sorry if something really like this was asked before but i thought it would be better to post my question once instead of posting it in every related thread,excuse me again...

just looking for an advice,is it worth buying a HBH-DS970 for $88 (here)???it is not 100% wireless though,and
1- wondering afaik it does not have 3.5mm audio jack in order to use my fav headphones(as i'm using a HPM-70 now which is going to get thrown away soon due to damage)or to connect the device to a hifi or car stereo system...

2-what about the battery worktime??or
3-is the battery(ies) rechargable?

4-about build quality,is the wire gonna get cut like my hpm-75???

5-i've searched a lot in Esato for DS970 already and noticed some no music streaming or BT unstabality issues,or something about equalizer,some state that manual equalizers won't work this way(oh god i'm really loving my manual equalizer).are these gonna bother??

6-am i gonna be able to use this device as a handsfree??because hpm-75 really doesn't offer this because of long wires unless i clip it to my cloths which is annoying a bit.

7-or maybe a MBR-100(if i'm really looking fo 3.5mm audio jack)???????what are the differences between two devices in Bluetooth thing???

would you recommond ds970??does this device suit my wants????
i've checked out SE Accessory site but none of my questions was answered...
thanks in advance...considering music as my life.

1- wondering afaik it does not have 3.5mm audio jack
it does not have any jack to plug another other headphones in

2-what about the battery worktime??
expect 6-8 hours

3-is the battery(ies) rechargable?
yes, you get a charger with it which is one half the width of a normal SE charger connector and in fact you can use a normal charger too

4-about build quality,is the wire gonna get cut like my hpm-75???
there has been some chatter on here about wire problems around the ear pieces but so far mine look like new and I use it alot (and care for it alot!)

5-i've searched a lot in Esato for DS970 already and noticed some no music streaming or BT unstabality issues...
if I remember correctly only the stereo widening goes through to the ds970

6-am i gonna be able to use this device as a handsfree??because hpm-75 really doesn't offer this because of long wires unless i clip it to my cloths which is annoying a bit.
yes, it works great and the strap bit that goes around your neck really makes it comfortable

wow see....i finally purchased a ds970 otherwise i'm still having few problems with its features..though it really is not worth $88(i think $50 is acceptibale).

No Audio Jack???well i already have a hpm-75,though the earphones are cut but the adaptor works fine...
and NO Equalizer???well this time i hardly ignored the feature,but not so upset coz music quality is almost great enough to have not any manual equalizer needed...

this device is really great,never had an idea how pleasure it is to use it.especially the way it handles calls,and the display really impressed me.

but a stupid thing i did:p...it says it must be charged for 8 hours before first use,well i managed to do so but after approximately 4 hours,i and everyone in the house were to go out,afraid of overcharging i unplugged the device with only 4 hours of charge,ofcourse i did 8-hour charge when i was back home........but does this going to be a problem for battery life??

A little question about these head phones when using them connected to your PC. Say your Bluetooth dongle is 100m, does that mean you can listen to tracks that far away?

Just wondering if anyone has tried this?
