The PS5 release is scheduled for winter 2020, currently neither the design nor the controller are known. Fans are now demanding a specific feature for the Dualshock 5 controller.
What feature do users want the most? On reddit , many users wish that Sony keeps the headphone jack for the Dualshock 5. Fans are glad that the Xbox Series X maintains an old feature.
Where does this wish come from? CrazyForCashews explains in his post on reddit that the headphone jack is extremely important for him:
He lists the following points on why this feature is important:
- You don’t need special hardware to use your headphones.
- You just plug the headphones into the controller and can play immediately.
Nevertheless, CrazyForCashews explains that the Dualshock 4 is certainly not perfect. The Dualshock 5 should keep the headphone jack but improve the sound and connection quality.
Moreover, a physical volume controller on the controller would also be a nice feature.
Microsoft has actually returned a cool ability with a recent update to the Xbox One controller that many users have been eagerly waiting for. This ability is actually quite simple:
PS4 Controller: What fans say about the headphone jack
What users say: This post has been discussed extensively on reddit. The post has nearly 2K upvotes and around 200 comments. Here are a few we would like to present to you:
- User Sam-Porter-Bridges says: “The DAC was not really good, but a few decent headphones connected to the Dualshock 4 offered significantly better audio than the Sony Wireless Headset. For the price of these headphones, you can get a Sony MDR-7504 or an Audio Technica ATH-M40X, both provide significantly better sound.”
- Dead-Sync explains: “I’m pretty confident that the headphone jack will still be there. Sony even brought back the port in the newest Xperia Phone. (…) The only reason they might decide against it would be a larger battery or a new haptic system, but I think that won’t be the case.”
- A similar opinion is also held by TheWombatOverlord: “The headphone jack is still the standard for wired audio, Sony doesn’t have the same incentives as smartphone manufacturers to abolish the simple jack (for a slimmer device or improved water protection). I would really be surprised if [the jack] wasn’t there.”
- Even more clearly, Obiwans lightsaber states: “If the PS5 offered native Bluetooth support for headphones, then that would at least be a key feature against the Xbox Series X, which Microsoft hopefully adds with one of the first updates as well.”

- Fans have also not been inactive when it comes to a cool design for the PS5 controller.
Otherwise, there are only speculations about the PS5 design as well as about the new controller.
