What Headphones Work with Fortnite on Switch?

What Headphones Work with Fortnite on Switch? The popular online game Fortnite recently arrived on the Nintendo Switch, and it was downloaded over 2 million times in just 24 hours. That is the equivalent of the entire Australian population downloading the game. In a single day.

Needless to say, if you have a tween or teen in your house and a Nintendo Switch, you probably have (or will soon have) someone vying for a ‘Victory Royale,' and if you've agreed that they'll be talking to other people in the game, they'll need a good headset to do it with. We polled our Super Parent staff and compiled a list of Switch-compatible headsets that will keep your kids' heads in the game while keeping the game noise out of your ears.

Wireless USB headphones can now be connected to the Switch alongside your dock, as of October 2017. Your dongle only needs to be plugged in to the Switch dock and paired with your headset as you laugh. The current version of Fortnite does not support voice chat.

What I like about it:

• It works with the wireless USB headset system on the Nintendo Switch.
• The small dongle easily connects to the Switch's USB-C port on the bottom for on-the-go gaming.
• A standard USB-A adapter cable is included so you can plug the USB-C dongle into the Nintendo Switch docking station to use the headset on a TV.

Before you buy, here are some things you should know:

• Bluetooth is not supported.
• A USB headset is not supported by many Nintendo Switch games. One of the few exceptions is Fortnite.
• Many first-party Nintendo Switch games (including Mario Kart and Splatoon) support voice chat via the Nintendo smartphone app, which this headset does not support. The headset includes an AUX cable that can be plugged into your phone if it has a jack, but you won't be able to hear game sounds from your TV. There is no option for “mixing.”
• This headset is also compatible with PCs, PS4s, and Android phones equipped with a USB-C port.

Best Headphones for Playing Fortnite on Nintendo Switch

Headset Astro A10

The Astro A10 gaming headset is great, according to one of our SuperParent, uh, parents, because it can withstand a toddler's curiosity. “It's very tough and can withstand my three-year-old son bending it in all sorts of twisty ways,” he says. That means it's probably safe for any Fortnite fans who have been known to toss their headsets in celebration (or defeat).

The A10 has a microphone that mutes when you flip it up, memory-foam-lined ear cushions, and will work with the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or any other device with a standard headphone jack. Astro will release a special Nintendo version of this headset in the fall; we're particularly interested in the Legend of Zelda version.

Recon 50 Turtle Beach

Turtle Beach's best-selling budget headset is a popular choice, particularly among younger gamers, because the $40 price tag means you won't be crying in your coffee if your kids step, sit on, or otherwise squash their gaming headset. But keep in mind that you get what you pay for: the ears are lined with synthetic leather and it's not as tough as some other models. On the plus side, it's very light, which will make it more comfortable for long Fortnite sessions.
