Use ANY Bluetooth Headphones with Sony PlayStation 5 & PS5 Digital!

- In this episode, we show you how to use practically ANY Bluetooth headphones or headset with the Sony PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital thanks to the Uberwith Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter.
One of the things that has been a head scratcher for me for a long time is Sony's determination to force consumers to use dongles to take advantage of wireless Bluetooth Headphones on their gaming systems. Dating back to the PS3, the systems used Bluetooth for other forms of communication, however they've locked Bluetooth Audio out for users. Even Sony's own excellent Gold and Platinum headphones required users to plug in a USB dongle to unlock wireless audio.
Enter Uberwith and their Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter for PS5. Designed with simplicity in-mind, for $30 this adapter plugs into the bottom of the DualSense controller via the 3.5mm headphone jack. The face of the adapter has 4 buttons on it, a Mute Button, a Pairing Button which also acts as a power button, and volume up and volume down buttons. The adapter does not tie into any headphone microphone, so as such there's a small opening on the back of the adapter to provide access to the microphone built into the DualSense itself.
One thing I did not expect, but was pleased to see, was that Uberwith outfitted the adapter with its own 200mAh battery. This means that the adapter does not draw power off of the controller itself and it will not reduce your playtime. To charge the battery, which promises 18-hours of playtime, there's a very short USB-A to USB-C cable included. It is important to note that you cannot charge your DualSense controller through this USB-C port; there are no contacts that would transfer power to the charge contacts on the bottom of the controller.
Pairing is fairly simple, whether pairing to a wireless speaker or Bluetooth Headphones. You don't even need to have the adapter plugged into your controller to pair! Simply press and hold the pairing button for a few seconds, set your speaker or headphones to pair, and within a few seconds you should be good to go! If you turn the volume up all-the-way on the adapter and you think the audio is too quiet, make sure you have the headphone volume adjusted to the max in the PlayStation 5's Menu. I did not initially and I thought the audio was too quiet. Once I fully adjusted it, the audio was considerably louder. It wasn't ear-shatteringly loud, but it was very clear, very rich, and I did not notice any lag, delay, or latency.
The fitment along the bottom of the DualSense controller was fairly good. The adapter fit well along the bottom of the controller itself, without any sharp edges or gaps to catch your skin on as you play. I feel I would like it a little more if it was a bit narrower, but overall gameplay and stick movement was not affected or inhibited by use of this adapter.
One thing I did find inconvenient was the fact that, if I was listening to streaming video to not disturb others, when the DualSense auto-powered off I lost audio output. This is where simply having integrated Bluetooth on the system would be superior, if the PS5 was powered on I should get audio, but this is not an option. Note, this is not a problem of the Uberwith adapter, more about the power saving of the PS5 and the DualSense controller itself.
Why It RoX:
Only $30
Connects to any Bluetooth Headset
Works with both PS5 & PS5 Digital
Quality sound fidelity
Separate battery power
What could be improved:
Sony could just, you know, add Bluetooth Audio like Nintendo just did
No integrated mic support
Could be narrower
Does not charge the DualSense controller
Requires the controller to be powered on to output audio
Should You Buy One?
Let's be honest here, if Sony would just do what Nintendo recently did by adding Bluetooth audio to the Switch, this wouldn't be necessary. Since it is, the Uberwith Bluetooth adapter does a good job and costs less than 1/3 of what Sony's own Pulse 3D headphones do. I prefer the fact that I can use my own existing in-ear headphones vs being forced into over-the-ear designs, and the audio fidelity is quite good. I didn't notice any added lag or latency, and I was able to play or watch video without disturbing others. The fact that it plugs into the DualSense means that if it goes into power saving I lose audio output. While not an issue while playing games, it makes this less than an ideal solution for use while streaming content.

I'll be very blunt about this review.
It was the first video I found for a product like this (I'm very sure there's a bunch of 'knockoffs' of products like this as it's a fairly common use of Bluetooth adapters). That being said, I also try to review each piece of tech I put in my house for quality standards and to make sure I'm not wasting my money on junk. Another admission I have, I didn't watch the whole video. I scrubbed through enough to finally realize this review isn't answering many, many questions I'd have of a singular particular product of this nature.
What's the range of the device? If it really is Bluetooth 4.1/2 or 5.0, you'd be able to tell by leaving your controller in the other room and closing a door and walking away.
What's the battery like? If I game for 2/3 hours each day, how often will I have to charge this thing? PS5 controllers themselves are all over the place depending on if you're playing a PS4 or PS5 game.
Is it something that you actually have used daily and can recommend others to buy for daily use? The premise for the device is absolutely outstanding, but if it has the same problem as a $5 Bluetooth adapter, why would I pay $30 for one that just happens to look pretty on my controller, but still barely works well enough to rely on like the $5 adapters?
