I was really looking forward to the Playstation Portal. However, the missing bluetooth functionalty is a dealbraker!

I already have great Sony WF-1000X. why should I buy extra headphones just for the portal? (which I then have to carry around as well…)

Now the real questions:

  1. Playstation Link should be better in terms of lag. Is the difference really this big in comparison to bluetooth?
  2. is it possible that Sony will enable bluetooth-support via a software update (or is the hardware for bluetooth missing?)

    Bluetooth itself is not the problem with the layency, it’s the used codec that is optimised for music,. Latency doesn’t matter in that case. It would be easily possible to implement a low latency bluetooth that is suiter for gaming.

      LL bluetooth is still horribly bad, which is why all wireless gaming headsets skip it in favour of other setups.

      sony does their own audio codec over bluetooth - that works well, but bluetooth LL just sucks
