First video I’ve watched from this channel and I gotta say your reviewing skills and delivery along with the unbiased opinion make you’re channel amazing. I would say you’ve got to be one of the best reviewers I’ve ever seen
I just got my Titan Evo 2022 a month or so ago and I absolutely love it. I was coming from a 5+ year old DX Racer and the Evo is a huge upgrade and I am so happy that I decided to get it. Love your videos, keep up the good work.
By far one of the most convincing reviews I've ever seen for any product. When I leave here I'm heading over to Secret Labs to order this chair. Thank you. As an aside, I would also really like to get that screen saver showing behind you.
I was assembling my Titan evo 2022 while watching your video. You hit everything dead on my friend. Commenting to help feed your belly and the algorithm my friend.
Over the weekend, I returned a very poorly made chair that I'd bought and went out online in search of a good chair that's well made and comfortable. I read a few reviews and narrowed my list down and then went to the websites for a few of the manufacturers. I was very impressed with the information on the Secret Lab website and the fact they had several different videos and even one for assembly I think. What helped me make up my mind was that they offered 3 sizes including small (I'm 5'2) AND had a full chart of all the sizes for various parts of the chair, for each size chair. I was able to work out that the seat will be wide enough for me while the height will allow me to actually have my feet on the floor (which will be a novel experience for me). I bought the small pink weave chair and it should be here by Friday. I can't wait! The ODD thing is that I watch a lot of videos on RUclips but it never crossed my mind to look for chair reviews. But suddenly the great YT algorithm is showing me lots of videos I probably maybe should have watched first. I spent hours studying the Evo 2022 though, and I think I made a good decision. I'll find out on Friday or Saturday if it was a great one or not. Cheers!
The chair has been a dream. It fits me perfectly and my posture at my desk has improved dramatically. This has probably been my best improvement I’ve made in 2021 for both my well being and my productivity.

Never comment on youtube videos but have to say I appreciate the fact that you don't even share an affiliate link. When I was thinking about buying a secretlab chair last year I watched too many videos of people proudly claiming they're not sponsored but still sharing their affiliate link, meaning there was still an incentive to make the chair sound good so people buy it through them. Only you and a couple of others I could trust to give an honest opinion and in the end I got an omega which I loved. Will probably end up getting this too as it would be nice to have the extra room on the sides and built in lumbar support. Life story aside, you got a like and subscription from me.
You got lucky! I did mine about 4 weeks ago and mine shipped. Would've been nice if they announced it way earlier instead of surprising everyone. Would have rather got the updated model instead of the 2020 version.
Well I just ordered the Evo 2022 Cyberpunk 2077 edition. I can't wait to try out the lumbar support as that is the main feature I want. I paid £280 for a full mesh office chair last year when I started working from home and the lumbar support isn't adjustable, and it's set a few inches too high, and it's started giving me a numb backside after a while. I'm hoping the Secretlabs chair will suit me better. I had Sciatica and severe, sometimes debilitatingly agonizing back pain for 10 years. I can't justify £1200 for a Herman Miller, so I hope this is the next best option.
This was incredibly informative and VERY well timed as my inexpensive POS chair just collapsed and threw my over backwards this evening. I think I'm going to give a titan a shot. Glad to have found a new youtuber that I think I can place my trust in, too!

Great review Stu! And the funny thing is, you showed the old IKEA chair, I have the exact same one here! It is noisy, the leather is now falling all around the room and it just had it's best time.. I don't even know when I bought it, but it's definitely more than 5 years. And since I work in IT and work from home still quite often (and have a bad back) I am really looking forward to see mine come in, hence I just bought one with a nice discount, for a total of €333(the G2 Titan Evo regular leatherette). I am 6"4 and weigh about 72kg and chose the regular just for better support I guess. Hopefully I made the right decision in both chair and the size. Thanks a lot for your review, a new subcriber here! Keep up the good work!
Guys for anybody wondering if you should buy it, I have had it since summer of 2021, I got the BLACK3 fabric chair, it feels great but it took a little bit to break into, it is very squeaky though but SL is sending me a replacement part so Ill keep yall updated. But for now, if you got the budget, buy it.
Anda Seat is advertising a magnetic tabletop that will go over the armrests. I would LOVE to see Secret Labs do something like that since the armrests have the magnets built in already. I would totally be onboard for that additional perk.
