At launch the rather expensive F.R.E.Q.9 Wireless Headset by Mad Catz was considered to be among the top headsets of its class not only due to its impressive audio clarity and accuracy but also due to its excellent build quality and available connectors thanks to its audio box. 2+ years later and with its price reduced by over 70% due to EOL status the F.R.E.Q.9 is by far the best headset of its class today.
