    I've got an old pair of HP BlueTooth headphones, but since Logitech made them then their headphones should work as well. All I had to do was turn the headphones on and go into the Asus BlueTooth manager and search for devices. The laptop picked up the headphones and then gave me the option to search the web for drivers. I also had to enter a PIN code (0000). Once they loaded I had sound -very easy to set up! Once you get them working go to the BlueTooth manager again and select Bluetooth / options and make sure AV Remote Control Service is selected (you may have to shut down the headphones and then reconnect to get it to work). The AV Remote Control Service allows you to use the pause, volume, and skip buttons built into the headphones when you are using Windows Media Player.

    One last thing: If you run Zone Alarm then the first time you use one of the buttons on the headphones ZA will throw up a warning about an application trying to access the network -it's just the Audio Video Remote Control Service. It uses the TCP/IP stack to communicate with programs (like Windows Media Player).

    I'm streaming a radio program via my WiFi network while using the headphones and the audio is clear!
