Hi I’m looking for recommendations for a speakerphone that can be used on the Nintendo switch, currently my young fella is using earphones with a speaker, but I would like to occasionally be able to hear what’s going on while he’s playing his games, thanks !

Any reason to not just unplug the headphones then you'll hear what's going on?

Sorry I should have said earphones with a microphone, if I unplug he won’t be able to talk to his friends, so what I’m looking for is a microphone that he can use while I can still hear the conversation

probably need to get a bluetooth adapter that supports dual stream audio and voice chat

then use a bluetooth headset and a speaker as the dual outputs

do his eavesdropping in a separate room then!

few enough speakerphones just with 3.5mm - not 100% if they would work on switch and still need to be powered by usb

also not cheap

edit - this one has a built-in rechargeable battery

Could you use a headphone splitter?

worth a try but may not work with the return audio (microphone) aspect
