One look at the LVL40 wired headset will show you that it’s the perfect choice for Switch players with the blue and red console, but there’s more to it than just the complementary colour scheme.

The LVL40 is super lightweight and more compact than the majority of other headsets around right now, making it perfect for portable play. You can also flip the mic up to instantly mute it, which is handy.