In early 2020, I suffered an injury that messed up my back and neck. Ordered a Secretlabs chair because I was stuck in my bed and couldn't even sit on a couch to play a game. It took a long time to get here, but when it did my back instantly thanked me for it. And over the course of the last 12-14 months ive had the chair. I have fully recovered. This chair has already been changed gaming for me and I can't wait to get my hands on my next model. (Probably wont be for a while though since mine is still in near perfect condition, even after hundreds maybe thousands of hours of use.) Great review Stu, so good some would impulse buy a 2022 model 😂
got my Secretlab TITAN 2020 Charcoal Blue SoftWeave 4 days ago... I absolutely love it! I added blue L33T castors I have to admit. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Switzerland.
It's awesome that they charge that kind of money for that chair but still ship with casters that are available on chairs that cost a 1/3 of the price! Now that's value!
I was just looking for a new gaming chair. I bought a cheap one when I started having to work from home last year and it was way better than I had originally been using but now that I have a gaming pc I want to get something with better comfort and support than this cheaper one from Staples. I had originally been looking at the Razer Iskur chair and liked how it had a lumbar support until I read some of the comments about how it is much smaller than expected as well as I don't like how the lumbar support is basically just a slab that comes out. Then I found the Secretlab Titan 2022. I love how they did the lumbar support and have been watching review after review so I could make a proper decision on it and after watching your video I'm much more confident in getting one. Although I'm unsure if I want the regular size or XL. Thank you for your well done videos!
I got this chair, it is a game changer. I need more than one day setting up the chair with all of the features. Now i have a straight posture when sitting in front of my monitor. and my skill in overwatch just gets up because with the armrest i now can aim very precision likely. Thank you Stu, otherwise i had get the discounted 2020 version.
I just received a Secretlab Titan EVON Titan Leatherette in Black. The box was well padded, instructions were very clear, but what these reviews don’t mention is the formaldehyde like smell from the chair materials. I’m currently airing it out and hopefully the strong nauseating smell will disappear. Overall, the materials are sturdy, good framing, but the lumbar support looks lame. I’ll have to try it out for at least a week or two to determine if it justifies the $580 price tag. Good luck
I love how the armrests are magnetic! That means when they wear out, you can go to the website and see that either the armrests are out of stock or discontinued! Brilliant!
After watching this video decided to take the plunge and get one, ordered on friday and was here by 11am monday morning. I was nervous after reading lots of negative reviews about missing and faulty parts but mine is honestly spot on and definately worth the money for anyone thinking of making the purchase!
I've been waiting to get a new chair and definitely had an eye on Secretlab. Problem is, I'm 6'6'' and the Titan XL I had my eye on was perpetually pre-order/delayed. Was able to get the new Evo XL same day as you posted this and it arrived literally within 36 hours. Thank you, Stu.
@@wouter1179 I do. If you're not familiar with Secretlab/this style chair, it's super, super firm - but in a good way. Truly feels supportive, and you don't ache after long days. I can definitely recommend if you liked the video.
Excellent review. I would have done the same for my titan XL 2020. This videos makes me want to buy a 2022 model but ... My titan XL is still so much in shape and pristine condition that I can not even imagine changing it ^^ The new additions are really SEXY, the lombard support really is something that I'd love to try. And the new customisable armrests : reeeeeeally sweet. The only negative would be the wheels. They could get better.
Think I'm going to buy this chair. I'm 195cm(6ft 4/5) and 220lbs. Softweave and black looks good! Hopefully the XL is the right choice, should be. I have the Ikea Marcus at the moment... but the seat cushion has compacted after only about 3 years and it's rock hard. Plus armwrests are solid with no cushioning. Cheers for the review.
I have been watching your wonderful videos since mid-2020 and I notice that you almost always consider the environment so, you earn a sub! I have a soft heart for the environment too whenever I consider purchasing something. Anyway Your channel's aura to me is like a channel that has at least 1M subs with all your quality content that you execute. Not to mention the humor that you incorporate in each video is just really brilliant. Very rare from a reviewer here on RUclips. Great job, sir! I will stick around! Love from the Philippines! 🤍
Great Review, I just got the Evo 2022 XL, and this thing is pretty amazing. I need time with it to know how it's going to do, but so far I've never seen a chair this well built and this well packaged and packed before, and you're right, the huge instructions are the biggest I've ever seen. Firmer than my other chairs, but this is not a bad thing at all. I have no complaints.
You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman... I always appreciate reviews on chairs from people who are tall as I am 6'8" as well. I think your reviews are really thorough and presented in a way that always make your reviews a pleasure to consume. I purchased the new Titan Evo Black3 Softweave+ XL based on your review and I feel confident that I know exactly what to expect when the chair gets here. I was extremely pleased to see that secret labs made the changes on the XL to be more comfortable for those of us that are taller without necessarily being on the bigger side. Can't wait for your durability video. I am sure it will provide some good laughs!
