Nintendo Switch Now Works with Bluetooth Headphones

Anyone who has a Nintendo Switch can now also listen via wireless headphones, although there are limitations.

 

Thanks to update 13.0.0, the Switch now has support for headphones and earphones via Bluetooth. A microphone via Bluetooth is not yet supported.

It is possible to connect up to two controllers with wireless headphones, nor can Nintendo rule out that there may be some delay in the audio. Also, the ability also limits local wireless play against other Switch consoles nearby.

The update now also allows docks with an Ethernet port to receive updates via that port.

From now on, the internet connection will also remain active by default when the game console goes into sleep mode. This makes it possible to download updates in sleep mode.
