Mad Catz Cyborg F.R.E.Q.5

Zitat: MSreco_highend The F.R.E.Q. 5 headset from Mad Catz is quite robust thanks to the light metallic components and has also proven to be comfortable even after one hour and a half of continuous use while listening to music, playing games and watching TV shows over the web. Depending on the audio content, we can switch the EQ settings on the fly, by using the carefully placed button. Also, the volume wheel precision is good and can be used while we have the headset connected via USB. Speaking of the connectivity, the F.R.E.Q. 5 comes with two different cables, one for using the headset with mobile devices or for connecting it directly to our sound card and the other USB, which will work successfully on PC and Mac platforms. The sound quality on 3.5mm also depends on the input but when trying it along with a Creative Titanium HD, the headset reproduced both high and low frequencies in a good manner. Using the USB interface will deliver the same audio quality on all platforms, with the ability to make subtle changes by switching the EQ profiles; the headset does not come with extra software and it will work with the default drivers. For testing out the microphone, we have used the USB interface and Skype; the parties on the other side of the line heard us well, without additional buzz and we found the LED microphone mute feature pretty handy. The new F.R.E.Q. 5 headset from Mad Catz can be found online for about 115 Euros.
