Here I am sitting on plastic chair cushioned with my sleeping pillow 🥲
First of all, I was very happy with how fast this item was delivered. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxYR69rUVDfF56JHQRldV2uJeXaPA9LTZW It came a day before the listed delivery date, which was super great! I was able to assemble it myself with no difficult and I am not an engineer or a put-it-together expert. The chair is super comfortable, I play video games for roughly 3-4 hours at a time and it does not make my back hurt or neck hurt. The Reclining function actually surprised me because it goes very low, you could fall asleep on it ( and in fact i have while laying on it with a foot rest for my legs). The red is a bold choice and I usually stay away but I love how the red and black contrast looks on this type of material. The wheels on this chair are very very quiet, I have wood vinyl in my apartment and there is absolutely no noise. OVERALL, I WOULD RECOMMEND or BUY IT AGAIN !
Stop knocking my chair man. It's the best I could afford. lol
What
Ur so funny bro

@@camihl3841 woah bro chill bro haha ur so funny bro
@@TheMattst99 damn bro your so funny haha nice one
Just 200 dollars. JUST
But sir muh stimulus
If you spend a lot of time sitting, its definetly "just".
First of all, if you take good care of it, its nothing that gets "outdated"
its a one time investment.
And not only is it comfortable, your back will thank you in the future. Spending that money now can save you a lot of back problems and thousands of dollars in the future.
Well furniture is expensive af so 2-300 for a good chair isn't that much tbh. Good sofas cost 5k take that into consideration
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j facts, should never cheap out on furniture. Your body will thank you
My eyes widened, I thought 200 was too much
amazing video setup, i loved the take aways section that i've never seen other youtubes do to break down each section. Keep it up bro!
I didn't realize all this made a difference....thanks for making this video i just bought the GTRACING chair and according to your review i picked the right one
Im thinking about getting one. What do you think so far?
1:23 ... _steel which has a density that's three times that of Nylon._ Steel of course is far more dense than Nylon, about 7 times as dense. But steel is around 3 times denser than aluminum, maybe that's what you were thinking of. Just remember that engineering plastics are about 1/2 of aluminum and aluminum is about 1/3 of steel.
lol stop
It seems discrimitory that chair making companies make it so heavy people have to spend more to be comfortable.
If an XL chair is identical to the regular sized chair, just scaled up, but thicker structure for an extra 100-150lbs capacity, and the price difference is way outta proportion, I could see that as discriminatory. But unfortunately, economy of scale doesn't work that way. And they have to factor in stronger/more durable materials for dynamic weight (shifting your body around).
A lot of the price difference is related to size and weight tolerance
I ❤️ the anda seat its easily the best chair I've bought for my high an size almost 6ft 4.
Never thought about squeakiness, lol good thing to add!
I got the AKRacing 300 dollar chair on offerup for 50 dollars. perfectly working condition, with some cat hair, honestly i would really recommend it if yall dont have the money to spend.
Excellent review. Thank you very much!
just bought a secretlab titan! super excited to get that
Will say. Don't buy one from staples. You'll need a new one in less than a year. But, I will say one good thing about it. Is that the arm rests can be folded up.
Lmao my desk from staples got random bolts falling out on the daily😭
Thank you for posting this video. It is very informative 👍
For me it's always about the budget you have, of course 90% of the time the more expensive one is better than the cheaper one. But why force yourself to buy an expensive thing if it's really out of your budget.
if the chair doesn't fit in your budget, i'd rather get a 100$ office chair that does its work than a 140$ gaming chair that breaks after a few months and destroy your spine
@@benaz_ cool have fun sitting in a shitty office chair
@@mitchmcturtle6890 cool, have fun sitting in a spine-breaking cheap gaming chair
@@benaz_ better for spine then your shit office chair. You should try something called research
@@mitchmcturtle6890 lmao I have a gaming chair, i just doesn't have a cheap one. You are the one that should do a research, office chairs, especially when they are around 100$, are healthier and stronger than a cheap gaming chair
I live in Australia is there any other place I could get the ak racing core series from for a cheaper delivery cost
What's with the full tilt - who even does that? Except maybe for the most hardcore pewdiepie fans.
To sleep
@@tiger5551 only highschool and college students will understand
@@souljaboi4021 I know lol
@@tiger5551 bro my fat ass is gonna fall of that chair if I sleep on it
Very informative
I'm factory for Gtracing gaming chair
Really useful video!
