@@TheAxelBrown Honestly this is massive. Looking at chairs and I'm a huge bloke myself, so knowing the difference is great. I'm 6'6/7"" 355ish (not an athletic 355 either), so a review that touches on that really helps. Was already looking at the XL as the Titan isn't rated for my weight, but knowing for sure that that's the case is great.
good review, gave a like. Question: I play/work reclined. Is the neck pillow enough to support your head when reclined, or is it a non-factor? I'm 6'3" myself and REALLY need something that can support my head in that position, which as you probably know is almost impossible to find.
Watched so many videos on these chairs and straight-up dude really appreciate your honest points about the two. I'll use your affiliate link as a nice kickback to your channel. Keep up the great work 👍
Finally a decent review of these chairs for the larger user! I'm 183cm (6'0") and 110kg (240lbs) and I've been deliberating over the regular Titan or the XL for a week now! I think I'll opt for the regular as I prefer the more snug fitting sides around the back. Thanks for the review!
I've been looking into buying one of these chairs and it's super helpful that you gave your height and weight. I'm the same as you at 6'5 240lbs so this review has been really helpful. Will probably end up going with the Titan. Thank you.
@@TheAxelBrown I was looking at my current chair now which has the same width as the excel and haven’t noticed a problem. I never had a snug chair so don’t know how that feels
Really solid review that helped me decide which material to get. I love the leathers look too but I’m worried about peeling since it is bonded and we’re forking out $400 for it. Thank you!
My daughter has just preordered the Titan XL in black with the Cyan as that’s her fave colour . We have gone through so many chairs as she’s tall and big as well and we feel the Titan will hit the mark . The soft weave looks nice though .
Thanks helped me chose between the softweave and the PU leather, gonna get the softweave cookies n cream in the Titan series as I’m 6ft about 70kg. I’ll be sure to use your link. And good job on the videos 👍🏻
Thanks! Yeah then that definitely makes the most sense! Haha. First time I've heard that one! 🧘♂️ please do click the link if you're gonna buy, helps me out! 😁
Hey bro, your video is the only one useful that I found for tall people. I´m 1´94 cm (like 6´4" or so), athletic, 100Kg. and you´re completely right, the XL is too wide, and the regular (I´m talking now about the new names of the Titan Evo 2022 sizes) fits me completely perfect. Thanks to your video I chosen the right one, had the opportunity to try both of them at a store and yes, the XL is too wide.
Great vid friend! I have had my eye one these chairs for a bit. They really scream quality, and this vid convened me to give it a try. So I just ordered the titan soft weave cookies & cream with your link. The only down side I have to wait tell mid July before it ships. :( Thanks for the great review. New sub
Nice review, subscribed and purchased using your link! 👍 Went for XL as I do like them a little bigger (I’m 6’2 and 16 stone) and even though have black Esther chair at mo got the soft weave cookies and cream version as it looks cool and you said it was more comfy!
Awesome, that's what the reviews here for man, to give you the info to make the decision that's right for you! Thanks so much for using the link, and enjoy your chair my man! ✌️
im not so tall, just 173cm 5'8 but i get the titan anyways and just bought the softweave because i hate when chair get flaking & my back hurts for working long hours. i hope my decision won't disappoint me huhu.
This is a great honest feel review and guided my decision towards the Titan softweave (will order now) I'm 6'1 & an athletic 17.5 stone. I agree the softweave in stealth black would look nice. Initially I was leaning towards the ergonomic neuechair from secret lab. Would love to hear your review on that if they could kindly send you one! & what watch are you rocking in this vid? - Nial
No worries, glad i could help! Titan is a good choice. Thats a decent idea, as its one of the only things i havent tried. Might have to get on to them for it. The watch is a Bell&Ross BR-02 with a Horus blue Camo strap.
Thanks for the review! I was uncertain whether I should choose PU Leather or the SoftWeave, I really like the cookies cream design. Now I'm certain I will live the titan cookies cream and just placed my order :) Only have to wait till Christmas till it ships...
@@TheAxelBrown I sure hope so. I have been ruined by so many chairs (very expensive ones) within minutes of sitting on them. Did so much research and I hope this lives up to the quality claimed by all the reviews out there. I sold my HM Aaron chair side C to fund this bad boy so fingers crossed.
