How to Connect ANY Bluetooth Headphones or Airpods to PS5/PS4

[@Octorious]

If you're interested in PlayStation's official PS5 earbuds, check out my honest review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6iXppljfJd0idU Since the release of this guide, Creative have released both a BT-W5 & BT-W4. Both work in the same way as the BT-W3 shown in this tutorial, but support more audio codecs and better audio quality. I recommend the BT-W5, but the others work just fine and could save you some money: 🛒 Creative BT-W5 Audio Adapter: ▶ US - amzn.to/3Qq5STQ ▶ UK - amzn.to/3s27AkL ▶ Global - amzn.to/3Qq5STQ 🛒 Creative BT-W4 Audio Adapter: ▶ US - amazon.linkopener.co/kePi ▶ UK - amazon.linkopener.co/Oeep ▶ Global - amazon.linkopener.co/kePi 🛒 Creative BT-W3 Audio Adapter: ▶ US - amazon.linkopener.co/GMBk ▶ UK - amazon.linkopener.co/BIgy ▶ Global - amazon.linkopener.co/GMBk 🛒 Creative SoundBlaster Headset for ALL APTX Codec Support: ▶ US - amazon.linkopener.co/OQpv ▶ UK - amazon.linkopener.co/yDzL ▶ Global - amazon.linkopener.co/OQpv This video is also sponsored by Ugreen!

[@EndomouEnd]

Wow I've always loved ugreen products I'm glad they're finally upping the marketing

[@Octorious]

@Endomou Agreed! When they reached out to me it was exciting to see it was from Ugreen. My full setup and channel is kept together using their ethernet cables aha. You should definitely try their buds out if you don't already have them, they are on sale for even less than normal rn too, I was very pleasantly surprised by how good they are for the price.

[@Octorious]

@Scott Pilgrim yes. WH3 supports all the APTX codecs too so it works REALLY well

[@ScottPilgrimspayaccount]

@@Octorious Thanks, will try this. Had this AliExpress bluetooth connector that doesn't work at all with it. It connects but then it doesn't actually work. I thought the problem lied with the headset but suppose it's the Bluetooth controller/driver/codec on it. Thanks again :)

[@Octorious]

@@ScottPilgrimspayaccount yeah I can confirm this one will work 👍😊 You can get it with the links in the comment or description if you want to support the channel at the same time :)

[@justin2009ish]

They should release a system software update for the Bluetooth so we can use any Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth speaker they did that with the Nintendo switch :)

[@bradlewis273]

Totally agree 👍

[@bubberz]

I really don't get how this "next gen" system still has so many hoops you have to jump through to just connect anything you want to listen with.

[@bradlewis273]

The only headset I've found which works without any issues on the PS3, 4, and 5, is the "PlayStation Wireless headset 2.0"

[@BIllF02]

Yeah, it's not that hard to figure out why they don't issue an update. They want you to buy their headset or headsets that are licensed by Sony for playstation. I don't like it either but it's easy to understand

[@Game1monster]

So that we won't buy their accessories? 😁

[@SuperHacker0007]

I honestly cannot believe that the PS5 doesn't have bluetooth built in. That's just ridiculous.

[@UNKNOWN-ls6iz]

Yaaa

[@UNKNOWN-ls6iz]

I was thinking the same thing

[@CapriAlexster]

Bluetooth is built in....just not for all devices😹😹😹

[@Suddsmcduffs]

Bluetooth is built in. Just that it supports usb bluetooth devices

[@justin2009ish]

They should release a system software update for the Bluetooth so you can use any Bluetooth headphones or speakers Nintendo did that with the switch :)

I think it's a little upsetting I have an 600$ console and 200 earbuds and I still have to buy something to get them to work together. Total scam

This doesn't work with the 'TP-Link Nano USB Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter' because there's no button you can press to start pairing...

[@Naos333]

Is there any way to make it so that just voice chat audio is through bluetooth, and the game/system audio remains through the tv?

[@iiiiii1437]

Bro. If it says unsupported bluetooth device, just connect ur headphones to the tv. It even works in ps4.

[@lukethighwalker7718]

True, but then the mic on your headphones wouldn't work for gaming

[@epicstark990]

And you will get lagged Audio from your TV. Best you get a low latency wireless adapter.

Are you sure they work on ps5 ? i tried to link some ear buds using a usb Bluetooth dongle . It said Bluetooth audio not supported on ps5

[@studentofthesaviors.o.s]

Is there a way to connect four head sets to all hear one thing on a PS5 at the same time? I live in a apartment and can't play my movies loud how I'd like to. My goal was to to have me and my family all watch a movie as loud as we so choose in our headphones. However, I'm not sure if it's even possible to have us all listen to the same thing on one PS5. Any help?

