Microsoft's Surface Earbuds have a new update that brings just a single change. Following the update to version 3.0.0.6, the Surface Earbuds now let you turn the aptX codec on or off.
Microsoft's support page for the Surface Earbuds outlines the change, which can also be found below.

Surface Earbuds have an excellent, albeit unique, design that is comfortable for all-day wear. However, incredibly good audio and exceptional battery life may not be enough to justify $200 compared to more affordable options.
