The actual battery life is more around 20/25 hours than the 30 hours announced by PowerColor. It will take a good two hours to fully charge your ALPHYN AH10 headset. As for the audio quality, it is very good and its wireless use is a real plus. The feeling when using it and the finish are at the same level as the last headsets we tested. On the one hand, we are happy to see PowerColor expand its product range, but if we had to end on a downside, it concerns the price, 99.90 euros that we would have liked to see around 75/80 euros. Thanks to PowerColor for providing us with this copy of the ALPHYN AH10, and why not, an ALPHYN AH10 Red Devil edition in a few months.

Build quality is robust, though certain design choices, like the hollow-feeling headband and exposed coiled wire, slightly detract from its premium appeal. With that being said, the Alphyn AH10 looks like it can take a tumble, and I have no problem believing it will last for years to come. With some refinements, PowerColor could transform this headset into a serious competitor in the gaming peripheral market. As it stands, however, the $100 price tag of the Alphyn AH10 might need to be adjusted downward if PowerColor aims to achieve a true breakthrough in a field they are only just beginning to explore.