Thank you for this review, I had just set up my Titan Evo XL. I had also thought it was firmer than I had thought it would be, so your comments about the firmness made a lot of sense.
I'm a shorty pants that is also a little bit on the heavier side and was so excited for a 'small' Titan. It's a lot of money to drop but I'm very tempted to finally take the plunge, especially after this review, to have a chair that's actually designed with shorter people in mind that doesn't cost 1k+.
I'm from Australia. I already have 2 Omega Stealths... one for me one for my eldest boy.. being sick of hearing my youngest who is now gaming in a squeaky old 13-year-old chair, so I decided to buy another Secret labs chair.. I was tossing up going a titan and was pleasantly surprised to find opening up the website a whole new addition to the 2 previous models.. so last night I ordered myself a Titan Evo. I absolutely love my omega but had a few gripes.. one of which was the seat felt just a little too tight for my thighs, so the titan was on the cards to address that issue... but now as of last night, I ordered a new EVo stealth.. today I thought I'd look for a review and stumbled on this one... so glad to hear it's better again. I now know I've once again made the right decision and will be even happier with this model!
@@ironman98 its very comfortable on the outside of my thighs which was the main issue I had with my original chair.. other than that it seems as solid and the inbuilt lumbar and magnetic head rest just top of an improved design
@@DMurray666 I have big thighs. Not overly, just big. My only concern with that, is that the ridges along the sides of the new Evo might slightly pinch my thighs and force my legs in a bit which would be uncomfortable. Whereas the 2020 Titan has a more flat pad design. Just wondering your expanded thoughts about that? That's honestly my only concern about the Evo. Oh and on a side note, I'm aware that the faux leather on the 2020 Titan is different on the 2021 Titan Evo. It's a bit more firm and less soft than the 2020 Titan. Just wondering if you have any thoughts on that? If you need a reference, the 2020 Titan faux leather is the same that's on the Omega if you need a direct comparison. I believe he showed this in the video as well briefly. Just wanted your thoughts on this as well.
@@ironman98 I did struggle with the omega for comfort.. Im having no issues with prolonged use on the new model.. it suits me perfectly.. I am very happy with its also faux leather
@@DMurray666 I'm glad to hear that. My last chair that had PU leather started to disintegrate, I just hope that this will last longer than 3 years. Granted the PU leather on the armrests of my Office Depot brand chair started to feel first. But lately the back where my back's against has also started the peel for some reason. I know secret labs has the 5-year warranty, but they don't cover peeling under the warranty.
This is crazy, was going to order a Titan about 6 hours ago and decided to wait on it until after I talked it over with my SO…only to see these drop today AND in the color I was wanting! Thanks for the great review!
I bought the titan but when I got it it was broken, dirty and the packaging wasn’t good at all. We contacted secret lab and they sent a truck to pick it up. Then they asked if I wanted a new one or if I wanted their new EVO model with a 25$ discount. I gladly accept their offer on the EVO version and it’s AMAZING according to me. When I bought the titan I had even thought about that they should implement that you can raise and lower the lumbar support. My initial experience wasn’t good but now my 2022 EVO is on its way to my home :)
Stu...I appreciate your videos. I have been looking for a replacement chair for a few months and after watching your previous videos I decided to buy a Secretlab Titan XL. My procrastination paid off a bit...I did not know they were releasing a new generation and purchased the Evo yesterday, due to arrive tomorrow. Your review of the Evo confirms I made the right decision......Thanks!!
Was all set on the TITAN XL, then came across 4 of your videos..........hmmmm! Real good stuff here, plenty of food for thought & a tip of the hat towards your production values. Thank you
The only criticism of this chair is the pebble seat. Some prefer to sit with their legs further apart and this seat naturally pushes your legs together which is actually better for your back.
I AM BUYING AN XL IN APRIL, GETTING A DESIGNED ONE, HAVENT DECIDED IF IM GETTING SUPERMAN, BATMAN, OR THE WITCHER. TOUGH CHOICES !!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WITCHER SERIES, AND GAME, BUT THE SUPERMAN CHAIR LOOKS DOPE WITH ITS FANCY COLOR SCHEME. I HAVE TO MAKE SOME HARD DECISIONS =) EITHER WAY IM JUST EXCITED !!!
Hey Stu, you’ve saved me money - well spent more but save in the long run 👍 Was looking at the andaseat T-pro2 on AO and then watched this review… just ordered SL 2022 XL - 🤞🤞 Good to see a “normal” Uk person reviewing 😂
Awesome review Stu! Very in depth. Love the work. I’d just like to add a P.S - if you took the plunge and shaved your head - it would 100% suit you😎. Don’t hide from the inevitable!
