As both are plug and play, there isn&#8217;t any long and unnecessary software installation to be done. Simply pair your Bluetooth headphones\/earphones with the dongle and you&#8217;ll be ready to sit back and game comfortably, without straining your eyes.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of size, Olixar has made the dongle and 3.5mm microphone adapter small and lightweight. As a result once connected you&#8217;ll barely notice that either of them are there. Additionally, the 3.5mm adapter does not hinder the use of the DualSense controller in any way.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/olixar-wireless-bluetooth-headset-dongle-for-ps5-83618?referer=BLOG&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=PS5BTOOTHDONGLE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-74287 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ps5-dongle-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ps5-dongle-2.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ps5-dongle-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ps5-dongle-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/ps5-dongle-2-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>As the Olixar Bluetooth Headset Dongle is universally compatible it will work all Bluetooth-enabled headphones, earphones and earbuds including Apple AirPods and Samsung Galaxy Buds.<\/p>\n<h3>Instructions<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Plug the Bluetooth Dongle into one of the PS5&#8217;s USB-A ports (either on the front or back)<\/li>\n<li>Press and hold down the button on the dongle.<\/li>\n<li>Wait for the Dongle to flash blue quickly, this indicates pairing mode.<\/li>\n<li>Turn your Bluetooth Headphones on and put them into pairing mode also.<\/li>\n<li>Your Bluetooth Headphones will now pair with your PS5, indicated by the solid blue light on the dongle.<\/li>\n<li>Now insert the Microphone adapter into your controller&#8217;s 3.5mm port.<\/li>\n<li>Your PS5 will now display a message confirming this connection.<\/li>\n<li>Your Bluetooth Headphones will now be fully connected, allowing you to listen and talk while you game.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Please note, to make changes to volume levels, outputs, effects etc, users will have to go through to sound settings on the PS5.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to purchase?<\/h3>\n<p>The Olixar Wireless Bluetooth Headset Dongle for the PlayStation 5 is in stock and available to purchase from Mobile Fun now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/olixar-wireless-bluetooth-headset-dongle-for-ps5-83618?referer=BLOG&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=PS5BTOOTHDONGLE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-72694 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Buy-Here-Blog-Button.jpg\" alt=\"Buy Here\" width=\"280\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Wrapping Up &amp; Recommendations<\/h3>\n<p>Thanks for reading this guide on how to connect Bluetooth headphones to the PS5.
