The music is like those Dolby Digital demonstrations at the start of a movie in a cinema (which incidentally always strikes me as being as pointless as showing a white flashing strobe for 30 seconds and then saying "we do ALL the colours at ALL the Hertz"), but it's a little intense when you're trying to watch something on a little laptop in bed. There's another blast of sound at the end too, which wakes me up if I've been using them to fall asleep too. But it doesn't really detract from them, it just makes me associate BMW with being annoying. They’re great except for the intro.
