Until now, the only way to play sound on the Nintendo Switch was to use the main unit speaker, 3.5mm earphone jack, and HDMI output TV speakers. I didn't. However, since the main system version "13.0.0", it supports wireless playback with wireless earphones and headphones.
Currently, the Bluetooth audio standards that can be used with Nintendo Switch are "Profile: A2DP" and "Codec: SBC". It's a little disappointing that it doesn't support high-quality sound and low-delay codecs such as "AAC" and "aptX", but it's still a big progress.
When using wireless earphones or headphones with Nintendo Switch for the first time, it is necessary to first register the device from the item "Settings" → "Bluetooth Audio" → "Register". Once registered, the connection is automatically established simply by turning on the playback device. For more information, please refer to Nintendo's official support page.
