2nd Pair of Barracuda x chroma Randomly shutting off.

Hey everyone, has anyone else dealt with this super annoying connection loop on the Barracudas?

I’m using them with the 2.4GHz USB-C dongle, and every 5-10 minutes, they just randomly drop. The weird part is they don't play the "Power Off" voice prompt—they just go completely silent for like 30-45 seconds. Then, out of nowhere, they boot back up with the "Power On" voice prompt and lights. They are fully charged, so it's definitely not a dead battery.

It's driving me crazy, especially when it tanks my audio mid-match in Fortnite.

Here’s what I’ve already tried to fix it:

  • Went into Device Manager and turned off the power-saving mode ("Allow the computer to turn off this device") for all my USB Root Hubs.

  • Completely killed the Razer 7.1 Surround Sound app via Task Manager.

THIS IS MY SECOND PAIR TOO
