I can't grow one that doesn't look like Joe Dirt so I envy you. :)

The very current and popular MLB player look of big beard and shaved head is the in thing. It looks like a low maintenance thing rather than dealing with managing longer hair and having to shave one's face every day.
I look gross without a beard. :(

Recently switched to full frame so now I need to purchase new FX lenses for my Nikon D750. Pulled the trigger on this prime beauty - Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG Art lens. Expensive, but the best 35mm lens you can get IMO. This will replace my Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lens for DX format.

Bose Soundtrue In-Ear. Not "blown away" by it like some of the reviews that persuaded me to purchase these conveyed. Very comfortable however.

Ouch....you really fell to the "bose" marketing claims???
Return them as soon as you can. Beats and Bose are both "jokes" to the audio community.
 
Nice catch! $0.34 a gig. I paid $16 for the 32gb version the week after Christmas.

Crazy how cheap and fast storage is getting.

Yeah it truly is amazing how cheap storage is getting. I remember paying around $150 for a 1TB external hard drive from Seagate. Now it's around ~$60 :eek: It's a good thing for consumers though haha

Agree, however....I have the Bose earbuds and they work just fine while going for a run. They stay in your ear! My audiophile experience is in my home studio. Outside of that, these work just fine.
 
Those are great! I used a pair on the air for years. Just replaced them last year with some Sennheiser HD280's and I actually think the Sony's were better.

That's good to hear because I was also considering the HD280's as well.
 
Let me know how that stuff worksout.

Been using both the wash and oil for the last couple of days. Never used these kind of products before so have nothing to compare them to. As far as oils go then there are much cheaper brands available and maybe they are all the same apart from fragrance? However, the oil does take the dryness away.

Ive since ordered some beard balm which was only about £3...

Look up B&W C5. Your welcome.

What marketing claims? I had the companion desktop series and they sounded wonderful. Tried the C5's series 1 before and those were extremely uncomfortable. Going for the Shure 215's this weekend.

This is just 1 small example of "marketing" , the Bose slogan goes "Better Sound Through Marketing" lol They really are a machine in emptying unknowing consumers who can't wait to "show" their friends. So Funny and SAD.

I have the Bose GSIIs, they sound much better than any of the Soundbars or HTIB I tested in anything close to the same price. I didn't want a whole setup anymore, receiver and speakers front/rear/sides/etc. And the Bose Sounbar really sounds amazing as well, but it is pricey.
 
M-Audio Keystation 88 II. Needed something more mobile than my Kurzweil PC3X and larger than my Keystation 49e. Should be fun!

Oh, and #DatBezel.

Interesting: most reviews criticise the plastic screen, odd front camera placement and generally cheap feel. What made you go to the effort of importing it vs. buying something more readily available in the UK?
