This is how Voice chat on the Switch will work

I was wondering whether the Gold headset was wireless on the PS4. I have it, but have only used it on the Vita. I still go online with the PS3, and also have the PS3 Gold headset, which is of cousre, wireless. Are you sure the PS4  Gold headset won't work with bluetooth. WTF is the dongle for? I need to google this shit now, just to be asolutely clear. If true, that's kinda lame. Not the unbelievable mess the Switch has going on, but still lame. On that: This is even worse than what I thought it would be. Just having to use a phone, without voice-chat functionality being built in was already stupid. This is a clown show.

I have two of the gold headsets, and they are indeed wireless (and bluetooth at that) . While I don't use them much, they've worked as expected every time I've used them. But that's just my anecdote, take it with a grain of salt.

Thanks. That makes sense. I couldn't see how it wouldn't be wireless, as it would be profoundly stupid to take such a step backwards, while also throwing in a dongle that's strictly ornamental.
