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

The Mad Catz Cyborg F.R.E.Q. 5 is a stereo gaming headset finished in gloss black. It is built for players who want straightforward audio on PC or Mac without installing extra software. Large 50mm drivers deliver the sound, and a detachable noise-cancelling microphone handles voice chat. On-ear controls give quick access to volume and mute adjustments.

USB and 3.5mm Connection Options

The headset draws power through USB and includes both USB and 3.5mm cables in the box. The USB link enables the microphone and on-ear controls on computers. The 3.5mm cable lets you connect to devices that only offer an analogue jack, such as older MP3 players or controllers, though the inline controls and mic may not function over that connection.

50mm Drivers for Stereo Gaming

The 50mm drivers provide dynamic stereo output suited to gaming, music and general media playback. The detachable boom microphone isolates your voice from background noise during multiplayer sessions. This is a stereo headset, so buyers who want virtual surround processing or wireless freedom will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

How long before the detachable noise-cancelling microphone might need replacing?

The microphone detaches for easy removal, so you can swap only the mic if the boom or capsule wears out instead of replacing the whole headset.

What connection limit appears first during marathon sessions?

The fixed USB and 3.5 mm cables set the maximum reach from your PC or Mac; you cannot extend the distance without an extra coupler.

How much heat or fan noise does the USB-powered headset produce after hours of use?

It draws power passively over USB with no active cooling, so it stays silent and only warms slightly around the ear cups during long play.
