.

"Under the hood improvements regardless of platform"

On Windows 10, you can also make use of the Surface Headphones app for that process, but the USB cable is still required.

"The update will require a couple of minutes to download, and you can use your headphones during this period. After the download, your headphones will restart so the update can install," Microsoft explains.

"During the installation, your headphones will appear to become off. In case your Surface Headphones don't reconnect automatically following the update is completed, press the power button on the headphones to show them off, then turn it well on to reconnect."

We've reached out to Microsoft to ask for more details relating to this release and we'll update the article when and when an answer is offered. Meanwhile, those who own the top Headphones are obviously recommended to update their devices as soon as possible, especially because this firmware update could bring a series of welcome under-the-hood improvements.