Great review man, discovered ur channel today. A question about the Titan, when chilling and watching a movie for example, are you comfortable with the top of the backrest? My actual chair have this kind of “wings” also and when I’m not on my keyboard and chilling back my shoulders are pushed forward by wings and it’s very uncomfortable. I’m 187cm and 100 kg with an athletic build and wide shoulders.
If you find that's an issue with your current one, then I'd say go for the XL maybe? I rarely kick back in mine for very long, I use it pretty exclusively for when I'm at my computer with mouse and keyboard etc. I like the wings on the side for that, as I feel they support me in that position, but I can imagine if they bug you on other ones then you might want the bigger size, as that is what I noticed most between the two models, the distance between wings! hopw that helps!
Hey, I found this while I looking for a chair that fits taller guys. I am 6'7" and 260 and I agree with your take on the size of the chairs. My son is 6'4 and still growing but he is a bigger build and the XL fit him perfectly both height and width. He sits in it fully criss crossing his legs and is perfectly comfortable. I sat in the XL for a month before giving to my son and it just felt too wide and I found myself leaning to one side or the other. The regular titan fits me like a glove and I have to agree that the softweave would be the preferred choice for comfort as well. I liked the PU leather but the softweave is just so nice in warmer weather. Due to shipping times I am currently sitting in the regular titan in PU leather rather than the softweave and am perfectly fine but in the back of my head I wished I would have waited for the softweave.
Thats actually really interesting to hear! There was a part of me that wondered if it was the right advice to say for people my size to go for the XL, so im glad that you agree. it does seem as though height isnt the limiting factor between the Titan and the XL, rather that its hip/chest width! I'm all in on the softweave, i just really wish they would be more adventurous with the designs for the softweave! for example the new AAPE one they just released would have been an easy purchase for me if it was softweave, but as it isnt, ive given it a miss.
@@TheAxelBrown Totally agree, they have great designs that are just like the cherry on top of a ice cream sundae in the leather, but the newest all black softweave looks so damn good I almost wish I could have waited.
FYI - Its not genuine leather... PU leather is an artificial leather material made with polyurethane and split leather, which is the fibrous hide left over from making actual genuine leather. They do sell a genuine leather model in the Titan, but not currently the XL Titan.
For sure, but i still find even with bad fake/faux leather you still get that peeling off effect when you have bare skin on it. I haven't found that to be nearly as much of an issue with how they present/treat this PU Leather! Maybe ill need to try the real leather next!
@@TheAxelBrown PU Leather doesn't breath because it doesnt have gaps between fibers. Leather does a little, but not when you sweat as it creates a seal. Wearing no clothes on a PU chair is definitely something you want to avoid, and it will cause you to sweat a lot even without it being that warm - this feels yuk and will also degrade the pu leather much faster. Honestly even real leather you don't want to do that because even though it does breath a bit, if it is hot and you sweat its going to seal and you will stick. PU is GREAT, and good quality variety of it like this one will actually keeps its original color FAR longer than leather, however just don't go on it without clothes, or expect it to be great feeling when hot.
Hey @TheAxelBrown, thanks for the review. I'm about your height (194) and I'm choosing between Titan and Titan XL. I'm looking at Titan (since I'm 90kg) but the only thing that I worry about if the head pillow position is high enough to be comfortable? In your video it looks like the XL is significantly taller and fits you better, but that could be just the view angle.
I actually find the head pillow to be too high on the XL as in reality it's more of neck pillow to use it comfortably. So you don't actually want it right behind your head!
Hi mate, I own the black and gold titan and me being 6.0 foot on the dot is perfect for me. When I look at you in it, I'm sorry to say you're too big for it. You fit the Titan XL perfectly on the other hand. Maybe the feeling of being held in isn't going to end up being the best as the normal titan over time will begin to feel cramped, where the XL will begin to feel perfect in the long run. It's like for myself the Omega to the titan. I'm so glad I ended up with the titan in the end, I've had mine for 3 1/2 years now and it is just perfect! If I had the omega I wouldn't be saying that. The Titan XL is actually the right chair for you sorry to say. Look at the video and look at yourself on the Titan, you can't see it at all. The Titan XL fits your dimensions perfectly when you're sitting on it by comparison. If you're also a bobsledder that's why I'm sure you like the song fit, but the titan simply isn't big enough for you the Titan XL is perfect instead. Keep the Titan XL, trust a Titan owner!