Been looking at these chairs for about a year. Kept pushing it off because I was in the process of looking for a house. Now that I have a house, I about bought a Titan XL last week when I was drunk. Glad I wasn't able to finish out the order, because I was drunk. Ordered a Titan XL EVO today. Hopefully it comes soon. They had all sorts of warning about high volume of sales and to please be patient.
Update: They’ve shipped my chair. Said it was to be delivered on the 13th but I think that was an error on the shipping company. I’ve never had good luck with their “tracking” of my packages. Will update on delivery and if anything else happens.
I'm excited to hear your longer term review. I'm close to pulling the trigger on a Evo 2022 softweave in the XL. It's great that you're a bigger person (I'm 6'4" 250lb myself) and see how it's holding up for you. I have an HM Aeron in size C at work in the office and it's alright but I can 100% tell you I would NOT want to be sitting on it at home every single day. It's comfy but not when I'm gaming or just watching videos, I end up slouching in the chair because the back is too short. I am glad Secretlab upgraded the arm rests and made them magnetic so they can be replaced with something softer. That's one of my biggest complaints is I want a soft armrest and all of these type of chairs have hard plastic ones. Like you said though Secretlab needs to upgrade the wheels to some plastic castor ones or offer them as an upgrade similar to the new armrests.
The three things I dislike about my Titan 2020 is the lumbar elevation, the pillow strap and the recline lever. The recline lever flexes and I am worried that I will break it, it doesn't feel skoocum. I didn't think I would like the headrest pillow, but I do and for me it is nessisary and it works.my concern about the magnetic version is that I won't be able to position it exactly where I want it. A hight adjustable, pivoting headrest, like a car seat might be cost prohibitive, detract from the aesthetics, and a $1000? version that has it might keep people that only look at the top tier away from buying.
Great vid! The only other thing not mentioned that I would change is the resistance offered by the reclining lever. If you do not raise your weight up while trying to recline, you enter free fall to the lowest position. Can feel like you will flip the chair if you start from upright enough. I’ve withheld this info from everyone I’ve let sit in my titan and watching this occur is quite funny, but its a seemingly easy fix. Other than that, perhaps the arm rest adjustability backwards and forwards can be increased. I’d personally like it if, when in a deep recline, I could still use the arm rests without a huge gap between me and them.
Great review, I just bought the Razer Iskur and find it a little limiting for the way I like to sit, so thankfully your review has helped me make the decision to give The Titan a shot instead
The seat cushion on my 10 year old chair finally gave out a few days ago. I was looking at the Titan Evo but wasn't sure if it would be something I liked. Your review was very helpful. Thank you!
Excellent video .Thank you. As somebody who is 6ft plus and built for comfort you've assuaged my fears on how practical it would be. Will order an XL today. Keep up the good work
Was just about to get a Titan 2020 as a first ergonomic office/gaming chair, when this popped up in my feed. My back is atrocious, so any increase in quality of lumbar support gets a huge thumbs up from me. I'll tolerate my current dingy repurposed $20 hand-me-down dining room chair, and wait for the Titan 2022. Can't wait for it to be available!
I’ve been looking for a replacement for a $200 noname “gaming” chair I bought back in 2015. Absolutely 0 ergonomics and is literally falling apart. And now I see there’s a Monster Hunter edition 2022 Titan Evo! After this review, I think I know what I’m getting.
I use to sell ergonomic chairs for a living and I can see this chair has a lot to offer. The only issue I'm facing is spending the money on two chairs which could potentially not be very good and you're not really getting a worth while trial period.
I've been looking at Secret Lab chairs for a while now. I think now is the time to finally make the jump due to my PU Leather chair falling apart after 5 years of use. Fabric Weave, here I come!
I currently own a 2020 titan version but I really like that they have added height to the XL model being 6foot5 the xl looks like it will be a much better fit for me, nice video Stu really swayed me I purchased my original chair on your recommendation and I think I will upgrading to a 2022 model in the near future keep the reviews coming look forward to the 'real world use'' testing
Hi, what can you say about the new foam? Is the foam more comfortable and softer than before? And one other question. What do you prefer Softweave or HybridLeather? Is in your opinion there any difference in comfort?
