Wireless Skull Candy on my Nintendo Switch!

I like that it fits snugly, it's small and fits my switch well, no lag which is a plus, doesn't require charging and also doesn't drain my switch's battery, I paired it with MH- Bluetooth Skull Candy Crushers headphones and it sounds amazing with no disconnects or audio issues. I highly recommend this device, you will find extra audio detail in your games that you weren't aware of.

  • Great choice

Completely falls apart on me after a few months

So this is the second Genki adapter I've received. The first adapter I got was dead when I got it and didn't work at all when I plugged it in. Luckily Revain sent me a replacement the next day. I've been using it about 3 or 4 days a week or so for the past few months and when I plugged it in today it fell apart completely. I've emailed Genki to see if I have any options, but as of this writing I haven't received a response. The build quality of this product is not what I expected from something

Easy to use but short-lived

Easy setup - just plug in Genki and headphones and you're good to go! Works great with my Galaxy Buds. The sound quality is excellent. Features a USB-C input so you can charge your Switch while using it. Update - only about 2 months old, no longer works (with daily use). Since it's more expensive than other adapters, I figured it would last longer. It was also noted that when connected to a charger, the Switch charges much longer than usual when using the adapter. It goes in the trash can. I…

  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Available in white only

Great accessory for an active lifestyle

A compact and high quality aftermarket product that allows you to stream audio from your Nintendo Switch via Bluetooth. There is no sound delay. Powered directly from the Switch console. I use Apple Airpods or Beats Studio Wireless 3.0. I have an official Nintendo portable stand with a charging port on the side, it connects to the USB-C port via the stand mount and still works as usual. I also connect it to my bluetooth receiver in the car. On the way, if I wait in my car for a short time, it…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Paused while playing. 1 month from purchase

Sudden loss of sound in the headphones while playing. The Genka light is not on/flashing. I tried plugging the Switch charger into it and it doesn't light up, but I still managed to power the Switch. I've tried holding one and both buttons but the light won't flash and the genes won't load. Bought a month ago and doesn't play regularly on my Switch. Update: I disabled it and then emailed the Genki team. About 8 hours later they responded to take a video so they could decide if it was a…

Pros
  • Noble design
Cons
  • Some small things

AAC codec support good or bad

We bought two of these Genki devices to use with our exclusive Apple AirPods with AAC codec, Bose QC35 II and Bang & Olufsen H9i headphones, and two of our Nintendo Switch. Neither Genki device was able to connect to any of the aforementioned headphones using the AAC codec advertised by Human Things. This resulted in my headphones being connected via the SBC codec, which had extremely poor latency/delay, which was easily noticeable in every game I tested. I use the same headphones as the Human…
