Support NeoGAF

[ethomaz]

There is a lot of confusion and FUD about DualSense not having an audio jack plug so I decided to open this thread to tell GAFers:

Yes, DualSense has headphone jack plugin just like DS4.
So you can plug in your headphone used on DS4 on your new DualSense.



At least we have a confirmation now.

Some random mock-up from Google just to have a pic on OP.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

That’s great to hear. Controller seems fantastic

I use the jack for my backup stereo headset this is good for me

It didn’t make sense for them to remove it, glad that wasn’t true

 

[Captain Hero]

It’s there from the start

 

[McHuj]

That's great to hear. One of my favorite features.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Not something that i will ever use realistically, but i can see why most people appreciate this. With this and the mic in the controllers there should be absolutely no reason someone is playing COD or BF online without being able to communicate.

 

[Eimran]

While we're at it: it has a rechargable battery since some people keep spreading nonsense about AA-batteries

 

[Shakka43]

FUDs so far, AA batteries, no headphones Jack... Next you are gonna hear the thumb sticks are not clickable lol.

Maybe they don't want to?...

 

[Grinchy]

Maybe they don't want to?...

Yeah, like I use a mic when I'm playing in a party with people I know, but the last thing I want to do is talk to random COD players

 

[MasterCornholio]

I never use the jack but I'm glad that it's there. What I really want is native Bluetooth headphones support.

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

Sony announced the DualSense, some people started to complaining about NonSense

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Maybe they don't want to?...

Yeah i get that, but if your playing an online game and the things you are doing take communication, you should probably communicate or play single player. I was merely saying everyone has the ability to now, not that they have to.

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

Thank God

 

[DESTROYA]

That all black controller looks amazing.

 

[The Shepard]

One of the best features of the DS4 so glad it's been confirmed.

 

[mejin]

 

[Entroyp]

Uuuf what a relief... the audio jack on the controller is one of my favorite features of the DS4.

 

[sol740]

It may have a headphone jack, but the thumbsticks actually have an electrified, sharpened needle just below the rubberized material, at it's center point, designed to discourage overzealous clicking and squeezing. So you'll hear sounds just fine through your headphones, right before you get stabbed in the thumbs, and zapped.

 

[mortal]

Good to have that confirmed. Love gaming with headphones.

 

[xiaoming10086]

BUT, we don't have 3.5mm headphones these days, it's all type-c
FUCK YOU APPLE

 

[ethomaz]

It’s there from the start

Yes, it was.
But a lot of Xbox posters were using that fake claim to donwplay the controller so it is better to kill the FUD.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

Was there confusion or sandy vaginas?

 

[leo-j]

I like the concept, a nice upgrade. I thought the DS3- DS4 upgrade was perfect tho, I kinda will miss the DS4 so much

 

[ethomaz]

Was there confusion or sandy vaginas?

Well there were a lot of discussion in the reveal thread.

 

[Rick Dangerous]

Gooood !
It changes my stance : from meh to nice !

 

[ethomaz]

It has the same shape of DS4.

 

[sublimit]

Of course it would have one lol. Only MS fanboys wished that it didn't.

 

[Ozrimandias]

I play with my Sony 950X extra bass headphone....plugged.
So this is awesome.
(The DualSense looks gorgeous)

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Best post of the day so far

 

[The Shepard]

I swear I read somewhere that DS4 will work aswell like the xbox sx can use xbox one controllers.

 

[ethomaz]

I believe it is to be used to play PS4 BC, no?

 

[Radical_3d]

I wouldn’t say that anyone is spreading FUD about the headphone jack, it’s more a case of the Sony’s communication for the PS5, which has been abysmal for the past few months. 2005 level bad.

 

[The Shepard]

The pads are practically the same button wise, i can't see why you wouldn't be able to use them for ps5 games especially if they get them working for BC games.

 

[buizel]

but will i experience the manufactured JOY that is present in iwata presents nintendo's JOYcons

remember to PLEASE ENJOY

PLEASE HAVE FUN

SSHHHHH DIRTY ASIAN BRAINWASHING

I heard they keep disconnecting.

Just trying to confirm it with my sauces.

Stay tuned.

Of course they are, it was one e of the first lies console warriors brought up purposely just to spread FUD

Nobody really just one of the big wigs at SONY

He's the uncle that actually works at Nintendo.

The lengths some people go to is amazing.
It wasn't even this bad back in 2013.

i chuckled, god speed dear sir

So he's an actual big wig or not? I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

It really wasn't. The level of relentless aggression is something else this time around.

My point is that they could not be spreading FUD if Sony makes his job. They didn’t clarify the controller had a 3.5mm jack in a post on their own blog. How clumsy is that?

Then why say that the gamepad doesn't have 3.5 mm when even you don't have any idea?

 

[yurinka]

Read his Twitter bio to know his job and company, an guess his nationality reading his name.

 

[Radical_3d]

If you don’t see one is an easy assumption. Even Sony fans though the hole beneath was too little for a Jack. When you don’t communicate properly the message is misleading. It’s business school 101

Well there you go. It's amazing that he has to come out on Twitter to confirm something like this.
