Astro Gaming has revealed the latest product to be added to its growing library of Nintendo related goodies - a Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild-inspired headset.
Adding to the previously announced NES-themed headsets and speaker tags, this new set is the beginning of a further partnership with Nintendo that is also expected to feature other iconic franchises such as Super Mario. Astro's head of licensing & partnerships, Cris “Soup” Lee, said the following:
“With our new wired headset for the Nintendo Switch, we celebrate the iconic gaming experience that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild delivers to a new generation of gamers. We worked closely with Nintendo to create a stylish, uncompromising audio experience, with a special new chat adapter designed specifically for the Nintendo Switch. With the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app, players can chat with their friends while playing compatible games at home or on the go."

'wired'. No thanks
Meh, too big. Don't like the Zelda stuff on it too.
Are these cheap plastic?
@AcridSkull why wouldn't it be wired? Would make no sense at all if it was Bluetooth headset
I need one of those for my switch. I'm guessing you can pre order after e3.
Why buy when we still have to use that awful mobile app and awful Nintendo online that stopped me and my 2 brothers playing splatoon on the same damn team?
Maybe in 20 years Nintendo online will be worth investing into but for now Switch is local and 1p only for me.
"Astro plans to reveal the new headset at the E3 Expo"... except they've already revealed all the details?
Zelda headset? That’s like selling a Call of Duty fishing rod.
@kobashi100 why wouldn't it be wireless? How does it make no sense?
Those look nice, they just make me wish Switch had a normal voice chat.
Yum. Normal voice chat and lobbies through console and I would've been sold.
If it's not too expensive I'll be all over it. Looks snazzy.
DAY 1 for me !
@kobashi100
They could’ve used a blue tooth dongle for those looking for sound only without chat. I use the wireless PS4 headset on my switch all the time via this method.
Looks tacky
It would solve a lot of problems to have a wireless headset that could connect to the Switch and your phone at the same time and combine the audio.
Got an A10 early this year and have really enjoyed it. Idk if I'll get another one (they're high quality, and I only need one), but this one looks awesome.
@Yasaal The other A10 headsets are around $60, so I'd expect this one to be close to that price. Worst case, maybe slightly higher.
@Jayronauron That's a really good price!
