The Package

The Cougar Immersa comes in a sturdy, partially transparent box. The front of the box depicts the headset, and you can see most of its left half through the plastic window. You'll immediately notice that the headset doesn't even try to look neutral. With the entire outer headband and the company logo on the inner headband painted orange, and with orange details and light gray mesh on the ear cups, the aesthetics of the Immersa are quite distinct - and very pleasing to the eye, if I may add. There's no chance of confusing it with another headset.


On the sides, you'll find a general list of supported devices - your desktop PCs, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and consoles - and a couple of its key specifications. The specifications are repeated on the rear of the box, where you'll also find additional pictures of the headset and the in-line remote (no microphone here - it's literally just a module with a mute button and a volume dial). There's not much else to say about the box. It's well made, looks nice, and describes the product well, which has it fulfill its purpose.


This is what you'll get inside. Doesn't look like much, but it's everything you really need. There's the Immersa itself, the user manual, and the Y-splitter, which you'll need if you want to connect the headset to your motherboard. It's basically an adapter that turns the 4-pole TRRS connector (combined audio in and out) into a pair of 3-pole TRS connectors (separate audio in and out).
