The sound quality on these headphones is great, but they have a "feature" that causes them to shut off automatically if no sound is detected for 5 minutes. On top of that, they also make a VERY loud beeping noise just before they shut down, which will almost make you jump out of your seat. Even after numerous complaints and requests on their forums, Astro refuses to get rid of, or allow adjustment of, this terrible "feature". Do yourself a favor and pass on these headphones unless you like to constantly be annoyed by loud electronic squeals, followed by your headset automatically shutting off.