I've had the Titan for a year now, and used the XL for a month and I stand by my verdict tbh. The XL just doesn't work as well for me. I've since switched back to the Titan and it's spot on. But I think the key thing here is that it's so variable for body shape. Titan works for me, and that's all this review is or ever could be really, and that's my opinion! Sounds like Titan also works for you, which is awesome! What we can at least agree on is that they're excellent chairs regardless of size! 😁😁
I am choosing between the softweave and the PU leather atm. what should I choose regarding the PU leather won't last long and the fabric is hard to maintain.
I'd go for the fabric. I've had it for about a year now of heavy use, I eat my lunch on it every day and I've had no issue with it being hard to maintain, nor does it have any stains or signs of wear. So IMO go for the softweave, as I prefer it and you'll save a bit of cash in the meantime! 👍🏻
Crap, you just cost me 429 euros. ;o I'm similar to you in size (192cm ~ 105kg) and this video answered pretty much all my questions, ordered a Titan in SoftWeave Charcoal Blue. 😎 Couldn't use your link unfortunately since I bought it through my company. I did subscribe to your channel, you got some great content and I'm looking forward to seeing more. 👍
Hahah. Sorry #notsorry I'm interested about the blue! I think it looks cool, but wouldn't really fit my office looks-wise! Hey, no worries man, thanks for the sub! :)
So I'm 6'3" and weigh 225lb and a track athlete so I'm not "big"..... but my shoulders are super wide. Do you think the titan is wide enough, that's my biggest concern. Loved the review!
I reckon so, yeah! As you can possibly tell from my proportions, I'm fairly wide in the shoulders too and just a bit bigger than you, and I prefer the way my body sits titan. Felt I had too much space on my back in the XL
Thanks for the review. What do you think of the height for the headrest? I’m 6ft 4 and often find it hard to find a seat that is high enough. Do you think the headrest height is good enough?
We're a similar height, and it works for me. Remember that the pillow becomes more of a neck rest than a headrest, as that's where it's best for posture. Both the titan and the XL work for me for height!
I think the XL will work. Ultimately you'd be happy with either I reckon. The differences aren't *that* great. certainly not enough to change the order or regret the purchase at all!
Awesome review, liked and subbed. I was getting soft weave regardless but it’s the normal or xl that’s getting me. I’m 6ft and 20stone but that’s going down and I still don’t know which to get!?!?!?
Hmm, tricky as it seems like you might be between the two! Honestly, depends where you carry your weight. Obviously you'll be fine for height with either. If you're a wider guy, then might be worth going with the XL. After all, too big is manageable, too small can be a waste of money!
I have cats they like to jump up on the chair while I work, do you know the fabric would last? I would never do leather with cats... that’s just idiotic lol.
Hi. I have two cats as well! The fabric has been find for the last year or so. What i've found is that it is too high for them to want to use it as a scratching post (like they might with a couch) and actually they rarely jump on the seat itself. i don't think its that comfy for them, and they don't like the rotation. Easy way to keep them off.... just have it at a slight recline and they wont sit on it!
you are bigger than me, i am a 6`0 guy, i want to buy xl but i am afraid its too big for me since i am slim, so i buy titan instead, so i am relieve i choose the right chair
you look like you fit better in the XL. I do wish they sold these in Best Buy or something because I really do not know which one to get and I can't afford to try both lol
Thanks for the great review, I wanted something softer and I love leather so I decided to go with the black Napa leather titan since it’s softer than the pu leather.
Thanks for the review! A question for you if you can help me. I am possibly a few cm taller than you, at around 198cm (weight 80kg). I want a chair with head rest after years of using ordinary office chairs that don't have one. Do you think the Titan is high enough for my size ? Like you say the XL is better for a larger build user, so it doesn't suit me in that sense. But I just not sure on the height in the Titan.
