9 Best PS Audio in 2026

You finally set up your PS5 in the living room, only to realize your soundbar won’t play audio through the TV. Or you want to use your wireless Bluetooth headphones with your PS4, but the console doesn’t support it. Maybe you’re digging out your old PS2 to replay classic games, and the AV cable has gone missing. Audio on PlayStation consoles has always been a bit of a puzzle: different generations use different connectors, wireless standards shift, and the gap between what you own and what your console supports can be frustrating. That’s where this roundup of the best PS audio accessories comes in. We’ve gathered nine products that solve specific audio problems for PlayStation users, from modern wireless adapters to legacy video cables and even a streaming mixer. Some products are essential for getting sound out of your console the way you want; others are niche tools for streamers or retro gamers. But every one of them has a clear job, and we’re going to tell you which does it best.

TL;DR: The UGREEN Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter is the best way to add Bluetooth audio to PS5 and PS4, with low latency and plug-and-play setup. The OREI 8K Audio Extractor is the top pick for routing HDMI audio to an older sound system or soundbar. The ienza Aux Audio Cable is the simplest fix if you lost the dongle for your Pulse 3D or Gold headset. For retro consoles, the Tomee S-Video Cable gives noticeably better picture than standard composite.

How We Picked

• Wireless audio support for modern consoles: PS5 and PS4 do not natively support Bluetooth headphones. An adapter must handle audio and mic simultaneously, with low enough latency for gaming.
• HDMI audio routing and compatibility: If your TV lacks ARC or eARC, or you want to send audio to an older receiver, an audio extractor must pass through 4K120 HDR without losing signal or adding lag.
• Cable quality and length for retro consoles: Composite and S-Video cables vary in shielding, connector fit, and length. A longer cable gives flexibility, but poor shielding introduces noise. We looked for reliable connectors and adequate length (at least 6 ft).
• Headset cable compatibility and microphone pass-through: For the ienza cable, the headset’s mic must work in wired mode. The cable must carry both audio and mic signals over a single 3.5mm TRRS plug.
• Audio format support and latency: For extractors, support for Dolby Digital, DTS, LPCM 7.1, and low-latency transmission matters. For Bluetooth adapters, aptX Low Latency makes a real difference.
• Ease of use and setup: No driver installation, no external power (for USB adapters), and clear labeling help avoid frustration. Plug-and-play is a priority for most users.

1. UGREEN Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter: Best for Wireless Audio

Pros

• Truly plug-and-play; no drivers or software needed
• Supports aptX Low Latency, which makes audio lag nearly imperceptible
• Works with PS5, PS4, Switch, PC, and Mac
• Comes with a separate 3.5mm microphone for voice chat on consoles

Cons

• Only transmits audio; does not handle data or files
• Bluetooth range is around 30 feet, but obstacles can reduce it
• The included microphone is a wired add-on, not integrated into the adapter

Best for: Anyone who wants to use their favorite Bluetooth headphones or earbuds with PS5 or PS4 without buying a dedicated gaming headset.

If you own a PS5 or PS4 and have ever wished you could just pair your AirPods or Sony WH-1000XM5 with the console, the UGREEN adapter is the simplest answer. It plugs into any USB port on the console, and after a moment it’s in pairing mode. Your headphones see it as a standard Bluetooth device, and that’s it. The adapter uses Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX Adaptive and aptX HD, which drops latency to under 60ms. That’s fast enough that you won’t notice the lip-sync issue that plagues standard Bluetooth audio.

One clever detail: UGREEN includes a small wired microphone that plugs into your controller, so you can still use voice chat. The adapter itself only handles audio output from the console, not the mic input. The mic cable is thin and unobtrusive, and it works for both PS5 and PS4. On PC, the adapter automatically switches between music and talk modes for conference calls.

The only real limitation is that the adapter is an audio transmitter, not a receiver. It sends audio from your console to your headphones. You cannot use it to stream music to the console or transfer data. Also, the Bluetooth range is typical for a USB dongle: about 10 meters in open air, but walls will reduce that. For most living room setups, it’s fine. If you sit far from the console, keep the adapter on an extension cable near your seat.

