How to connect Bluetooth headphones to PS4

The most common device for outputting sounds when using the Play Station game console is a TV. Usually this is quite enough, since the TV allows you to enjoy your favorite games in full. But sometimes situations arise that require audio output to headphones. The headset makes using the console more comfortable, since the gameplay will not cause inconvenience to others. This is especially true if there are children in the family. The game console allows you to connect the headset in several ways.

How to connect Bluetooth headphones to PS4 via Bluetooth receiver

This connection option requires a special Bluetooth adapter. With its help, the sound received from the game console will be transmitted to the headset.

Play Station is connected to the TV with an HDMI cable. Audio and video signals are transmitted through this wire. The receiver also connects to the TV receiver, receives an audio signal from it and transmits it to the headset.

ATTENTION! Before implementing this connection option, you need to check the presence of all the necessary sockets on the TV body. If they are not available, you will need to purchase the appropriate wires.

Step-by-step connection of Bluetooth headphones:

1. The adapter must be connected to the TV.
2. Then carry out the procedure for pairing the connected products.This is done by pressing and holding the power button on the device. Typically the hold time is about 10 seconds.
3. Next, you should turn on the headset. If all the previous steps were completed correctly, the connected devices will detect each other, and the headset will begin broadcasting sound.

ATTENTION! Some TV receiver models are able to find headphones automatically. If this does not happen, you will need to make the necessary settings manually. To do this, you need to go to the settings menu and make the input to which the receiver is connected active.

When the correct output is activated, the headset will begin to play audio.
