Design, comfort and battery life
The Wavefun T200's round charging case is quite big for s small set of half-in-ear, AirPods-like earbuds, but as this is a gaming pair, it kind of works.
The dark grey, transparant housing reveals a chipset on the front of the case, and the Wavefun logo lights up beautifully when you open and close the lid of the case. Because of its size, sturdiness and the hinge that has a firm click, this is a fun case to toy around with. The fact that you can see the earbuds charging within the case, is neat as well.
The earbuds are nothing special. They're as delightfully comfortable as AirPods-like designs can be, but they only offer up to an outdated 4 hours of playtime on a single charge. They also look generic, with their combination of matte and shiny black on the stems, which happily aren't too long.
Controls and connectivity
A single tap to play/pause music, double-taps to change the volume, hold to change tracks, triple-taps to (de)activate the game mode or voice assistant. The male voice prompt is annoyingly slow, but all the controls are right on the earbuds and the touch panels responds well to your input.
Don't expect fancy features like auto-pause when you take an earbud out or being able to connect to multiple devices. The basics work well, however, as the earbuds pair and connect quickly, and the Bluetooth connection remains stable up to 9-10 meters away from your device.
Calling and watching movies
The Wavefun T200 delivers as gaming earbuds. As the sound is very bright, it's easy to locate footsteps and gunshots around you in games like Call of Duty mobile, and the latency is fantastically low. The action you see and the things you hear go hand in hand in a near-perfect manner.
Unfortunately, your teammates will barely hear you. The microphone output is bad in both phone and video calls, bringing your voice too soft and too fragile; a bit of noise around you or a little breeze can drag away your voice entirely.

Sound quality of Wavefun T200: Oh no
The worst sounding earbuds ever to be tested on this site. Perhaps it's because the plastic on the earbud incapsulates the speaker front too far?
Even when you press the earbuds in your ears deeply, it's a shouty mess with blown-up upper-mids and highs. Let the earbuds go and you'll get the same shouty sound, but without the boomy bass and boosted lower-mids.
As you don't want to press your earbuds in your ears all the time, these are as unbalanced and painfully unlistenable as a $10 shower speaker.
Wavefun T200 comparisons
Wavefun T200 vs SoundPEATS Air 3
While the gaming mode on the comparably priced SoundPEATS Air3 has acceptable synchronization between audio and action, it doesn't match the low-latency of the Wavefun T200. The T200 also has more precise positioning of sounds around you, like gunshots and footsteps. Still, action on the SoundPEATS sounds much more engaging due to a stronger bass and more lower frequencies. Music is in another league, with a warmer, bassier, and more balanced tuning. The Air3 microphone is better, battery lasts around half an hour longer per charge, and the case is wonderfully compact. A good upgrade.

Wavefun T200 vs Edifier X6
It may not look like a pair of gaming earbuds, but the Edifier X6 is very suitable for the purpose. Its low-latency mode has a slightly more noticeable delay then the T200’s, but gives you a more dynamic sound and also great positioning of enemies and action around you. Moreover, the X6 great for phone and video calls, has 2 hours more battery life per charge, and its sound is livelier, more balanced, and more natural than the Wavefuns. The T200 is more comfortable.

Verdict
Wonderful low-latency and a sturdy and neat looking case can't save the Wavefun T200 from being appalling for regular everyday use.
Two stars - Disappointing