Just ordered the “classic” colour way in XL on pre order before seeing this… Looks like I won’t be regretting that decision! (When it eventually comes back in stock that is 🙈) Good review dude :)

In early 2020, I suffered an injury that messed up my back and neck. Ordered a Secretlabs chair because I was stuck in my bed and couldn't even sit on a couch to play a game. It took a long time to get here, but when it did my back instantly thanked me for it. And over the course of the last 12-14 months ive had the chair. I have fully recovered. This chair has already been changed gaming for me and I can't wait to get my hands on my next model. (Probably wont be for a while though since mine is still in near perfect condition, even after hundreds maybe thousands of hours of use.) Great review Stu, so good some would impulse buy a 2022 model 😂
These reviews remind me of the golden years of Top Gear!
got my Secretlab TITAN 2020 Charcoal Blue SoftWeave 4 days ago... I absolutely love it! I added blue L33T castors I have to admit. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Switzerland.
Nice!! Just took a look... Those green ones are tempting!
It's awesome that they charge that kind of money for that chair but still ship with casters that are available on chairs that cost a 1/3 of the price! Now that's value!
I brought a S L T after one of your reviews. It is a bit firm but it makes the chair comfortable in the long term. Great work Stue.
By far the best review I have seen, deserving of a sub from me!
I was just looking for a new gaming chair. I bought a cheap one when I started having to work from home last year and it was way better than I had originally been using but now that I have a gaming pc I want to get something with better comfort and support than this cheaper one from Staples. I had originally been looking at the Razer Iskur chair and liked how it had a lumbar support until I read some of the comments about how it is much smaller than expected as well as I don't like how the lumbar support is basically just a slab that comes out. Then I found the Secretlab Titan 2022. I love how they did the lumbar support and have been watching review after review so I could make a proper decision on it and after watching your video I'm much more confident in getting one. Although I'm unsure if I want the regular size or XL. Thank you for your well done videos!
I got this chair, it is a game changer.
I need more than one day setting up the chair with all of the features.
Now i have a straight posture when sitting in front of my monitor.
and my skill in overwatch just gets up because with the armrest i now can aim very precision likely.
Thank you Stu, otherwise i had get the discounted 2020 version.
Hi, thanks for your review. It was what I need to confirm my purchase. I love your impartiality and your comments are really interesting.
I just received a Secretlab Titan EVON Titan Leatherette in Black.
The box was well padded, instructions were very clear, but what these reviews don’t mention is the formaldehyde like smell from the chair materials. I’m currently airing it out and hopefully the strong nauseating smell will disappear. Overall, the materials are sturdy, good framing, but the lumbar support looks lame. I’ll have to try it out for at least a week or two to determine if it justifies the $580 price tag. Good luck
I love how the armrests are magnetic! That means when they wear out, you can go to the website and see that either the armrests are out of stock or discontinued! Brilliant!
Love the thorough analysis and the little puns, great job !
Thank you kindly!
After watching this video decided to take the plunge and get one, ordered on friday and was here by 11am monday morning. I was nervous after reading lots of negative reviews about missing and faulty parts but mine is honestly spot on and definately worth the money for anyone thinking of making the purchase!
I've been waiting to get a new chair and definitely had an eye on Secretlab. Problem is, I'm 6'6'' and the Titan XL I had my eye on was perpetually pre-order/delayed. Was able to get the new Evo XL same day as you posted this and it arrived literally within 36 hours. Thank you, Stu.
Hey! do you like the chair? i am 6'6 to 198cm
@@wouter1179 I do. If you're not familiar with Secretlab/this style chair, it's super, super firm - but in a good way. Truly feels supportive, and you don't ache after long days. I can definitely recommend if you liked the video.
@@Hellscrye Thanks for the quick response! I think i will buy it:) Is youre head resting on the back of the chair?
@@wouter1179 Yup! The magnetic pillow can be slid depending on if I want more neck or back of head support.
Excellent review.
I would have done the same for my titan XL 2020.
This videos makes me want to buy a 2022 model but ... My titan XL is still so much in shape and pristine condition that I can not even imagine changing it ^^
The new additions are really SEXY, the lombard support really is something that I'd love to try.
And the new customisable armrests : reeeeeeally sweet.
The only negative would be the wheels. They could get better.
I know right 😂… they keep there condition really really well!
Just got one myself, thanks for the review
No problem! 🌞👌
Think I'm going to buy this chair. I'm 195cm(6ft 4/5) and 220lbs. Softweave and black looks good!
Hopefully the XL is the right choice, should be. I have the Ikea Marcus at the moment... but the seat cushion has compacted after only about 3 years and it's rock hard. Plus armwrests are solid with no cushioning.
Cheers for the review.
I have been watching your wonderful videos since mid-2020 and I notice that you almost always consider the environment so, you earn a sub! I have a soft heart for the environment too whenever I consider purchasing something. Anyway
Your channel's aura to me is like a channel that has at least 1M subs with all your quality content that you execute. Not to mention the humor that you incorporate in each video is just really brilliant. Very rare from a reviewer here on RUclips.
