Are you sure? Pretty sure no Bluetooth headphones can pair with the PS4. Even the PS4 Wiki says...
>Bluetooth headsets are not currently supported. The PS4 currently only supports four Bluetooth devices being paired at one time. It appears that Sony has opted to keep those dedicated to controllers.
Even the Sony PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset includes a USB dongle to send audio to the headphones. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've literally never seen a pair of headphones sync with the PS4.

The Sony Gold Headset has 7.1 surround sound.
The Sony Playstation Wireless Gold ended up being my favorite. Here are the ones I tried and some thoughts about each. Hope this helps.
- Bose QC35II: Great sound, doesn't fit over the halo well. Expensive.
- Sony WF-1000XM3: Superb sound, doesn't fit over the halo well, but fit better than Bose for me. Ended up keeping these since I've wanted a noise cancelling set for a while and listening to music with these is magical, but that's got nothing to do with VR. Also expensive. (I still sometimes use these because holy fuck the sound is excellent and for something like SkyrimVR, the immersion is fantastic, but they do get uncomfortable after a while)
- Mantis Clip-ons: Works well enough and gives you a lot of the functionality of the original Rift headphones. They can swing out and are fairly adjustable. Sound is okay, but not as good as the original Rift (and therefore worse sound than Koss). Still much better than Rift S native sound. I have two Ss and kept a pair of these Mantis' for one of the Rifts. Not that expensive.
- Sennheiser HD 25: Great sound, good fit. Expensive-ish, but not too bad.
- Koss Porta Pro: Sounds just like the original Rift. If cost is a major consideration, then get these. Kinda janky, but for the sound you get, you'll be hard pressed to do better for the money.
So why did I go with the PS Wireless Gold? Answer: Wireless! And it's not Bluetooth, so no delay (it's RF, and has it's own dongle you plug into the PC). I prefer not to deal with a cord. Sure, you can do some fancy stuff to keep the cord out of the way, but I just love not having any cord at all and being able to easily pop them on and off, and they don't encumber the base headset and so on. With recent updates the Rift S built-in sound is passable if you're not going for total immersion, like drawing in Quill or whatever, and it's nice not having anything extra attached. Just pop em off, and turn em off. Plus, good sound, better than Mantis, and Koss. Maybe about the same as Sennheiser, maybe not. Close enough, though, and did I mention no wires? Also not too costly.
I purchased them new for $90 from a local store but they are this model found on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Sony-PlayStation-Wireless-Headset-Surround/dp/B079YL9F5T
