Since the headset is being seen by Windows I would have to say that the Bluetooth element was working, otherwise how did Windows know about the headset.
After connecting the headset right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and choose playback devices. Is the headset listed there? If so make sure that it is listed as the default device. Click the configure button and follow the on screen prompts and see if the headset starts working.
If the headset has a microphone you may wish to check recording devices as well and verify that the microphone is working. You will need to make sure that it is listed as the default device as well under recording devices.
If the headset doesn't show at all on either recording or playback devices then it may not be connecting correctly. This is a fairly simple guide but may prove helpful.
Please let me know what you find out.