Great job, sir! I will stick around! Love from the Philippines! 🤍
You are on of the MVP ⭐️ thanks for sticking around, and for the kind words 👍
@@StusReviewsUK 🙌💚
Great Review, I just got the Evo 2022 XL, and this thing is pretty amazing. I need time with it to know how it's going to do, but so far I've never seen a chair this well built and this well packaged and packed before, and you're right, the huge instructions are the biggest I've ever seen. Firmer than my other chairs, but this is not a bad thing at all. I have no complaints.
how is it after 2 months? also how tall are u if i may ask? im thinking about buying it soon im 6"'
You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman...
I always appreciate reviews on chairs from people who are tall as I am 6'8" as well. I think your reviews are really thorough and presented in a way that always make your reviews a pleasure to consume. I purchased the new Titan Evo Black3 Softweave+ XL based on your review and I feel confident that I know exactly what to expect when the chair gets here. I was extremely pleased to see that secret labs made the changes on the XL to be more comfortable for those of us that are taller without necessarily being on the bigger side.
Can't wait for your durability video. I am sure it will provide some good laughs!
I wonder if those magnets in the arm rests would affect an automatic wristwatch.
Great question… ill return to that in my 6 months catch up!
After seeing this (Great review BTW!) a 2022 it is! But now the difficult part, choosing a design.
Thank you for this review, I had just set up my Titan Evo XL. I had also thought it was firmer than I had thought it would be, so your comments about the firmness made a lot of sense.
How big are you for getting xl? I am quite big and thinking what size should I get
I’m stuck as well I’m 5”8 295 worried that the xl will be too tall for me but titan may be to narrow
I'm a shorty pants that is also a little bit on the heavier side and was so excited for a 'small' Titan. It's a lot of money to drop but I'm very tempted to finally take the plunge, especially after this review, to have a chair that's actually designed with shorter people in mind that doesn't cost 1k+.
I'm from Australia. I already have 2 Omega Stealths... one for me one for my eldest boy.. being sick of hearing my youngest who is now gaming in a squeaky old 13-year-old chair, so I decided to buy another Secret labs chair..
I was tossing up going a titan and was pleasantly surprised to find opening up the website a whole new addition to the 2 previous models.. so last night I ordered myself a Titan Evo.
I absolutely love my omega but had a few gripes.. one of which was the seat felt just a little too tight for my thighs, so the titan was on the cards to address that issue... but now as of last night, I ordered a new EVo stealth.. today I thought I'd look for a review and stumbled on this one... so glad to hear it's better again.
I now know I've once again made the right decision and will be even happier with this model!
Any update on the chair Mr. Murray? How are you liking it?
@@ironman98 its very comfortable on the outside of my thighs which was the main issue I had with my original chair.. other than that it seems as solid and the inbuilt lumbar and magnetic head rest just top of an improved design
@@DMurray666 I have big thighs. Not overly, just big. My only concern with that, is that the ridges along the sides of the new Evo might slightly pinch my thighs and force my legs in a bit which would be uncomfortable. Whereas the 2020 Titan has a more flat pad design. Just wondering your expanded thoughts about that? That's honestly my only concern about the Evo.
Oh and on a side note, I'm aware that the faux leather on the 2020 Titan is different on the 2021 Titan Evo. It's a bit more firm and less soft than the 2020 Titan. Just wondering if you have any thoughts on that? If you need a reference, the 2020 Titan faux leather is the same that's on the Omega if you need a direct comparison. I believe he showed this in the video as well briefly. Just wanted your thoughts on this as well.
@@ironman98 I did struggle with the omega for comfort.. Im having no issues with prolonged use on the new model.. it suits me perfectly.. I am very happy with its also faux leather
@@DMurray666 I'm glad to hear that. My last chair that had PU leather started to disintegrate, I just hope that this will last longer than 3 years. Granted the PU leather on the armrests of my Office Depot brand chair started to feel first. But lately the back where my back's against has also started the peel for some reason. I know secret labs has the 5-year warranty, but they don't cover peeling under the warranty.
This is crazy, was going to order a Titan about 6 hours ago and decided to wait on it until after I talked it over with my SO…only to see these drop today AND in the color I was wanting! Thanks for the great review!
Boom! The stars aligned for you 👍👍
Exactly the same here!
was considering ordering one a few days back but the full black version was sold out, among many others. guess this is why!
