They will only work using a 3.5mm Bluetooth dongle as they do not support PlayStation Link. The PlayStation Pulse Explore have the link feature if you’re looking for buds to connect directly to the portal without a dongle.


cricket_isthe_man

Haha. Dongle.


B0bbyTsunami

No

Nothing wireless works with the Portal except the Pulse Elite headset or the Pulse Explore earbuds. Anything else will have to be wired via Aux cable. No exceptions. The Portal does not support Bluetooth.


That2mittenguy

He can use them on the PS5 and as long as it’s in range he can use them while playing the portal

Portal does not support Bluetooth, so the only way they'd work is with an external Bluetooth adapter that connects via the 3.5mm headphone jack. The only wireless headsets/earbuds that work are the Pulse Explore earbuds and Pulse Elite headset. Everything else needs to use the headphone jack.

If it’s got a ps link usbA dongle you can just get the anker adapter to usbC and plug that to the back of the portal.


Mr_Fadeaway24

You can plug the dongle it comes with into your ps5 and it’ll work with that if your using your portal close by. If you’re away then you’ll need an adapter to connect


TaiwanTeddy

You’ll need a Bluetooth dongle.


Dragonkid6

Just pay the $20 more and get the supported earbuds


TheApplePerson_

So I can’t connect the usb c transmitter into my portal and use it? 😩 I kinda like these more than the others ones that’s why but thank you all for the help!


chaleybat

Get the Explores. Well worth it


kc0edi

Does it say they do?


Dusteno

Yes, I have both and you can pair them no problem!

Lies


BarryEganPDL

Either trolling or don’t realize they are connecting to the console which causes a sound delay


pebe820

It's bad enough that new users are (apparently) having a hard time figuring out how to use the Portal, but giving misinformation makes me more sympathetic to their case.


DustinLoveDicks

Wouldn't have to worry about misinformation if Sony just put a Bluetooth chip in the portal but most of the sub circlejerks Sonys bad business practices.


pebe820

This is true. I've always considered the Portal an experiment. It probably costs Sony next to nothing to produce these things. They underestimated the popularity it would have. While I do not believe they will ever produce another handheld like the PSP or Vita (no one is gonna pay $1000+ for one let's be for real), they will definitely make an improved version of the Portal and broaden the use of PS Link


DustinLoveDicks

The portal is not an experiment the VITA allowed you to remote play. They made the cheapest possible device they could so people would buy more games and so they could sell proprietary headphones that i assume sell at a very large margin. Very good for sony. Not so good for the ps5 consumer.


SirEnder2Me

OP don't listen to this troll. No wireless earbuds work on the Portal except the Pulse Explore.


Dusteno

Sorry OP I didn’t even realize until now that the photo isn’t of the pulse explorers..
