Affordable Switch 2 headset choice: the latest Airlite Fit is a worthwhile selection for budget-conscious consumers
The Turtle Beach Airlite Fit Wired Headset is now available for pre-order, priced at £19.99 in the UK and $27.99 in the US. This lightweight, officially licensed gaming headset is specifically designed for the Nintendo Switch 2, but it is also compatible with all prior Switch systems, including the Switch Lite and Switch OLED.
Key features and specifications of the Airlite Fit Wired Headset include 40mm speakers with Neodymium magnets, delivering immersive audio with crisp highs and deep, thundering bass for clear game sound details. The headset sports a closed over-ear design, featuring elevated jersey knit cushions and foam padding for comfort and noise isolation.
The headband cushion is made of jersey knit material with foam cushioning, ensuring lightweight comfort during extended play sessions. The headset also comes with a fixed bi-directional flip-to-mute noise-canceling mic, allowing clear voice chat and easy muting by flipping the mic up.
The Airlite Fit Headset connects via a 3.5mm jack, ensuring compatibility with the Nintendo Switch 2 and older Switch consoles, as well as other devices with a standard headphone jack. The cable length is approximately 3.8 ft (1.15 m), and the headset weighs very lightweight at 0.50 lbs (228 g), suitable for long gaming sessions without discomfort.
The new Airlite Fit model sports a matching black, red, and blue design that matches with the Switch 2's aesthetic. It is targeted as a budget-friendly option, priced around $27.99 while delivering quality audio and comfort for casual and competitive gamers alike.
The Airlite Fit Headset has been tested and found to produce a rich soundstage for games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza. It is not equipped with Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless audio, EQ customization, spatial audio support, or RGB lighting. However, it offers a level of build and sound quality that similarly cheap no-name brand headsets on US retailers like Amazon can't always seem to muster.
The Turtle Beach Airlite Fit Wired Headset is perfect for individuals who need a budget-friendly, lightweight, and portable gaming headset for travel or for children. The headset will be available from September 3 for $27.99 / £19.99. Additionally, a black and white model of the Airlite Fit Headset is also available to pre-order for £19.99 at Amazon UK.
