The Cougar Phontum is one of the newest additions to the $50 gaming headset market. It sports a dual-chamber design, comes with two different sets of ear pads, and aims to be used both in your gaming room and on the go.

The Cougar Phontum is an interesting new addition to the company's gaming headset lineup. It falls within the $50 price bracket, and what makes this interesting is the fact that Cougar already makes one of the most popular headsets of that exact price, the Immersa (reviewed here). However, while the Immersa is a standard stay-at-home device, versatility is the name of the game when it comes to the Phontum. It sports a detachable microphone and comes with two pairs of easily swappable ear pads—a thick pair for at home and a much thinner one meant to be used on the go.
