Product details

The Mad Catz F.R.E.Q.4D Stereo Headset delivers bright, magnificent sounds from your favorite music. The ViviTouch module produces bass effects that you typically only experience from a subwoofer. This is particularly noticeable with lower tones and creates a completely new live sound effect that you can actually feel.

Thanks to the cross-platform GameSmart technology, setup is incredibly easy and compatibility with a wide range of devices is guaranteed, while impressive stereo sound booms from the oversized 50mm speakers. It also features a built-in microphone with volume control on the headset.

Rank 2 out of 4SFTReleaseFebruary 2015
  • PositiveGaming tauglicher Klang...
  • PositiveViVi Touch als guter Ansatz für besseren Bass
  • Negative...der beim Musikhören aber zu farblos und künstlich klingt
  • Negativeverbesserungswürdiger Sitz

Auch wenn der Mad Catz beim Sound nicht vollkommen überzeugen kann, ist er beim Gaming soundtechnisch gut aufgestellt. Die Bässe bringt er auch mithilfe der neuartigen ViVi Technik gut aber teils zu stark. Allerdings ist der Sitz des Modells eher suboptimal, da die Polster zu hart ausfallen.

  • PositiveVivi-Touch interessant
  • PositiveOkay beim Spielen...
  • Negative...aber unpassend für Musik

Der Klang des Headsets ist zum Gamen ausreichen, da hier druckvolle Bässe sowie saubere Höhen zum Einsatz kommen. Allerdings reicht das bei weitem nicht aus um damit auch Musik, hören zu können. dafür fehlen zu viele Details und ein hoher Tragekomfort. Dafür ist der Preis für das Modell fair und die Basstechnik dennoch interessant.