2. OREI 8K Audio Extractor: Best for HDMI Audio Routing

Pros

• Passes through 4K120 HDR with HDMI 2.1 features (ALLM, VRR, HDR10+)
• Extracts audio to both optical SPDIF and 3.5mm analog
• Compact metal enclosure that dissipates heat well
• Supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X pass-through via HDMI

Cons

• Does not support eARC, only ARC
• Volume cannot be controlled via TV remote
• Requires an external power supply (included)

Best for: Gamers who want to send PS5 or Xbox audio to an older AVR or soundbar that lacks HDMI 2.1 input, without sacrificing video quality.

The OREI is the most capable HDMI audio extractor on this list for high-end setups. It handles 48Gbps FRL bandwidth, which means it can pass 4K at 120Hz with full HDR metadata. If you have a PS5 and a gaming monitor that only has a single HDMI input, you can run the PS5 into the OREI, then output video to the monitor and audio to a separate soundbar or DAC. It supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X pass-through over HDMI, and LPCM 7.1 for uncompressed audio.

The downside is the ARC limitation. ARC can send TV audio back to the extractor, but it cannot carry the full bandwidth of eARC. That means if you want to play PS5 games with uncompressed LPCM 5.1, you will not get that over ARC. You need to connect the PS5 directly to the extractor’s HDMI input and output to the display. For most people, that’s the setup anyway.

The build quality is solid. The metal case feels durable and dissipates heat from the chipset. The package includes a universal power supply with interchangeable plugs. Setup is straightforward: plug in the source, the display, and the audio output. No configuration needed for most cases. One annoyance: the remote (included) cannot control volume through the HDMI ARC channel. You have to adjust volume on the soundbar or receiver itself.

3. ROFAVEZCO HDMI 2.1 Audio Extractor: Best with Input Switching

Pros

• Two HDMI inputs with automatic switching
• Supports 8K60 and 4K120 with VRR and ALLM
• Outputs SPDIF optical (5.1) and 3.5mm stereo
• HDCP 2.3 compliant

Cons

• Does not support 1-in-2-out or bidirectional switching
• Requires a high-quality HDMI 2.1 cable (10 ft or shorter recommended)
• No eARC support

Best for: Households with multiple consoles (e.g., PS5 and Xbox Series X) that share one TV and one soundbar.

This extractor from ROFAVEZCO does the same job as the OREI but adds a second HDMI input. You plug your PS5 and Xbox into the two inputs, and the extractor automatically switches to whichever is powered on. It supports 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz, with VRR and ALLM passed through. For audio extraction, you get optical Toslink for 5.1 surround and a 3.5mm stereo jack.

The auto-switching feature works well in practice. No need to manually press a button; the extractor detects the active source and switches. It supports both SPDIF and 3.5mm simultaneously, so you could feed a soundbar and headphones at the same time.

The main caveat is cable quality. ROFAVEZCO explicitly recommends a certified HDMI 2.1 cable shorter than 10 feet. If you use an older cable, you may get no image or intermittent dropouts. That’s true for any HDMI 2.1 device, but it’s worth noting. The unit itself is compact and runs cool enough. It does not support eARC, so you are limited to ARC for audio return from the TV. But as an input switcher and audio breakout, it’s a neat two-in-one solution.

4. ienza Aux Audio Cable: Best for Pulse 3D and Gold Headsets

Pros

• Designed specifically for Pulse 3D, Gold, and Platinum headsets
• Carries both audio and microphone over one 3.5mm TRRS connection
• 6 ft (72 inches) long, enough to reach from couch to controller
• Works with PC, Mac, smartphones, and Xbox as well

Cons

• No mute or volume controls on the cable
• Only works with headsets that have a 3.5mm jack; not compatible with wireless-only models
• The connector is straight, not angled, which can be awkward with some headset ports

Best for: Anyone who lost the wireless dongle for their Pulse 3D or Gold headset and wants to use it wired with their PS5 or PS4 controller.

