Use the Nura analog cable to connect your Nuraphone to a PlayStation® controller, and some Xbox® controllers. However, you're unable to use voice chat functions with your Nuraphone when using this connection method.
You can alternatively use the separately sold Nuraphone Gaming Microphone to enable voice chat over a 3.5mm connection. For more information on how to connect this and how to use, please see this article.
Please note: you’re also unable to use Bluetooth to connect the Nuraphone to PlayStation® or Xbox® consoles as they have their own licensed options.
Audio jack configurations on DACs vary. Where possible, use a digital cable (USB, Lightning) as the Nuraphone has a built-in DAC and headphone amplifier.
For a 3.5 mm jack, use the Nura analog cable.
The Nuraphone isn’t optimised for Bluetooth dongles. If connecting with a dongle, make sure it’s Qualcomm® aptX-HD™ compatible.
Audio jack configurations on aeroplanes vary. For a 3.5 mm jack, use the Nura analog cable.
