Max and game consoles

[Dandoodle]

It's seems crazy to me that various blue tooth headphones can't work as wireless headsets for our game consoles. With the power of the series x and ps5 you think they would be able to sort something out... Feeling a bit disappointed I don't want headsets dotted around the house ?

I think bluetooth latency would ruin the experience. It's no trouble wiring to controllers as long as you don't mind paying £35 for the cable. But assuming the cost of the APM I doubt it's a prob for most.

Blame console makers for not using standard Bluetooth.

then blame apple for not including a damn cable that carries sound and mic.

Apparently the mic doesn't work then : (

No it doesn’t have the specific wiring in it. Having said that, the mic in the controller (such as the PS5) will work and given that the audio is coming through the headphones, there is no background audio to cause issues.

As such, it shouldn’t be too bad an experience. Bluetooth for gaming is not ideal because of the latency.

I’ve just had my cable delivered and via the controller on the PS5, the APM’s sound fantastic and will be perfect for late night gaming.

When everyone is in bed, my AV system does tend to keep the whole house awake and it sounds like you’re actually in a war zone when playing things like COD lol.

I’ve just started using the Max with PS5 via a Bluetooth USB dongle (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083TD9VW4). Pairing, connecting & disconnecting are easy and quick. I know that there’s technically there’s latency, but I don’t notice it (and I’m pretty sensitive to lag).
