iSkin has launched the CERULEAN range of wireless accessories for the iPod. The new range comprises two products that let users stream music from their iPod wirelessly around the home and on the move.

The CERULEAN TX + RX, is a two-part stereo Bluetooth 2.0 transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX). The transmitter connects to an iPod or to a computer and the receiver is plugged into a speaker system, enhancing it with stereo Bluetooth streaming.

Once plugged in, the RX receiver automatically searches for TX equipped iPods or computers. CERULEAN TX + RX can also be used with any stereo system with an auxilliary input and any audio source with audio output ports.

The CERULEAN F1 is claimed to be the world's smallest stereo Bluetooth 2.0 earphones/mono headset combo and uses a unique 15mm driver and Neodymium magnet with a mylar layer that is said to ensure crisp reproduction of sound.

Users can simultaneously connect their TX equipped iPod and a mobile phone to the headset and the F1 will automatically switch from stereo earphones to mono headset mode upon an incoming call, so the user doesn't miss calls and can talk using its built-in omni-directional microphone.

The CERULEAN F1 can also be used with a Bluetooth equipped Mac/PC for VOIP or other online conferencing applications, as well as connecting to the TX equipped computer for listening to music and watching movies with true stereo audio sound.

The F1 can be charged using any powered USB charging port or USB wall charger and is fully charged in 2 hours ready for over 6 hours of continuous music play back.

Up to 10 hours of talk time is available on a single charge. The F1 comes with two ergonomically designed ear hooks to keep the F1 in place at all times, that are both claimed to be comfortable and secure fitting for various head and ear shapes.

CERULEAN TX+RX and F1 are available now priced at £99.99 and £129.99.
