Skull & Co. AudioStick Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Audio Transmitter Adapter Low Latency for PS5 / PS4, Nintendo Switch/Lite/Other Devices, Optimised for AirPods/Pro - Black

Really good bit of equipment and enabled me to connect my sole AirPods to my PS5. Works well and sounds great.

As advertised, there is either minimal or no lag when using this dongle with the PS5 and AirPods Max. It all works well and it's so convenient to be able to put my pad down and just pop to the loo or kitchen without having to take my headphones off.My ONLY issue with it is that it doesn't have a power switch on it. That means if my PS5 is on sleep mode and this dongle is plugged into it, it's always going to pull connectivity from my AirPods Max because the dongle is still drawing power So to combat this I have to go to PS5 settings and turn off the setting to supply power to the USB sockets when it's off. If you're fine with that, it's a perfect!

Before I ramble, just know I never do reviews but using this bit of kit I just had to post something.I got it so I could have audio from my ps5 as opposed to a headset as I use a monitor without speakers.I turned the speaker on, fired the ps5 up and as it hit the home menu the sound came through without any set up at all.THIS is a middle finger up to Sony and I really couldn't be happier with it...

All good but than u put in in ps5 because of it’s kind of long shape it covers charging part for controller, so that part we don’t like.

This product failed to work for me based on my technology and needs. It may, however, work first time depending on your specific set-up.In this review, I discuss issues I faced while testing the AirPods Pro 2, Sony WH-1000XM3, and SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless headphones connected to the PlayStation 5 and the Skull & Co. AudioStick Bluetooth 5.0When I first connected the AudioStick to my PS5, my TV, LG G2, recognised it.I clicked to allow the TV to recognise and automatically connect to the AudioStick. This was a mistake. As a result, another app on my TV launched every time the TV detected the AudioStick.I couldn't use my PS5 because the TV app kept taking over the device after I closed it and switched sources, thanks to the AudioStick and my new settings. This quickly became a frustrating experience. This happened while the AudioStick was connected to my PS5 and not my TV.I had trouble disconnecting the AudioStick from my TV because modern TVs are like space stations with lots of buttons and settings to navigate!Once that was done, I tried to pair the Apple AirPods Pro 2 to the PS5 and the AudioStick.The PS5 recognised the AudioStick automatically. And, I could create a connection between the AudioStick and Apple AirPods 2 Pro.However, I had a serious problem trying to go back to my iPhone to listen via bluetooth. This is because the AudioStick kept control over AirPods Pro 2. This is despite multi-device compatibility. As a result, I couldn't use my AirPods or connect them with my phone. This also resulted in me having to make a call to Apple Support.I had to unpair the AirPods Pro 2 from the AudioStick before my iPhone would allow me to connect. Not what I wanted. I based my return on this outcome.However, for this review, I also ran a couple of additional tests. In case you guys have the following headsets, you may find this feedback helpful.1. WH-1000XM3Sony WH-1000XM3 to PS5These did not pair, even though I tried several times.2. SteelSeries Arctis Pro WirelessThe Artics Pro Wireless headphones paired, and the sound was good, as was the low latency. However, I purchased these headphones only for my PC gaming set up.I am likely now to buy a dedicated pair of PS5 Wireless headphones, based on 2.6Ghz, for ultra low latency, rather than rely on bluetooth.Pros- If it works for your needs, it will work well- I suspect the AudioStick will work straight out the box for many scenarios.- Latency is low, might not be low enough for COD, but I tested on Need for Speed and it sounded fine.- Very good sound, subject to headphones, but no artifacts- Good range, I was able to travel several metres with walls between me and the device with no audio dropout- Fast connection (if it works right out of the box)- Well packaged, neat foam cut-outs to organise the different connections- Product is smaller than expected, looks HUGE in the screenshots.Negatives- There are no instructions- There are no headphone compatibility charts. This shows a lack of testing. Even if they cover off the top 30 brands, it would help.- You need to have compatible headphones, not all headphones will work under a variety of set-ups- It’s not clear what the two switches at the front do. I suspect that’s to toggle/pair between different headphones if you’re fortunate to get one pair working.- The branding is black on black, making it difficult to read. It doesn’t look like the main image, which shows that the text is readable.- The A/B inputs on the front panel are difficult to read, again because of being black on black, nothing like the main image, which shows that the text is readable.- Delivery was ultra slow, over a week. I suspect this was because of a drop shipping arrangement, or the fact that they didn’t have any in stock, so you might as well by direct from China.- Once paired there is no way to turn off the purple lights on the front of the AudioStick, probably for good reason, but an option for a minimal look might be good.- £30.00 is very expensive. £20.00 would be reasonable and £15.00 would be the sweet spot.I hope you find this review helpful, let me know.

Great way of sharing sounds when running (5k and 10k trail) or watching a movie on the plane. Only used a few times but works very well and hope it lasts. Would buy another at this point

Worked perfectly for my use case. Pixel Tablet connecting to Bose QC45 and Galaxy Buds FE

Couldn’t get it to work!