I think it will be ok. Because realistically the head pillow is more of a neck pillow anyway (by design) so I think it should be alright! I hope that helps! :)
@@TheAxelBrown thanks for that! I'm pretty sure now which way to go.This is really helpful info, because there's no retailers where I live that have any chairs to try before buying, due to COVID-19!
Wondering if you have experienced pain in your hamstrings from the front edge of the seat cushion? I just got a titan in the black3 color way and it’s hurting me dude. That cushion is digging into me and destroying my hammies. I’m 6’2” 220 so I figured the titan would fit but damn man this thing hurts.
I've not had any issues with it, no! I've not heard of that before, it might be that you have extraordinarily tight hamstrings? Because if so, small things like that can fire up pain/tendonitis! I'd suggest some foam rolling! Haha
Bro need your feedback. I just got the Titan and feel that my legs are bothered by the sides that rise up on the seat. I feel that the flat base isn’t wide enough. I’m only 6ft 220 pounds. Not big by any means. How do you feel about it?
Personally I've never had an issue with it, and I have pretty huge legs. It's probably just that your others didn't have it and will take some getting used to!
Honestly, I think probably the titan. Just the other day a guy commented that he's 6'7 and 117kg and he much prefers the titan to his son's XL. It certainly seems that you'll prefer having the right width and feeling "in" the chair than having a small amount of extra height but it being far too wide for your frame! So I'd go for the titan if I were you! Let me know how you get on though?
@@TheAxelBrown I think I'll go for the titan, will let you know when I decide/get it. Would you say the chair is too hard or just about right? Saw some people complaining that the chair is hard, so I am curious about your thoughts! Thanks for replying :)
I've seen that and I know what they mean in that it's harder than your standard padded office chair. But for me it's far from TOO hard. I genuinely find it incredibly comfortable. I add a back cushion, but that's more for posture than softness!
I wish they did the softweave in black with a grey/white logo. The blue looks too gamer for my taste. Cookies and cream wouldn't fit in with the colour scheme in my office particularly well so I'm stuck. I definitely don't want leather.
Cheers for this, I was going to get the XL as I thought the height would be more, but I’m the same height and slim so seems the Titan may be the better choice after all.
@@TheAxelBrown just want to make sure the link is right though, as when i click it takes me to their main page but if i click on the model i want, the address removes the affiliate link, I only point it out as i don't want you to lose out.
It's ok, thanks for checking. Once you've clicked it, as long as you don't delete browser data/cookies between clicking the link and buying, it will work. Thanks so much!!
Was there ever a break in period when you first got your chair? I just got mine and it so firm it makes my tail bone and lower back sore. Hoping I just have to break it in and it won't hurt anymore.
Just bought the Titan 2020 Softweave with your link! I can't wait to sit in a chair that's meant to be sat in for more than 30 minutes. The chair I'm sitting in right now kills my bad just a little bit more and more every day. I'll have to endure it for a bit longer though because the Titan isn't scheduled to ship until late July! :( I guess this is the chair-buying season.
Loads of people are getting them now, yeah! It'll be worth the wait and I'm sure your back will thank you. In the meantime, I'll thank you for clicking the link! :)
Is the softweave going to stain real bad if I happen to spill a little on it? I mean, it's cloth or something, right? I eat at my desk, so I don't really want to see a slow buildup of stains over time that I can't do anything about.
i eat at my desk every lunch, and haven't had any problems. First off i find that i cover the material parts with my body pretty well, so if i drop something it goes on me rather than the seat, and i've had no problems if i accidentally sit on some chocolate for example, getting it out!
Great video thank you very much for all those informations :) I sub :) and a question btw, I am 5 foot 7 inches and weight about 255 pounds ( 116 kg) yes overweight I know ;) and trying to cut that down it's working but slowly , but still I have quite a good muscular mass and a hefty or bulky shape ( sorry btw for my english my first language is french and I don't want it to sound like boasting myself) and I am hesitating between the SecretLab Titan and Titan XL. Maybe it is evident that I should take the Titan over the XL but I never seen one irl and I fear that going with the XL might be too large especially in the future. Thank you very much for the time put to my question ;) and if you don't see my message or can't answer that's ok :) .
