How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a versatile everyday Bluetooth headphone that also works wired, with a built-in mic and a long 15-hour battery, choose PowerLocus Over-Ear Headphones; if you need a dedicated TV listening system with a transmitter base that plugs into your TV's audio outputs and shares the signal with more than one headset, choose PROW TV Headphones.
• PowerLocus biggest strength: True all-rounder — Bluetooth 5.3 plus a 3.5mm wired option, built-in noise-reduction mic for calls, Micro SD/TF and FM playback, foldable design with a protective case, and up to 15 hours of music playback from a 400mAh battery.
• PowerLocus biggest trade-off: It's a general-purpose headphone, not a TV audio solution. There's no transmitter base and no optical/coaxial/RCA input, so it won't tap directly into a TV's wired audio outputs.
• PROW biggest strength: Purpose-built for TV watching — an RF transmitter base connects via 3.5mm, RCA, optical or coaxial, and one transmitter can pair with multiple PROW headsets of the same model so several people can listen at once.
• PROW biggest trade-off: It's a single job tool. No Bluetooth, no calling mic, no SD/FM playback, and a shorter 6-month warranty. PROW itself notes it's not suitable for people with severe hearing impairment.
• Who each pick is for: PowerLocus for commuters, students, gym users and anyone who wants one headphone across phone, tablet and PC; PROW for households where someone wants private, clear TV audio — especially seniors who want a no-pairing, turn-on-and-listen setup.
The PowerLocus P2 is designed as a do-everything wireless headphone. It runs Bluetooth 5.3 with a stated range of about 36 feet, and it also accepts a 3.5mm cable, so you can go wireless on your phone and then plug in when the battery is low or when you're on a device without Bluetooth. That dual-mode approach is the most useful thing about it, and it's what separates it from a TV-only headset. There's also a Micro SD/TF card slot and FM radio built in, which is unusual at this end of the market and genuinely handy if you want music without tying up your phone.
On the hardware side, you get 40mm dynamic drivers, 32 ohm impedance and a frequency range of 200Hz–20,000Hz, with a 400mAh lithium-polymer battery rated for roughly 15 hours of music and 14–15 hours of talk time. Charging takes about 2.5 hours over USB-C. The earcups use memory-protein foam wrapped in leather, the headband is stretchable, and the whole thing folds down into the included protective case. At around 150–165g it's light enough to wear for a long stretch. The built-in mic uses dual-microphone noise reduction and echo cancellation, so it's usable for calls, not just an afterthought.
Buy it if you want one headphone for music, calls, podcasts and travel, and you like the idea of a wired fallback plus SD/FM playback. Skip it if your main goal is watching TV — you'd be paying for Bluetooth and a mic you won't use, and it can't connect to a TV's optical or coaxial output. It backs itself with a 2-year warranty, which is a real confidence signal for a budget-priced brand.
The PROW TV Headphones solve a specific and very common problem: someone in the house wants the TV louder (or wants to watch late at night) without blasting everyone else. The system is built around an RF transmitter base that connects to your TV through a 3.5mm audio cable, RCA, coaxial or optical output. That's the key difference from PowerLocus — PROW talks to your TV's actual audio ports, so the sound comes straight from the source rather than through a Bluetooth pairing dance.
Setup is deliberately simple, and that's clearly the design brief. The headset and transmitter come pre-paired from the factory, so there's no pairing step — you turn it on and listen. The manual walks you through confirming your TV's audio output type. That's about as close to "grandparent-proof" as a wireless audio product gets, which is why PROW positions this for seniors and parents. One transmitter can also feed multiple PROW headsets of the same model, so two people can watch together at their own volume.
The comfort spec follows the same logic: over-ear protein leather and memory foam earcups, an adjustable headband for any head size, and an ultra-light build at around 160g, aimed at long sessions without pressure. Inside you get 40mm dynamic drivers, 32 ohm impedance and a 20Hz–20kHz range — a wider low-end reach on paper than the PowerLocus. Controls are physical push buttons for media, which is easier for less tech-savvy users than touch controls.
Two things to weigh honestly. First, PROW states it's not suitable for people with severe hearing impairment — this is a private-listening product, not a hearing aid. Second, the warranty is only 6 months, which is short. Buy it if you want effortless TV audio for one or two people, especially for an older parent. Skip it if you also need Bluetooth for your phone — it doesn't do that.
• Best for everyday music and calls → PowerLocus Over-Ear Headphones. Bluetooth 5.3, a noise-reduction mic, and SD/FM playback cover far more situations.
• Best for private TV watching → PROW TV Headphones. The transmitter base plugs into 3.5mm, RCA, optical or coaxial and streams straight from your TV.
• Best for battery life → PowerLocus Over-Ear Headphones. Around 15 hours of playback on a 400mAh battery versus a 5-level battery indicator on the PROW with no hours stated.
• Best for the least technical setup → PROW TV Headphones. No pairing, no app, no Bluetooth menu — turn it on and it works, with push-button controls.
• Best for sharing audio → PROW TV Headphones. One transmitter can pair with multiple PROW headsets of the same model.
• Best for travel and portability → PowerLocus Over-Ear Headphones. It folds, comes with a protective case, and weighs roughly 150–165g.
• Best for long-term peace of mind → PowerLocus Over-Ear Headphones. A 2-year full warranty versus 6 months on the PROW.
• Best for wider low-frequency range on paper → PROW TV Headphones. Its stated range reaches down to 20Hz, against 200Hz for the PowerLocus.
In my opinion, the PowerLocus Over-Ear Headphones are the smarter buy for most people, because they cover music, calls, travel and wired listening in one device, and the 2-year warranty shows the brand stands behind it. I'd only steer you to the PROW TV Headphones if TV audio is the whole point — for a parent or grandparent who wants clear, private sound without learning Bluetooth. If that's your situation, PROW does that job better than any general-purpose headphone can. Everyone else should start with the PowerLocus. Either way, check the current price on Amazon before deciding, since both sit in budget territory and the gap between them matters.
FAQ
No. PROW uses RF wireless through its transmitter base and has no Bluetooth. It's designed for TVs and other devices with 3.5mm, RCA, optical or coaxial audio outputs. For phone use, PowerLocus is the correct pick.
Both use over-ear memory foam and protein leather, and both are lightweight — roughly 150–165g for the PowerLocus and about 160g for the PROW. The real difference is control type: PowerLocus uses touch controls, while PROW uses physical push buttons, which many older users find easier.
Yes. PowerLocus includes a 2-year full warranty. PROW lists a 6-month warranty. If long-term coverage matters to you, that's a meaningful difference between the two.
