It has been confirmed that Hori's cool-looking Splatoon 2 headset is coming to the west, joining a whole host of other lovely related merchandise and products.

The device - which has to be connected to both your Switch and your smartphone to enable voice chat via a special application - is designed to resemble the same cans the characters wear in-game. 

It features interchangeable decorative plates and a removable mic, and is officially licensed by Nintendo itself.