Check current price on Amazon →

The ienza aux cable is a simple, targeted product. It exists because the PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset and Pulse 3D headset rely on a USB dongle for wireless audio. If that dongle gets lost or breaks, the headset becomes useless — unless you have a 3.5mm cable. This cable plugs into the headset and into your controller, restoring both game audio and chat microphone.

The cable works with the PS5 Pulse 3D, PS4 Gold Wireless Stereo Headset, and the Platinum Wireless Headset. It also works with any device that has a 3.5mm combo jack, so you can use your PlayStation headset with a PC, laptop, or phone. The length is generous at 72 inches, which gives you enough slack to rest the controller on your lap.

There is no inline remote, so you cannot mute the mic or adjust volume from the cable. You’ll need to use the controller’s mute button and the console’s audio settings. That is a minor inconvenience given the price. The build quality is decent: braided nylon jacket over the cable, gold-plated connectors. It feels sturdy enough for daily use. For the specific purpose of resurrecting a bricked headset, this cable is unbeatable.

5. Tomee S-Video AV Cable: Best Picture for Retro Consoles

Pros

• S-Video provides noticeably sharper image than composite on PS1/PS2
• Color-coded connectors for easy setup
• Works with PS1, PS2, and PS3
• Durable connector housing

Cons

• Only S-Video and composite; no component video
• Cable is short (approx. 6 ft) compared to some composite cables
• S-Video does not carry audio; you need separate RCA audio cables (included)

Best for: Retro gamers who have a TV or capture card with S-Video input and want better clarity than composite.

Check current price on Amazon →

If you are playing PS1 or PS2 games on an older CRT or a TV with S-Video input, the Tomee cable will give you a visibly cleaner image than the standard composite cables that came with the console. S-Video separates luminance and chrominance, eliminating the dot crawl and color bleeding that make composite look fuzzy. For games like Final Fantasy VII or Gran Turismo 3, the difference is substantial.

The cable includes both an S-Video connector and the standard red/white RCA audio cables. You need to plug both into your TV. The video signal goes through S-Video, and the audio through RCA. The cable is compatible with PS1, PS2, and PS3 (though PS3 also supports HDMI, so S-Video is only useful if you’re using component or composite for some reason).

The downside is the cable length: about 6 feet. That is enough for most setups, but if your console is far from the TV, you might need an extension. The S-Video connector fits snugly and does not wobble. For purists who have a Sony PVM or a Trinitron, this cable is a better choice than the generic composite ones.

6. MUZHI PS2 AV Cable: Best Basic Composite Replacement

Pros

• 8.2 ft length gives plenty of slack
• Copper wire inside for reliable signal
• Compatible with PS1, PS2, and PS3
• Easy plug-and-play; no settings needed

Cons

• Output is standard composite; no S-Video or component
• The connector housing is all plastic, feels cheap
• No extra shielding, so you may see interference near other electronics

Best for: A straightforward replacement cable for PS2 or PS3 when you just need a working composite connection.

Check current price on Amazon →

The MUZHI cable is the longest composite cable at 8.2 feet. If your retro console sits across the room from the TV, this cable gives you the reach you need. It supports PS1, PS2, and PS3 (early models with the A/V multi-out). The three RCA connectors are color-coded, and the cable feels flexible enough to route behind furniture.

Image quality is typical composite: soft, with some artifacting on text and fine details. That’s not the cable’s fault; it’s the limit of the format. For PS2 games, you are seeing 480i at best. If you want better, you need S-Video or component. But for a bare-bones connection to get your console up and running, this works.

The build is simple but functional. The plastic connector housing on the console side is thin, so handle it carefully. The RCA plugs are gold-plated on paper, but they fit securely. One complaint: the cable does not have a ferrite core or heavy shielding, so it can pick up noise if coiled near power cables. Keep it separate. For the purpose, it gets the job done without fuss.

