The steps in the article above explain how you can connect the console to speakers using an optical audio cable or an audio extractor. Or, you can use an auxiliary cable from your controller to a set of headphones. These workarounds are required because the PS4 does not allow connection of a wireless speaker using Bluetooth.

The Playstation 4 stopped supporting most Bluetooth devices, so a Bluetooth speaker won’t connect to it and you’ll need to use one of the workarounds suggested in the steps above.

How can I use a Bluetooth speaker with a PS4?

Unfortunately, Sony doesn't allow Bluetooth speakers to be used wirelessly with your PS4. You can try connecting the Bluetooth speakers to your controller via an auxiliary cable, or you can pair the Bluetooth speakers with your TV if possible.

Question

Can headphones with 1/4" jack connect to my PS4 console?

Community Answer

There are no outputs on PS4 for 1/4", but if you want to use a pair of headphones that require this connection, then you could purchase a 1/4"-to-1/8" adapter and connect it to your PS4 controller.

How do I connect a PS4 to an older home cinema with no optical or HDMI on the receiver?

If you aren't using a PS4 Slim, you can still use the optical cable and then use an optical to RCA (component) adapter. If you have a PS4 Slim, you'll need to use the audio extractor method listed in this article.