Thanks for the sub! I definitely think the Titan would be the best for you right now. The other proportions like the height etc would be too much I think with you being as tall as you are!
@@TheAxelBrown Thank you very much for the quick answer :) I am really sorry but when I try to follow your link to buy the Titan it put me directly on their website homepage and the link change back to the normal one, could it be because I live in Quebec, Canada ?
Hey, i just got my chair 2 days ago, just wanted to ask if yours had a chemical smell? If it did how long did it last? I'm just a bit paranoid that it might be a toxic batch or something haha..
Yes, it did. I think that is mostly from the packing materials, and a little bit from the foam. it went within a day or two though! So i wouldn't worry :)
The entire product is one large petrochemical assembly... Of course it's going to outgas - how could it possibly not? Heads up, bonded leather is ground-up tiny bits of leather scrap suspended in a polyurethane matrix. It's not leather - it's just a fancy plastic fabric. As for the toxicity? Yeah, it probably is to some degree... Just like any number of things we surround ourselves with. If you own a shirt made of acrylic fabric - you're way more impacted by that than this chair; just don't eat the foam and you should be fine.
Project: Jericho The thing is it isn’t bonded leather, the chair I got was the fabric version. The heat in California was intense last week and my room did not have ventilation. I sat and slept next to the chair for 3 days as I worked from home and I had no idea what off gassing was until I started having severe symptoms with breathing issues and now chest/lung pain. My dog wouldn’t even enter the room after I built the chair. It wasn’t until the 4th day when I moved the chair to the yard and the 5th day when I began to try to ventilate the room. I can’t even stay in that room anymore without having breathing issues. Now I’m wondering if the off gassing and poor ventilation built up enough fumes to a point where it was at a toxicity level high enough to cause permanent damage to my lungs since I already have athsma. I honestly don’t know if it’s because i am sensitive to off gassing, or if the chair was able to produce a dangerous enough amount due to the heat/poor ventilation in the room to harm me. Either way, I guess my question would be to you, am I now going to get cancer, or do chairs like these not produce enough fumes to cause cancer compared to say a worker that would be at risk to these raw chemicals.
I had the same exact issue but not between stealth (though OMG I LOVE IT TOO) it was between Classic and Weave cookies and cream. I may just have to buy a Cookies and Cream chair to compare them both in real life and then go ahead and return one of them.
Just a heads up, though i love their products, i have heard a few times that their returns process is not good! so its not like amazon where you can just wing one back to them!
If there is something wrong with one then they will send out spare parts etc instead of returning, i think likely because of the size of the boxes and the hassle of shipping.
TheAxelBrown, can you provide the width measurement of the inner backrest. Like where the Gold T is. from inner stitch of one side to the other. I want to know how wide that is to see how snug or loose my back might be in that chair. Seems Titan vs XL is more a snug fit yet inner width seems similar.thanks
So, as I mentioned in the video I only planned on keeping the Titan, so I gave the XL to a close friend. I can measure the Titan, or see if I can ask them the measure the XL?
Could u give me ur opinion. Im 5'11 200lbs do you think the chair would be too big for me that it would make it uncomfortable to game in. And you know that gamer position when it's point game and u scoot up a little, I'm mostly in that position lol. But yea what do u think
Definitely just the titan out of these two for you mate! I've found it pretty easy to be comfy in any position. I also just bought a little bean bag footstool which helped (I have a video on accessories too). But overall, the XL would be much too big for you IMO, because it felt too big even for me and I'm a fair bit bigger than you! 👍 Hope that helps bro!

Racing chairs are to keep you in place and help you with geeforces while racing. Why do they use this design for gaming chairs where you experience 0 g's. It makes no sense.
They have smaller options like the omega! Hit the link in the description and take a look at the full range. They even have a finder where you can put in your height and weight and it'll tell you their recommendation!
Sure! Well if you think you'll be 190+ then consider the Titan, but I think for at least the next year or two the best bet would be the omega! Then you could always sell your omega and get a bigger one if you need. Plenty of people will buy used because of the wait time on some of the newer models. So it's not a bad investment in that sense!

