Kids headphone for Switch?
Discussion
My 7 year old had a Nintendo Switch for his birthday [it's a few years old] and we wanted to get him a pair of over-ear headphones. I want them be wireless and have a mic, in case he wants to play online with his mates, and be under £30.
However, doing a quick search, it seems not all mics work with a Switch. I was looking at these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CG7YSMSX?ascsubtag=9... but can't really see if the mic will work with a Switch etc?!
Ah, doing a little more googling, it seems you have to use the headphone jack to use the mic [so won't work over Bluetooth]. Still don't know if the above headphones are ok.
Just wondering if any of you guys know of a pair of decent wireless [I guess they'll all have the option to plugin if required] over-ear headphones, with mic, that play nice with a Switch, for under £30?

As I understand it, the bluetooth mic doesn't ever work with the Switch whilst gaming. However, doing a quick search, it seems not all mics work with a Switch.

This comes down to the Bluetooth spec and profiles that support wide band audio (for music and game noises) being differerent to those of the narrower band audio used for speech (i.e. the mic channel). A2DP vs HFP for those who care)
i.e. The Bluetooth connection made by the switch is for game audio and there is no mic channel when doing so.
We ended up with wired headphones for Fortnite style gaming and chat due to this limitation....

Yeah...happy to have wireless headphones that'll we can plug in when used on the Switch [need them to be wireless so they can used on iPhone/iPad too].This comes down to the Bluetooth spec and profiles that support wide band audio (for music and game noises) being differerent to those of the narrower band audio used for speech (i.e. the mic channel).
