i was thinking of buying a mp3 handsfree for my phone
i know that hpm 30 is better because it has bluetooth but the hpm 10 is half the price...
is the hpm 30 worth double the price?

yes it is. cause it support bluetooth, you can use it without your phone, it runs on a separet battery.
there a guide on my site how to get the 10hours of battery life on the HBM-30 only with the guide you'll know how.

HBM-30 only supports Memory Stick Duo which goes up to a max 128MB. HPM-10 supports just about any MMC size - I'm using 256MB in mine - but it's limited to reading 96 tracks so there's no point in putting anything on above 96 tracks - so for eg a 1GB MMC wouldn't be much use unless it had really long tracks.
The HPM-10 runs off the phone's battery and doesn't use much power. The HBM-30 needs a separate AAA size battery and uses the power up very rapidly. Someone (see above) said you can use re-chargeables in a certain way to get longer time. I got about 2 hours max using a duracell high power.
The HPM-10 has in-ear headphones which are pretty good quality. The HBM-30 headphones clip over the ear and I found them very uncomfortable but I think it uses a standard headphone jack (check this out though, I'm not sure) so you can use other headphones as the mic's built into the player, whereas the HPM-10 mic is on the headphone cord. |
