These are inexpensive add-ons that add a more traditional controller design to the Switch, are fairly durable, and have extra features like back buttons built into them. You can also grab the smaller (but still comfy) Split Pad Compact for only $35 at Amazon, down from $50.

While this is an older model, you're still getting an excellent level of audio quality, a plush design that makes them comfy to wear for hours on end, and ANC that tunes out any distracting sounds around you. This is another deal that Amazon will do a price-match on.
