We generally make targeted choices between traditional headsets and e-sports headsets. After all, there are not many headphone products on the market that can be combined into one and perform well in both aspects. As for e-sports headsets, especially for computer games, Most of them are headsets and . Relatively speaking, headsets are particularly good at playing game audio. So, if you want to find a pair of all-round headphones that can meet both daily needs and e-sports use on a variety of devices, is there such a perfect headphone product? The answer is: you will know the answer after reading this content.
First of all, let’s talk about this brand: "EPOS". EPOS (formerly Sennheiser ) belongs to Demant, the world's leading audio and hearing aid technology group, with more than 115 years of innovation and acoustic technology. Experience, and at the same time, it is also the official audio partner of many international e-sports teams, such as Aston Martin F1 Team and its e-sports teams, ESL, MAD Lions, Heroic, PSG.LGD, etc. EPOS's professional strength is highly regarded The recognition of the top international industries shows the strength of EPOS.
After "flying solo" from the Sennheiser game series, EPOS has launched many series, such as the H3 series. With its superior technology, both in terms of sound quality and compatibility, it has conquered many audiophiles and gained a good reputation. In May 2022, EPOS launched three wireless headphones at once that won the "Four German iF Design Awards": H3 Hybrid, H3PRO Hybrid and GTW 270 Hybrid.
H3 Hybrid and H3PRO Hybrid are wireless headsets with multiple connection functions launched by EPOS for Chinese gamers. The other one is the GTW 270 Hybrid true wireless gaming headset that I just got. So, this Is a pair of EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid gaming headsets excellent? Can it meet our daily and multi-platform (device) e-sports needs? Let’s take a look at it together!
『High-end design - compact ergonomic structure』
EPOS GTW270 Hybrid true wireless gaming headset. Before I got it, I didn’t know its specifications in detail. When I first took it out of the box, Only then did I discover that it is very compact (charging compartment), and the titanium gray + fine frosting process highlights the high-end texture. To be honest, anyone who picks it up will have this first impression. It is very eye-catching, and it also feels great in the hand.
The distribution design of the charging socket, function keys, and indicator lights of the box is also very reasonable. The appearance of the entire charging compartment can be said to be without any sense of inconsistency. The color scheme of
headphones is a combination of black body and primary color of titanium metal. It has a mechanical feel, but if you look closely, you will find that the fashion sense is also good. The EPOS brand LOGO on the front is embellished, which just adds to the texture.
What is incompatible with the mainstream touch gesture technology on the market is that the GTW270 Hybrid uses a physical button design, which I think is nothing. The touch gestures are relatively flexible in use and can be operated with one finger, but sometimes recognition errors occur. . Although the physical buttons require two fingers to operate (two fingers to stabilize the headset and operate the buttons), the recognition is accurate, so each has its own merits.
I believe that careful friends should have noticed the metal contacts of this GTW270 Hybrid. They are completely different from the common double contacts of wireless earphones. Both earphones are equipped with 7 metal contacts each. This is also It means that this pair of headphones is unique. Data technology deployment, DAC decoding (consistent with external sound cards), audio personalization, etc. are all inseparable from these contacts.
『Completely compatible - not limited by "lines"』
EPOS Why has it won multiple German iF design awards and won recognition from international e-sports teams?

After connecting the USB-C adapter when playing games, it can truly achieve the effect of no sense of delay. This is a pair of gaming headsets that I have experienced so far. It is simply It's just physics.
In addition, the 1.5-meter USB-C and USB-A extension cables can be used for the consoles of various devices. They can be used in different devices and in different scenarios to achieve unrestricted effects, and this pair of audio-visual GTW270 The Hybrid gaming headset comes with the most complete set of accessories and manuals among the wireless headsets I have seen so far. There are several manuals, an extension cable, a USB-C (Type-C) adapter, and a silicone protective cover for the adapter. (carrying case), and a total of 4 sets of silicone earplugs of different specifications (including 1 set that comes with the headphones), it can be said that I was dazzled and gained a lot.
Dual-track standard Bluetooth® 5.1 and USB-C wireless adapter, in addition to being compatible with all platform devices, its clear communication quality is also quite excellent, effectively suppressing various environmental noises, whether it is listening to music, talking on the phone, or playing games.

Automatic priority identification provides audio for which device, which also brings great convenience in daily use.
"Enjoy quality - powerful sound quality in multiple scenes"
In terms of sound effects, it uses binaural rendering technology + built-in DAC decoder and 7.1 surround sound effect. It is a perfect match for e-sports. With DAC decoder, there is no need for an external sound card. , you can obtain accurate recognition of various detailed sound effects of the game, and these functions can be enabled with EPOS Gaming Suite software, a PC client. The voice function when the wireless adapter is connected can also be realized through firmware updates. Through the client, you can call preset sound effects, game sound effects, music, film and television sound effects, etc. Professionals can also set their own personalized sound effects through the mixer to create their own exclusive sound effects, allowing people to enjoy the immersive sound effects. Effect.
aptX audio decoding low-latency technology, as well as many superb technical algorithms and 7.1 surround sound effects, are not only excellent in games, but also excellent in audio and video audio performance. On ordinary headphones, it is difficult to achieve the same excellent performance in all three frequencies. , it is okay to use mid- and high-frequency occasionally, but the bass is often not satisfactory. The three frequencies of Yinbo GTW270 Hybrid are relatively balanced. Among the excellent performance capabilities of mid- and high-frequency, the performance of low-frequency is also particularly NB. The depth of the dive is not too fragrant. In addition, the vocal reproduction of mid- and high-frequency is delicate, as well as various The subtle resolution of the instruments and the sound quality are really impeccable.
"Other details"
The Yinpo GTW270 Hybrid headset has a battery life of 5 hours with a single earphone, and a long battery life of 20 hours with the charging case. The temporary recharge of the headset for 15 minutes can provide 1 hour of performance, plus charging The battery compartment can be quickly charged in 1.75 hours, so you don’t have to worry about battery life for emergency use or carrying it out, which is still very good.
