How to use any Bluetooth headset with PS4
The PlayStation 4 is an awesome games console, but it does have one or two missing features. One of them is the ability to use any Bluetooth headset – you can only use a few official and licensed options. Thankfully, there’s an accessory to solve that: the PS4 Bluetooth Headset Dongle.
The FreeMe works very simply: you get a USB dongle, which plugs into the PS4, and a 3.5mm microphone, which plugs into your controller. It’s plug-and-play, with no special software required. Once inserted, you just pair your Bluetooth headphones with the dongle as normal, and you’ll be away. You can choose to have game audio piped through the headset, and/or other players in your multiplayer game or party chat.
The 3.5mm microphone is something of a marvel, with impressive sensitivity that allows it to pick up your voice without your face being near the controller – just play as you would normally. The PlayStation 4 settings menu can be used to adjust the volume of the microphone to suit your voice and environment.
Both dongle and microphone are small and lightweight; you won’t notice they’re there once installed. The small size also makes them easily portable and ensures they won’t get in the way while you’re playing with your favourite Bluetooth headphones.
Instructions
- Plug the Bluetooth Adapter Dongle into your PS4’s USB port.
- Wait for the Dongle to flash blue quickly, this indicates pairing mode.
- Turn your Bluetooth Headphones on and put them into pairing mode also.
- Your Bluetooth Headphones will now pair with your PS4, indicated by the solid blue light on the dongle.
