Wireless Headset Compatibility

Can anyone help me? I use the Chromecast paired with Stadia controller and a wired headset.  I know the Stadia controller has Bluetooth and its not enabled, so I am desperately seeking to disconnect from the "wires that bind".  It seems that all units the manufacturers produce use the USB type C port for both power and Bluetooth transmission/reception. I get that, but sticking with my current configuration (Stadia controller to Chromecast), is there a wireless system out there that allows for both charging and sound transmission simultaneously? (My controller will most certainly run dry during my gaming sessions) Lastly, if not, does anyone know of a reasonable non convoluted work around; one that can finally set me free?!  (And we know that the with the way things are going, we'll probably achieve sustained nuclear fusion before Google bothers to enable the Bluetooth on these Stadia contollers, sorry, just sayin')  Thanks, Scott

Not wireless, but I use a simple headset with a microphone with a classic jack, it works perfectly and no issue with charging, you can find it really cheap!

Sorry I thought that the biggest concern was the battery usage, and from what I saw using a simple one didn't have much battery drain (probably less than wireless) also at the moment as you said the Bluetooth is not enabled for a connection, so I don't think that you can efficiently add some headset, the only way is to connect it using the TV if it has Bluetooth capability (some smart TVs have) but you may experience some sound delay

As I said, "non convoluted work around" . So, your answer, is "No."  Okay, well maybe someone else may read my post and have a solution within the parameters I provided. We will just see. Thanks for your input.
