If youre in search of some new earbuds for the Nintendo Switch then youve come to the right place.
In this post, we will cover the best gaming earbuds for the Switch right now.
What are the best earbuds for the Nintendo Switch?
The foam tips guarantee a comfortable fit in any ear-canal shape while ensuring top noise isolation.
Despite only having 8mm drivers, the Fusions produce a decent soundstage with an emphasis on low-frequency sounds.
Surprisingly, the audio level can turn up quite loud with no muffling or buzzing.
Increasing the volume can be done by adjusting the slider on the controls.
The mics audio quality is what you would expect from a pair of budget earbuds.
In particular, its a bit overly sensitive and susceptible to picking up sounds in the other room.
On the plus side, the build is nice and durable.
Klim promise that 98.5% still work after 6 months and 97% after a whole year.
They even back this up with a 5-year warranty for a zero-risk purchase.
As you might expect from JBL, the build quality is good even for the price.
In terms of comfort, the silicone ear tips are ultra-soft and comfortable for extended sessions.
Thanks to the JBLs QuantumSOUND, the audio quality is high across the board.
QuantumSOUND produces crisp, directional sound, which is on point for gaming.
Unfortunately, though, the buds dont offer much sound isolation.
Therefore, the max volume could be slightly louder.
We found that the controls are intuitive to use and function just as they should.
As for the microphone, this is okay but nothing spectacular.
For instance, the earphone housings are only cheap plastic, and the cord is strikingly thin.
The 10mm speakers produce perfect highs, lows, and have just the right amount of bass for gamers.
The highlight though has to be that boom mic, which is top-notch.
This ensures that they wont fall out.
In particular, the affordable price tag and attachable boom mic is what sets them apart.
What youre getting is precise German engineering that ensures amazingly detailed audio, with each frequency accounted for.
Straight away, you will appreciate the high build quality of this unit.
The cables are sturdy and dont tangle.
Moreover, the buds feel solid in your hand.
At 0.42 ounces, they do have a little bit of weight to them.
Thats thanks to the superior materials, which take them a step above the budget options.
Its the precise German engineering that makes the CX 300S sound so great.
As for the microphone, this is a little weak but not terrible.
Comms are good enough for casual gameplay but nothing competitive.
To increase the comfort of the earbuds themselves, gamers get four different-sized ear tips.
Apart from that, a cool leather pouch comes with the deal.
They have a playful and clean look that matches nicely with your console (regardless of the colorway).
Moreover, the wires are tangle-free and convenient to handle/ wear.
As for the build, the materials of these earphones are really solid and durable.
It also significantly helps insulate sound to improve the audio quality, too.
Speaking of audio quality, these earbuds sound a lot bigger than they actually are.
The moment that you plug them in, immersive gameplay audio with plenty of detail fills your ears.
Considering the affordable price, they do a great job at unlocking the full Nintendo soundstage.
Besides the extra ear tips, a nice little bonus is that the deal includes a portable carry case.
Thats exactly whats needed for taking the Switch on the go when in handheld mode.
Unfortunately, the microphone is only so-so, though, but its still good enough for game chat.
Built from premium silicone, synthetics, and copper materials, these earphones offer fantastic quality.
The braided cables and aluminum frame see to it that they outlast the competition.
Moreover, the design is not only durable but also very lightweight.
Equipped with dual audio drivers in each of the buds, the Hammerhead Duo produce rich, theater-like sound.
Its a dynamic sound stage that keeps audio clear of pops and interference.
Lastly, the convenient inline mic controls include a built-in microphone and a physical mute switch for in-game chat.
As for the microphone, this works fine and is actually pretty good.
Its easy to pair them to a phone or a gaming console.
As a result, this makes them the superior option for communicating with other players at home, e.g.
in your bedroom/ game room.
Theyre well made, light but not too floaty.
On each bud is a single touch-sensitive button.
This can perform multiple functions (such as mute, etc.)
depending on the number of presses.
Each earbud is equipped with an AKG-tuned 12mm driver at the heartbeat of the sound system.
Gamers will get full stereo sound from this tiny form factor, making games feel a lot more immersive.
There are no tinny or thin-sounding issues with these earphone options.
The strong Bluetooth 5.0 connection is another big plus.
From a named brand, this is probably one of the most stable and far-reaching weve found.
To achieve this, they incorporate multiple connection options.
By compressing and decompressing the audio, it significantly lowers the streaming latency.
As a result, you might expect lag-free playback with an almost nonexistent delay.
Unfortunately, connecting by aptX does come at one big drawback.
Therefore, you wont be able to communicate with your teammates online when you pair the earbuds this way.
Nevertheless, these earbuds are still a great choice for single-player gameplay on the Nintendo Switch.
The closed-back, in-ear design feels supremely comfortable and provides excellent sound isolation.
Moreover, the sound they produce is fantastic with deep powerful bass, natural mids, and sparkling highs.
Finally, a nice little bonus is that the package includes a portable aluminum charge case.
This extends the wireless listening time from five hours up to twenty hours on a full charge.
Sleek, compact, and unbelievably comfortable, its easy to see how theyve gained their reputation.
Theyre also compatible with pretty much any machine imaginable including the Nintendo Switch!
If theres one thing that Apple nails every time with their products, its the ergonomic design.
These earphones fit perfectly, with just the right amount of balance to keep them locked in place.
Super light and very polished, they almost disappear when worn for extended periods.
Although they produce clear mids and solid highs, the amount of bass is a little lackluster.
Games just dont have that same kind of punch you might hope for.
On the plus side, they have some cool ANC features.
Finally, the package comes with all the essentials.
Although theyre not specific to gaming, they deserve a place on our list.
They fit securely, and when compared to other True Wireless earbuds are quite small and light.
This makes them ideal for those who love to get active during their gameplay.
Unlike the 75t that have a closed design, the Elite 85t goes for a semi-open vented design.
This helps to release some pressure in your ear and allow more ambient noise when ANC is on.
While it is an overall benefit, unfortunately, it does slightly reduce the noise cancellation abilities.
Advanced ANC is one of the biggest features of the Elite 85t.
For maximum security, the powerful magnetic case snaps these earbud headphones firmly in place.
We also like that the form of the case is quite petite and slim to slot into your pocket.
During testing, we found them to be clear, natural, and have a decent amount of bass.
All in all, theres no going wrong with the Jabra Elite 85t.
These earbuds would be especially awesome for fitness games on the Nintendo Switch.
They boast a gaming mode with just 60ms of latency, as well as ten-millimeter driver technology.
Other standout features include active noise cancellation (ANC) and THX Spatial Audio.
Like most earwear, comfort is especially important for long hours of gaming.
As for the sound quality, the True Wireless Pro offer fantastic bass and clarity.
Not only do they look and sound great, but they also feel very lightweight in your ear.
