Google Stadia controllers would not work with Bluetooth headsets at launch, rather they would connect directly to the Stadia server using Wi-Fi to help with the problem of lag while gaming.

"The Stadia controller comes with a headphone jack for wired audio, but won't support Bluetooth audio at launch in November. If you're playing on the computer or a Pixel phone you can connect the BT headset to it directly and use it in Stadia," Andrey Doronichev, Stadia Product Director, wrote on social news site Reddit AMA.
