Cougar Immersa Vs Megara Headset Head-to-Head Review
Peter Donnell / 8 years ago
A Closer Look – Magara
The Magara is much more compact, and comes bundled with this lovely carry pouch and a few extra sizes of ear buds to suit different users.
This headset also comes hard-wired with a 4-pole 3.5mm cable, so it’s plug and play ready with most devices, and comes with an additional Y-split cable for desktop use too, so it’s comparable with the Immersa in that respect.
The in-line controller is a little different here, as it’s more tuned to mobile devices too, with a few basic multimedia controls that are great for controlling your music.
Like its big brother, it also uses a boom microphone, albeit this time it’s omni-directional which is great for a more open sound.
While this is an in-ear headset, it uses drives that are too big to actually fit in your ears. You’ll find it uses a hybrid design where the driver sit just outside the ear, but these rubber pegs also sit within your ear to hold the headset in place.
The ear buds are angled downwards to ensure a much more comfortable fit too.
The use of a flat cable design means it won’t tangle up, and despite being bigger than most in-ear headphones, it’s still a very compact unit for a gaming headset, especially given the size of the drivers which you would usually see with an older style on-the-ear headband design.
Don’t need the microphone boom? Not a problem, it uses a small jack to plug into the driver housing and can easily be removed. It also looks like it could be easily lost, so be sure to store it in a safe place after you remove it!
