Firmware update adds support for headsets | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Firmware update adds support for headsets](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/firmware-update-adds-support-for-headsets.jpg "Firmware update adds support for headsets")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/firmware-update-adds-support-for-headsets.jpg)Just recently the Nintendo Switch was updated to Version 5.0.0 and it brought about a few changes and not the major changes we where probably all expecting from this 5.0.0 milestone.

One thing that users noticed is that it allows support for certain headsets that didn’t seem to work before.

## [](#bluetooth-headsets)Bluetooth headsets?

No this is still not about Bluetooth headsets, Nintendo still needs to make this a possibility and we for one sure hope they go that round sooner than later.

No this actually concerns wired headsets. To see if your headset of choice works simply make sure your Nintendo Switch console is on the latest firmware and then try plugging it in to the headphone jack.
