14 DAY TRIAL // Mad Catz decided that this was an opportune moment to release an entire new batch of gaming and entertainment peripherals, so it brought forth some headphone sets, two of which we will look at here.
One of the two is called TRITTON Kunai Universal Headset and will start shipping this summer, while the other bears the name of F.R.E.Q. 4D Gaming Headset and will ship in fall, 2013.
The former has 40mm Neodymium speakers, an in-line remote (volume and chat controls) and a gloss black, gloss white or gloss red finish.
It is compatible with Windows PCs, Mac systems and most popular game consoles (Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation, Nintendo Wii).
"The TRITTON Kunai range has proven popular thanks to its balance of performance, value and aesthetics and today's announcement will allow us to reach passionate gamers on virtually any platform," said Darren Richardson, president and chief executive officer of Mad Catz Interactive.
Meanwhile, the F.R.E.Q. 4D Gaming Headset for Windows PC and Smart Devices features ViviTouch 4D Sound, a technology that combines muscular bass with sensory feedback, producing an actual physical sensation to the gaming audio.
It also has multiple EQ settings, a detachable in-line cable (allows for conversion to USB) and can play anything from PCs, iPhones, tablets, smart devices, etc.
"Utilizing ViviTouch 4D technology, we believe the F.R.E.Q. 4D brings an added sense of realism to sound effects in first person shooters and action adventure games," said Darren Richardson.
"The F.R.E.Q. 4D demonstrates our commitment to PC and Smart Device gaming, which we believe will resonate with passionate gamers."
Like the TRITTON Kunai Universal Headset, the F.R.E.Q. 4D Gaming Headset will sell in gloss black, gloss white and gloss red colors.
Unfortunately, the prices of the two newcomers remain a mystery even now.
