Wireless Performance

The included USB-C wireless dongle establishes a 2.4 GHz radio connection with the headset, providing a reliable 10-meter operating range. Over more than 50 hours of using the Alphyn AH10, the wireless connection performed consistently well. I did encounter a single instance of disconnection and automatic reconnection for reasons unknown, but as it was an isolated event, I consider it negligible.


PowerColor includes two adapters with the Alphyn AH10: a USB-C to USB Type-A adapter and a USB-C extension adapter featuring female connectors on both ends. The extension adapter allows you to convert the male USB-C connector on the dongle into a female one. This enables you to connect the Wi-Fi receiver to your source using any USB-C cable, which is particularly useful for positioning the receiver closer to the headset.

Battery Life

According to the official specifications, the PowerColor Alphyn AH10 offers up to 30 hours of usage in wireless mode, which aligns with my own measurements. Notably, I reached the 30-hour mark by using the headset at a comfortable volume level, which PowerColor also obviously used for their testing. This is commendable, as many manufacturers conduct battery tests at unrealistically low volumes, resulting in figures that don't reflect typical real-world usage.

Unfortunately, there's no way to check the headset's battery level at any given time. The PowerColor Keystone software driver doesn't display it, and the headset itself lacks any form of battery notification. On the plus side, the headset supports quick charging, providing two hours of wireless playtime with just 10 minutes of charging - provided you're using a power source that supports USB Power Delivery.
