Avantree C81-Gaming Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter
Product description
This USB-C Bluetooth 5.3 audio adapter for PS5 solves the common headache of connecting modern wireless headphones to the console. It focuses on delivering better audio quality and lower latency for gaming and movies, while guiding you through a quick setup and a specific mic workaround.
Plug it into the PS5 and enjoy clearer game sound with compatible aptX headsets. The adapter targets players who want wireless listening without wires getting in the way of immersion. USB-C simplicity meets targeted compatibility for a smoother audio experience.
If you need voice chat, use the PS5 controller mic as directed, if you prefer integrated headphone mics you may face limits due to Bluetooth bandwidth.
Key takeaways
The Avantree C81-Gaming is built specifically for PS5 owners who want to use Bluetooth headphones for game audio. Avantree C81-Gaming supports aptX Adaptive, aptX-HD and aptX Low Latency for improved sound fidelity when paired with compatible headsets. Note that microphone input over Bluetooth is not supported, so voice chat requires selecting the controller microphone in PS5 settings. The adapter reconnects automatically after the first pairing, which helps keep sessions uninterrupted. For some popular models like AirPods and certain Bose sets that do not support aptX, you may notice audio delay, according to the manufacturer. 🎧

Who it’s for
You’ll appreciate it if you want wireless game audio on PS5 without extra base stations or dongles, if you already own aptX-capable headphones and value reduced lag, or if you prefer a compact plug-and-play accessory for your living room setup. It makes wireless listening easier for casual and dedicated players who accept using the controller mic for chat.
Not the best choice if you need Bluetooth mic support, if your headset does not support aptX variants, or if you expect the adapter to work with consoles or devices listed as incompatible. Keep in mind that some headphone models may still show latency depending on their supported codecs.
