"Considering it already gets like 20 hours it might be an hour less. Of course it's a little lower due to age... But I can't complain."

"auto-shutting off while playing audio ... If I don't run steelseries GG, it'll default to the setting that is shuts down after 30 minutes. ... The only way to circumvent that bullshit then, is to actively use the microphone, that registers as "being used". Not the fucking fact that there's audio playing through the headphone :( ... I sometimes manage to get the auto-shutdown to 'never' via a profile in steelseries GG, but it usually only works a limited time :("
"Uninstall their software. Just get your os to recognize the audio input and output and get rid of their trash. ... Worked for me as their software was awful and causing issues like you described."

"they are NOT good headphones, even for the price. ... You can absolutely get better sound quality from other cans in the ~$75-$100 price range."
"the sound quality alone is night and day."
"They have a very V shaped sound profile (loud highs and bass) which just isnt for me. ... They can get tin-y on the highs and pretty punchy bass."

"faux leather ear foams are absolute garbage out the box. ... Had to get a cooling gel ones on Amazon for like $15 ... I def replaced the ear pads a few times over the years - they get a bit funky when it's hot out."
"I got extra fat ear cushions off of amazon so that they don't hurt my cartilages because my ears are weird with my glasses"
"I replaced my ear pads long ago."
