One of the questions that most ask us when we review bluetooth headphones is if they are compatible with the Play Station 4, so in this post we will address some options that players can use to connect bluetooth headphones to this Sony console.
Before starting, we will indicate the scope we can have with these options, the first is simply to receive the audio of our games on the headphones and the second is to use them as bluetooth handsfree for online multiplayer games
Audio separator and bluetooth transmitter
Our first option is to take the audio directly from the console and send it to our bluetooth headphones, for this we will use an HDMI audio splitter, which is connected to the console as we see in the following image
If you want to know more about this separator, we share the Amazon link, in fact the image we are taking from the publication in the store.

Now, in the scheme, instead of connecting some speakers, what we are going to do is connect a bluetooth audio transmitter. At this point it is important to note that not all bluetooth audio adapters are transmitters, some are just receivers, in this case, we suggest this JETech model that fulfills both functions.

Once everything is connected, we can connect our headphones by bluetooth and listen to the audio of the game.

Bluetooth audio adapter for PS4
A less complicated option is to use a special bluetooth adapter that connects to one of the USB ports of the PS4 console, with the plus that it has a microphone that can be connected to the control of the PS4 in case our hearing aids are not hands free
As we can see, this is the most convenient option to use, to have the entire multiplayer experience online. We share the link to the Amazon publication.

Sony compatible hearing aids
Obviously, the PS4 is compatible with Sony and Sony handsfree headphones that have been designed for the PS4, in fact an adapter similar to the one discussed above is sold by Sony with the Wireless Stereo Headset for PlayStation 4, Gold

Likewise, Sony's Pulse models, with their respective Sony adapter, are compatible, but as we have read in several forums, the audio quality in Sony's hearing aids is not the best that can be asked, which is why the Most players precisely seek to connect bluetooth headphones with better audio quality.
Bluetooth transmitter in the gamepad
One more option we have is to connect the bluetooth transmitter of JETech that we mentioned previously connected directly to the audio connector of the game control of the PS4, although it will not give us the option of hands-free, we will have the audio easily and quickly.
The decision on which option to take will depend on what each player is looking for, whether it is having the entire gaming experience or just enjoying the incredible soundtracks of the latest generation games and obviously of whatever budget is available.