Who else thought that the middle chair was the cheap one?
A used or refurbished Aeron is the way to go for those who can afford it.
hell no, plastic with no headrest or if it has headrest an extra 100 bucks just for it? put your overprice plastic somewhere else
It's called aluminium, not aluminum.
Look for a chair, that comes with a 5 year warranty.
The type of tilt mechanism is the most important thing for me. I got first one for less than 100$ but want to change just because I need knee tilt or synchro tilt mechanism.
That's an excellent point. Some gaming chairs - usually the higher end ones like the andaseat and secretlab - support seat angle lock. It's a great feature that doesn't get enough attention.
Well My mom was lucky enough to buy the last karnox gaming chair in stock!
Deadass, Im sitting on a 10 year old Office chair.
Same lmfao
Shits boutta break and I’m 443lbs.
@@luhtweakin2658 bro get yo ass off that chair and get active my guy 💪🏿
Lol mine is at least 20, gotta get a new one
A good chair will easily last many years so that isn't in any way bad per say, as long as you're comfortable. Not saying yours is as good because I have no idea what chair you're using, but that's why Herman Miller chairs for example are expensive as they are and why they give 12 years of warranty. An actual proper chair will last for many years. And office chairs is above gaming chairs any day
idk man, that leaning back seemed so sketch, looked like he was going to fall back any second.
So glad I found this video. I'm checking on different websites trying to find a gaming chair and it's hard to tell which one's better than the other and which one I should choose, considering things like my budget, the reviews people post and the fact that it will be my first gaming chair ever. I'm sure this will help me. I might make an assembling video giving suggestions, if anything I'll make sure to give you credits. Thanks. 😊👍
so which one did you end up getting?
Save your money, i have bought many of these chairs and they are uncomfortable and overpriced, they also easily break
I wish my room was big enough for a couch but gaming chair is the closest thing I can get
@@tonystark559 no a Office Chair is much much Better.
@@duderobi I bought a cheap chair on amazon lol it's really good
@@tonystark559 how much ?
@@jesusfierro6355 160 I think it's got a leg rest. But when I get a job ill invest in a quality one right now I need to go cheap lol
I can’t believe you didn’t mention the PU leather cracks after a year and peels
So unless your a muscular beast, lose some weight before buying a chair. Gotcha lol
You don't have to be a muscular beast to not be obese
Not really, I don’t weight much but a cheaper chair is gonna stop working well pretty fast
Or just loose weight lol
Sadly our hobby has been hijacked by predatory marketing (as everything). Sadly anything marked "gaming" is usually junk. Personally after the RapidX chair I bought I'll be going with a ergo office chair or perhaps sell a kidney and get the MonsterTech Flight Sim chair.... Great video!!
Good to know! I weigh 127 lbs and I’m happy I don’t have to buy an expensive chair.
fr its a good day to be 5’0 and weigh 100 pounds 💯 we can save money for a little while 😁
It’s ALUMINIUM. apologies.. but do not shallow your alphabets please. It’s wrong English. Aside to that very informative video
He said average man about 150 pounds... Not in the US thats about the average woman😆
that whole weight thing makes so much sense now. i have always bought chairs in the 100-150 range. not gaming Just chairs. and three of them all have broken . I am 220 . Recently took the plunge and got the secret labs titan. I can instantly tell this thing is built like a tank. i wish I thought about this ages ago.
As many people have said before, it’s informative and very descriptive. If y’all really love the content and delivery, I would suggest subscribing.
great technical points made thanks for the clarity. the concept of metals, aluminium actually being really strong, graphite usage and keeping the dollar spent parallel to your weight are all great highlights.
Dude...in the 2 weeks I've slaved over probably 30 brands of chair dimensions, features and reviews, I never knew about the different foams.
Seems it's well worth it if you can afford the cold cured cos it'll last much longer.
If not, you gotta go with high density.
Knew my mind to find there are chairs in the $199 range that use high density foam AND have steel bases.
Think of the same principle with mattress shopping.. heavier/denser people need more firmness/durability in their resting surfaces.
