  1. Have you attempted to reset the headset to establish a new connection?

I have done a factory re-set. Paired and unpaired the controllers-  both of them. Removed the battery, restarted my phone.

 

The left controller will pair. And I can get through almost an entire game, then it stops pairing and I have to do the entire process over again for the controller to only pair momentarily.

And when I turn the headset on the left controller does not have power. I have changed batteries and it shows in app that the battery is at 100% on the left controller.
