    If the headset has been paired with the PlayStation, turn off the Play Station before trying to pair it with your iPhone or MacBook, or turn off bluetooth on the PlayStation before trying to pair it with your iPhone or MacBook.

    it does not connect to PS4 via bluetooth. It uses flashdrive like usp thingy that plugs into playstation 4. It should connect with mac and iphone easy.

    If it doesn't pair with your iPhone when following the instructions included with the link provided, contact Sony support.

    I would if the instructions were for the headset I mentioned. Mine's SONY GOLD and not the model in instructions above. It doesn't have the power button and red or green lights. it has white, blue and burple lights and no power buttons CAPISH?

    Then find/use the instructions for YOUR headset, CAPISH?

     

    A Google or internet search is your friend, or better yet try the instructions that should be included with the product packaging.

    what do you think I am doing here, trying to get to know you? For your information I tryed Google, SONY and Youtube before posting my question here. instructions that came with the headset only refers to playstation set up and nothing else. you posted instructions for a completely wrong headset even though I gave you the correct name of the product. if you are unable to help no need to waste your time or mine with this useless junk CAPISH?!?!?

    If it's not a Bluetooth headset, how are you trying to connect it to your iOS device?  Does it have a cable or cord with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack?

    yes it does come with the 3mm jack which is what I am using to connect with my iPhone and Mac but I think this has bluetooth capabilities and should wirelessly connect to both. In case of PS4 it connects wirelessly using a USB device that plugs into PS4 with which headsets communicates. It'll be really awkward if I have to use a cord to connect with iPhone and MAC because this is a really expensive and the newest SONY headset. Just cant locate this info anywhere on the internet unfortunately nothing on google or youtube yet because this is a brand new headset that just came out about a month ago maybe even less.

    That would have been good to include with your original post.

     

    I provided instructions for pairing a Sony wireless Bluetooth headset which should not be radically different or different at all between different Sony wireless Bluetooth headset models. It makes no difference if the little lights on yours are a different color from those included with the instructions, and if yours does not include a power button, it is not a wireless Bluetooth headset.

     

    If the packaging does not include instructions for pairing the headset via Bluetooth, more than likely it is not a Bluetooth headset. If a Bluetooth headset, it would include a power button and the instructions provided for pairing a Sony wireless Bluetooth headset would apply regardless the model, CAPISH dip-****?

    If it requires a USB dongle for the wireless connection, I'd bet that it's not actually Bluetooth (rather, some other wireless protocol; much like many wireless keyboards and mice require the USB dongle for their connection).

     

    Have you actually confirmed whether it is in fact Bluetooth, such as in the User manual or Technical Specs from the manufacturer?

    It lists "Wireless Adaptor" in the list of what comes in the box, and Bluetooth is not mentioned anywhere on the page.

    That might be it. Its hard to comprehand 110 dollar headset without bluetooth capabilities but that may be it. Thats why they included a cord with a 3 mm jack on each side to be used with phone or computer. i get it now. thanks.

    Hi I came across your question and would have a late answer for you. For sure the headset doesn't work with the iphone, as it uses a basic wireless connection rather than bluetooth to receive the signal. But you can without any software installation or whatsoever use it with your Mac. Just plug in the USB dongle and set your speakers and/or mic to the Wireless Gold Headset. I'm not sure if also the VS works but stereo for sure.

    I have the exact same headset as you, and Tchompka's solution worked. I plugged the USB adapter into my Mac, went to sound, and then switched the audio output to Wireless Headset. However, you can only control the volume from the headset, not the Mac.