"gaming" chair is a scam market just get a good office chair
Just spent 469 on my secretlab dark knight titan chair and have no regrets..good vid
I got my SecretLab CyberPunk2077 Titan chair back in Aug. No Regrets either. This chair brand is not to be taken lightly. There products are just out right superior in the segment. And for anyone who thinks spending $400 or 500+ on a chair is unreasonable, just think, our butts, back and feet take the most punishment in our day to day. Don't you think they deserve a little love every now and again. This is a sound investment. Way better then that next pair of J's your thinking of buying and not blink twice on.
true they are super nice, but i would have to choose between the chair or a pc
@@crymsyndicate bruh this secret lab titan 2020 chair sucks, its day 3 and although it can hold my weight of 210 pounds, I find that I'm constantly adjusting it, and that I have to stretch every 10 mins, its too firm, and its giving more neck and back problems than I had before. The lumbar support is literally too hard or too soft, and I find no support for my neck and shoulders at all. Only thing good about it, is the recline, the 4d arms, tilt lock, and recline. Sometimes I nap for hours while reclined all the way. But sitting down gaming or working is constantly uncomfortable.
@@charlesmbakop6349 I am sorry to hear you are having a rough go with your titan chair. Let me see if I can help. The cold cure foam is hard for a reason and that is to 1. last longer under load & 2. give better support. The company claims it will get softer after awhile but don't expect it to be like couch sitting. A possible reason for your neck and back pain is the posture correction process your body is going through. This will pass. Also I find that when u want to sit up straight and game/work. Make sure to adjust the backrest in a slightly more forward position so your full back is resting against it. Alot of the time we are so out of touch with what a correct seating position actually is we develop bad habits. And the worse your previous chair was b4 the Titan the more time you may need to adjust to the difference. Just hang in there and good luck. Don't forget to check out the company's faq page. They got some helpful tips there.
@@crymsyndicate okay I’m hoping it’s just my posture readjusting that’s cause me all these problems cause this chair was expensive and I want it to work well
I think the gaming chairs offer more fps
the chair only needs to support a human sitting down and standing up, not a wild rhino, what we need reinforced graphite bases for?
LMAO man said wild rhino haha
The tilt mechanism also makes a great difference, I would never buy one with the simple mechanism.
Bro most chairs big brand or Ali express have the same manufacturer
Wow
@@nihaalspeaks wow
i honestly love my gtracing chair lmao got it for 120. i’ve been sleeping a lot better after my sessions on the computer coming from another stupid ass chair with like no support.
So if your not a pudding you don't need an expensive chair. Got it!
You could say that 😉
So, a big FYI...the foam density which he touches on pretty well, is not nearly as cut and dry as he explains and I wish it were.
He tells us there's Memory Foam then High Density Foam which will last longer and then there's the king...Cold Cured Foam. And that will last many years before flattening out.
To get out of the way, the king is exactly as he describes and you will know if it might have cold foam because it will be north of $400.
Ive seen a couple that were $279 and even $259 that said cold molded foam or cold foam only to see down the page the words memory foam in a picture of the seat.So actually, there is that to look out for.
But the real nightmare exists with the first two things he mentioned. As you go through the 70 different brands on Amazon and read their descriptions you will see a lot of this...Made with high density memory foam. ....huh? Its one or the other isnt it?
Well after researching (mattresses was where I learned this).
Memory foam comes in different densities! You can have low density memory foam, medium or high density foam!
The thing is, we have no freaking way of knowing what the hell its really made of AKA how long it will last us.
All we can do is hope to get lucky by the 3rd gaming chair we buy to find a solid brand.
One tip...if you're in the $179 to $249 range...start with the base material. Look for the base/legs to be made from metal like steel, aluminum or reinforced nylon at the least.
Then, one piece steel frames.
If they have those two...its likely their claim of high density foam will be real.
I own a GT racing chair. In fact mine is also red. It's identical to the one in this video. It's ok. Nothing to write home about. The only difference I see between mine and the one in this video is that mine has a fold out foot rest that hides away under the seat. My chair doesn't make any noise at all. My arm rests only adjust up and down. My lumbar pillow/cushion has a build in vibrator & heat. The one thing this guy doesn't mention is the biggest problem of all with these chairs. That problem is tipping over backwards. They are NOT balanced correctly!! So watch out you don't tip over on your head when reclined.
Really informative, I was checking out some gaming chairs because they look more comfortable than the office desk chairs I've seen, I just need something that would feel comfortable when sitting down for hours
I was considering the secret lab titan and the chairs from herman miller. I'm the type of guy who buys everything i'm considering between (especially for long lasting items) and then keep the one I like based on my actual use and sell off the rest. All I can say is, the HM Aeron is far superior in every possible way to the "gaming chair". It's not even a contest. But it also was about 3 times the price. It's weird because I don't feel like I overpaid for the Aeron, but I felt like I overpaid for the Secret Lab Titan.
