Frequently Asked Question
Q: Will the C81-Gaming work with my headphones?
A: Yes, it works with most Bluetooth headphones and earbuds, including AirPods, Bose, and Sennheiser. However, it does NOT work with the PS5 PULSE 3D headset, PS Portal, or any 2.4GHz gaming headsets.
Q: Can I use the C81-Gaming with other devices besides PS5?
A: The C81-Gaming is designed primarily for PS5 and PS4. It does not work with Xbox, TVs, cars, cameras, projectors, printers, or as a Bluetooth receiver for speakers.
Q: Does the C81-Gaming support high-quality audio for games?
A: Yes. It supports aptX Adaptive and aptX HD for premium, low-latency audio. To enjoy these benefits, your headphones must also support the same codecs. Otherwise, sound quality and latency will depend on your headset’s capabilities.
Q: Can I use my Bluetooth headset's microphone with the C81-Gaming on PS5?