7. TENINYU Audio Video RCA Cable: Budget Retro Cable

Pros

• Very compact and lightweight
• 6 ft length is sufficient for most setups
• Compatible with PS1, PS2, PS3
• Affordable

Cons

• Short compared to the MUZHI cable
• Composite only; no improvement over standard cables
• RCA plugs are not gold-plated (standard nickel)

Best for: A no-frills backup cable for a PS2 or PS3 that you rarely move.

Check current price on Amazon →

The TENINYU cable is nearly identical to the MUZHI in function but shorter and slightly cheaper. It does the same job: connect your PS1/PS2/PS3 to a TV via composite video and stereo audio. The cable is 6 feet long, which is standard. The connectors are not gold-plated, but that rarely matters for composite.

Picture quality is par for the course. The cable works, and it’s fine if you only need a temporary or secondary connection. The cable jacket is rubbery and can tangle if you aren’t careful. The console-side connector is similar to the MUZHI: all plastic, but it fits securely and doesn’t feel loose.

For someone who wants the cheapest way to play PS2, this works. But be aware that you are getting the same composite video quality as every other cable. There is no step-up in clarity. If you have a modern TV with analog inputs, you will likely be disappointed by how soft the picture looks. That’s the nature of 480i composite, not the cable. For a quick hookup, it does the job.

8. Herfair AV Cable for PS2/PS1: Reliable with Good Warranty

Pros

• 5.9 ft length, slightly longer than some budget cables
• Includes an 18-month warranty and return policy
• Compatible with PS1, PS2, PS3
• Clear labeling on connectors

Cons

• Composite only; no S-Video or component
• The cable is a bit stiff out of the box
• No ferrite core for noise reduction

Best for: Those who want peace of mind with a warranty and a cable that performs predictably.

Check current price on Amazon →

Herfair’s cable is distinguished mostly by its warranty and customer promise. It’s a straightforward composite cable that works with all three legacy PlayStation consoles. The connectors are standard RCA: yellow for video, red and white for audio. The cable is 5.9 feet, which is enough for typical setups.

The build feels a bit more substantial than the cheapest cables. The connectors have a slightly thicker housing, and the wire gauge is acceptable. The cable jacket is matte black and resists tangling moderately well. It does not include a ferrite core, so if you have interference, you may need to reroute the cable.

Herfair offers an 18-month replacement warranty, which is generous for a cable. If the connector breaks or the wire frays, they will replace it. That gives you a reason to choose this over the other budget cables. In daily use, there is no difference in picture quality. But if you want the cable to last and have support if it doesn’t, this is a solid pick.

9. Glomtheia Gaming Sound Board: Best for Streamers

Pros

• Integrated voice changer with multiple effects (male, female, robot, monster, etc.)
• Combo XLR/1/4 inch input for condenser or dynamic microphones
• On-the-fly sample recording and playback
• Side-chain compression automatically ducks background music when you speak

Cons

• Learning curve for all the controls and software routing
• Does not support USB microphone input; only XLR or 1/4 inch
• The voice changer effects sound a bit gimmicky for serious podcasting

Best for: Streamers on PC, PS4, or PS5 who want a single box for mic audio, voice effects, and soundboard samples.

Check current price on Amazon →

The Glomtheia is different from everything else on this list. It is not a cable or an adapter; it is a full audio interface and soundboard designed for gaming streamers. It connects via USB to PC, PS4, or PS5 and handles microphone input, headphone monitoring, and playback of prerecorded samples. It also includes a voice changer with six presets: male, female, baby, elder, robot, monster. These are fun for goofy Twitch streams but not realistic enough for narration or professional work.

The hardware has physical sliders for microphone volume, headphone volume, line in, and line out, each with a mute button. The side-chain function automatically lowers your game or music volume when you speak, which is a neat trick for streamers who don’t want to manually adjust levels. The onboard sample recording lets you capture up to a few seconds of audio and trigger them with a button.