@@moltenbullet Because the Aeron looks, feels and is built like the price you paid for. You also get a 12 year warranty that covers any issue that might come up. Hell the used Aeron's at the 500 mark are better than a gaming chair.
Buy a mesh offic chair with adjustable head rest, tilt, back/lumbar support it’s much more comfortable
I have the GTR racing chair and I love it. It comes with a Bluetooth and it’s comfortable. I don’t like the $300 chair
Ill give 5 Star with your video. Well explained. Informative in less than 7 mins. Straight to the point.
just get an ergo chair, most "gaming" branded products are just dumb in general. besides looking cool they mostly provide nothing more that will actually benefit for the end-user
Komene Mesh Office Chair is better than the ergo tbh more comfy
@@searrell4508 The Komene *is* an ergo chair, so I don't understand why you say it's better than an ergo chair?
@@STR33TSofJUST1C3 ergo chair is a brand off chairs and ergonomic chairs are a type of chairs there's a difference my guy
@@searrell4508 Oh, you were referring to the Autonomous Ergochair?
They don’t even look cool tho
Just spray some wd40 on the bolts in the gtracing chair and boom, no noise lmao
and boom the chair will fall apart
And boom, you have WD40 on your floor
@@jkbk121 Just tighten the bolts after spraying. It should stay even with vibrations.
@@UncleMerlin Yeah that happens with people that are missing fingers, sorry. Good luck ma’am.
My chair literally just broke and I fell in the floor. I had the GT racing chair in the video. It is literally JUNK!
I got a emerge varton chair off of staples and paid $130 for it with coupons when it was originally $230 and it’s a pretty nice chair. You can do better but for $130 you can’t beat that
Mate I think you need a new definition of cheap
Me, who just bought a Blitzwolf chair:
Whats wrong?
Take away: If you're fat, it costs you.
Ey I have an Akracing core! (I think it's the exact same design not home rn)
Edit: it just looks almost exactly the same but its a cheaper shittier version ;-; it works gr8 tho
This video helped me understand so much about the differences between gaming chairs. Thank you so much for making this!
Well that's an easy assessment for me. I'm light. I don't stream so creakiness doesn't matter to me. I remove armrests completely because of my peripherals. No reason to go over $200 on a chair.
Thumbs up bro,, I totally agree with you especially regarding the weight point
i only weigh 100 pounds so i think my gt racing chair can hold me 😁
How about you don't buy a chair designed around a car seat marketed towards gamers and instead get an actual ergonomic chair designed for sitting for long periods of time in the healthiest way possible. Nothing like shelling out 400-500 for a chair that has pillows for support with the shape of a car seat that is meant to keep one stationary in a moving vehicle.
Shut up
Thank you this was very helpful!
I have the cheap one and bro my ass hurts after 4 months smh ima get another chair soon!
Get the hb racing chair
. waiting on mine to arrive.
i thougth i was the only one yeah it hurts after some moths of use
does anyone know what the back support is like on gamind chairs? I get really bad lower back pain when sitting in chairs
I acknowledge the fact that it is comfortable but if you're sitting for long hours I don't recommend you to buy this since it doesn't absorb sweat and it gets heated quickly. This is a clear disadvantage of leather.
Great video I needed this but keep in mind sometimes chairs are expensive and still use junk
Oh yeah for sure. The other way can occasionally be true too - a budget chair that is high quality. I'm about to review one that fits that bill next :)
@@ergonomictrends8446 at that point, better to look for actual "office chairs" function first, fashion later.
what should I look for in a gaming chair if I want to reduce the sound of my tactile transducer hooked up to it? kind of annoying that I can hear the bass instead of just feeling it
I have the clasic red genesis nitro 330, no fancy tricks but you can lean back a bit, but the best thing you don't sweat like a pig in it on summer
I am accepting the premium chair as your gift to me!!’ Make it happen!!!
Lmao
Wow, these all look terribly uncomfortable. If you're already spending $300 on a chair, you could as well get an entry-level office chair that'll be much more comfortable. At $500, which is high-end for a gaming chair, you already get mid-tier office chairs or used/refurbished premium chairs. They won't only last longer, they're far more adjustable and better for your posture.
I got a GTRACING chair for about $175, and it's quieter than the one you got for $300.
