EPOS offers latency-free gaming on the go with new GTW 270 Hybrid wireless in-ear headphones
From editor 1 month ago
EPOS presents the first exclusively EPOS-branded gaming peripheral for on-the-go.
The GTW 270 Hybrid wireless in-ear headphones want to set new standards for low-latency audio quality.
This is said to be made possible via the included USB-C dongle, thanks to which the in-ear headphones are said to be perfect for latency-free gaming sessions. Bluetooth connectivity also allows them to connect to a wide range of smartphones.
Designed for gaming on the go, the GTW 270 Hybrid are compatible with Nintendo Switch, Android smartphones, PC and Sony PlayStation. For those who are fully committed to Bluetooth compatibility, the GTW 270 is also available for pre-order now in a lower-priced version without a dongle.
High-quality audio anywhere
With up to five hours of battery life after just 90 minutes of charging, the GTW 270 Hybrid wireless in-ear headphones are said to be the ideal companion for casual gamers as well as hardcore gamers during gaming sessions no matter where you are. The included charging case in silver gray provides an additional 20 hours of charging time for longer gaming sessions.
With interchangeable rubberized ear tips in a variety of sizes and its ergonomic shape, the noise-isolating earbud conforms to the natural shape of the ears and is said to provide a comfortable fit. Thanks to a database of 800,000 ear scans provided to EPOS by its parent company Demant, EPOS engineers are said to have compared numerous designs with statistical data using AI technologies. Based on this, an earbud design is said to have been developed that reduces pressure on the ear to negligible levels while providing an excellent acoustic seal and state-of-the-art in-ear acoustics. The GTW 270 Hybrid are also waterproof to IPX 5 standards, protecting them from sweat and light rain.
“With its discreet yet premium design, the GTW 270 Hybrid are a great product for those looking for excellent wireless in-ear headphones for gaming on the go with the best possible latency-free audio quality. Whether diving into a gaming session on a quick break or playing a few rounds of your favorite game on the Switch or your smartphone on the way to work, the GTW 270 Hybrid provide uncompromised sound for gamers wherever they are,” said Maja Sand-Grimnitz, Head of Global Marketing at EPOS.”
The Power of Audio
Unlike other wireless in-ear headphones, the GTW 270 Hybrid’s low-latency aptX codec is said to deliver clear audio with closed acoustics: for gaming sound that fully immerses gamers. The ergonomic shape of each earbud combined with proprietary miniature EPOS audio drivers are said to deliver deep, powerful bass, natural mids and crisp highs for unmatched sound quality designed specifically for gaming sessions. In addition, the GTW 270 Hybrid offer standard Bluetooth 5.1 for dual-channel speaker and microphone transmission. The dual microphones on the in-ear headphones are said to ensure clear communication and reduce background noise for a comprehensive multiplayer gaming experience.
In addition to standard Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity to any Bluetooth-compatible device, the GTW 270 Hybrid’s USB-C wireless dongle is compatible with Nintendo Switch and Android smartphones. A 1.5-meter USB-C to USB-A cable for PC and Sony PlayStation consoles is also included.
Price and availability
Included with the EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid are a mobile charging case, a USB-C dongle, different sized earbuds, and a USB-C-to-USB-A cable. The suggested retail price is €199 EUR.
The GTW 270 (version without dongle) is also available for pre-order now at a suggested retail price of €169 EUR.
