The Nintendo Switch 2 has been out for over two weeks, but the brand-new console is in a prickly spot. Its backwards compatibility means the new Ninty handheld can support a whole range of the past best Nintendo Switch headsets in theory, especially due to its extra USB-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and Bluetooth support from the get-go. However, in practice, it’s not that simple.
In a similar situation with the best Nintendo Switch accessories, from controllers to third-party docks, not every pair of cups out there is fully functional with the new Nintendo handheld – and trust me, I’ve tested a lot of them. The main culprit is wireless connectivity via 2.4GHz dongles, which isn’t working as intended with the best gaming headsets I’d normally ecstatically recommend for the original Switch and hope to recommend for its successor.
I can only speculate that brands are still frantically working on firmware updates to rectify this issue as soon as possible, and at least Bluetooth audio support is still working fine with the headsets I’ve tested with the handheld so far. Yet, if you’re eager to grab a new pair of cups for your next-gen Ninty setup in preparation for Donkey Kong Bananza, or you just aren’t that patient, here are the only five I’d wholly put my support behind for your Switch 2 after weeks worth of testing so far.
