If you’re like me and you’ve been looking for a wireless headset to play with your friends in Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch, you’re probably confused by what works and what does not.

For Fortnite specifically, I’ve been very happy with the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless.

Why I like it:

It’s compatible with the Nintendo Switch’s wireless USB headset system
The small dongle plugs in nicely to the USB-C port on the bottom of the Switch for playing on the go.
A regular USB-A adapter cable is included so you can plug the USB-C dongle into the docking station of the Nintendo Switch to play with the headset on a TV

Some things to know before buying:

There is no Bluetooth capability.
Many Nintendo Switch games do not support voice chat via a USB headset. Fortnite is one of the few exceptions.
Many first-party Nintendo Switch titles (such as Mario Kart and Splatoon) support voice chat through the Nintendo smartphone app, for which this headset will not work. The headset does have an AUX cable to plug into your phone if it has a jack, but then you won’t be able to hear the game sounds from your TV. There is no “mixing” capability.
This headset is also compatible with PC, PS4 and certain Android phones with a USB-C port.
