We all know the Switch’s voice chat options aren’t the best, but if you’re looking for a headset for those few games that have bypassed Nintendo’s convoluted system and have their own chat embedded in the game, then Gioteck are launching a new headset you may be interested in. It’ll be great for the new chapter of Fortnite for example.

The TX-50 features 50mm drivers for a large sound stage, a tactile rubber finish and alacantra ear cushions for a comfortable fit. Best of all, it’s not too expensive either, retailing at £29.99 in the UK.

The black and orange design does look rather snazzy if we say so ourselves. It could be a great option for the recently released Overwatch on Switch - another game that mercifully avoids the Switch online app in favour of native voice chat.

Those in the UK can pick it up from both Game and Argos. We’ll let you know if we hear about any other territories.
