Review on HORI Nintendo Switch Gaming Earbuds Pro with Mixer - Licensed by Nintendo, Blue by Jose Muenzen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works for voice chat and listening to game sounds

I rarely review but wanted to help out all new Animal Crossing Switch folks. So yes, it works for voice chat in Animal Crossing. It mixes audio so you can hear game sounds and voice chat in the same ear. People had no hearing problems even when I dropped the mic next to me and didn't notice. The main downside is that the headphones are not comfortable at all. I've never really liked earphones, but they just have the thinnest silicone thing ever that offers almost no comfort. I'm having a hard time especially with the one to which the microphone is connected. I can't stand it in my ear. I end up taking it out and just clip it to my chest. I've ordered replacement foam from another company and an in-ear gaming headset to test and will update my review once they arrive whether they work or not. They are not here. There really are a lot of options for the somewhat uncomfortable voice chat system that the Switch has at the moment. This is one that works and isn't too expensive, so I recommend it. Having so many cables is annoying and I would love it if there was a higher quality Bluetooth option that reduced cables and was more convenient.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Makes me angry
