To get surround sound and chat mix on PS4, you need to connect your transmitter via an optical toslink cable. But for it to work, you must also connect the DAC to the electrical outlet, which you do via another cable that must be inserted into any USB charger (that charger is not included). First, connect the box itself to your PC or PS4 via a USB cable – the transmitter has a small compartment to be able to charge the extra battery, which is included with your headphones (so that you never get more than a few seconds interruption while changing). But for wireless, a lot of cables are required to be connected. The front is adorned with a clear OLED display, which also indicates battery charge and the box has built-in functions for everything, including EQ, mixing and so on, so you can make your choices completely without software.

All devices, extra batteries, all cables.
