For me I would get a blue screen them the headset would be off. The connectivity issues affect the power or lack of from the usb so the fact your headset remains on would make me think it is likely another issue.
Anyone that receives a rev 1 can call HP support and demand a rev 2. I’ve started a thread called Reverb g2 Amd usb connectivity solved and that has a link to a Reddit post dedicated to this issue that goes into a lot of detail about getting a rev 2.
