A: No, for voice chat, the microphone will not work with Bluetooth headphones. Please use the microphone on the PS5 controller for communication while gaming. This ensures the best audio quality for both game sounds and voice chat. If you prefer a setup that maintains consistent game audio while handling voice chat, consider a wireless audio solution designed for this use case, such as Aria Pro 3. 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 PULSE 3D headset, or any 2.4GHz gaming headsets. (Note: Does NOT support connecting two headphones simultaneously.) Q: Can I use the C81-Gaming with other devices besides PS5? A: It is designed primarily for PS5 and PS4. It will not work with Xbox, TVs, PS Portal, PS5 Portal, projectors, printers, or as a Bluetooth receiver for speakers. Q: Does the C81-Gaming support high-quality audio for games? A: It supports aptX Adaptive & HD for premium, low-latency audio. To experience these benefits, your headphones must also support the same codecs, otherwise sound quality and latency will vary based on your headset’s capabilities. Q: What if I have trouble pairing my headphones? A: Turn off Bluetooth on other nearby devices to avoid interference, make sure your headphones are in pairing mode, and reset both devices if needed. If using USB 3.2 ports, try the included USB extension cable to reduce interference. EASY SETUP Plug In Insert C81 into USB-C port. Press and hold the button to enter fast-flashing pairing mode.

Review: Constant Re-Pair after system reboot.. - Works very well on PS5 with very effective range capabilities, however this device needs to be re-paired with earbuds every time the system is shut down/rebooted. If you're listening to music and walk around the garden it works flawlessly with mo signal degradation and sound quality integrity is optimal. No microphone functionality on ps5 though. Review: Works great for gaming on PS5 - It works fine and there is no lag during gaming. However the sound quality is not as crisp as the creative bt-w5. ## Features - 【For PS5 Users Only】 Specifically designed for PS5 to connect Bluetooth headphones (e.g., AirPods, Bose, & more) for audio playback. For optimal voice chat experience, please use the PS5 controller microphone instead of headphone mics. - 【Premium Sound, Low Latency】 Enjoy immersive, low-latency audio with aptX-Adaptive, aptX-HD & aptX-Low Latency. Achieve clear, dynamic audio for gaming and movies with compatible headphones (e.g., Bose QuietComfort Ultra). Note: Only aptX-Adaptive or aptX-Low Latency-enabled headphones support low-latency audio. (e.g., AirPods, Bose QC45 or QC35 do not support aptX-Adaptive and may experience audio delay.) - 【Limited Mic Support】 Due to Bluetooth bandwidth limits, microphone input will not work with Bluetooth headphones. Please use the PS5 controller mic for clear voice communication. Manual settings required: PS5 Settings > Sound > Microphone > Input Device: Microphone on Controller. - 【NOT FOR 2.4GHz Gaming Headsets & Other Devices】 Not compatible with Xbox, PS Portal, keyboards, mice, controllers, PS5 Pulse 3D Headset, or 2.4GHz wireless gaming headsets. Also, cannot be plugged into TVs, car systems, projectors, or printers. - 【Easy Setup & Reliable Connection】 Plug the USB-C dongle into your PS5 and set audio output to “C81-G” once. The adapter auto-reconnects for convenience, but manual microphone setup must be performed for voice chat. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D3PTBCY5 | | Best Sellers Rank | 877 in PC & Video Games ( See Top 100 in PC & Video Games ) 1 in PlayStation 5 Adapters | | Box Contents | C81-Gaming Adapter, USB-C to USB-A extention cable | | Brand | Avantree | | Brand Name | Avantree | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Gaming Console | | Compatible devices | Gaming Console | | Connector Type | USB Type A, USB Type C | | Connector type | USB Type A , USB Type C | | Country of Origin | China | | Current Rating | 0.5 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,226 Reviews | | Item Dimensions | 26 x 14 x 7 millimetres | | Item Weight | 10 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 26 x 14 x 7 millimetres | | Manufacturer | Avantree | | Manufacturer Part Number | BTDG-C81-G | | Model Number | BTDG-C81 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Product Finish Type | Matte | | Product Warranty | Warranty - 24 months (product registration to cover first 12m return shipment cost) | Extensive Support: Chat, Email, Phone, Online Clinic, Video Tutorials, FAQ and Registration - avantree.com/support | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | Wireless audio transmission from gaming consoles like PS5 to Bluetooth headphones or earbuds, such as AirPods. | | Specific uses for product | Wireless audio transmission from gaming consoles like PS5 to Bluetooth headphones or earbuds, such as AirPods.

To a little doing and I had to turn off every Bluetooth device in my house the first time to get them to connect but once they connected that first time they auto connect every time after.