You mention it doesn't obstruct the buttons, but obviously there's a place in the underside where your ring and pinky finger sit, that would create a 'pinch' spot that's not there without the accessory. If you have small hands, is it noticable? What if you have chunky fingers? Would it be a deal breaker because the device is so filled with empty air behind plastic that fits the aesthetic design?
Many of these questions are addressed in the write-up, read the more info section for some of your answers.
Range to me as a non-issue because, in theory, you should be within a couple feet of the controller, right? As such using it in another room is pretty unrealistic. It's not designed for you to be able to consume media with from the ps5, it's designed specifically to use during gameplay, if that makes sense.
Honestly it’s just some BS. Why does the console cost so much but they can’t make it support Bluetooth earphones? Come on guys.
I don't disagree
Cost so much?? It costs like a half video card :D.
@@mogyir it’s not free. You’re paying money for it. Stop trying to defend these companies, there is no reason this shouldn’t support Bluetooth audio accessories. They do this so that you have to buy their stupid first party gear.
@@iAdden No, you can freely use any headphones you want.
Adding Bluetooth to every controller would cost alot more than not having it. It's only 30 bucks, and if that's alot for you, then maybe expensive products should be at the bottom of you priorities list, including the ps5.
@@13Gangland what are you talking about? Bluetooth to the controller? You calling the PS5 expensive only proves my point. There should be no reason this expensive gaming console shouldn’t be able to support Bluetooth to regular earphones. Why can’t I use my AirPods or some other regular Bluetooth earphones with it? It’s just a limitation Sony placed on the device
You always could plug a Bluetooth dongle into your Playstation & use any headset you want. As long as the dongle doesn't come with a disc or requires you to download new drivers. A typical plug-in-&-go dongle will also work just fine.
I got one and the audio sucks
I never had any audio issues with this
Just came across this video, okay so I’m attempting to Bluetooth my PS5 Slim to my Amazon Echo Studio….. will this device work for my needs?
Did it work?
Is it just me or do we find it very strange that Sony still doesn't support bluetooth headphones with the PlayStation. I've been thinking about it since the release of the PS4. They sell these great ANC headphones, the PS has Bluetooth, the Controller has Bluetooth, but still they don't allow them to connect... It feels like they're forcing you to buy the PSPulse headset instead of rewarding you for buying their other much more expensive product (WH1000XM4 in my case).
The headset I have can be connected with a 3.5mm jack (but the mic won't work), it can be connected as an audio device to my Sony Android TV (but the pairing and switching from TV audio to BT audio and pairing it is a lot of trouble and there's a lot of latency), there are BT receivers available from third parties (but the mic won't work)
Has anyone found a solution yet? And do you think there'll be anytime soon they'll start supporting it?
I've searched multiple subreddits and used multiple keywords for my search but still didnt find any good posts about it, so I am sorry if I am asking a question that has been asked many times before....
Idk I got a pair of $10 sony earphones with the 3mm jack and they work pretty good (mic). I think maybe go into sound settings and check it out.
I use old s8 Samsung earbuds with mic plugged in ps5 or ps4 controller and it sounds pretty good not great and the mic i was told sounds beyond great. I think I paid$5 on Amazon. It was in bulk package cause it was cheaper this way. Not even sure how it why it works so good. I'm jus now looking into headphones only cause my nephew wants a new pair for Christmas
Does the chat audio come through the paired audio device or does it still come out of the Dualsense 5 speaker?
I saw these two days ago and I didn’t see any reviews on this product so knowing someone reviewed it is great!
Yeah, it's not too bad!
I did not expect the Bluetooth to have its own battery. I thought for sure it would use the controllers power. Like how my friend was confused/pissed when his iphone 7 did not have a headphone jack.
I can't connect them with my Airpods Pro. Do you have any idea how I can fix it?
Sorry, I don't use Airpods
None of us want wires! It’s 2021 so I completely understand. Typically I never use headphone because we have such great surround sound in our game room BUT there have been instances in certain games or certain situations (when my husband wants to play on the CRT) that this totally would have come in handy. Thanks for giving us a solid option :) Nice review
Can I connect multiple bluetooth headphones to this device?
My wife and me likes watching movies in ps5. It would be nice to use seperate headphones with 1 controller.
Did not know this video before searching for how to BT my favorite headphones (Raycons) to my PS5. Thank you!
What Raycons do you have? I have a set of E50s and E55s myself and love them
Hi, i buy the uberwith adapter but i dont know how to pai with my samsung buds 2, can anybody can help, thanks
Can i still use the mic on ps5 controller with this adapter?
I want to know too
will this method connect to bt hearing aids, why can't you connect to bt headsets/hearing aids directly from ps5, does have bt 5.2?
Sony has blocked other 3rd party bluetooth audio devices from pairing with the PS5 for... reasons. It's so dumb. I would think any BT device would pair to this.
