The editorial department of funglr Games updated Nintendo Switch to version 13.0.0, try to connect Bluetooth audio device!
Since there is no portable device in the editorial department, the author (Bandman) decided to use my personal SONY all-wireless headset “WF-1000XM4“Try it.
First, start the updated Nintendo Switch and go to “Settings” → “Bluetooth® Audio” → “Login” in the home menu of the main unit. Select the name of the device you want to connect to.
After logging in, the host and Bluetooth audio will automatically connect.

Because the codec is fixed to SBC, I was worried about the delay, but the delay is not obvious. With Sony “WF-1000XM4”, there is a certain amount of noise that seems to be out of sync with the Switch.
But another shape number “WH-1000XM3“Can be used normally. I don’t know the reason, but if you want to buy a new headset, you can try it first.