[@pixeledmisha8472]

Okay, first of all thank you for this video!! My current headset gets pretty uncomfy after a some time so I thought of buying a new one. I already know that the one I have in mind isn't compatible with the PS5 unless I decide to connect it with a cable but man, I want a wireless headset... So, now my question: Do I have to use the mic adapter thing thats sent with the usb adapter in order to talk to my friends? Or will the mic on my headset work if I connect it via this method? Thanks in advance for the reply! :D

[@epicstark990]

I’m using the Bose 700’s with my ps5. Sounds great! (using the low lat Skull & Co usb c wireless adapter) But no, it won’t use the mic on the headset, but rather default to the Controller Mic.

[@ogkpopper]

I think you have to use the adapter or the mic won't work

[@berpet21]

Any idea if you can do this with Alexa Ear Buds? Specifically the newer ones? (2023 release)

[@smokiLLL]

Hi tx. But why do you still need this jack mic on the cobtroller ? The bluetooth key should work the same as a big helmet wireless earphones?

[@kingineazzy]

How up !! AirPods aren’t supported is what I’ve been getting. Did something get updated and ruined this product or what ??

Hey, I would like to know if skullcandy or Samsung Galaxy earbuds would be able to connect with any Bluetooth dongle or if there is a particular type that would need to use ?

[@Octorious]

I use the Galaxy buds myself and they connect perfectly :)

[@lordboczek]

Thanks. It's working with my kitsound ear set on PS5. ALL THE BEST

[@pequodexpress]

Does such a device have to be a bluetooth audio "transmitter," or are there some regular Bluetooth dongles that might work?

[@Octorious]

The issue with regular bluetooth dongles is you have no way to initiate the connection via the PS5 OS. The sort of dongle used in the video just finds the audio device and connects automatiaclly with no UI needed.

[@michaelphoscar7509]

This is nothing to do with you but £29 for a small USB plastic thing just feels like robbery to me. Could get a semi decent headset for that much or simple plug in in-ear earphones.

[@rodneydavis8690]

My hearing aids are BT & they connect to my phone. Can they connect to a PS5?

[@Octorious]

If they can bluetooth to a phone and the phone classes them as an audio device and not another sort of Bluetooth device, then I don't see any reason as to why they wouldn't be able to connect to the PS5.

[@divyanshbhuwalka]

I tried it with my PS5. Wanted to connect play station with JBL speakers through Bluetooth. Tried using a different (cheaper) USB Bluetooth connector but that did not work. Had to use this one. Idk why but this Bluetooth connector worked. No need to change anything in accessories settings. Just both devices in pairing mode and it's connected automatically. The experience may help someone

[@Octorious]

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm sorry to hear your other adapter didn't work :( I always make sure to thoroughly test any product before recommending them to my viewers, so I'm glad to here the ones I recommended did work for you! :D

[@fredysotelo2458]

So my cat pulled out the bluetooth transmitter for my headset. Would this work as a replacement. Bc the headset has bluetooth setting to connect to phones but doesn't work directly through the ps5s bluetooth setting.

Ingenious! Many, many thanks man!! You are awesome :D

[@Slk877]

Nice video! Can you connect two wireless headsets to one Bluetooth adapter? Thanks!

[@epicstark990]

You can with the Skull & Co usb c wireless adapter. I use with my Bose headphones and Apple AirPods. You can pair both and listen to both at the same time.

[@jurybalikov7063]

I went and bought a dongle today, but mine turned out to have no pairing button. So I found out I cannot connect earbuds. I plugged it into the laptop and paired them there using windows. Then plugged it back into PS4. But it doesn't show up in the Devices and I cannot switch sound to it. I figure out it's the wrong dongle, but how the heck am I supposed to know which dongle I need?

[@BerryStraw15]

well, it IS impossible unless you use an EXTERNAL device like that adapter. It grosses me out not being able to connect your airpods to a 800 dollar console. Even the SWITCH can. smh

With the method in the video :) As long as they support bluetooth, it'll work. You don't have to plug anything into the headset/buds.

does it reduce latency compared to pairing buds to the tv directly??

[@loopz9085]

Would this work on the Sony Inzone H9 Over The Ear Wireless Headset - White. Noise Canceling? I lost my dongle

[@Octorious]

Technically yes, but I'd recommend using the dongle when using it with the PS5 as that will support some features from the headset that standard bluetooth won't necessarily allow. You're better off contacting where you bought the headset from or Sony themselves, and asking if you can purchase a replacement dongle with instructions for pairing it to the new headset. It might end up being a case of you having to send the headset off to them and they send it you back with a working dongle.

would it work with a razer bluetooth headset?

No worries! 😊 If your device supports the aptx codecs, then you'll have literally no delay and the audio is great. If it's using any other codec when linked, then there will be the standard Bluetooth audio delay of about 1 secs, though sound quality is still great
