Build Quality & Comfort

The Immersa sports a dual-headband design, which I'm a huge fan of as it usually translates into exceptional comfort. The inner headband - the one that carries most of the headset's weight - is mounted on a couple metal wires. It's covered in pleather, is slightly padded, and has been made very flexible. You literally won't feel it sitting on your head regardless of how long your gaming sessions usually are.


The outer headband consists of two metal tubes which connect the ear cups. They're rubberized, painted orange, and feel extremely robust. Absolutely no ringing noise travels through the outer headband - or any other part of the headset - and into the ear cups.


The cushions are covered in pleather and are soft, but not too soft, which means your head will never touch any of the headset's actual parts. They surround the ears completely, regardless of their size; it really is a true over-ear design. Each ear cup has been affixed to a joint, which allows it to move in all directions and naturally adjust to any head's shape. Due to the tightness of the seal between the head and the ear pads, the ears do get warm during longer gaming sessions, which could prove troublesome in the summer months if your home isn't air-conditioned.


The headset's clamping force is well adjusted too, ensuring a combination of perfect stability and absolute comfort.

I'm absolutely impressed by the build quality and comfort of the Cougar Immersa. If those are the areas you're most concerned about when choosing your next headset, don't contemplate for a second - the Immersa will completely satisfy you.
