  • Updated

EP 01 is the first shoe with DropLabs Technology™. It’s an amplified audio experience that converts sound energy into vibrations with a range of intensity you can feel throughout your entire body.

There are two important parts on the back of the heels of EP 01:

  1. Button light
    • Press the button light to turn your EP 01 on or off, and ready EP 01 for pairing.
    • The color of the light tells you which state your EP 01 is in. Note: You can turn off the light from the Main screen of the Drop Labs app. 
  2. Charging port
    • Connect the charger’s magnetic connector to charge your EP 01.
    • Connect the optional Low-Latency Gaming Cable for gaming, watching movies, or creating music. Use it for when every millisecond counts.

How it works: On the go with wireless Bluetooth®

Your EP 01 uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone and headphones, so you can take the sensation on the go. 

Here’s how it works (after you’ve set up your EP 01):

  1. You play music, movies, or other content on your phone. 
  2. Your phone streams sound to EP 01 via Bluetooth.
  3. Your EP 01 turns the sound into vibrations.
  4. Your EP 01 streams the full sound to your headphones.
  5. Your headphones play the sound. 
  6. You use the Drop Labs app like a remote control for your EP 01:
  • Adjust the intensity of sensation in your EP 01.
  • Apply filters to change the feel of the sensation (tap  Settings > Filters)
  • Pair and control headphones. 
  • Control all other aspects of your EP 01. 

How it works: Wired with the Low-Latency Gaming Cable

If you want to connect to a wired audio source — such as a gaming console — use the Low-Latency Gaming Cable. 

Your EP 01 will work a little different when connected to Low-Latency Gaming Cable compared to Bluetooth audio. 

Here’s what’s different:

  • Your EP 01 uses the Low-Latency Gaming Cable as the audio source instead of Bluetooth audio. 
  • Audio is not streamed from your phone.
  • Your Bluetooth headphones will disconnect when the Low-Latency Gaming Cable connects. Any media playback on your phone will also be stopped.
    • If you want to use headphones while the Low-Latency Gaming Cable is connected, use the Headphone Splitter.

Here’s what’s the same:

  • The Drop Labs app will still be your remote control to adjust intensity and control the sensation.
  • Your EP 01 turns the sound into vibrations.
  • You use the Drop Labs app to adjust intensity, apply filters, and control all aspects of your EP 01. EP