Hey bro, your video is the only one useful that I found for tall people.
I´m 1´94 cm (like 6´4" or so), athletic, 100Kg. and you´re completely right, the XL is too wide, and the regular (I´m talking now about the new names of the Titan Evo 2022 sizes) fits me completely perfect.

This is a great honest feel review and guided my decision towards the Titan softweave (will order now)
I'm 6'1 & an athletic 17.5 stone. I agree the softweave in stealth black would look nice.

No worries, glad i could help! Titan is a good choice.
Thats a decent idea, as its one of the only things i havent tried. Might have to get on to them for it.

Thanks for the review! I was uncertain whether I should choose PU Leather or the SoftWeave, I really like the cookies cream design. Now I'm certain I will live the titan cookies cream and just placed my order :) Only have to wait till Christmas till it ships...
I am big and tall so went for the XL PU leather 2.0 yesterday, can't wait for that beast to arrive!
It *should* be pretty game changing! Enjoy!
@@TheAxelBrown I sure hope so. I have been ruined by so many chairs (very expensive ones) within minutes of sitting on them. Did so much research and I hope this lives up to the quality claimed by all the reviews out there. I sold my HM Aaron chair side C to fund this bad boy so fingers crossed.
Really good review, I'm very tall but not built so I wasn't sure if I should go with the titan or titan XL.
Really glad it helped! If you find yourself buying one, please do use the link!
Great review man, discovered ur channel today.
A question about the Titan, when chilling and watching a movie for example, are you comfortable with the top of the backrest?
My actual chair have this kind of “wings” also and when I’m not on my keyboard and chilling back my shoulders are pushed forward by wings and it’s very uncomfortable.
I’m 187cm and 100 kg with an athletic build and wide shoulders.
If you find that's an issue with your current one, then I'd say go for the XL maybe? I rarely kick back in mine for very long, I use it pretty exclusively for when I'm at my computer with mouse and keyboard etc.
I like the wings on the side for that, as I feel they support me in that position, but I can imagine if they bug you on other ones then you might want the bigger size, as that is what I noticed most between the two models, the distance between wings! hopw that helps!
Hey, I found this while I looking for a chair that fits taller guys. I am 6'7" and 260 and I agree with your take on the size of the chairs. My son is 6'4 and still growing but he is a bigger build and the XL fit him perfectly both height and width. He sits in it fully criss crossing his legs and is perfectly comfortable. I sat in the XL for a month before giving to my son and it just felt too wide and I found myself leaning to one side or the other.
The regular titan fits me like a glove and I have to agree that the softweave would be the preferred choice for comfort as well. I liked the PU leather but the softweave is just so nice in warmer weather. Due to shipping times I am currently sitting in the regular titan in PU leather rather than the softweave and am perfectly fine but in the back of my head I wished I would have waited for the softweave.
Thats actually really interesting to hear! There was a part of me that wondered if it was the right advice to say for people my size to go for the XL, so im glad that you agree. it does seem as though height isnt the limiting factor between the Titan and the XL, rather that its hip/chest width!
I'm all in on the softweave, i just really wish they would be more adventurous with the designs for the softweave! for example the new AAPE one they just released would have been an easy purchase for me if it was softweave, but as it isnt, ive given it a miss.
@@TheAxelBrown Totally agree, they have great designs that are just like the cherry on top of a ice cream sundae in the leather, but the newest all black softweave looks so damn good I almost wish I could have waited.
FYI - Its not genuine leather... PU leather is an artificial leather material made with polyurethane and split leather, which is the fibrous hide left over from making actual genuine leather.
They do sell a genuine leather model in the Titan, but not currently the XL Titan.
For sure, but i still find even with bad fake/faux leather you still get that peeling off effect when you have bare skin on it. I haven't found that to be nearly as much of an issue with how they present/treat this PU Leather! Maybe ill need to try the real leather next!
@@TheAxelBrown PU Leather doesn't breath because it doesnt have gaps between fibers. Leather does a little, but not when you sweat as it creates a seal.
Wearing no clothes on a PU chair is definitely something you want to avoid, and it will cause you to sweat a lot even without it being that warm - this feels yuk and will also degrade the pu leather much faster. Honestly even real leather you don't want to do that because even though it does breath a bit, if it is hot and you sweat its going to seal and you will stick.
