The kit, according to the companies, is designed to enable Skype customers wirelessly listen to music and manage calls over the Internet simultaneously from a PC using Bluetooth technology.

The Talk & Tunes kit consists of the Motorola Bluetooth Stereo Headphones HT820 and the Bluetooth PC Adapter PC850.
