There's no shortage of headsets out there that work with Nintendo Switch - such as the SteelSeries Arctis 3 Bluetooth - but there aren't many that are a) Nintendo-themed and - more important - b) officially licensed. Well, audio tech firm Astro has teamed up with the big N to fill that gap with a range of cool speaker tags and branded headsets.
The first products launching as part of this partnership are some magnetic speaker tags that will clip onto the side of Astro's robust A40 headset range, featuring retro-classic takes on The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3. The tags were launched this week as part of PAX East 2018, and, as you can see, they're pretty rad.
The tags themselves will be out later this year, although Astro hasn't confirmed a price point for them as yet. The company is also planning to launch the Astro Gaming Nintendo Switch at the end of 2018, an ideal Christmas gift if you want more even more Nintendo properties on your lugs.
Are these Nintendo-themed tags piquing your interest? Or are you happy with the headset you've got? Share your thoughts below, if you will...

They seem quite OK. But i love my PS4 Headset so i am not going to change
:Q___________.
Dang. Why can't companies ever make Metroid NES merch? They've made TWO Mario headsets and a Zelda one.
The tags look cool but I'm not so sure about the headset. I'll probably pass on this.
Need some Mario 2, Super Metroid and Link to the Past.
Tags could and should be far more creative/stylish.
I'm Not buying a headset until Nintendo sort out the appauling voice chat!
The earbuds I have are cheap, but they work. I'm not looking for more headphones 'till they break.
Those headsets are way to expensive for what they are
Let’s hope the partnership coincides with them adding Bluetooth audio or doing something to allow wireless audio, ideally including voice without a phone app.
