A new Nintendo console update can ensure that s of wireless headphones can use them on Nintendo Switch with Bluetooth. This news may seem frivolous, considering that it's 2021 and compatibility with Bluetooth technology is kind of the rule in almost all recent devices, but, for some obscure reason, the Switch and other consoles from other companies are not equipped with such. connection, at least not naturally. It is necessary for the to buy an adapter for the peripheral to work – until now, in the case of the Switch. 4m6931
According to information from Twitter's DataMiner ( that, as the name suggests, mines information from websites, updates and software) Oatmeal Dome, already known by the community, version 12.0.0 was responsible for adding audio to drivers of bluetooth on the console. Even so, he himself comments that, despite the addition, there is no way to know if the is already being used in something or if it will even be used in the future, but believes that Nintendo would not add it without reason.
Is Nintendo Switch with Bluetooth Important? a5u4q
Well, there are more interesting rumors when we talk about the Nintendo console, even more so with the possibility of a new version of the Switch in play. Even so, it is important that we have this type of update – as silly as it may seem, having a Nintendo Switch with functional Bluetooth to be able to hear the game sound with wireless headphones makes all the difference, even more when considering that the platform is practically a laptop.
Until now, it was necessary (and still is, in a way, since nothing has been officially confirmed) to buy a dongle (one hardware, normally small, that adds functions to a certain device, such as the chromecast) to enable the Bluetooth connection, which, let's face it, is an unnecessary waste of money and battery for the Nintendo Switch itself, given that the energy used to guarantee the operation of the peripheral exit the console itself.
A quick internet search will tell you the additional price of these simple devices – considering the supposedly official offers here, not those suspicious ments from Chinese websites:
- You can find adapters for at least R$200,00;
- Compatible headphones also for at least R$ 200,00.
It should be pondered that the price of a game on Switch is also in this range – is it really worth paying for a new title on a compatible headset? Or an accessory that will be used just for that? Personally, I don't think so, especially if we see that an update like this is enough for the Nintendo Switch with Bluetooth to be a reality.
It is possible to use Bluetooth headphones with Dongle on the Switch too, if you prefer to buy the peripheral anyway.
