The PowerLocus P1 is a cheap, feature-packed backup pair with decent sound, but its stiff ear cups pinch and ache after a couple of hours.

Third-party reviews

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

What customers like about Powerlocus P1

  • Excellent value for money, often described as an 'A+' in value for the price point
  • Versatile connectivity options including Bluetooth, 3.5mm wired mode, FM radio, and Micro SD card slot
  • Comes with a high-quality protective carrying case and extra cables included in the box
  • Lightweight and foldable design makes them highly portable for travel and gym use
  • Quick and stable Bluetooth pairing with multi-point connection support for two devices
  • Super soft protein foam earmuffs provide initial comfort for most users

What customers don't like about Powerlocus P1

  • Plastic build can feel cheap or flimsy, with some reports of the headband adjustment being shoddy
  • Comfort issues during extended wear, including ear-pinching due to limited earcup articulation
  • Sound profile may lack clarity in the mid-range and can sometimes feature muffled bass
  • Lacks active noise cancellation (ANC), relying solely on passive isolation which is less effective in loud environments
  • Cannot be used wirelessly while charging, and some users report battery drain if left overnight
  • Microphone quality is only adequate for casual calls and may experience slight echo or background noise interference

Verdict

The PowerLocus P1 is a versatile over-ear headphone featuring 40mm updated audio drivers and Bluetooth 5.3 technology, offering a stable wireless connection alongside FM radio and Micro SD card modes for offline listening. Key specifications include a frequency response of 20Hz–20,000Hz, a 300mAh battery providing up to 15 hours of wireless playtime, and a lightweight 170g foldable design with soft memory foam earmuffs for enhanced comfort. Main pros include its multi-point connection for pairing two devices simultaneously, universal compatibility with a 3.5mm AUX cable for limitless wired mode, and the inclusion of a premium protective carry case. However, notable cons include the lack of active noise cancellation (ANC) and reported issues with the build quality and ear cup articulation, which may affect long-term comfort for some users.
