First way: Connect the PS5 to a supported Bluetooth device

If your Bluetooth device is supported by Sony, you can pair your Bluetooth headphones directly with the Playstation 4. Even if there is no information from the manufacturer, it doesn't hurt to simply try the pairing.

• Turn on your Bluetooth headset in pairing mode to prepare the connection
• On the PS5, go to Settings> Devices> Bluetooth Devices

• Select the name of your headset you want to connect
• Make sure the volume is not set to silent

• If the connection is successful, you can test the audio output by starting a game

If this fails with a message "Bluetooth audio devices are not supported by the PS5" or "A connection to the Bluetooth could not be established", you can try an alternative way.

Second way: Connect the Bluetooth headset to the PS5 via cable

This variant is not actually a wireless connection, but it could be interesting for you. Instead of the radio connection, simply use the audio cable of the headphones / headset that is often included:

• Connect your Bluetooth headphones and PS5 controller with the audio cable, then turn on your headset
• On the PS5, go to Settings> Devices> Bluetooth Devices

• Select the name of your headset you want to connect
• On the PS5, go to> "Audio Devices"

• Click on "Output device" and select "Headset connected to controller"
• Make sure the volume is not set to silent

• Click on "Output to headphones" and select "Audio"
• Test the audio output on the headphones

Third way: Connect the Bluetooth headset to the PS5 using a USB adapter

It is a very easy way to connect your Bluetooth headset to your PS5. You only need a USB adapter. With this USB adapter, connect the PS5 to the Bluetooth headset as described in the following steps:

• Plug the USB adapter into the PS5 USB slot

• Turn on your Bluetooth headset
• Go to PS5 "Settings"> "Devices"> "Audio Devices"

• Click on "Output device" and select USB headset
• Make sure the volume is not set to silent

• Click on Output to Headphones and select "Audio"
• You can test the audio output by starting a game, for example

Fourth way: Connect the Bluetooth headset to the PS5 via a Bluetooth transmitter

• Turn on the transmitter
• Establish the connection between headphones and transmitter by means of pairing
• Once connected, navigate to PS5 "Settings"> "Devices"> "Audio Devices"
