THE F.R.E.Q.7

The F.R.E.Q.7 is a medium sized lightweight headset (thanks to the metal components used) and is currently available in 4 different colors (red/white/black/black glossy).

As usual the Mad Catz logo is placed on the outside of both earcups.

At the very front of the left earcup we see the microphone mute button which when pressed turns on the red LED found on the edge of the boom microphone.

Right above that Mad Catz has placed the Dolby Pro Logic IIx button (enables disables virtual surround sound).

The microphone socket is also placed at the left earcup and is covered with a plastic tap.

The noise cancelling microphone itself is quite long and flexible as you can see from the above pictures.

At the far edge it has the RED LED that turns on when muted.

The audio volume control knob is placed at the lower end of the right earcup.

The PRO Gaming Audio remark is placed at the top of the right earcup.

Mad Catz has placed their logo above both earcups while on the other side we see the R/L designation.

The headband as expected can be extended on both sides up to 20cm via a total of 25 increments.

Both earcups are quite large (could be larger just like with the previous F.R.E.Q headsets) and are padded with black leather which is quite comfortable even after long periods of time. Behind the soft cloth interior padding lie the 50mm drivers paired with N38 grade Neodymium magnets (frequency response of 20Hz to 20,000Hz).

The product name as usual is placed on the exterior of the quite comfortable headband but once again it's not very easy to read.

At the end of the cable coming out from the headset you can either use the 2m USB cable (PC connection) or the 3.5mm mini audio jack (MP3 Players and smartphones).

The bundled stand is made out of plastic but it's not something really special (quality-wise) although it looks nice.

However it's got room for both the headset and the microphone tap.
