If I understand the interface that transmits to the headphones correctly your best bet would be a simple USB Switch. You’ll still have to switch two things, that being the switch on the back of the station, and the new USB switch. But it’ll be less of a hassle in comparison to Manually switching the cable between 2 devices.

Just picked up the gen 4 A50 yesterday. I saw on the back of the base station that there is a switch to toggle between pc and ps4. I would like to know how to connect the station to both at the same time so I could just toggle the switch without unplugging the USB cable from one and connecting it to the other.
