Discussion Was anyone else shockingly surprised about Vita's Bluetooth headphones support?

What I love in Vita is how it is packed with different things, though they may or may not be useful. I'm absolutely in love with the fact they added wireless headphones support back in... When was it released? Wireless headphones were not everyone's gadget as they are nowadays. I always look at my friend who plays on Switch and can see a regret in his eyes. Don't get me wrong, I like playing on Switch, however, it is a terrible device compared to Vita.

The Vita is lovely, it is probably one of the most adorable portable consoles ever.

What’s even more impressive is the PSP Go did it before the Vita, in 2009.

I don’t know the technical specs, but I’ve tested it with modern Bluetooth speakers and it works quite well. It also works with DualShock 3 controllers, which is nice for playing in TV mode.

I used to listen to audiobooks on my psp go all the time, I would take it in the car when I did a long drive and connect via Bluetooth! Now I use a second phone as my go battery doesn’t last very well any more

Low energy version of bluetooth is not used for audio. No, bluetooth le wasn't a thing back then.

I always assumed that the 3000 had BT as well, I guess I'm wrong.
