Both audio devices will connect directly to the PlayStation Portal Remote Player using a new wireless audio technology called the PlayStation Link, which delivers “low latency, lossless audio, and easy switching between multiple PlayStation Link hosts such as PS5 with the USB adapter and PlayStation Portal.”

The aforementioned audio devices will come with a USB adaptor and is required to use the technology. The USB adaptor can also be used on PCs and Macs to connect to a wider range of devices, along with connecting simultaneously to a PlayStation Link-supported device (PS5, PC, Mac, or PlayStation Portal) and a Bluetooth-supported device.
