We're mostly good at this package except for few things: we want more tips and a even just a soft carrying pouch.

It looks professional looking, very elegant!
Comfort / Isolation
Checking its isolation, its good enough to block the noise of people chatting beside you. Even some speakers on loud volume won't be audible once this thing is on your ears.
Battery Life
One of the highlights of Onkyo E200BT is it can last for up to 10 hours on a single charge. On paper, that is at least 4 hours more on most Bluetooth powered earphones we tested in the past.In real life usage, it is almost as good as advertised. We recorded 7 hours and 48 mins of straight music playback on 60% volume. We only charge this earphones 2x a week. Charging time is roughly around 2 hours from 0 to 100 percent.
Sound Quality / Performance

Setting up the device is easy, it can pair with up to 8 devices, connect up to 2 devices a the same time, and has a Bluetooth range of 10 meters. It also has an English voice prompt that tells you when the devices is "connected" or "phone 2 connected" and "battery low" when you need to charge. Like what we stated above, this IEM has Pause, Play, Next, and Previous buttons for multimedia controls.
However, there are several instances where we experienced loss of connection when our player is in our pockets or when we are moving. For PC use, connecting and reconnecting it is harder compared to using mobile phones. For steady use, you won't have a problem at all.
Onkyo's well loved house sound is present with E200BT!It's sound-quality is also on par or better than most expensive Bluetooth powered earphones we tested this year. While it isn't as detail freak compared to the E700M, Onkyo was able to retail its distinct warm and smooth house sound that we love. The sound is close to natural sounding, clear, and fairly detailed for a Bluetooth powered device.
Bass region is well emphasized and slightly enhanced that provides deep slams and engaging sub-bass vibrations. It's tight enough, even if it isn't as fast as we wanted. Mids are crisp, clear, detailed enough even for nitpicky listeners. Highs has proper extensions, though hiss is hearable at times. Soundstage has slightly above average hall-like wideness. We find it decent on most genres.
Rated at 16 Ohms, this earphones is also easy to drive. Usually, 50 - 70% loudness is enough for us. It's not as loud as the AD503 by Musicanywhere, but there's less audible distortion with this set.
Microphone quality is surprisingly good as well.
