Man the way you create a room and make parties look and sound really convoluted. I'm not sure what the hell they're thinking. In the Wii U you can just like, party up in game. Why would you want someone to open up the app and then invite people there for friends?
And you can only use the app's features with the screen on AND using the app. I understand that once the app goes out of focus, it should be in the background. At least give us a way to dim the app.
And it turns out the Hori squid headset (I intended to use Hori's website but getting to its Japan products page is near-unaccessible) is actually the optimal way of playing Splatoon 2. Wow.
While I doubt the Switch will have any issues with selling off like hotcakes this app is discouraging people from using their online service in a major way. I'd rather have what they got with the Wii U.
Edit: One major problem here for me. Hong Kong is a launch country for the Switch. But I can't download the app on Google Play because it's disabled for Hong Kong. So is Nintendo looking for people from HK to only play local? What the hell?
And given Nintendo's stance for not installing things "correctly" (sideloading the app, installing the apk) which can possibly lead to a ban, this feels more of a risk than anything.
I think this does what you want

This is Nintendo's answer to the chat + game audio problem, using their official Splatoon 2 headset. (Amazon.com link)
Nintendo hasn't mentioned anything about other retro consoles yet.
It's the absurd Nintendo-way to mix game audio and voice chat: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-Splat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A
Looks like you cannot get the adapter without the headset..!
I use AirPods and have had a pretty good experience. I’m sure it would sound better if I used my Hyper X Clouds that I use for Xbox and PC gaming but then I can’t hear TV audio. You need a mixer for that.

Here is the link 29.99 US dollars , I doubt Nintendo would allow them to be offically licensed and only sell it in Japan, but I also doubt any retailers will stock it right now as it doesnt offically release until the 21st but who knows Amazon may be your best bet
Have you tried Amazon? I preordered mine the same time splatoon 2 went back up for preorder on the website. Try this link: HORI Nintendo Switch Splatoon 2 Splat & Chat Headset
There is the official Splatoon headset:

Even if you don't use the headset the mixer could be what you want.
There is another solution I found with previous searches, but I just can't find it again.
I'm looking for something that would function similar to the mixer that Hori used to sell. Need to merge two audio outputs (switch and voice) into one set of headphones. This is the item that is out of stock: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A0PVN5A
I think its a little early for that still.
Hell, the only product reviews i could find appear be to misplaced from a totally different product

You can’t do both. That’s why they made this monstrosity.
I don’t own this product but it allows you to have game audio and voice chat. HORI Nintendo Switch Splatoon 2 Splat & Chat Headset https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A0PVN5A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZgROBbFV0EFCC
Do you already have one, or are you planning on purchasing one? If it's the latter, just buy that Hori Splatoon headset. You can disconnect the headset and plug whatever you want (so long as it's using a standard 3.5mm jack) into the mixer.
Honestly, I've been looking around and maybe I don't have the terminology right, but I can't find anything as compact as this that does the same job. If you have, I'd be curious to see what it looks like and how much it costs.

I was reading in another thread (it's been a while but I think it was just a daily questions thread) and someone mentioned this headset https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-Splat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A for just the mixer (not the headset itself) and using your own headset. If you look through the reviews a few people talk about it in more detail. Can't give my own input since I haven't tried it, but if you already have a nice headset and you just want to mix chat audio and game audio, you might want to look into this.
Seems I was wrong! Just went up for pre-order on Amazon US here
i got this thing back when it was being sold https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-2-Splat-Chat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A/ref=dp_csx_sw_pr_acc_2
it comes with a really cheap mixer that doesnt require a power supply, obviously not the best quality but it does what it needs to
If you want something more official and a bit mid-range, try the mixer that comes with the Splatoon headset. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A0PVN5A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_eC6NAb6J8HAN5
The headphones are trash so use what you have or buy a new headset.
this thing
Pretty much this. It combines both sources into one headset.
The Hori Splatoon 2 headset includes an adapter for this.
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-Splat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A
I believe you can replace the headset and still use the adapter.
The splatoon headset should work for this. Not sure if it's exactly what you need, but give it a look.

I completely understand, I myself am probably going to pass until they release the standalone adapter.
Yes the headset is separate, according to the diagram in the images on various listings of the package. https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-Switch-Splatoon-Splat-Headset/dp/B01A0PVN5A
I think this is what you are looking for but yea it’s a mess...

What do you think about buying these

Buying just for the mixer of course lol

HORI Nintendo Switch Splatoon 2 Splat & Chat Headset
The official splatoon headset has a device that combines 2 line audio sources into one output. It's used to combine voice chat audio from your phone with the switch audio. You could use it, with your computer instead of your phone.
