I was really looking forward to the Playstation Portal. However, the missing bluetooth functionalty is a dealbraker!

I already have great Sony WF-1000X. why should I buy extra headphones just for the portal? (which I then have to carry around as well…)

Now the real questions:

  1. Playstation Link should be better in terms of lag. Is the difference really this big in comparison to bluetooth?
  2. is it possible that Sony will enable bluetooth-support via a software update (or is the hardware for bluetooth missing?)

    I watched the Linus Tech Tips review and if I remember correctly, Sony are claiming it’s all to do with their proprietary streaming codec used to communicate with the PS5. It does have a 3.5mm audio jack.

      thanks, I just watchted the LTT video. I’m with Linus on this one: Sony should at least give the user the option to use bluetooth headphones.

      Moreover, the Snapdragon 662 has support for bluetooth. Why nor use it?! Just to make us buy another pair of headphones? :-(
