How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a comfortable over-ear headset built for long Nintendo Switch sessions with a flip-to-mute boom mic, choose Turtle Beach Airlite Fit; if you need a cheap two-pack of USB-C in-ear earbuds for a phone with no headphone jack, choose BLXSounds 2. These two products barely compete for the same buyer, and that's the whole point of this comparison.
• Turtle Beach Airlite Fit — biggest strength: a proper over-ear gaming headset with 40mm drivers, a bi-directional boom mic that mutes when you flip it up, and a lightweight 8-ounce frame. Officially licensed for Nintendo Switch, and it also works with Switch 2.
• Turtle Beach Airlite Fit — biggest trade-off: it's wired with a 3.5mm jack, so there's no wireless freedom, and it's a single headset rather than a multi-device pack.
• BLXSounds 2 — biggest strength: a two-pack of USB-C wired earbuds, so you get a spare set (or one for a family member) and they plug straight into modern phones and tablets with a Type-C port.
• BLXSounds 2 — biggest trade-off: in-ear earbuds with a small inline remote can't match the sound staging, mic clarity, or all-day comfort of an over-ear gaming headset.
• Who the Turtle Beach Airlite Fit is for: Switch and Switch 2 players who want a dedicated gaming headset for voice chat and long sessions.
• Who the BLXSounds 2 is for: anyone with a USB-C phone who wants a simple, replaceable pair of wired earbuds for calls and everyday listening.
The Airlite Fit is unapologetically a gaming headset. Turtle Beach built it around 40mm dynamic drivers, which is a meaningfully larger driver than you'll find in typical earbuds, and that size is the reason it can push a wider frequency range — the spec sheet lists 20Hz to 20kHz with a 35-ohm impedance. In plain terms, that's a headset designed to run happily off a console controller or handheld's 3.5mm jack without needing an amp.
Comfort is clearly the other priority. The Airlite Fit weighs 8 ounces, uses oval, over-ear cups wrapped in jersey knit fabric over foam, and Turtle Beach explicitly frames the design around reducing strain on your head, neck, and ears during long sessions. Jersey knit breathes better than the leatherette you often see on cheap headsets, which matters if you play for hours.
Who should buy it: Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED owners — and Switch 2 owners — who play online, use voice chat, or just want a comfortable wired headset that doesn't need charging. The neon blue and red colorway is aimed squarely at that audience.
Who should skip it: If you listen mainly on a phone with a USB-C port and no headphone jack, this headset won't plug in without an adapter. And if you want wireless, look elsewhere — this is a wired 3.5mm product.
BLXSounds 2: Who It's For
The BLXSounds 2 is a different animal entirely. It's a two-pack of wired, in-ear USB-C earbuds — model EASC16S-BLACK — with a tangle-free TPE cable, an inline button remote, and sound isolation. You get two identical pairs in the box, which is the defining feature here.
The connectivity is the whole story. There's no 3.5mm jack; it's USB-C only, aimed at Samsung Galaxy phones, iPhone 15/16/17, and other Type-C devices. If your phone dropped the headphone jack years ago and you're tired of dongles, this is the plug-and-play answer. The 16-ohm impedance makes them easy to drive — low impedance like that means even a phone's modest output can get them loud, which is exactly what you want from earbuds meant for mobile use.
The feature list is short and honest: noise isolation, a multifunction inline control, durable construction, and a tangle-free design. That's it. There's no boom mic, no flip-to-mute, no oversized drivers. The mic is built into the inline remote, so it's fine for phone calls and voice memos but not built for competitive gaming chat.
Who should buy it: Anyone with a USB-C phone who wants a spare pair of earbuds, parents buying for kids (the age range covers adults and kids), or someone who keeps one pair at home and one in a bag. The two-pack format is the selling point — lose one, and you're still covered.
Who should skip it: Console gamers, PC players who want a boom mic, and anyone who prefers over-ear comfort. These are in-ear buds with a small driver and a button remote, and they're not trying to be a gaming headset.
• Best for Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 gaming → Turtle Beach Airlite Fit. It's officially licensed for the platform and plugs into the console's 3.5mm jack.
• Best for clear voice chat → Turtle Beach Airlite Fit. The bi-directional boom mic with flip-to-mute beats an inline remote mic for game comms.
• Best for long-session comfort → Turtle Beach Airlite Fit. Over-ear jersey knit cushions and an 8-ounce frame are built for hours, not minutes.
• Best for phone calls and everyday listening → BLXSounds 2. USB-C plug-and-play with an inline multifunction remote.
• Best for USB-C-only phones (Galaxy, iPhone 15/16/17) → BLXSounds 2. No adapter needed.
• Best for getting a backup pair → BLXSounds 2. It ships as a two-pack, so you always have a spare.
• Best for travel and pocketability → BLXSounds 2. In-ear buds with a tangle-free cable disappear into a pocket; a full headset doesn't.
• Best for gaming audio quality → Turtle Beach Airlite Fit. 40mm dynamic drivers versus small in-ear drivers is not a close contest for immersion.
My Verdict
Yes. It's officially licensed for Nintendo Switch and also works with Nintendo Switch 2, plus Switch Lite and Switch OLED. It connects via a standard 3.5mm jack, so it works with anything that has that port.
Yes — those iPhones use USB-C, which is exactly what these earbuds use. Just remember there's no 3.5mm option, so they won't fit older Lightning iPhones or a Switch's headphone jack.
For gaming voice chat, the Turtle Beach Airlite Fit wins — it has a dedicated bi-directional boom mic with flip-to-mute. The BLXSounds 2 uses an inline remote mic, which is fine for phone calls but not ideal for team comms.
Check the current price on Amazon for both before deciding, since value depends on what's available when you buy. As a rule, if you only need earbuds for a USB-C phone, the two-pack BLXSounds 2 covers more devices for the money; if you need a gaming headset, the Airlite Fit is the one that does the job properly.