The main trade-off is complexity. The Glomtheia requires you to route audio through a computer or console’s USB audio class driver. For PS4 and PS5, you plug it in and the console recognizes it as a USB audio device, but you have to set the input and output in the system settings. It works, but it’s not plug-and-play in the way a simple headset is. The XLR preamp is clean enough for a budget dynamic mic like a Shure SM58, but it won’t rival dedicated audio interfaces. For a streamer who wants everything in one box, it is a versatile and affordable option.

Buyer’s Guide: How to Choose PS Audio Accessories

When shopping for PS audio accessories, you are usually trying to solve one of three problems: adding wireless audio to a console that lacks Bluetooth, routing HDMI audio to an older system, or fixing a missing or broken cable for a retro console. Knowing which product fits which situation saves you time and frustration.

Bluetooth Adapters: Latency and Microphone Support

The PS5 and PS4 do not natively support Bluetooth headphones for game audio and chat. They only support their proprietary wireless headsets or wired USB dongles. A Bluetooth adapter like the UGREEN sidesteps this by plugging into the console’s USB port and transmitting audio to any standard Bluetooth headset. The key spec to look for is low latency. Standard Bluetooth has around 200ms of delay, which makes lip-sync and in-game audio feel off. Adapters that support aptX Low Latency or aptX Adaptive bring that down to 40–60ms, which is acceptable. Also check whether the adapter allows microphone input. Most adapters are transmit-only; the UGREEN gets around this by including a separate wired mic that plugs into your controller. If you need wireless chat, you need an adapter that supports both directions, which is rare. Alternatively, you can use a headset with a 3.5mm connection to the controller, as the ienza cable does.

HDMI Audio Extractors: Bandwidth and ARC vs. eARC

If your TV lacks ARC or eARC, or you want to send audio from your PS5 to a soundbar or AVR that only has optical input, you need an HDMI audio extractor. The critical factor is bandwidth: the extractor must pass through the video signal you need. For PS5 and Xbox Series X, that means 4K120 HDR with HDMI 2.1 features (VRR, ALLM, HDR10+), which requires 48Gbps FRL. The OREI and the ROFAVEZCO both support this. A cheap HDMI 2.0 extractor will limit you to 4K60. Also consider eARC vs ARC. ARC can only carry compressed 5.1 audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) when using the TV’s internal apps or ARC return. eARC supports uncompressed LPCM 5.1/7.1 and object-based formats like Atmos. If your soundbar supports eARC, you are better off using that rather than an extractor, but if you need to route audio from the console directly, an extractor is necessary.

Retro AV Cables: Composite vs. S-Video vs. Component

For PS1, PS2, and early PS3 consoles, the standard video output is composite (yellow RCA), which mixes luma and chroma into one signal. That produces a soft, artifact-ridden image. S-Video separates the two, giving a sharper picture with less color bleeding. Component (red/green/blue RCA) is even better, but requires a console that supports it (PS2 and PS3 do) and a TV with component inputs. The Tomee S-Video cable is the best choice on this list for picture quality among the cables we cover. If your TV has component inputs, look for a component cable instead. For composite, any of the three cables (MUZHI, TENINYU, Herfair) will give identical quality; choose based on length and warranty.

Headset Cables: TRRS Compatibility

If you need a wired cable for a PlayStation headset, ensure it is a 3.5mm TRRS (tip-ring-ring-sleeve) plug that carries both stereo audio and microphone. The ienza cable is specifically wired for the Pulse 3D, Gold, and Platinum headsets. Generic aux cables often only carry stereo audio without mic. Also check the orientation of the microphone channel; some headsets use a different wiring standard (CTIA vs OMTP). The ienza cable uses the CTIA standard, which is the same as most smartphones and PlayStation controllers. If you try a different cable and the mic doesn’t work, that’s the likely reason.

