I picked up a little USB C attachment. There are a few options on Amazon but I chose the one below.

Pros:

Not too difficult to set up with your wireless Ear Buds or headphones.

Comes with a USB to USB C dongle that works with the Switch dock.

Has a USB C port on it so you can charge while using.

Cons:

Because it attaches to the bottom of your Switch it won't work with any charging case I know of.

So undocked you have to pick it up to play and charge using a standard Smartphone charger and USB to USB C or USB C to USB C cable (if the charger supports that.)

On some games (Tokyo Mirage Sessions comes to mind) my Jabra earbuds did not play very loud even with the volume maxed out.

There's a headphone volume limiter in the Switch's settings that you can turn off. If you haven't done that already.

I need a Bluetooth dongle. I have a set of Bluetooth speakers I got as a Christmas present that I want to connect my Switch to.

That's a nice setup to go full wireless.
