    When I first got a PS4 and tried to connect my headset to it I was told of was unsupported. After doing some digging I found that the only supported bluetooth headsets were specifically the ones that were branded as PlayStation. This wasn’t the case with the PS3, it was just a decision Sony made in order to sell their overpriced headsets.

      Bluetooth has an audio delay that is detrimental to games. You can buy a dongle and use other headsets as well. There’s nothing nefarious here:

      I had similar, my Bluetooth headphones that I’d been using with the PS3 didn’t work on my PS4, but I think the reason given was that they didn’t support Bluetooth encryption standards or something.

      Like bro, I do not care if someone eavesdrops the audio of my Kingdom Hearts session - just give me the choice
