Cougar IMMERSA Stereo Gaming Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2017-01-02

Cougar are not supporting 7.1 software audio for this model since it is a stereo version, but it comes with bass-tuned 40mm Neodymium drivers which are great in games, while needing a bit of tuning from the sound source in order to be pleasant for watching the rest of multimedia content. The product does also feature an in-line remote which is not intrusive and allows adjustment of the Volume on-the-fly, along with the microphone mute function. The supplied ear cups are large and provide comfort even longer gaming sessions, while the headband is automatically adjustable, as we have seen with other high-end headsets.

Packaging, A Closer Look

In this article we will concentrate our attention on another affordable headset, this time from Cougar and to be more exact their stereo model IMMERSA. The product is featuring 40mm Neodymium drivers, huge 100mm ear-pads covered with leatherette, a retractable microphone but also an overall lightweight design.

The product does ship inside a medium-sized cardboard enclosure with a plastic window and enumerates the main product highlights in the frontal area; Cougar does also tell the user that this product can be used without the need of drivers which is quite self-explanatory since we are dealing with a Stereo and not USB version:

 

 

 

On one of the box sides, the manufacturer is detailing a bit the product features which have been just listed in front:

 

 

 

 

Also, on the window side we will get a list of compatible devices (basically any device can be used if it can output audio on analog jack):

 

 

 

On the back side of the box, Cougar does show the main product components:

 

 

 

After removing the IMMERSA from its packaging, we will get to see that it does also ship with a small installation guide:

 

 

IMMERSA does feature an orange/black color scheme, while the large ear cups can be spotted right away:

 

 

On the exterior of each cup we will observe a dark grey metallic grill along with an inner orange ring. The ear cup can be adjusted to a certain degree in order to fit all head shapes and sizes, while the chromed Cougar logo adds to the overall styling of the headset:

 

 

Each cup does hold a 40mm Neodymium driver and thanks to the thick padding the headset IMMERSA will remain comfortable even after long gaming sessions or watching multimedia content:
