Splatoon 2 Splat Chat Headset The Kotaku Review. Just about any headset you can use with a phone or tablet can be used with Nintendos Switch app to chat with friends during rounds of Splatoon 2. You dont have to pick up Horis official licensed headset, but there are a couple of reasons you might want to. First off, just look at the thing. The tentacle microphone The Forge branded ear panels That strange little connector dealio in the shape of a squid Put this on your head and youre just a mask and a quick trip to the seafood counter at your local market away from being an actual squid kid. Speaking of that odd connector, its one of the main reasons to score one of these sets instead of just using whatever headset you have lying around. The Texarkana Gazette is the premier source for local news and sports in Texarkana and the surrounding Arklatex areas. The cable at the top of the squid connector goes to the headset. The bottom right wire plugs into your cell phone or tablet to facilitate chat via the Switch app. And the cable coming off the bottom left plugs into the Switch itself, delivering audio from the console to the headset. Thats the kicker, right there. A headset plugged into just your phone only gives you chat audio, and the ear cups will muffle the sound of the game. With the Splat Chat, you get both, with dual volume controls for balancing voice with game audio. Is it an elegant solution Nah. Youve got three wires to contend with, plus an included extension cable should you want to play the game with the Switch in TV mode. Its not exactly a high quality audio device, either. I will show wonders in the heavens above, and signs on the earth belowActs 219. Free game reviews, news, giveaways, and videos for the greatest and best online games. The 1 MMO MMORPG Source and Community since 2003. Its a 3. 0 headset, and it sounds like a 3. The sound isnt especially rich or deep, and Ive been told I sound a little bit tinny when talking on the mic. But hey, it gets the job done, and it gets the job done cheap. Plus, it makes you look so good. Note the slightly bended ears in the picture there. I have a very large head, and the Splat Chat does not feature an adjustable headband, For normal sized head people, the natural curve of the skull aids in getting the headset to fit right. Those with larger craniums might have issues. Measure your head, people. Along with the official headset, Hori sent along a couple of other Splatoon 2 accessories for the Switch, because Hori cant help itself. Every time I request a review unit, they send a dozen different things, just in case. Stuff like the Splatoon 2 Hard Pouch 1. Or the Splatoon 2 Splat Pack, which comes with a soft case, a squid shaped cartridge pouch and a pair of analog stick nubs. Both fine looking products. Fine looking products that do not have room for the Splat Chat headset, I might add. I guess were just supposed to leave it on our heads. Horis Splatoon 2 Splat Chat Headset and its pouchy companions should be available wherever video game accessories are sold, unless theyve all sold out. Look for our full review of Splatoon 2 The Video Game early next week.
