The Brainwavz BLU 200 Earbuds are the successors to the BLU 100 Earphones and are just $10 more expensive then its much famous predecessors.
Inside The Box:
Brainwavz is always good at providing all you need inside the box, and there is no different with the BLU-200's. Opening up the white box, you are treated with the BLU 200's Inside a Red hardshell pouch.
Opening this pouch, we are provided with the following accessories.
- Hardcase for carrying the Earphones
- 3 Sets of Sillicone Ear Tips (Small, Medium, Large)
- 1 set of Comply Foam Tips (S-400)
- 1 pair of Ear Hooks for better grip of the ears

The pouch is a really hard case and will keep all of your accessories protected. Also, it is a small one so you can keep it inside any zip of your bag or even in your pocket. These small things add up to a really awesome OVERALL experience with a product and I would love to mention this. Other offerings at this price don't include such accessories which is a let down, but hey, you have Brainwavz to save your day!
You also get a really good quality Micro USB Cable, three different size earbuds, an ear grip, all of which are made out of really good quality.
One thing worth mentioning is that Brainwavz is providing a pair of Comply Eartips inside this which is really awesome.

BUILD & DESIGN:
The Brainwavz BLU-200 wireless Bluetooth earphones are designed in a stylish matt black aluminum body with an in-line remote which makes the audio experience great. The wires are tangle free so you don't have to scratch your head untying them. The Build Quality of the earphones is not the best. Don't get me wrong, for the price you are paying, you are getting an awesome build quality, but if you take the price off your mind, you will notice that the earphones and the wire and the buttons, all are really plasticy and clicky. You need to take care of the wires as they are really fragile. Once I was taking the earbuds off to change them, and the main part came out, exposing the wiring. So you need to really take care of these earphones, they will be completely fine if they are kept in their supplied hard case pouch.
The BLU-200 Earphones now have a 9.2mm dynamic driver as compared to the smaller, 8mm driver on the BLU-100's.
The earbuds are charged via the Micro USB Cable provided and the flipping away of the back plate of the right earphone. Another nice thing is the L & R Markings on the earphones indicating the left and right earpods.

Fit & Noise Isolation:
Despite their long size, the Brainwavz BLU 200 Perfectly fit in your ears. Installing the addtional ear hooks onto the comply eartips on the earphones will give you a really good experience. I can guarantee you one thing at least with the comply ear tips, once you properly fit these earphones to your ears, and you start dancing listening to the music, these won't leave your ears. They fit perfectly to my ears and despite the stupid dance and actions I Do, they don't move a bit away. This is one thing worth being applauded.
As per noise isolation is concerned, the earphones can block outside noise at around 40-50% which is not the best for an earphones of this size. Although if you play the music loud, they can completely block outside noise.

As per distance is concerned, the BLU 200 should give you at least 5-6 metres of BT Distance even with walls in between.
Sound Quality:
Bass:
The BLU 200 has got some real dope heavy bass on it. Those are some big words to describe the bass on these earphones. You won't actually notice the bass alot until you use an amp app or just enable bass boost on your equalizer. Once you do enable it, the difference is surreal. The earphones have got some charming amazing bass to them. At this price, you can't go wrong with these. These are the best bass heavy earphones that I have tested out at around $60 even. These earphones are aimed at the EDM Dubstep Croud and If you are a hip hop, EDM, Rock Lover, Look no further than these super awesome bass heavy earphones.
One really good thing on the bass part is that even on high volumes, the bass won't hurt your ears. It is soothing to the ears at the max volume as well.The larger dynamic driver in the BLU-200 is very colored and bass orientated to produce an out and out bass head experience.
Loudness:
The BLU 200 Earphones are really loud. You won't actually go above 70% volume on these earphones as they are extremely loud at that percentage.
Actually, if you go at around 80-90% volume, you will start hurting your ears.
Clarity & Overall Sound Quality:
Audio through the earphones is crisp and clear. There is no problem what so ever on these earphones regarding audio quality, whether it is bass, mids or any other thing. Every thing is perfectly balanced on these earphones unlike other earpods available at this price. Other earpods at this range either lack bass or some other key feature, but the BLU 200 are the perfect balance of bass, mids and treble.
Sound Quality: 9.5/10
Battery Life:
As per the battery life of these earphones is concerned. We are provided with a 60 mAh battery which takes around 2 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. The earphones provide a music playback time of around 3-4 hours which might be disappointing for many people. But keeping in mind what package you are getting for $50, you can easily let this thing go.
Battery life: 7/10
Our Verdict:
The BrainWavz BLU-200 Cost $54.50 on amazon.com and Rs 3,499 on Amazon India. These earphones are really good for the price with the only let down being the build quality and a tid bit the battery life. The plasticy feel will make you keep it protected and that is pretty much all about this product. I Would easily recommend these earphones to anyone looking for a really dope pair of earphones at this price range.
