My Switch freezes if I have my G933 connected to it. Once I remove the USB plug or undock the Switch it unfreezes.

That's unfortunate
Let's hope someone find a fix for this.

 

[Sagitario]

Someone test if it works with the Pulse Elise headset, please!

 

[xxracerxx]

Fucking finally!

 

[JCX]

Wish it could pair with bluetooth headsets that don't have a dongle, but I guess the dongle is standard for bluetooth headsets on PS4/XB1 so it at least brings parity.

 

[maouvin]

Someone test if it works with the Pulse Elise headset, please!

Tested earlier today, it works.

 

[nampad]

Dongles are definitely a modern tech decision, considering how it's something that MacBooks and phones have been needing in the last few years.

But not for BT audio so your apples to Apple comparison is not good. The solution we got right now is still pretty backwards.

 

[Solobbos]

Fuck, I just ordered a 5m 3.5mm extension cable to listen to the music with headphones while docked.

 

[Schucky Ducky]

I wonder if that VOID Corsair Headset that I got from Best Buy off a price error for $10 works with this. I'd love to get more use out of them. I'll give them a try when I get home.

 

[Shiggy]

In handheld mode, it can be done this way:

What's the adapter you're using?

 

[Salty Rice]

Dayum this is great news.

Nintendo does what Ouya wont.

 

[marc^o^]

It’s not mine, I saw it in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSw...mmon_misconceptions_about_bluetooth_audio_on/

 

[nampad]

Did Ouya really not support USB/BT audio?

 

[border]

Completely unrelated, but will the Sony Gold headset work on a PC as well?

 

[HardRojo]

Shit! This will be great when I get my Switch! My Sony Pulse Elite headphones are still rocking after 4 years.

 

[Salty Rice]

Did Ouya really not support USB/BT audio?

I think it maybe did. Just wanted someone to talk about the Ouya again.

 

[squall23]

There isn’t any voice-functionality in any game or the OS, so no.

The last Nintendo Direct announced Switch Joysound. How can you have a karaoke app without voice functionality?

 

[Spiritwalker]

I have a smart TV with bluetooth so this isn't useful for me, but good on them for adding this feature. It should've been available at launch imo. Seems like a good update overall.

 

[samred]

my sennheiser 373d cans work great with this. what a weird thing to add AND not advertise.

 

[LiK]

Why only in docked mode?

 

[piccio_ssl]

Tested earlier today, it works.

 

[Candescence]

Why only in docked mode?

The thread title is wrong. It works in handheld mode as well, just needs a USB-C adaptor.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Just ordered the Creative Labs dongle from Amazon. New its $36, but they offer “Used, Like New” for $25.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Can USB headsets that include mic be used for voice chat?

This needs to be available next

Was it confirmed if an adapter to USB type c can work in handheld mode?

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

I tried but can’t get it to work

FUCK YES

 

[ikuze]

Tried my Logitech USB adaptor with my wired headset. It didn't work

 

[majik13]

fuck yes, every few weeks, id look around the net to figure out some cheap way, to get some wireless headset working with switch, either by using my golds, or buy some wireless rf dongle to plug into the 3.5 jack, and nothing seemed worth it, or feasible.

This is perfect.

 

[Schucky Ducky]

I tried but can’t get it to work

Dang, that stinks. I have heard they work with the PS4 so I wonder why they aren't working here. I might still try and see if I can get them to work later.

 

[majik13]

In handheld mode, it can be done this way:

is this not using the Sony Gold Dongle that comes with the headphones? kinda hard to tell from the picture, but dont see this in there.

looks like the USB C adapter is about the size of the gold dongle, but then the dongle in the reddit pic looks fairly short/small. I r confused...

 

[patientx]

Got an old usb only stereo speaker set , it works too With normal and portable mode

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Completely unrelated, but will the Sony Gold headset work on a PC as well?

The PlayStation Golds work on PS3/PS4/PC. All you have to do is plug the dongle in.

The new Platinum headset however I believe only works on PS4/PC. I’d be curious if it worked on Switch, can anybody test the Platinums?

I was actually thinking about getting rid of my Golds because I have a headset for PC that I could just plug into the DualShock but I’m gonna keep them now. Mine haven’t started to crack yet in over a year. I do take good care of my stuff though.

Tried it with my Kingston HyperX Cloud 2. Didn't seem to work

This is interesting. It doesn’t seem to work with any wired USB headsets, nor most wireless headsets. Odd choices there, sort of like how PS4 doesn’t support Bluetooth headphones but Vita did.

I wonder what makes the Sony headsets work and not the rest? I guess I’m lucky in that both headsets I have and my AirPods will work, but it sucks that despite having USB headset support that most people’s headsets don’t work.

[Tom Nook]

An official PlayStation headset works on a Nintendo console? oh yeah :O.

 

[Jzero]

My USB Type-C IEMs work
I'm finally going to have a use for them since I don't like using them with my phone

 

[Vital Tundra]

Maybe this is alluding to vice chat and such on the Switch itself. They may not like the numbers on who is using the app.

You’ve got to think that all the hassle makes the number of concurrent voice users bad. Like Lawbreakers bad.

It's not even the hassle. I tried it once, and it didn't even work well. Got my friends to download discord and it was miles better. Not to mention the app only supports voice chat in Splatoon 2 when playing with friends atm.

They should've known.

 

[Afrocious]

Hmm, I'm just jumping into the thread currently, but is there a way I can get my Bose and Sony bluetooth headphones working wirelessly with my Switch?

 

[thebisonxrc]

I’m thrilled that my PS4 Gold Headset will work with my Switch. What a great surprise!

 

[Rezbit]

We can only dream!

 

[ZOONAMI]

I feel like the dongle to another dongle for handheld mode is more cumbersome than just using wired cans lol.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Hmm, I'm just jumping into the thread currently, but is there a way I can get my Bose and Sony bluetooth headphones working wirelessly with my Switch?

I linked a Creative BT USB adapter earlier in the thread that I’ve been using this afternoon to play Zelda with my AirPods. It’s ~$30 but it’s a very small adapter and allows you to use any Bluetooth headphones.

I feel like the dongle to another dongle for handheld mode is more cumbersome than just using wired cans lol.

I found a USB C ad;get on amazon that seemed pretty small, combined with the BT adapter it probably extends like 3cm from the bottom? That doesn’t seem horrible but until they come in I won’t really know.

I honestly rarely use the Switch in handheld mode though so idk how useful it will be for me.

 

[shiyrley]

Personally, I will wait for some USB C dongle to release, with no adapter required.

 

[Cuburt]

Nice update and seems to indicate more features like this added going forward.

 

[nampad]

I think it maybe did. Just wanted someone to talk about the Ouya again.

Why? It just boggles down to shit posts anyway.

 

[HyGogg]

If we can get a USB Bluetooth dongle working, then we'll be in business.

 

[Tahnit]

Steel series Arctic 7 work?

.

this is what I dont get from this comment, and my post earlier in the thread with the reddit picture. According to Sonys Gold headset manual, the included dongle all by itself is about 3.6cm just on its own...

is there like a smaller dongle out there I am not aware of?

But its probably all moot anyways, and I think I agree with ZOONAMI on this, wired earbuds or cans are probably just a better idea for undocked play.

 

[ArtificialIntelligence]

I tried Razer Kraken 7.1 but no luck. First there was no light at the headset, after 30 sec lights switched on but couldn't get any sound. (Docked)
