Can anyone help me with using Nintendo via Xbox handset and wireless headphones?!

It sounds complicated because it is.
Basically, the Nintendo switch is plugged into the tv with HDMI lead.
There's a Mayfair controller adapter https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079B5KHWQ?ref=ppxpopmobapshare&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21 dongle plugged into the Nintendo switch USB post that allows the x-box controller to be used.

Elsewhere in the house, there's an Xbox attached to a different tv screen, with the other Xbox controller. In THIS controller it's possible to plug in a wired headset with mic and play with sound.

But with the Xbox controller being used on the Nintendo switch, no wired headphones work. Husband thinks it needs a second dongle attached to the Nintendo switch, to be able to somehow connect wifi headphones and mic so he can join in with voice chat and not have to yell into the other room.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I don't know what to look for or what it might be called. Or even if it exists. I am keen to get something as all my weekends are spent wishing I could have a slightly quieter house, and this is my life for the next few years. I considered wearing noise cancelling headphones but we also live in a properly where you can hear word for word through the walls, so it's not just about my peace and quiet!

Any help would be gratefully received.
