Can You Connect a Wireless Headset to a Nintendo Switch?

Last updated
Ever wondered if you can jam out to the sounds of your favorite games on a Nintendo Switch using a wireless headset? You’re definitely not alone in that curiosity.
Let’s break down the mystery: Can you really pair a wireless headset with a Nintendo Switch? The quick answer is yes, but there’s a little more to know about how it works.
Short Answer: Yes, With a Twist
Yes, you can connect a wireless headset to a Nintendo Switch. However, it’s not as straightforward as connecting your headset to a phone or laptop. Nintendo’s approach to audio is a bit unique.
To connect most wireless headsets, you’ll need a Bluetooth adapter since the Switch doesn’t have Bluetooth audio support right out of the box. These adapters plug into the Switch’s USB-C port or headphone jack, turning that connection into a Bluetooth signal your headset can latch onto.
