I’m trying to use my Bluetooth headphones with my PS5 but it’s not connecting. Is there a proper way to do it, or does Sony block normal Bluetooth headphones? Would appreciate any working solution.

PS5 doesn’t properly support most regular Bluetooth headphones directly because of latency limitations, so usually you need a USB Bluetooth adapter/transmitter.
Ways to connect:
Plug a Bluetooth USB adapter into the PS5
Put your headphones in pairing mode
Go to Settings → Sound → Audio Output and select the adapter/headphones
If you have supported wireless gaming headsets (like Sony Pulse), they connect through their own USB dongle automatically.
You can also use a TV’s Bluetooth if your TV supports it:
PS5 → TV via HDMI → TV connects to headphones
Another option is using the PS Remote Play app on phone/PC and connecting headphones to that device.
Regular Bluetooth pairing from PS5 settings usually won’t detect normal earbuds/headphones like AirPods directly.
