OK, I'll be nice (this time only).
You can start by supplying the maker and model number of your wireless earphones. Are they just earphones or do they include a microphone? What's a "mobile"?
If they're Bluetooth, you get a Bluetooth USB adapter for your laptop and you're done. If you wanna control Skype from the headset, try:
In future messages, try to supply:

Not quite -- Bluetooth will only work with Skype with the proper Bluetooth Profiles, at least Headset and ideally Handsfree as well, which are *not* included in Windows XP, so you'll want a Bluetooth adapter with its own driver and the proper profile. For more info, see .
I spotted this identical posting (not a cross-posting) in alt.cellular.bluetooth
So I made the assumpti The default WindowsXP BT drivers will not work as a headset. I have a Motorola HS820 BT headset that I pair with a DLink DBT-120 USB-Bluetooth adapter. This is on WindowsXP-SP2, using the DLink drivers from Widcom.
This works for Skype.

Good detective work.
Are you SURE you're not getting any interference from 802.11? The DBT-120 is Bluetooth 1.1, which does not have AFH (adaptive frequeny hopping).

I've had minimal Wi-Fi interference problems even with very old Bluetooth adapters.
Huh? Interference? It works with Skype and with Cisco Softphone. Testing just now, I have the DBT-120 within a foot or two of the Netgear WG511 WiFi card and five feet to the Netgear WGR614v4 Router.
The quality on Skype is fine. Cisco seems to pick up some noise, but that's probably the headset bristling against my beard, something I'd never really pondered in headset design. I might have to shave. At least in one spot.
I went with the DBT-120 because it was the only one they had at Fry's.
I think I bought it before BT 2.0, but I'm not sure.
Recently, a TrendNet was the only USB-BT that Fry's had that wasn't a combined WiFi/Bluetooth adapter (I think the combo was Belkin).
The Plantronics USB headset DSP-300/400 is what I normally use for PC telephony.
I went through a series of almost-buys on the BT headset. IOGear had one for $19.99 that they just never shipped. BestBuy had a Nokia for $9.99 that was back-ordered, and then eventually canceled. The Motorola HS820 was $29.99 at Radio Shack. That sale is gone.
