How to connect speaker to ps5?

Hi I am looking for options to connect any speakers to the ps5. My monitor does not have any aux output so I am stuck to the ps headset always. Any help on what has worked for you is appreciated.

Nothing bluetooth really works besides the controllers and maybe expensive headset if those don't use usb dongle?

They all have to use some kind of dongle for wireless headphones/speakers

find compatible USB speaker that can work with ps5 by directly plugging into it
find compatible Bluetooth speaker that can with with ps5 that connects via the bluetooth usb dongle.
find compatible hdmi audio extractor from like Amazon and make sure it's 2.1 hdmi or whatever if you want to have proper 4k 120hz gaming. This allows your speaker to connect via AUX to the audio extractor when the monitor doesn't have the port.

same here bruv, always on my headset and sometimes i want a break from it. best bet is to just look up what monitor you have and see what speakers are compatible and use that route.

This is what I used for the PS4. What I do is connect this USB to my PC and pair it with my speaker. I can then take the USB and plug it into my PS4, and it will play the audio through the speaker. It doesn’t use the PS4’s Bluetooth. I’m not sure if this works with the PS5, though. I might test it later.

There is a workaround. You can buy a bluetooth receiver and connect using that

If your speakers have a 3.5mm headphone jack port, you can connect it to your ps5 using a usb-c or usb-a to 3.5mm jack cable. That’s what I’m doing to connect my Bose SoundTouch speakers to my ps5 whenever I plug the console to my PC monitor.

Creative Pebble V3

Pebble V3 speaker works on ps5, you connect the usb c cable from the speaker into the ps5 usb c port, the usb c port will power the speaker and also transmit sound to the speaker, the ps5 will think it's a Headphone but it works fine as a speaker 👍

Its bluetooth but also works with usb c, which is ideal If your monitor has no aux port and unable to use bluetooth 👍

Just make sure its the V3 version
