The Nintendo Switch now has native Bluetooth headphone support, which is great news for gamers who want to use their favorite headphones when playing. One device that is sure to be popular with Switch players is the AirPods or AirPods Pro. In this post, we’ll show you how to use your AirPods as a mic on Nintendo Switch.
First, make sure you have updated your Switch to the latest version. To do this, go to settings, scroll down to system, and then select system update. Hit the update button and wait for the Switch to restart.
Once the update is complete, you’ll find a new section in the settings called Bluetooth audio. Select this and then pair your AirPods or AirPods Pro with the Switch. This may take a minute or so, but eventually, your headphones will appear, and you can connect them to the Switch.
Now that your AirPods are connected, you can start playing your favorite games. However, you may be concerned about latency or delays in audio. Nintendo warns that you may experience some delays, but from our experience, it’s not bad at all.
One thing to note is that the Bluetooth audio feature does not work with voice chat. To use voice services, you’ll need to use the Nintendo app. However, this doesn’t take away from the fact that the Bluetooth audio feature is a great addition to the Switch.
You can have up to 10 different headphones registered with the Switch, making it easy to switch between them. Plus, the setup process is straightforward, so you can start using your AirPods as a mic on Nintendo Switch in no time.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for a way to use your AirPods or AirPods Pro as a mic on Nintendo Switch, the new Bluetooth audio feature makes it easy. While there may be some latency issues, it’s not noticeable, and everything sounds good when playing your favorite games.
