The GTW 270s arrive in a well-designed box which showcases a depiction of the earbuds on the front and on the reverse we have the technical specifications. As far as unboxing experiences go, this a pleasant one which certainly reinforces that we’re dealing with a high-quality product.

Opening the box, inside, we have a medley of items which include the earbuds, USB-C dongle, charging case, and documentation – user guide, quick start guide and warranty info.




The earbuds adopt a monochrome theme which looks sleek and aesthetically pleasing. The only splash of colour arrives in the form of the gold contact points and LED indicators (signifying connection/battery status). The design of the GTW 270 is ergonomic but will sit slightly outside of the ear when in situ. The soft material used alongside the gel plug allow the buds to comfortable slot into the recess of the ear with ease.

There is just the one button on the left piece which allows basic playback like play, pause, skip. As well as providing support for Google Assist or Apple Siri to be initialised. Unfortunately, there is no volume dial – something which we feel should be included in some way.

Another thing to be aware of is the microphone. If you’re wanting to use GTW 270s for voice chat you will need to use Bluetooth – the dual microphones do not work using the USB-C route.
The earbuds feature a battery life which will hover around the 5 hour mark but can be dropped into the supplied case for charging. This case provides 15 hours of total charge time, allowing for 3 sessions of charging.

Like other earbuds the case manages connectivity to a device as well and it features a USB-C port which can be used for updating the firmware of the earbuds, USB-C dongle and the charging case itself. If Bluetooth is the desired connection type, the button on the front of the case needs to be depressed for 5s until the LEDs flash red – allowing you to pair with the device in question.

As with the earbuds, there are no compromises on build quality here, it has been expertly crafted.


EPOS provide the GTW 270 with a USB-C dongle which can be connected to a compatible device – the dongle acts as a receiver, allowing the earbuds to synchronise.
