2 Bluetooth accessories for the Walkman unveiled

Here’s good news to Walkman phone lovers. Sony Ericsson has released two Bluetooth-enabled music accessories.

The music receiver MBR-100 is a device that plugs into the car stereo or hi-fi stereo and then streams the music from one’s Bluetooth-enabled phone to the speakers. 

Once the phone is paired with the MBR-100, just walk into its range and an automatic invitation comes in on the phone screen to play the music. The phone can even be used as a remote control, letting one play, pause or skip to the next track. 

The MBR-100 comes with a 3.5-mm input music jack cable, an RCA music cable and a standard charger. 

On the fashion side, Sony Ericsson has announced the Bluetooth headset HBH-PV705 Style Edition, an elegant, discreet and compact Bluetooth headset that can be hung around the neck through a beautiful necklace strap or be kept in a soft pouch. 

The kit comes with a detailed attachable jewelry that can be clipped to the necklace strap or pouch for added style. 

Three different panels are supplied for personalization: black with an embossed floral pattern, white with purple floral detail, and an elegant purple.

The HBH-PV705 Style Edition is designed for the best sound experience with the microphone placed close to the mouth. The high performance ear speaker does not cover the ear canal, so the user can talk to people without having to take the headset off. 

At a mere 14 grams and with a soft ear hook, it boasts of 12 hours of talk time and 300 hours of standby time.
