Want to use wireless headphones with your Nintendo Switch 2? Here's how.

The quick version:

Go to System Settings > Bluetooth Audio. Turn it on. Select "Pair Device." Put your headphones in pairing mode. Select them from the list. Done.

Your headphones will auto-connect next time they're on near the console.

Switching between devices:

Hold the Home button for Quick Menu. There's a Bluetooth audio shortcut. Tap it, pick your device.

What works:

Most Bluetooth headphones and earbuds. AirPods, Sony, Bose, whatever.

The latency thing:

Bluetooth has a tiny delay. For competitive games, some prefer the headphone jack. For casual gaming, Bluetooth is fine.

One at a time:

Only one Bluetooth audio device at once.