Audio Interfaces for Streaming: USB Connectivity and Controls

For streamers who want to use a professional microphone with a PlayStation console, the options are limited. The Glomtheia works as a USB audio interface for PS4 and PS5, accepting XLR microphones. Most standard USB microphones (Blue Yeti, etc.) work natively with consoles, but they lack the real-time controls and voice effects that a hardware soundboard provides. When choosing a soundboard, look for low latency monitoring (zero-latency headphone output), physical fader controls, and compatibility with the console’s USB audio class. The Glomtheia handles that, though the voice changer and sample features are extra. If you don’t need those, a simple USB interface like a Focusrite Scarlett will work with PS5 for XLR mics, but you lose the side-chain and sound effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Bluetooth headphones with PS5?

The PS5 does not support Bluetooth audio natively for gaming and voice chat. You can pair Bluetooth headphones via the console’s Bluetooth settings, but they will only work for media apps, not for games or party chat. To use any Bluetooth headset for gaming, you need a USB Bluetooth adapter like the UGREEN. That adapter transmits audio from the console to your headphones and can be paired with the included mic for chat.

How do I get sound from my PS5 to an older soundbar that only has optical input?

You need an HDMI audio extractor that supports HDMI 2.1 and outputs optical SPDIF. Connect the PS5 to the extractor’s HDMI input, then run an optical cable from the extractor to your soundbar. The extractor strips the audio and sends the video to your TV. The OREI and ROFAVEZCO extractors both do this. Make sure your extractor supports 4K120 HDR passthrough if you have a modern TV.

Can I use a PS2 AV cable with a modern TV?

Yes, if your TV still has composite (yellow/red/white) RCA inputs. Many modern TVs have removed these, so you may need an RCA-to-HDMI converter. The composite cable from MUZHI, TENINYU, or Herfair will plug into the converter, which then feeds HDMI to your TV. Expect soft picture quality because the PS2 outputs 480i composite. For better quality, use component cables if your TV supports them, or use a RetroTINK upscaler.

Does the ienza cable work with the PS5 Pulse 3D headset?

Yes. The ienza cable is specifically compatible with the PS5 Pulse 3D headset. It plugs into the headset’s 3.5mm jack and into your controller, allowing both audio and microphone to work in wired mode. This is useful if you lost the USB dongle or want to save battery.

Will the OREI audio extractor work with my Xbox Series X?

Yes. The OREI supports HDMI 2.1 with 48Gbps bandwidth, so it works with Xbox Series X and PS5. It passes through VRR, ALLM, and HDR. Note that the Xbox can output Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, which the OREI will pass through via HDMI or optical (as compressed Dolby Digital).

Can I connect an XLR microphone directly to the Glomtheia without a mixer?

Yes. The Glomtheia has a combo XLR/1/4 inch input that accepts both condenser and dynamic microphones. It provides 48V phantom power for condensers. You plug the mic directly in, and the soundboard handles gain, monitoring, and effects. It connects to PC, PS4, or PS5 via USB.

Why does my PS2 game look bad on a modern TV even with a new cable?

PS2 games output at 480i interlaced, which modern HD TVs do not handle well. Composite and S-Video cables still send that same 480i signal. The deinterlacing in modern TVs introduces lag and blur. For a sharper image with less lag, use an upscaler like the RetroTINK 5X or the OSSC, which convert the signal to 480p or higher with proper deinterlacing. A cable alone will not improve that.

Final Verdict

The best PS audio accessory for you depends on the specific gap in your setup. If you want to use Bluetooth headphones with a PS5 or PS4, the UGREEN Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter is the most polished solution: low latency, easy setup, and a workaround for voice chat. If you need to route HDMI audio from a console to an optical soundbar or receiver, the OREI 8K Audio Extractor is the most reliable at high resolutions. For a lost headset cable, the ienza Aux Audio Cable is the exact fix. And for retro gamers, the Tomee S-Video Cable gives the best picture among the legacy connections we tested. Streamers should look at the Glomtheia Gaming Sound Board if they want voice effects and XLR support in one box.

No single product covers every audio situation, but these nine handle the most common pain points. Start with the problem you have right now, and pick the accessory that solves it. You can always add another later.
