I've tried with my Nokia phone, it seems to work pretty well, but I suspect that because the bluetooth receiver is at the back of the PC, then transmission strength may be an issue. I couldn't get the Asus BT Go to work at all, but the native Windows 7 (through Windows update) Bluetooth functionality seemed pretty good. Was able to access the phones memory, transfer files, and listen to music on the pc from the phone. Albeit the quality wasn't fantastic. I again suspect that the bandwidth of USB 2.x is a bit low for this, combined with low signal strenght. I see the new Asus motherboards support high-speed Bluetooth 3.0. Perhaps a USB port on the front of the PC with a Bluetooth 3.0 dongle might get superior results.

Hope that helps
Greg

Maybe charging the headset might be an issue too. I have quality troubles sometimes when my batteries get low.

I'm stabbing in the dark here, so bear with me lol

Are the Sony's disconnected from all other bt devices before you connect with your pc?

Have you upgraded to the latest bt drivers both through Windows Update and the Asus website?

Do the Sony's have any additional configuration options?

Also suggest checking the Sony forums.