Why does it matter if the chair squeaks a little lol?
That means it's poor quality and probably won't last long.
Man, I’m sitting in the gtRacer chair and I think it’s pretty comfy, I’m also only like 102 pounds doe.
Suggest eventually getting an ergonomic office chair. Gaming chairs are kind of the cancer to the chair industry basically destroying posture for looks.
Buy cheap, buy often. Once you learn to buy quality anything you will never buy cheap shit again.
"save" if ur spending on +$500 gaming chair there something wrong with u. office chair is better. since it actuality design to be good. not a copy+paste with different brand
I unlocked a new fear a couple of weeks ago, gas spring chairs that can explode and kill you, don’t know what to buy now.
This is more about comfort being mentioned as quality overall. I had a sub $200 chair and it fell apart. First the GAS Cylinder after not even a fee months failed and I did buy a replacement for it, next the cheap thin metal bottom showed its true colors, poor weldment. It happens that I know what a good weld is, this was not even close to it so I ended up tossing the chair. While it was worthless I took it apart, made also pictures and found that the wooden base of the seat had mold, yikes.
I am an plus average tall guy so over six two so did order the third more expensive chair you showed. I know quality when I see it and I should have listened to my inner voice. Like you pointed out the 5-star base gives away the quality, it is as you mentioned in your video...
Mind you the customer support of this vendor was excellent, of course I had documented everything with pics and videos, not very flattering for vendor, they did refunded me the money after 9 months of use so kudos there.
The High-end 'expensive-err' chairs seem to be popular and with the " Covid-19 " there are a lot of delays with shipping but that is a different topic
Thanks for the video but it would it would (in my case) also be a point to mention the quality of materials used. Cheap, thin steel, poor weld versus thicker steel and other quality Frame-style , the bases for tilting system, is the only thing I missed in your video with a close-up and or snap shots of the inner of the chairs. And you were how many years into Gaming chairs ?
i used cheap chairs before there is definately difference between high quality chair and cheap ones if you spend time on your computer like 1-3 hours a day go for cheap chair its ok but if you spend 7+ hours a day sitting on your computer you should definately buy a good quality chair.
Not true, I had regular foam, I'm very light (60kg) and my chair sagged to the plank after 2 years,
I'd rather have something more stiff than having soft cushion but just for short period of time, then you feel like sitting on a plank.
what someone here check out Darkfllash RC600 and RC800, idk the different but one is 125$ the other one is 175$, my weight is 65kg
My $150 game chair is way better then a $400 game chair why bc I have a gaming chair + $250 still in my pocket it was hard enough spending $150 on a chair more then that I would probably have died b4 putting my card info in lol
Truth!? the truth is 200$ ergonomic > 400$ any gaming chair. If you go 500$ ergonomic. At this point only another ergonomic can compete. Stop using gaming chairs or u ll fu.k ur back
helpful video thanks! you could also buy a plush seat cushion, and it'll still be cheaper than a high end chair
Couldn't I oil the cheaper chair to prevent squeaking?
Love the video man. I'm a taller guy and yes to have good comfort you have to go $400 and up. You will regret in the long run going cheap. always regret going cheap
200 dollar still expensive. here the cheapest is around 50 dollar only with the same design with that 200 dolar
Thanks for this video work. You come across as very knowledgeable and learned. I didn't hear any comments about padded armrests - and I'm not seeing them as an option much. I'm a programmer and my executive chair (low cost) has worn out too fast just as you describe (squeaky, foam got flat over time etc). I'm trying to find that ideal answer - again, thanks.
Thanks! Most armrests are made of either plastic or polyurethane. The later is softer, but basically still feels like hardened rubber. You can always just get a separate armrest pad that goes on top of the armrests for added comfort: ergonomictrends.com/best-desk-armrests-and-elbow-pads/
Thank you for the review. I need to search further as I do not want a chair with that bonded leather, or whatever leather that decides to start disintegrating over time and getting everywhere. It's a mess!
I gave up on this... that cheat PU is on nearly all of them, and definitely impossible not to find on the cheap ones. I just don't understand why! So frustrating. Anyway, in the end, I've ordered a lower-end one (all I can afford) and I've bought a car seat cover to put over it! The car seat cover won't look fabulous, but I have a limited budget. And cats.
Hi I trying to pick between two gaming chairs. One chair states that the seat frame is made from wood. Would you recommend avoiding that chair?
