White Stereo Gaming Headset for PC and Mac

The MAD CATZ F.R.E.Q. 5 is a white stereo gaming headset built for PC and Mac users. It uses extra-large 50mm speakers to deliver powerful stereo sound with deep bass and crisp highs. Tough yet lightweight metal components add strength and reliability for extended comfort during long sessions.

Gamers wanting a detachable microphone

The detachable noise-cancelling microphone coordinates with the headset for clear voice chat when needed. Easy-to-locate on-ear controls let you adjust volume or mute without hunting for inline switches. Buyers who need wireless freedom or virtual surround processing should look at other models.

50mm Speaker Drivers for Deep Bass and Crisp Highs

Precision-balanced 50mm speakers are the core audio component that defines the sound signature. Their extra-large size drives deep bass response while keeping high frequencies crisp. This single specification determines whether the headset matches the audio profile you prefer for gaming and media.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the headset produce during all-day use?

The headset has no active cooling or power supply, so it generates no measurable heat or noise of its own during extended sessions.

What must I already own to use the detachable microphone and on-ear controls?

You need a device with a standard analogue audio port that accepts the headset's connector for both stereo output and microphone input.

Will the 50 mm drivers work properly with an older PC or Mac that only has separate headphone and microphone sockets?

The single combined plug requires a splitter adapter to connect to separate audio-out and mic-in jacks on legacy systems.
