It helps to not have to take the lens cap off every time, but I don't want the front element to get all beat up from bouncing around in the bag.

Huh.  And I thought lomography was in...you know, that dirty, scratchy, cheap plastic lens look people are after.

 

I've taken some of my best shots with the lens cap on.  They're a little underexposed though.

 

I've also given up trying to be inconspicuous in my old age.  I just grab my camera out of my huge camera bag, jump right in front of people, shove my lens in their face and scream "Booga-Booga!" and shoot.  I got a great portfolio of very expressive faces juxtaposed against shots of the inside of police stations.

I'm also skipping on the CEntrance bands and going with my SUPER ULTRA CUSTOM Blue Dragon Flying Tarantula bands:

Hmmm... that sounds like something Michael Goodman would write...  

 

"I am finished doing what I swore an oath to myself I would do two years ago.  I've created something that thrills people.  And in that purpose, I am a success. I've done this because, philosophically, I am sympathetic to your aim.  I can tell you without ego, the HiFi-M8 is my finest achievement.  If on your journey, you should encounter Ken Ball, Ray Samuels, or David Maudlin, you will make them cry."

I hope Michael and the guys in Chicago are not loosing sleep over the rubber bands.  I just want the best sounding DAC/Amp on the face of the planet.  I have no issue with the folks at Centrance loosing sleep over the most reliable, well built, feature laden, power packed, flexible, coolest thing ever.  I have faith that Michael will come up with the right product.

 

I am not concerned about the rubber bands so much; they are just rubber.  Hey, in the immortal words of Chico Escuela (aka Garrett Morris from SNL), "Rubber break, but I can't talk about that".

5. They've spawned a new generation of faux audiophiles who spread ignorance and troll the real community of audiophiles.

Sounding bad for the money alone won't generate the criticism Beats have gotten here. There's much more to it than that.

People still on witch-hunt-pitchforks-and-torches mode it seems, even after 7+ years. (That long?!)

SR-009: "I don't know who this (hifi)man is, but I want him and his frequency graph, DEAD!"

 

Narrator: Every flagship wants a bite of him...

 

TH-900: "How can such a lowlife touch us, the expensives?"

 

T1: "He is never gonna replace me! NEVER!"

 

HD800: "No one leaves here without a treble-spike...."

 

Narrator: He is...  HE-500!

 

*Explosion*

 

HE-500: "I didn't choose this... I didn't want to be a hero..."

 

Cue soft piano music

 

Modded T50RP: "HE-500 this place need you. I need you. Before I met you I was a lowlife ortho, but you showed me, you showed all of Headfi, that this place can be something different."

 

*Explosion, HE-500 walking away*

 

Dramatic high paced movie music

 

???: "He is no match for me... Don't worry SR-009, I've dealt with his kind before..."

 

Modded T50RP: "No! Don't touch me! Leave me alone!"

 

Empty streets. HE-500 walks in front of a building.

 

HE-500: "Set her free! It's me you want! Come out you coward!"

 

Voice from building: "So, you've come at last, HE-500...."

 

HE-500: "I know this frequency response... You are..."

 

LCD-2 walks out of the building

 

HE-500: "My nemesis..."

 

Evil laughter from LCD-2

 

Narrator: THIS SUMMER, a headphone world you have never experienced. HE-500, with help from his brothers HE-400....

 

HE-400: YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA, did someone drop the BASS on this place or what!?"

 

...and HE-6...

 

HE-6: "Aren't there any bar in this god forsaken place with power enough to drive me...?"

 

Narrator: ...will he be the one headphone to save Headfi?

 

Epic fighting between HE-500 and LCD-2

 

LCD-2: "You'll never kill my bass!"

 

HE-500: "You're just angry because you can never get any ladies without a mild treble-spike"

 

LCD-2 and HE-500 running against eachother

 

LCD-2: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

 

HE-500: "HHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

                  *BOOM*

 

                      HE-500

 

         Coming out on cinemas in June...

With the HD-650, hip-hop isn't so much of a "yo! I'm a mutha-f***in' gangsta!", but it's more of a "Hi there. I am a gangster."