I bought the titan but when I got it it was broken, dirty and the packaging wasn’t good at all. We contacted secret lab and they sent a truck to pick it up. Then they asked if I wanted a new one or if I wanted their new EVO model with a 25$ discount. I gladly accept their offer on the EVO version and it’s AMAZING according to me. When I bought the titan I had even thought about that they should implement that you can raise and lower the lumbar support. My initial experience wasn’t good but now my 2022 EVO is on its way to my home :)
Stu...I appreciate your videos. I have been looking for a replacement chair for a few months and after watching your previous videos I decided to buy a Secretlab Titan XL. My procrastination paid off a bit...I did not know they were releasing a new generation and purchased the Evo yesterday, due to arrive tomorrow. Your review of the Evo confirms I made the right decision......Thanks!!
Was all set on the TITAN XL, then came across 4 of your videos..........hmmmm!
Real good stuff here, plenty of food for thought & a tip of the hat towards your production values.
Thank you
I bought the chair and then watched this review - super happy with my purchase and I don't even have it yet!! Thank you 😊
The only criticism of this chair is the pebble seat. Some prefer to sit with their legs further apart and this seat naturally pushes your legs together which is actually better for your back.
Also I love all your reviews. Appreciate them as a 6’7 giant myself
I AM BUYING AN XL IN APRIL, GETTING A DESIGNED ONE, HAVENT DECIDED IF IM GETTING SUPERMAN, BATMAN, OR THE WITCHER. TOUGH CHOICES !!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WITCHER SERIES, AND GAME, BUT THE SUPERMAN CHAIR LOOKS DOPE WITH ITS FANCY COLOR SCHEME. I HAVE TO MAKE SOME HARD DECISIONS =) EITHER WAY IM JUST EXCITED !!!
Hey Stu, you’ve saved me money - well spent more but save in the long run 👍
Was looking at the andaseat T-pro2 on AO and then watched this review… just ordered SL 2022 XL - 🤞🤞
Good to see a “normal” Uk person reviewing 😂
I actually reviewed the T pro 2 as well! ruclips.net/video/mj26ag-4fX4/видео.html
(i think you made the right choice)!
Awesome review Stu! Very in depth. Love the work. I’d just like to add a P.S - if you took the plunge and shaved your head - it would 100% suit you😎. Don’t hide from the inevitable!
I need to see arrows being shot at that chair! Thanks for this review.. I know for sure, I will buy this again when my XL somehow breaks down.
Been looking at these chairs for about a year. Kept pushing it off because I was in the process of looking for a house. Now that I have a house, I about bought a Titan XL last week when I was drunk. Glad I wasn't able to finish out the order, because I was drunk. Ordered a Titan XL EVO today. Hopefully it comes soon. They had all sorts of warning about high volume of sales and to please be patient.
Yeah I would imagine there’s going to be a big back delay on these for a while!
25th of August apparently, in the UK
Update: They’ve shipped my chair. Said it was to be delivered on the 13th but I think that was an error on the shipping company. I’ve never had good luck with their “tracking” of my packages. Will update on delivery and if anything else happens.
I'm excited to hear your longer term review. I'm close to pulling the trigger on a Evo 2022 softweave in the XL. It's great that you're a bigger person (I'm 6'4" 250lb myself) and see how it's holding up for you. I have an HM Aeron in size C at work in the office and it's alright but I can 100% tell you I would NOT want to be sitting on it at home every single day. It's comfy but not when I'm gaming or just watching videos, I end up slouching in the chair because the back is too short. I am glad Secretlab upgraded the arm rests and made them magnetic so they can be replaced with something softer. That's one of my biggest complaints is I want a soft armrest and all of these type of chairs have hard plastic ones. Like you said though Secretlab needs to upgrade the wheels to some plastic castor ones or offer them as an upgrade similar to the new armrests.
The three things I dislike about my Titan 2020 is the lumbar elevation, the pillow strap and the recline lever. The recline lever flexes and I am worried that I will break it, it doesn't feel skoocum. I didn't think I would like the headrest pillow, but I do and for me it is nessisary and it works.my concern about the magnetic version is that I won't be able to position it exactly where I want it. A hight adjustable, pivoting headrest, like a car seat might be cost prohibitive, detract from the aesthetics, and a $1000? version that has it might keep people that only look at the top tier away from buying.
I ll think about my posture. I didn't want the comfort police to.i don't want to a fine line. I want comfort. Thanks for the vid.
Not sure if the magnets around the headrest will be harmful in the long run
I am new to Secretlab and I think you have convinced me. I am getting one too. My back is screaming for a new chair.
Love that you care about sustainable packaging. Not talked about enough. Awesome review :)
Great review. I just ordered the evo in black softweave. £393 delivered which is quite a lot so I'm hoping it's good.
