Connect bluetooth headphones both to PC and phone at the same time

bluetoothconnectionmobile phone

I have recently bought Philips SHB6110. Extract from the 13th page of manual:

Therefore you can connect your
Bluetooth stereo headset.

  • with a Bluetooth stereo enabled phone to both listen to music and
    lead calls, or
  • with a Bluetooth phone that does not support Bluetooth stereo (A2DP)
    to lead calls and at the same time
    to a Bluetooth audio device
    (Bluetooth enabled MP3 player,
    Bluetooth audio adapter etc.) to
    listen to music. Make sure to pair
    the phone first with your Bluetooth
    headset, then turn both the phone and
    headset off to then pair the
    Bluetooth audio device.

With the SwitchStream feature you can
listen to music and monitor your calls
at the same time. Even while listening
to music, you will hear a ring tone
when receiving a call and can switch
to the call simply by tapping the
button.

The manual however doesn't specify how do I connect to both device at the same time. I use Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1CG laptop with Belkin Mini Bluetooth Adapter and Nokia N95 phone. Operating system is Windows 7 64-bit and I have Skype installed.

Both phone and compute can be used for listening to music and talking on the phone (on PC via Skype). Best solution would be if I could connect to PC and phone as the same time and monitor calls both mobile and Skype calls while listening music from Winamp. If that is not possible, then I would like at least to be able to listen music from PC, while monitoring calls from mobile.

So, please tell me how do I connect both PC and phone to headphones?

I did this today, by pairing the phone to my laptop, and then the headset to the laptop. Was able to hear phone audio on the bluetooth headphones. YMMV though, seems like it was a bit choppy at times to be streaming from/to both devices.
