Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Phaz P2

  • Unique built-in 1200mAh battery can charge smartphones or tablets via USB
  • Lightweight and sturdy carbon fiber frame with a foldable design for portability
  • Includes a built-in amplifier and a 'Bass Boost' feature that adds a 15dB kick
  • Social 'Share' port allows a second set of headphones to daisy-chain and listen simultaneously
  • Comfortable memory foam ear pads that are interchangeable with different colors
  • Functions in passive mode even if the battery is completely drained

What customers don't like about Phaz P2

  • Battery cannot power the audio boost/amplifier and charge a phone at the same time
  • Audio quality is often described as bright, harsh, or 'sizzly' at higher volumes
  • High retail price ($249) is hard to justify for the sound quality provided
  • Requires multiple cables to use both charging and listening functions simultaneously
  • 1200mAh capacity is too small to fully charge most modern smartphones
  • Shiny carbon fiber finish easily attracts fingerprints

Verdict

The Phaz P2 is a unique over-ear headphone featuring a built-in 1200mAh lithium-ion battery designed to charge mobile devices via a full-sized USB port while simultaneously powering an integrated amplifier and a switchable 15dB bass boost. Built with a lightweight carbon fiber frame and 40mm neodymium drivers, it offers a frequency response of 16Hz–22KHz, 105dB sensitivity, and a dedicated 3.5mm 'share' jack for daisy-chaining a second pair of headphones. Main pros include its innovative emergency power bank functionality, long 30-hour amplified battery life, and comfortable memory foam ear pads. However, notable cons include its inability to use the audio boost features while actively charging a phone, significant sound leakage from the ear cups, and a bulky setup requiring multiple cables for simultaneous use.