PU is GREAT, and good quality variety of it like this one will actually keeps its original color FAR longer than leather, however just don't go on it without clothes, or expect it to be great feeling when hot.
Hey @TheAxelBrown, thanks for the review. I'm about your height (194) and I'm choosing between Titan and Titan XL. I'm looking at Titan (since I'm 90kg) but the only thing that I worry about if the head pillow position is high enough to be comfortable? In your video it looks like the XL is significantly taller and fits you better, but that could be just the view angle.
I actually find the head pillow to be too high on the XL as in reality it's more of neck pillow to use it comfortably. So you don't actually want it right behind your head!
Hi mate, I own the black and gold titan and me being 6.0 foot on the dot is perfect for me. When I look at you in it, I'm sorry to say you're too big for it.
You fit the Titan XL perfectly on the other hand. Maybe the feeling of being held in isn't going to end up being the best as the normal titan over time will begin to feel cramped, where the XL will begin to feel perfect in the long run.
It's like for myself the Omega to the titan.
I'm so glad I ended up with the titan in the end, I've had mine for 3 1/2 years now and it is just perfect!
If I had the omega I wouldn't be saying that.
The Titan XL is actually the right chair for you sorry to say.
Look at the video and look at yourself on the Titan, you can't see it at all. The Titan XL fits your dimensions perfectly when you're sitting on it by comparison.
If you're also a bobsledder that's why I'm sure you like the song fit, but the titan simply isn't big enough for you the Titan XL is perfect instead.
Keep the Titan XL, trust a Titan owner!
I've had the Titan for a year now, and used the XL for a month and I stand by my verdict tbh. The XL just doesn't work as well for me. I've since switched back to the Titan and it's spot on.
But I think the key thing here is that it's so variable for body shape. Titan works for me, and that's all this review is or ever could be really, and that's my opinion! Sounds like Titan also works for you, which is awesome! What we can at least agree on is that they're excellent chairs regardless of size! 😁😁
@@TheAxelBrown 😂 agreed!
This review was so helpful! Thank you so much!
I am choosing between the softweave and the PU leather atm. what should I choose regarding the PU leather won't last long and the fabric is hard to maintain.
I'd go for the fabric. I've had it for about a year now of heavy use, I eat my lunch on it every day and I've had no issue with it being hard to maintain, nor does it have any stains or signs of wear. So IMO go for the softweave, as I prefer it and you'll save a bit of cash in the meantime! 👍🏻
Thanks for the videos! Used your link to order the Titan Softweave Cookies & Cream!
(Hoping my cats behave like yours...)
Thanks for using the link, I'm glad it helped! I think any cat will be interested in the big box!
@@TheAxelBrown Oh yes! The box they will definitely like! :-)
Crap, you just cost me 429 euros. ;o
I'm similar to you in size (192cm ~ 105kg) and this video answered pretty much all my questions, ordered a Titan in SoftWeave Charcoal Blue. 😎
Couldn't use your link unfortunately since I bought it through my company. I did subscribe to your channel, you got some great content and I'm looking forward to seeing more. 👍
Hahah. Sorry #notsorry
I'm interested about the blue! I think it looks cool, but wouldn't really fit my office looks-wise!
Hey, no worries man, thanks for the sub! :)
Had to get the XL at 6'10" 370lbs fits me pretty good
Wow! You're a big man!! If it fits and works for you, it'll work for anyone!
I just ordered the Titan Stealth yesterday... I'm 6'2" 205 lbs... I hope I won't be disappointed... only time will tell I guess lol
I'm sure you wont be, I think the Titan will be just right!
I got it today. The seat is definitely firm but comfortable 😊
The xl now has a cookies and cream softweave version, thinking of buying it.
I saw that! Nice. Go for it, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
@@TheAxelBrown Just got the email that it's shipped, can't wait.
Amazing! Not long to go now!...
Another excellent review....:) 👊👊🤙
Thanks!! 😁😎
Thanks for the help, I couldn't decide between them. I'm buying one through your link!
Amazing! thank you so much!!
