Visually, the earbuds are rather simple, a set of two black matte, rectangular pieces with silver highlights that stick out ever-so-slightly from your ears when inserted. “For the GTW 270 Hybrid we strived to have full immersion in experiential games. This is something that will only be possible through the aptX codec which has higher bandwidth.”

Just a note for competitive players, though: “A low latency only supports the playback channel, which is why the GTW 270 Hybrid is not suited for competitive/online multiplayer games such as Fortnite or CS:GO,” EPOS notes. If you’re using a PC, you can also download the EPOS Gaming Suite for Windows in order to access 7.1 virtual surround sound at 16 bit / 48 kHz audio.

While you can admittedly use Bluetooth to connect to your Android or PC - and can pair with up to eight devices at that - the USB-C dongle provides for low latency connections. The earbuds pair with little difficulty on any supported platform, using Bluetooth on an iOS phone or tablet and a USB-C dongle (and USB-A adaptor, if required) for Android devices, Switch, PS4, PS5 or PC. In fact, I tried just that with great success. This means you can take on a Destiny 2 Raid using the devices, then pair them with your phone and go for a jog later on. The hybrid earbuds are designed to not only serve as a gaming headset for the likes of your PC, PlayStation or Switch (but sadly, not Xbox), but as wireless earbuds for mobile devices and anything else that supports Bluetooth.
