So I went and tried to see if the Joycons themselves had a headphone jack. My first result.

I don't see a headphone jack.

Could it be in the joycon grip then ?

Hopefully you don't need to buy the 30$ charging grip for a headphone jack.

The Wii U Pro controller didn't have it either, never knew this was a thing actually :p

The gamepad had it and you can plug into the Switch directly, so it will work for me

For those with a monitor you could always buy a cheapo blue-tooth speaker with an audio in jack, then you can use it with your phone as well.

Could have Been à perfect controller but i wont buy it Because of that, at least not for more than  50 euros.

 

This was a major feature for me on this génération to bé able to play with headphones on home consoles , really really nice and absolutely mandatory for horror game.

 

I hope theyll make à second version of Switch pro controller.

It's not really a dealbreaker for me, because I never really use headsets anyways. 

By the way, do you have your keyboard set to French autocorrect or something? Everytime I see you post I seem accents on words that are spelled like the French word.



Wait, so does that mean you're buying the system...??

Of course not. The online service will require a phone app for voice chat and you plug into the console otherwise. Makes sense to me.

Not à dealbreaker for thé console but to buy a new controller at 70 euros it is for me.

 

Exactly, its pretty annoying but at thé same time I cant change thé auto correct every time i change of language, this phone is so bad , forces me to use auto correct to write letters in thé good order

From your previous comments on the system, I thought you'd be quite opposed to it

Not at all

Im pretty excitéd to receive it in 22 days to try thé new génération of handheld ( well thé only One of its génération lol )! Reminds me à bit thé Vita on some aspects

So, the controller is $10 more than the DS4 and XBO controllers, yet doesn't feature analog triggers or a headphone jack, one of which was standard last gen and the other a standard this gen? Nintendo truly are price gouging its loyal fanbase with the Switch.