Damn, I just bought some pulse headphones, and Sony announced the black ones as well, but I honestly think the pulse 3d headphones are worth it, especially for PS5 games. I would have def used this device with my JBL E55BT headphones.
You made this vid 2 years ago and I’m just finding this smh. Glad I ran into this video, you got my like, comment and subscribe as a thank you.
Thank you
Cant connect my airpods pro second generation it connects but it wont come any sound🙄
Dunno what to say, I've never owned airpods
Same issue… I just bought this dongle and can’t get any sound from my AirPods Pro 2… 😢
too
I think its the Bluetooth version that doesn’t works on it
@@rikudoublade8206 Interesting
This helped me out a lot Bc it takes forever to charge my headphones
Does it control the volume of the TV if nothing is paired to the Bluetooth?
It does not
Is there any button feed back going threw the mic while playing games?
Very little, I've not heard people complain about it myself
do you know if there is way to get Bluetooth headphones without using the controller, i use at pedal and wheel set and don't like to have the controller connected .
The Skull&Co AudioStick would work and it plugs into an open USB-C port
Get a dongle on eBay it just connects automatically!
I recently lost my pulse 3d dongle, can I pair it with this?
Nope, this requires Bluetooth which those are not
Is the 3D audio of the PS5 supported by this Bluetooth dongle?
I don't know to be honest. That may be something done at a hardware level on the PS5 headphones with multiple speakers in the headset.
@@RoXolid Dude, all you had to do was connect a pair of headphones and go to the setting s and see.
Is this able to pair with Airpods or Bose Headphones?
It should work with any Bluetooth headphone, so those shouldn't be an issue
will this work with lt hearing aids?
If they're compatible with Bluetooth then likely
is it compatible with dre earbuds?
Should be, I don't use them so I can't say 100%
hello just want to know will i’ll be able to do voice chat with these?
I cover this in the video, it uses the on-board mic and provides audio thru the earphones.
My favorite Bluetooth headphones are the AirPods Pro
Willl it work on my Rox headphones?
If they are Bluetooth they should
Connect Bluetooth speaker to ps5 controller so sound comes from speaker instead of the controller??
Should work
@@RoXolid Connect Bluetooth speaker to ps5 controller so sound comes from speaker instead of the controller?? Not earbuds. Speakers. Controller voices coming from speaker and ps5 sound coming from tv. Anyone else wondering if this is possible??
If you connect the speaker via a 3.5mm cable it should work
That sounds pretty damn cool. I never thought of that 1
Is this now able to connect my cheap callcenter style wireless headset and use the headsets build in mic? I want the mic close to my mouth, too, but didnt get if this will work or nah. Only want to use it for team party chat
If your headset is Bluetooth it should work, but only the headphone will work. You'll still be using the built-in mic on the controller
@@RoXolid thanks for the reply. Its Bluetooth and works this way, but i need the headsets mic to work, too. Do you know a mono headset that works? I think its most likely those with their own USB dongle, bought another headset like this and it didnt work as well, but this time different. The ps5 detects the headsets dongle as keyboard before its able to connect/pair. It should be mono because i like that better for VoiceChat.
@@ChillDans The earpiece will definitely work then, but no matter what the mic will not. This adapter is designed to use the built-in mic on the DualSense controller
@@RoXolid damn.. ok good to know. Im trying my luck now with some more expensive mono headsets that come with a dongle, like the jabra evolve 65. I simply want to use a normal mono headset in one piece, but this appears to be more tricky than it should.
Ghostek so drop 2.0 do not work with PS5 or dongles.
With that work with the dre beats pro or beats 3 ?
It should work with any BT Headphone
You had to bring up the hair gel scene XD. I’mma ask someone that :)
Dude, whenever I see Airpods I think of that scene!
I bought this thing and the audio latency was terrible
I did not experience that with my Raycons
Ironically I think that’s their excuse for not allowing 3rd party headsets … the latency
Io guardando il video l'ho acquistato ma non riesco a farlo funzionare, qualcuno mi può aiutare per favore
¿Con qué tipo de problemas se encuentra y qué auriculares está tratando de usar?
Can you use this product with other things?? Like let’s say, xbox, switch? Or just anything else that has a female 3.5 aux jack? Cuz if so that’s an instant buy for me.
Yes and no. If it physically fits it willv work, but it's molded for the Dispenser l dualsense controller. I'd you want multiple systems check out the USB C Audio Stick from Skull & Co
@@roxolid3dprinting205 The thing is, I’m looking for something with an 3.5 mm aux port that has multiple usage. For general things but also for gaming consoles, so that means it cannot have any or at least almost no latency. But idk where can I find a good one like that
Not sure, but then again I haven't really looked either.
