If your TV has Bluetooth (most 4K smart TVs do), pair your headphones directly with the television. Then set your PS4’s audio to output via HDMI to the TV. No dongles, no wires—just you, the couch, and your favorite playlist from Spotify while you grind in Destiny 2.
But beware: this adds a tiny bit of lip-sync delay (about 100–200 ms). For story-driven games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or Ghost of Tsushima, it’s barely noticeable. For competitive shooters like Overwatch or Apex Legends, that delay can cost you a headshot—so stick to the dongle for your ranked matches.
Bonus: you can use your TV’s Bluetooth to switch between your PS4 and Netflix without re-pairing. It’s the multitasker’s dream—just don’t blame us if you accidentally pause your game to scroll memes.
