The German brand is on the rise lately. I love Cougar and what they bring in terms of value for money in pretty much every market they go into lately.

After taking the Immersa for a spin, I've got no choice but to completely agree

i owned & returned these. I was happy with much that they had to offer, but in the end, they weren't comfortable for long periods. Sweat was an issue too, as the Very large padded ear cups are not unlike plastic sandwich bags on your ears after some time. the Mic was okay, neither good nor bad. I jumped on these 6 months or so ago, and have to admit for the $39 price tag they were nice, but Sennheiser has some better options IMO/IME. 6/10 @ $50 that score drops

Cougar Immersa or the HyperX Cloud? Which is better for fps gaming?

I'm not sure how these were uncomfortable for you, they are easily one of the most comfortable headsets I have ever put on. I can still say that even after trying on a LOT of headsets all the way up to the $400 range.

And for the reviewer, I actually found the audio to be a fairly flat response, the vocals were actually slightly stronger than the other frequencies. Maybe it was your source but I tested mine with Spotify through my phone. I was blown away by how good they sounded listening to Fleetwood Mac that I ordered some of my own right away. I also have some very long, 'earrings' that are the size of nails and this headset was still super comfortable. Maybe that's why they don't seem too bass heavy, perhaps I'm creating a different chamber for the drivers causing a bit of a free-air effect.

I've owned the Immersa for about 2 weeks now and to be honest, its one of the most comfortable headphones i've used. They can stay on for many hours without any issues.

Sound quality wise, they do punch above their price range. I also own the HyperX Cloud II witch i directly connected to my sound card (non of that horrible external USB stuff) and it is not better my a whole lot.

Cougar done an incredible job here

Yeah, it's super under rated. Hands down one of the best I've used without even considering price. Once I factor in the $45 price tag it is the best I've used. Also, I'm very into audio and always searching for a flat response which is what really surprised me with these, other people say they're boomy but I didn't discover that at all. I found the vocals to be slightly strong but overall had very impressive sound.

I would also like to add that we don't have the same ears and the shape of them plus our heads has a big impact on how headsets and earbuds perform. To test this you can press an earbud closer into your ear sealing up the air gap entirely and you'll instantly get a drastic change in air pressure causing a very noticeable change in tone. I'm certain the shape of my ears and earrings is why I am finding these to be different than other users as reviews so they're bass heavy. I don't have any sort of EQ changes on my BLU cheapie phone and they sound damn good.
