Prepare a Bluetooth transmitter with an audio input jack. If your wireless headphones don’t have a built-in USB dongle, you can still use the device to listen with the Switch thanks to a Bluetooth transmitter with an audio jack. You can connect this type of player to the Switch via a 3.5mm to 3.5mm AUX cable, then pair the headset with the transmitter. [4] X Research Sources
