On certain occasions, playing the PlayStation can be a bit frustrating because those around us may not want to hear the sounds of the game. This is why most players use helmets for it. For that reason and because using headphones you get deeper and better into the game.
Supra-aural helmets are normally used, in order to have a better immersion. But you have to know that both AirPods and Pro (those with noise cancellation) can be linked to the console and thus also be able to listen, almost perfectly, to sounds and music. We will need a small accessory, yes.
Don't spend too much to play with your PlayStation and AirPods (Pro)
Before buying some cases to be able to play more intimately with your PlayStation games, in this case model 4, you should ask yourself a question. Would the AirPods (Pro) I have work for me?. The answer is yes. We are going to teach you how to pair and use them.
Then you can consider buying some special gaming cases, but first, it is best to use what we have on hand and a device for which the outlay is not comparable. The Playstation 4 alone does not support Bluetooth audio. When you try to pair them, the PlayStation 4 recognizes them as an audio device, it asks if you want to pair them before it finally alerts you that Bluetooth audio is not supported.
Fortunately, there is a relatively simple way to use your AirPods or AirPods Pro with the Play 4, thanks to AirFly:
- Connect your AirFly Pro or AirFly Duo to the headphone jack of your Dualshock 4. If you are using AirFly Pro, make sure it's in transmit mode (TX) and hold the button for four seconds until the light flashes.
- Next, with the AirPods in the box and the lid open, press and hold the pairing button on the back of the AirPods charging box until the light on the front flashes white.
- Wait for them to pair up. The AirFly will illuminate white.
Press and hold the PS button in the center of the Dualshock 4 to adjust the volume and make sure all audio is coming through the headphones. One of the biggest problems with this device is that you can listen to the chat, but you can't participate.
