    What about the switch lite?

      Can confirm the switch lite also supports Bluetooth headphones. I’ve got my buds pro hooked up to it.

    I love Nintendo, but they make so odd choices sometimes… Not having this out of the box is definitely on the list.

    So all this time device was capable of doing this and now they are doing this update? 🤦

    But you can’t use BT headphones with PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X (or whatever that newest MS console was). That sucks.

      If it’s like the bluetooth usb adapter I bought you will still be able to use it on PS4/PS5 and most likely Xbox Consoles as well.
