In the following I have put together a few headphones and headsets for all three connection options. When using Bluetooth headphones on the Nintendo Switch, note that you need a corresponding adapter on the USB-C or USB-A port; best with aptX LL codec. You can read what it is and which gadgets are recommended in this separate guide.

Nintendo Switch (Lite) headphones with cable and jack
You can connect "normal" headphones via the regular headphone connection on the top of the Nintendo Switch (2017) and Nintendo Switch Lite (2019). About the Apple EarPods as earplugs or the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II Basic as an over-ear alternative. For alternating use as a Bluetooth and jack model, I can also recommend the TaoTronics TT-BH22; You can find a test report on the noise canceling headphones with this link. If you prefer to connect in-ear headphones to the Nintendo Switch via 3,5 mm jack when you're on the go, then they are Anker Soundbuds certainly not the worst choice.

Nintendo Switch Lite USB-C headphones
Both the Nintendo Switch (2017) in handheld mode and the Nintendo Switch Lite (2019) do not have a USB-A port when they are used. There is only one USB-C port on the device itself. In the absence of a dedicated Lite console, I can't say 100 percent whether it will work with USB-C headphones and headsets. However, since picture, sound and control commands also go in and out via the connection in the larger version, the mobile audio output should at least work on it. Please write as a comment if you have already tested a USB-C headset on the Switch Lite. Thanks! According to the star rating, they would be recommended Luvfun EarPods copy as well as the TriLink in-ears.
