Congratulations on Nintendo Switch finally supporting Bluetooth earphones/headphones!

It's an old spec, but I'm happy to be able to use it from the current first model!

Nintendo Switch that you can carry around, but the sound has been shaking the speaker of the main unit. There's a wired earphone jack, but it's annoying when you're really into the game. That's why so far, third-party Bluetooth dongles have been released for those who want to play with their Nintendo Switch while traveling on trains or planes.

But!

If you update the system version of the main unit to 13.0.0, you will be able to connect directly to Bluetooth earphones/headphones!

Supported profile is A2DP only. Codec is SBC only. In other words, you can't use the mic, just the audio output. Also, there is a lot of audio delay, and depending on the Bluetooth earphones / headphones you connect, it seems that it will be far from lip sync.

But!

Still, it's nice to be able to play without annoying cables and disturbing others.

In addition, on the official website, it is written that if the sound skips or noise occurs, set the Wi-Fi access point to the 5 GHz band. If you are using a wireless LAN router that supports up to the 2.4GHz band, you may want to take this opportunity to replace it.
