I'm gonna be plugging a
bluetooth audio transmitter into the breakout. Requiring wired audio is ridiculous for VR.
Urgh, I hope Sony get their crap together and make the PS4 not suck for bluetooth support and fix this HDR crap. Not to sound douchy, but when you've spent crazy money on a 4K TV, a PS4 Pro and a VR headset, you kind of expect a more premium experience.
It kinda sucks, yeah but, to be fair, it keeps potential latency from the head movement and 3D audio from being a thing, since al of the audio is being processed and sent to the PSVR.
That and, ya know, that port is there anyway, so you might as well use it. It works with any headphones, too.
Couldnt you just have an extra hdmi cable pluged into the tv and when you want hdr just simply switch the two? are people really this lazy these days?
To be honest, yes. People want things to be simple and Joe Consumer doesn't want ot have to swap cables every single time.
Then you have people with their systems in TV stands that, while there is enough circulation, it's a pain to reach around the PS4 (lol) and swap the cable quickly.
Then you have other people that keep all of their AV stuff in a closet (yes, this is a thing) and all of their media is digital except maybe one or two things and they don't have a ton of boxes at their TV for a cleaner, less cluttered look.
Any one of those means that while, yes, it's a solution, it's an inconvenient one that means they will be less likely to use one feature or the other. This leads to disinterest and failed adoption if it's on the end of hardware like the VR (bad word of mouth, used sales cutting into end profits, etc).
TL;DR (yep, the lazy one): yes, it matters.
