FAQs
Are these earbuds compatible with other consoles or devices?
The Hori Earbuds Pro are officially licensed for the Nintendo Switch and are primarily designed for it. They feature a standard 3.5 mm connector, so they may work with other devices like PCs, smartphones, or other consoles that have a 3.5 mm headphone jack for audio output. However, specialized features like Nintendo Switch Online App integration will not function on other platforms.
How do I choose the right ear tip size?
Try each of the three provided ear tip sizes. The best fit will feel snug and secure in your ear without causing discomfort, and it should create a good seal to block out external noise and enhance audio quality.
Can I use the detachable microphone with the in-line microphone simultaneously?
No, you must choose to use either the in-line microphone or the detachable boom microphone. They cannot be used at the same time.
Does the product come with a warranty?
As the product is Officially Licensed by Nintendo and produced by HORI, it is recommended to check the specific warranty information provided with your purchase or on the HORI official website for details regarding warranty coverage.
How do I clean the earbuds?
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the earbuds and cables. The silicone ear tips can be removed and washed gently with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching them to the earbuds.
What is the purpose of the optional mixer for the Nintendo Switch Online App?
The optional mixer allows you to adjust the balance between game audio and voice chat audio coming from the Nintendo Switch Online App directly through the earbud controls, ensuring you can hear both clearly without one overpowering the other.
Troubleshooting
No sound from earbuds
Ensure the 3.5 mm jack is fully inserted into the Nintendo Switch. Check that the volume on the Nintendo Switch and the in-line control is turned up. Test the earbuds on another device to rule out an issue with the earbuds themselves.
Microphone not working
Verify that the correct microphone (in-line or boom) is properly connected. Ensure the microphone is not muted using the in-line control. Check the Nintendo Switch's audio settings to confirm the microphone input is recognized. If using the boom mic, ensure it is positioned correctly near your mouth.
Chat audio is too low or too high
Adjust the chat volume using the mixer function if available through the Nintendo Switch Online App. Use the in-line volume control to balance game audio and chat audio.
Audio quality is poor or distorted
Ensure the 3.5 mm jack is clean and free of debris. Try different ear tip sizes to achieve a better seal. Check for any physical damage to the earbuds or cable. Test on a different device to compare performance.
