If your headsets are not compatible with your PlayStation 4, there’s no need to fret! This article goes through a very neat little workaround that allows you to connect and play any Bluetooth headphones for PS4, no matter how they’re designed to work. Either way, when you connect your Bluetooth headsets to PS4, your gaming will sound incredible! Here’s what you can do.
If your PS4 isn’t in a connecting mode by turning it on, you can actually run the Bluetooth device drivers through the device manager. This will allow any additional audio devices to be used with the headset. To do this, first you’ll need to boot up the PS4, then hold the CTR + X button at the same time as you open the PlayStation 4’s setup menu. This will allow the system to automatically detect and install all of the needed drivers. After you’ve done that, you can go ahead and pair the Bluetooth headsets for PS4 into a pairing mode. You can either do this while holding the button on the controller or press the left trigger + B together.
Once the device is in a pairing mode, you can go ahead and pair it with either a standard headphone jack or an optical audio port. To do so, hold down both of the PlayStation 4’s triggers at the same time. A volume control panel will appear, which is where you’ll select the controls for volume. The default setting is the controls for the TV volume. If you want to change this, you can go ahead and scroll through the options.
Next, go ahead and click the Bluetooth devices button. To connect airpods, use the PS4’s headset jack or connect optical audio through the USB port. For more options, click on the menu on the system, and you should see options like “bridge mode”, “auto detection”, “compatible devices”, and more. There are even times when you’ll be able to test your connection by connecting other wireless Bluetooth devices, such as mobile phones and netbooks. Some manufacturers bundle the devices with the system, so you can test this as well.
Now, you need to pair up your Bluetooth headphones with the PlayStation 4. First, connect the earphones to your PlayStation 4’s audio devices menu. Then go to the setup menu and select controller, and then select the right controller in the list. Keep in mind that some controllers will not work with the older games, and that newer games may not support certain controllers at all. Make sure you double check this before proceeding.
Once you’ve paired your Bluetooth headphones to the PlayStation 4, you need to configure the device. First, go to the main settings area, and select the connections option. You’ll want to pair your PS4 with a pair of earphones or a pair of speakers. The next step is to go to the sound icon, and then select the default setting. Usually holding the power button makes the device connects. If you’re not using the power button, usually holding it will not make the device connects.
You also have the choice of setting the output for the headphones to vary. If you would like the sound to be quieter when you have loud music playing, change the output volume to low. If you would like to hear better bass, change the output volume to high. This feature is usually called output volume control.
After you have done that, you are now ready to enjoy your Bluetooth headsets with your PlayStation. To connect the headset to your computer, you’ll need a USB adapter. Plug in the USB adapter and the headphones should be connected to your computer. That’s all there is to this quick setup! Enjoy your headphones with the PlayStation. Now that you know how to turn your PS4 into a media player, you can turn your computer into a media player too.
