If so, which ones? I am looking to game and talk to friends over discord on my Steam Deck. No FPS, more bullet hells, ARPGs, etc. Thank you!!

    Bluetooth headphones work well with the Steam Deck, I specially like how you can pair your phone to the Deck and it will mix the phone’s audio with the game audio (so you can have music or a podcast playing, for instance)

    For those asking how to do it, simply enable Bluetooth on the phone and then go to the Steam Deck’s Bluetooth page, find the phone and pair it from there.

        ok so I just tried it. it does work but it is kinda temperamental. and doesn’t work flawlessly.

        the signal keeps getting interrupted and janky as bluetooth can kinda be odd when it comes to having more than one device connected to it at one time.

        especially audio. so yes it technically works, but its not going to be super usable.

            i am not able to use bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth controller at the same time with the steam deck.

            the sound just constantly stutters. its been that way since I got the deck. so its been years now.

      I wish I knew this months ago! This knowledge needs to be spread around more.

      Also, if your phone doesn’t show up on the deck, make sure to enable “show all devices”

        I paired both my phone and earbuds to the deck and the phone’s audio was super choppy. It behaved better when in the deck’s options menus but it was still bad. 🤔
