When you can have this and a decent mp3 player???




"

This model allows you to plug any pair of headphones you own into the Jacked Link.

Hands-Free Listening

The LINK system allows you to listen to your music and use your mobile hands-free through your headphones, without ever touching either device. When a call is received, you can either eliminate the music entirely, or simply reduce the music volume with the inline music control on the LINK console - listen to both the music and the call at the same time!

Placing Calls

Depending on your mobile model, you can also place calls using the LINK console while continuing to listen to your music. The LINK system is fully supportive with the voice-dialing features of most cellpone models, allowing you to place calls through the headphones with the simple touch of the LINK console button.

Oh, The Possibilities!

Use the LINK system to keep both hands free for cycling, snowboarding skiing, commuting, working out at the gym, or simply vegitating in front of the computer - all while never missing a single hard-driving beat or important phone call.

Quality Sound, Compatible System

The LINK system headphones offer incredible high fidelity sound, specifically designed for both digital and traditional music sources. The standard audio jack makes the product perfect for MP3 players, CD players, Cassette decks, MiniDisc players, AM/FM radios, etc. "

Although I am now a povo - it looks too cumbersome.
So that would mean I would have to add my md player to this device to the phone? Wires galore!

Although I am STILL waiting for Sony to make a MD bluetooth. Drool. Yes that would be nice...

I'm not comfortable when there are wires sticking out of my phone. I'd rather wait until I have the money... buy the wireless type and use the bluetooth feature of my phone.

Of course, I did buy the phone because of the BT.
INTEGRITY

Without it...
Everything else is irrelevant.

If you wanna be unique, then there's the price to pay...

honestly, how funny will one be looked like when he/she pulls out his/her chain of phone-mp3player-connector-headphone...

With the small, light HBM-30 u hang it on ur neck, and u can chase the bus, run few miles, jump for 10 min, spin like an idiot, take all ur clothes off, WHATEVER...the player is still around ur neck, instead of a chain of stuff u have no idea how to handle...

now...seeing that everyone else here got the expensive T610 (although I only have T68i, it was as expensive as T610 when i got it...>$700CAD), is it really THAT much expensive to get this unique BLUETOOTH mp3 player that other brand's cellphone users can only dream of owning?

Just my 2 cents...I always feel it's such a show off talking on the phone using the HBM-30...people might think I am an idiot talking to myself, as they don't even seems to know the existence of such high-end product...

Considering how people piss and moan and justify theft over having to pay a whole 3 to 5 dollars for a game, apparently so.

in my case, turns out to be for one neck-deep in debt, however on a new ccontract witha subsidized phone at least I now have a phone + headset which was well worth the wait and the saving up

in itself is not terribly expensive I must say.... however accessories are priced rather steep