@@RoXolid I wanna buy it today I got xbox wireless headset that Bluetooth now can u chat on headphones when pair and bring volume up and down on headset
Crazy expensive console with Bluetooth built in already, can't use earbuds like any other appliance does. Stupid
You can't use BT with the Xbox and the Switch added that feature about a year ago. It sucks, I am not a fan, but it's not uncommon.
@@RoXolid all this restrictions just for us to get over them lol
@@Zokalex I know, it's annoying
I thought the reason Nintendo was getting such black for not allowing Bluetooth headsets was because the other systems could do it?
Nope, the PS3-PS5 ALL needed a separate dongle
@@RoXolid then why did Nintendo get all the flack vs the other systems?
@@bland9876 I think part of it is due to the portable nature of the switch. Since you can take the system anywhere not having Bluetooth is a bigger issue versus a home console. And for the record, I bagged on the PS5 for not having native Bluetooth audio out of the box. It really should have
I find this to be kind of pointless if you can't use the microphone on the earbuds
The mic built into the DualSense controller is quite excellent, I have no issue with this just handling the audio output and the controller's mic still handling that.
One thing I do have against this is that it tries to pair with every other Bluetooth device in my house
Kind of wish that the dongle had a separate power button and a separate pair button
That's the nature of BT, it's going to look for any device searching for a signal
@@RoXolid the other thing is that it connected 2 devices at once which was pretty odd. Is it supposed to do that
I have a better one for you...
UGREEN Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter Compatible for Nintendo Switch Switch Lite 3.5mm Audio Adapter..
No lag. Fits perfectly on the controller and can use mics and any blue tooth.
just checked it out on amazon. Would be cool except i already have a usb C to wireless charging adpater on mine in that spot, so yeah it is gonna be a bit hard to do..shrugs
Interesting, I thought any blu tooth head phones worked on the PS5.
Nope
Nope, Sony has a history of only allowing Bluetooth devices that they bless. I think we can all read "bless" as, "Companies who make bluetooth devices which quietly paid a licensing fee to Sony, for their bluetooth devices to work with PS consoles".
This is in fact in violation of the legal terms stipulated by the Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group), for interoperability with the bluetooth specifications that they develop. According to them, *_ALL_* devices which bear their Bluetooth trademark *_MUST_* be interoperable with *_ALL_* other Bluetooth devices of the same advertised Bluetooth spec or lower.
*_MUST_* *_MUST_* *_MUST_* *_MUST_* *_MUST!_*
But of course Sony gets to be an exception for some reason.
Would we expect anything less from Sony? The company which once knowingly and wilfully distributed malware to their customers via Sony Music audio CDs? For which they loss a class action lawsuit over.
Sony has a long history of trying to screw the consumer. This is another example which is on-brand for them.
They use P5 cause using PS5 on a non Sony or affiliate product is illegal.
No, it's not.
Lol hair gel.
You'll never see EarPods the same way again
Great video, very informative. I do have a problem with your earphones of choice though.
With RAYCONS all I hear is a lot of BASS which is great if you're into DANCE/CLUB or RAP music. However for people who enjoy any other type of music including Rock & ROLL/COUNTY/JAZZ/ect, I would suggest something with better (ANY) range.
I have a set of Jabra elite. I paid about $80 more than for them but I can choose whether or not I want them to sound all Bass or I can make them sound good, it's up to me. I think it's worth $80 more.
I don't think RAYCONS are good earphones. Just because a famous guy is selling them doesn't make them good.
I primarily listen to a lot of spoken word, TH-cam, videos, talk radio. I think the RayCons are terrific for the price for those applications.
I'll also say I have no idea about RayJay or his music, I've never heard anything he's produced. I bought my first day of RayCons 4 years ago, and I've bought a set for my wife and a 2nd set in recent years.
@@RoXolid Well if you ever switch over to listening to music I strongly recommend a better set. As a musician it's painful to listen to something that has almost no Treble.
I bought a set of RAYCONS because people were pushing them heavily on TH-cam and I was very disappointed when I got them and found that every song was muffled with bass.
As you said, spoken word is fine there's no music involved. But for people who enjoy music with instruments and singing it's not that good.
You mentioned the affordability and I have an issue there because they're not that affordable. As I said you pay a few bucks more and you get a decent piece of equipment.
I think if you're going to spend that kind of money you should spend a few extra dollars and get something decent is all I'm saying.
@@HuskerFox I paid $120 for 2 sets of E55s, so yes, I did think they were affordable. And what little I have used them for gameplay I do like them, I just don't play in handheld a ton.
@@RoXolid For me it's all about the music. If it can't do music then it's no good.
@@HuskerFox And what some prefer others don't and vice versa. It's just good to have choices.
Roblox headphones
Sir, can it be use to pairing with jbl 9.1?
If it's bluetooth it should.
