I have never spent a lot of money on headphones, but for the first time I would like to try to spend a little more, and not only because of the brand, but also because of the features which are not entirely clear to me.

  1. Are they (the Sennheiser Accentum Plus Wireless) compatible with PS5 consoles? As far as I understand, as a general rule the only wireless headphones (via bluetooth) that work with Sony consoles are Sony’s own headphones, but I would like to know if I’m wrong.

  2. How does the multipoint technology work? I would love to be able to listen to music playing from my phone and at the same time listen to the sounds of the game I’m playing on my Steam Deck, but I don’t know if it works like that.

  3. How good is the noise cancellation? I am interested in buying them to be able to study in a noisy environment and I don’t expect it to cancel 100% of the noise but at least most of the noise.

    You can’t connect any Bluetooth audio to the PlayStation (Source: Sony). You “can” use a USB Bluetooth dongle and pair to that, but the experience isn’t great with audio latency.

      I wonder why people still stick to console usage when it’s always this kind of thing that manufacturers say. I use a DualSense with my PC and it is perfectly capable of streaming audio over Bluetooth while using the controller with little to no impact on latency. I wonder if they just use subpar Bluetooth chips or if they limit these things in the software just to make people buy their overpriced headsets.
