I’ve been having a really frustrating issue with my PS5 headphones. For some reason, they just won’t charge when connected to my PS5. I’ve tried plugging them into different USB ports on the console, but nothing seems to work. I’ve checked the cable and it doesn’t seem to be damaged. Sometimes, the charging light comes on for a second and then goes off immediately, making me wonder if it’s an issue with the headset itself or the console. I’ve also tried multiple charging cables and adapters, but the problem persists. I thought maybe there was a software update that I missed, or some special setting I need to enable for the headphones to charge properly. I’ve looked through the settings but couldn’t find anything that stands out. It’s quite annoying because the headphones work perfectly otherwise, and the battery life depletes quickly, making it impossible to play for extended periods. I am eager to understand why this is happening and if others are experiencing the same issue with their PS5 headphones not charging, hoping to find a common reason that might explain it.

If it’s possible, try using another PS5 controller to check if the headphones charge. Sometimes the issue might be with the USB port on the controller rather than the headset or console. This test can help determine if the problem lies with the controller.

A potential reason for your PS5 headphones not charging could be related to the power supply. Ensure that the power settings on your PS5 allow USB ports to supply power even when the console is in rest mode. Navigate to Settings > Power Saving > Set Features Available in Rest Mode. Make sure ‘Supply Power to USB Ports’ is enabled. You can select ‘Always’ to provide a continuous charge.

Sometimes, accessories like headphones need specific drivers to function correctly. Although this is uncommon, checking online for any available driver updates for your particular model of headphone may alleviate the charging issue. Visit the manufacturer’s website and look for any new drivers or firmware updates specific to your headset model.

On some occasions, PS5 accessories that connect via USB suffer from a ‘handshake’ issue. Try completely powering down the PS5, unplugging it from the power outlet, waiting for about 10 seconds, and then plugging it back in. Power it on again, reconnect the headphones, and see if they start charging.

Try these steps to potentially fix the issue: 1. Use a different USB cable to connect your headphones to the PS5. Some cables, like those designed for data transfer, may not support charging. 2. Use a different power source to charge your headphones. If you usually plug them into the PS5, try using a wall adapter instead. 3. Reset your headphones by following the manufacturer’s instructions. This can sometimes clear any software issues preventing charging.

There might be an issue with the battery’s internal connections within your headphones. If you are comfortable with minor repairs and your headphones are out of warranty, carefully disassemble them, check the battery connections, and reseat any loose connectors.

It’s possible that the headphones themselves have a hardware fault. Testing the headset with another device, like a PC or another console, can help confirm this. If the headphones don’t charge on other devices either, it’s likely that the headset is at fault. Considering contacting the manufacturer for repair or replacement.

If your PS5 headphone isn’t charging, it’s possible that the port on the console is dirty or damaged. Check for any dust or debris inside the USB port. You can use a can of compressed air or a small, clean brush to gently remove any obstructions.

This issue might be related to the PS5’s firmware. Sony occasionally releases updates that can affect peripheral compatibility. Ensure your PS5 is running the latest firmware by going to Settings > System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings. Follow the prompts to update if necessary.
