Playstation Portal - Adding Bluetooth audio (is it worth it?) 

This dude is freaking awesome I so wish more RU-vidrs could take a decent amount of time to do reviews and explain things.. I've done port forwarding and setting up my PlayStations IP address and used tips that help experience of the portal but not everybody is an advance user and will know exactly what to do but his directions are precise I've been sending my friends recently to your videos..

Great video, singlehandedly changed my mind about the lack of bluetooth in the portal

Hope your channel grows so far highly impressed

Pleased you’re on the scene, your explanations are clear. I find my pulse 3d ps5 head set works fine when I’m at home with the dongle connected. For Bluetooth connectivity to the portal. My biggest portal issue is latency when other devices are using my home WiFi. Very pleased with your video on how to get the best connection at home, still need to configure. Keep up the good work.

To add onto the information in this video, I recently purchased a bluetooth adapter with AptX Adaptive support (Ugreen USB Audio Transmitter) as well as some earbuds with AptX Adaptive support that have their own game mode on top of that (Soundpeats Air4 Pro). After some very heavy sales from black friday, total was about $55~. Results have been great! There is no discernible latency even when playing COD and the sound is still great quality. And the buds' game mode also solves latency for something like the Switch with its normal SBC bluetooth. But anyway, yeah. Using some earbuds/headphones with AptX Adaptive support and a transmitter like the one in this video also set to the correct codec will yield great results.

This totally makes sense! I was wondering and people keep on saying that it's a really bad thing but now I understand! Thanks!

I knew I’d get answers coming from you. Thanks

Thanks man!!!!!! You just saved me $20 I was gonna fork out on Amazon to hook my AirPod pros to it. Great explanation 👍🏾👍🏾

Another great video - thank you. I will be using the Pulse 3D in wireless mode at home (but with the dongle in PS5) and wired in other situations.

Thanks!

the delay is the bt going into battery save mode. when sound is not there. its all bt devices. even my buds to phone do it with notifications sounds. i use a 8 dollar one and have no lag after i the sound starts in game

Funny thing, I had ordered this previous of watching this video. I ordered these because I thought they were low latency. I suppose my sony buds aren’t compatible with aptx

And if you use a USB c dongle⁉️🤔 Or a complete system like the Razer as for Ps5?!😅

I think without transmitter Bluetooth would have been pretty much without latency. Every manufacturer gets this going flawlessly, like Nintendo Switch, Steam deck, Logitech gcloud. So I think it’s only about selling their overpriced earbuds… will probably also stick with the wired ones…

The soundcore vr 10 buds are lag free because they are gaming earbuds for $80. Hope that helps and I do use the dongle for my bluetooth audio

On another note, aren't your PS Portal L2 and R2 buttons sliiighlty looser (in terms of fixing them to the device) comparing to the ones in the DualSense?

Great video, but, help me figure this out. When I use AirPods and remote play on my MacBook or iPhone I get no latency…so what’s going on here?

Works but you can't use your microphone

Saw someone on Reddit recommend Airfly pro Bluetooth adapter

Have you tried the skull and co audio stick?

Color me "surprised"...Sony pulled a scummy page out of their old playbook by deliberately neglecting to optimize universal Bluetooth audio for this waste of resources so people can throw their money away on their expensive proprietary Pulse and Inzone earbuds. This thing's lack of that capability reminds me of the crap people used to settle for when the Switch lacked the same Bluetooth audio capability...until they finally released an update for it, which, to say the least, still managed to be underwhelming and not worth the wait. The fact that both devices have Bluetooth tech embedded in them, just for the company to half-ass with their Bluetooth options, is pathetic enough. If the user has to band-aid such a lazy omission of a feature on any device, that device needs to go back to the drawing board, which, in the Portal's case, is a redundant reality.

I guess this why they dont have Bluetooth

this man does not do his research, everyone don’t listen to him he is trying to make you purchase a far more expensive transmitter, at 0:45 there is a transmitter that I purchase and use on my ps portal and it’s only 6.99 or 4.89 as listed in this man’s own video , and it’s not bulky as he states , on the contrary it’s more concealed and out of the way then the one he shows in the video , I can’t even see my transmitter or feel it .
