Abstract

THE BAD NEWS: THEY'RE NOT COMPATIBLE Recent PlayStation consoles don't work natively with Bluetooth audio devices (outside of Sony's own PlayStation headsets), and neither do Xbox consoles. The PlayStation consoles generally support USB audio, but Xbox consoles do not (outside of specially licensed third-party USB headsets). THE GOOD NEWS: THERE ARE WORKAROUNDS What you're going to have to do is output audio via some other supported method to a Bluetooth dongle - something that takes audio input from some outside source and transmits it via Bluetooth.