2nd video I've watched, Quality is through the roof. Love the Vids, keep it up
Great vid! The only other thing not mentioned that I would change is the resistance offered by the reclining lever. If you do not raise your weight up while trying to recline, you enter free fall to the lowest position. Can feel like you will flip the chair if you start from upright enough. I’ve withheld this info from everyone I’ve let sit in my titan and watching this occur is quite funny, but its a seemingly easy fix. Other than that, perhaps the arm rest adjustability backwards and forwards can be increased. I’d personally like it if, when in a deep recline, I could still use the arm rests without a huge gap between me and them.
Awesome Stu! Love the new magnetic head pillow and the lumbar support!
Great review, I just bought the Razer Iskur and find it a little limiting for the way I like to sit, so thankfully your review has helped me make the decision to give The Titan a shot instead
Awesome video bro! I'm a bigger guy as well so I may need to switch to this new option from SecretLab!
Cheers bro! The new ones are definitely geared more towards height than the old ones thankfully! 👍👍
The seat cushion on my 10 year old chair finally gave out a few days ago. I was looking at the Titan Evo but wasn't sure if it would be something I liked. Your review was very helpful. Thank you!
Damn, I just bought my 2020 at the end of June…I do love it though.
Yeah, I'm in the sameish boat. Now I'm left wondering if I return it for the 2022 and get the waterfall bottom and lumbar support.
Same here, I really wish I waited a few weeks. I had no idea these chairs were coming.
Same I bought mine in August
me too haha smh
Stu. What are the cons that you can think of if a “Titan regular” recommended person buys a Titan XL instead?
was thinking of picking up this chair, probably going to pull the trigger, thanks for the review
Excellent video .Thank you. As somebody who is 6ft plus and built for comfort you've assuaged my fears on how practical it would be. Will order an XL today. Keep up the good work
Was just about to get a Titan 2020 as a first ergonomic office/gaming chair, when this popped up in my feed. My back is atrocious, so any increase in quality of lumbar support gets a huge thumbs up from me. I'll tolerate my current dingy repurposed $20 hand-me-down dining room chair, and wait for the Titan 2022. Can't wait for it to be available!
4:40 That's a Jeremy Clarkson joke if I ever saw one.
Loved this review. Thanks man! Might be getting this very soon :D
Thanks for the video friend! Much love ❤️
Agree 100% on the packaging. Super well packaged but there was a lot of stuff that could be replaced by recyclables or not used at all.
Thank you very much for the video. It really helped make my decision (definitely buying my first secret lab)
Glad I could help! Let me know what you think when youve got yours!
@@StusReviewsUK will do!
Saw your earlier reviews of the Secret lab chair and got Intrested and this made me stop over the edge and purchase one, so thank you Stu.
I’ve been looking for a replacement for a $200 noname “gaming” chair I bought back in 2015. Absolutely 0 ergonomics and is literally falling apart.
And now I see there’s a Monster Hunter edition 2022 Titan Evo! After this review, I think I know what I’m getting.
I'm buying my chair today and funny enough I already planned on replacing the wheels
Great review Stu. Thanks.
Cheers Ron 👍
I use to sell ergonomic chairs for a living and I can see this chair has a lot to offer. The only issue I'm facing is spending the money on two chairs which could potentially not be very good and you're not really getting a worth while trial period.
Mine is arriving today! Very excited lol
Can you provide feedback after you use it?
@@burntbutter94 Yes just received it and setting it up soon
They also made the seat half as thick as the previous model....wonder why
I just bought the XL size in black and fabric
I've been looking at Secret Lab chairs for a while now. I think now is the time to finally make the jump due to my PU Leather chair falling apart after 5 years of use. Fabric Weave, here I come!
I currently own a 2020 titan version but I really like that they have added height to the XL model being 6foot5 the xl looks like it will be a much better fit for me, nice video Stu really swayed me I purchased my original chair on your recommendation and I think I will upgrading to a 2022 model in the near future keep the reviews coming look forward to the 'real world use'' testing
Legend for the non affiliate, legitimate review. Thumbs up and subscribed. Great review.
Hi, what can you say about the new foam? Is the foam more comfortable and softer than before?
And one other question. What do you prefer Softweave or HybridLeather?
Is in your opinion there any difference in comfort?
Decided to go for the soft weave Arctic blue, can’t wait for my chair to arrive!
Just ordered the “classic” colour way in XL on pre order before seeing this…
Looks like I won’t be regretting that decision! (When it eventually comes back in stock that is 🙈)
Good review dude :)
