Can You Connect AirPods to Nintendo Switch Without an Adapter?

Ever wondered if your sleek AirPods can buddy up with your Nintendo Switch without the need for an extra piece of gear? You’re not alone in this curiosity.

Can AirPods link up to a Nintendo Switch directly, sidestepping the need for an adapter? Let’s dive into this tech conundrum.

Short Answer: Not Directly

Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t support Bluetooth audio out of the box. This means you can’t directly connect your AirPods to the Switch without using some sort of Bluetooth adapter.

Even though it’s a bit of a bummer, there’s a silver lining. Various third-party Bluetooth adapters are specifically designed for the Switch. They plug into the console’s USB-C port or headphone jack, enabling you to use your AirPods or any other Bluetooth headphones.
