Ready to enjoy wireless audio on the Switch? Nintendo finally turned on the feature, so here’s how to connect your Bluetooth headphones and earbuds to the portable console.
Wireless audio has finally arrived on the Nintendo Switch, which has until now required gamers to connect via the headphone jack. Nintendo actually added Bluetooth functionality in an April 2021 firmware update, which was believed to be a setup for the long-rumored Switch Pro, but it was only turned on this week. If you’re ready to go wireless, here’s how to connect your Bluetooth headphones to the Nintendo Switch. Bluetooth Limitations Unfortunately, Bluetooth audio on the Switch comes with some limitations, which the device will warn you about. Once the feature is turned on, only two wireless controllers can be paired to the console. You will have to turn Bluetooth audio off if you want to link additional controllers. You also can’t locate lost controllers or change grip/order in the Controllers menu while connected.
