True wireless gaming earbuds are definitely tantalising on paper, and there's no doubt that EPOS’ have a lot going for them. The USB-C dongle is undoubtedly the main draw here, with its low latency wizardry making all the difference when you’re playing a game. It doesn’t hurt that the GTW 270 Hybrid buds look and sound pretty great too. But the limitations of the aptX codec mean these buds are all but useless if you need to talk to other people on the microphone, ruling out most online multiplayer games. Even if that’s not technically EPOS’ fault, it’s hard to ignore. Switching between connected devices is annoying too, and while the GTW 270 Hybrid do an admirable job of blocking external sound by design, the lack of noise-cancelling at this price is questionable. A mixed bag, then, but if you take your Switch with you everywhere you go, enjoy mobile gaming and like the idea of saving a bit of space in your backpack, these buds are well worth a look.
