Razer Headphones Now Compatible With Playstation 4

Sound quality is pivotal for an optimal gaming experience. Whether it's pinpointing enemy footsteps in a high-stakes firefight or losing yourself in the sweeping orchestral score of an epic narrative, a premium headset can make all the difference. Razer headphones, renowned for their superior audio fidelity and ergonomic design, are a favorite among gamers. But how do you seamlessly connect them to your PS4 console? This guide provides step-by-step instructions for both USB and 3.5mm audio jack connections.

The PS4 offers multiple ports to accommodate different headset types: three USB 3.1 Gen.1 ports and a 3.5mm AUX port on the controller. Below are the two primary connection methods.

For Razer headsets with USB connectivity, this plug-and-play approach is often the most straightforward:

1. Step 1: Insert the headset's USB connector into any available PS4 USB port.
2. Step 2: Navigate to "Settings" > "Devices" > "Audio Devices" on your PS4.
3. Step 3: Set both "Input Device" and "Output Device" to your Razer headset. If the model isn’t detected, restart the console.
4. Step 4: Under "Output to Headphones," select "All Audio" to route game sounds and voice chat through the headset.
5. Step 5: Adjust volume levels via the PS4 settings or headset controls.

For wired Razer headsets with a 3.5mm jack, follow these steps:

1. Step 1: Plug the headset directly into the AUX port on your PS4 controller.
2. Step 2: Access "Settings" > "Devices" > "Audio Devices."
3. Step 3: Assign both input and output devices to "Headset Connected to Controller."
4. Step 4: Use the controller’s volume buttons to adjust audio levels.

• Compatibility: Some Razer models may require firmware updates. Check the manufacturer’s website for support.
• Audio Customization: Explore PS4’s sound settings to optimize output quality for your headset.
• Microphone Setup: If voice chat isn’t working, verify the mic is enabled in both system and in-game settings.

With these configurations, your Razer headset will deliver the immersive audio performance it’s engineered for, elevating your PS4 gaming sessions.
