How do you choose a gaming headset for your Nintendo Switch?

Gaming with a gaming headset on a Nintendo Switch works differently than on other consoles. Ask yourself when you play on your Switch and how you want to connect the headset. In this article, we'll tell you what to keep in mind when choosing a Nintendo Switch headset.

Choose headphones

Gaming Headset Switch

First, think about how you use your Nintendo Switch the most. This affects the connection of your gaming headset. Do you mainly use it in front of the TV at home, or on the go? You need different connectors for the 2 situations.

  • Who will be using the gaming headset?
  • Do you play on the couch at home?
  • Do you mainly play on the go?
  • Do you play both at home and on the go?

Who's going to use the headset?

Nintendo Switch models

The Nintendo Switch is a console for all ages. Everyone has different wishes and you might be buying a headset for someone else. Do you want to buy headphones for a child who just started gaming or do you have a smaller budget? A wired gaming headset is often enough. These basic headsets are great for novice gamers.

Do you play on the couch at home?

Logitech G435

Do you mainly play games like Zelda and Pokémon at home? We always recommend a wireless gaming headset. It's important that your gaming headset has a USB-A dongle you can plug into the dock of your Nintendo Switch. Another option is a wired gaming headset with a long cable.

Do you play on the go a lot?

Nintendo Switch with earbuds

Do you mainly play handheld games on your Nintendo Switch? This gives you many options. A wired headset is a good option, because you plug it into the Nintendo Switch itself. Prefer gaming wirelessly? We recommend a gaming headset with Bluetooth or a USB-C dongle. Gaming earbuds are also a good option, because you can easily take them with you in your pocket.

Do you play at home and on the go?

Take your gaming earbuds or headset on the go

Do you play as much at home as on the go? We recommend a gaming headset that's as versatile as your own gaming behavior. A gaming headset you can wirelessly connect in different ways is a good option. For example, a gaming headset with both a USB-A dongle and a Bluetooth connection. This way, you can play on your Nintendo Switch in any situation.
