Precision-Balanced, Extra Large 50mm Drivers with Neodymium Magnets

 

Utilizing the highest quality drivers available for use in commercial headsets - - Neodymium - - the F.R.E.Q. 5 Stereo Gaming Headset feeds high-fidelity audio through a pair of amplified 50mm speakers for deep bass and crisp undistorted highs.

 

Tough Yet Lightweight Metal Components

 

Built to the same exacting standards as the award-winning Mad Catz R.A.T. and constructed to survive the stress of LAN tournaments, the F.R.E.Q. 5 couples comfort with sturdiness to accommodate extended gaming sessions.

 

Lightweight metal components provide ample adjustability to give you a customized fit - - and the cans even fold flat to support an around-the-neck resting position - - all while bringing a level of durability previously unheard of in PC gaming headsets.

 

Detachable Noise-Canceling Microphone with Illuminated Mute Notification

 

When not using to the mic to communicate with your online teammates, a headset's microphone only gets in the way. Problem solved with the Mad Catz F.R.E.Q. 5's removable solution - - it provides the freedom to use the mic only when necessary. And when gaming in loud environments, advanced noise cancelation stifles ambient sounds to ensure your conversations are crystal-clear.

 

Toggling the microphone mute button prevents your teammates from hearing anything you don't want them to, and red LED illumination in the tip of the detachable mic will never make you wonder whether or not they can hear you.

 

Easy to Locate On-Ear Controls

 

Intuitive placement of all controls provides simple adjustability without the need to remove the headset. Mute the mic, tweak the volume, and toggle equalizer settings all while keeping your eyes on your monitor.
