Don't hope, ask them directly again and again. G5 has the highly desired Line Out/Optical "headphone mode" feature. 
 
A 399/499 product should have it as well, no?

That, plus input auto switching which sometimes does not work...
The relay does not click and the device remains without a lock.
Going into boot mode seems to fix it

Would plugging in a usb headset adapter/usb soundcard (3,5 mm mic and headphone port) into the ps4 and then the mic into the usb headset adapter/usb soundcard work just as well as the bt w2?

Because the ps4 would be recognizing it as a USB mic. I think i saw someone mention it in another thread. But im not sure it works.

I didn't experience any switching problems though...  I plugged in my headphones and it switches automatically.  It just works every time.


Yea,I only use the toslink in & out combo :) Rarely the headphone out :)

The X7 is a receiver, the USB dongle is a transmitter. It's taking the chat audio from the USB dongle and the X7 is receiving it...

The microphone still needs to be hooked up to the USB dongle itself, not the X7.

You are wrong MLE. Mic is also transmitted via bluetooth. Bt-w2 supports communication in both ways.

Again, I'm referring to needing that transmitter for PS4 use. The X7 doesn't work for mic functionality alone on PS4, last I heard.