Nice review mate best iv seen. Was going go xl but. going go titan im 6ft 1 And 15 stone. Cheers for the help
Sounds like the best choice! Enjoy it mate!
So I'm 6'3" and weigh 225lb and a track athlete so I'm not "big"..... but my shoulders are super wide. Do you think the titan is wide enough, that's my biggest concern. Loved the review!
I reckon so, yeah! As you can possibly tell from my proportions, I'm fairly wide in the shoulders too and just a bit bigger than you, and I prefer the way my body sits titan. Felt I had too much space on my back in the XL
Very helpful bro. Thank you
Thanks for the review. What do you think of the height for the headrest? I’m 6ft 4 and often find it hard to find a seat that is high enough. Do you think the headrest height is good enough?
We're a similar height, and it works for me. Remember that the pillow becomes more of a neck rest than a headrest, as that's where it's best for posture. Both the titan and the XL work for me for height!
Hey man im 6'1 260 and ordered the titan xl softweave. Do you think I should've gone with the regular titan or is the xl the one for me?
I think the XL will work. Ultimately you'd be happy with either I reckon. The differences aren't *that* great. certainly not enough to change the order or regret the purchase at all!
The way you describe your body type sounds how someone would explain the specs on their PC xD
And there it is, the answer to my question as to whether I needed the XL or not...Thanks! 6' 3" and 217 here.
Amazing, Titan is definitely the best option for you then! enjoy your seat!
Awesome review, liked and subbed. I was getting soft weave regardless but it’s the normal or xl that’s getting me. I’m 6ft and 20stone but that’s going down and I still don’t know which to get!?!?!?
Hmm, tricky as it seems like you might be between the two! Honestly, depends where you carry your weight. Obviously you'll be fine for height with either. If you're a wider guy, then might be worth going with the XL. After all, too big is manageable, too small can be a waste of money!
I have cats they like to jump up on the chair while I work, do you know the fabric would last? I would never do leather with cats... that’s just idiotic lol.
Hi. I have two cats as well! The fabric has been find for the last year or so. What i've found is that it is too high for them to want to use it as a scratching post (like they might with a couch) and actually they rarely jump on the seat itself. i don't think its that comfy for them, and they don't like the rotation. Easy way to keep them off.... just have it at a slight recline and they wont sit on it!
@theaxelbrown. Thank you. Love your video. It helped me decide to get this chair. It is pricey but my back will thank me later lol.
you are bigger than me, i am a 6`0 guy, i want to buy xl but i am afraid its too big for me since i am slim, so i buy titan instead, so i am relieve i choose the right chair
Heres my latest Secretlab Review, looking at all the differetn accessories! ruclips.net/video/iHD2mtsDRzg/видео.html
Great information. I'm 6'3 so it's good to know the titan is tall enough for me. Thanks!
Glad it helped! Love mine still :)
If you do decide to buy, please click the link it helps a lot! 😁😁
you look like you fit better in the XL. I do wish they sold these in Best Buy or something because I really do not know which one to get and I can't afford to try both lol
We need to figure out how to clone your Viking genetics. 6'5 goddamn, I'm only 5'8.
It has its ups and downs. Plane seats are impossible!!
it's mainly due to dairy consumption as a teen. If nw europeans wouldn't do that, we would be rather smaller.
Thanks for the great review, I wanted something softer and I love leather so I decided to go with the black Napa leather titan since it’s softer than the pu leather.
Awesome, sounds like it should be ideal then, enjoy!
Thanks for the review! A question for you if you can help me. I am possibly a few cm taller than you, at around 198cm (weight 80kg). I want a chair with head rest after years of using ordinary office chairs that don't have one. Do you think the Titan is high enough for my size ? Like you say the XL is better for a larger build user, so it doesn't suit me in that sense. But I just not sure on the height in the Titan.
I think it will be ok. Because realistically the head pillow is more of a neck pillow anyway (by design) so I think it should be alright! I hope that helps! :)
@@TheAxelBrown thanks for that! I'm pretty sure now which way to go.This is really helpful info, because there's no retailers where I live that have any chairs to try before buying, due to COVID-19!
I'm 6'2 and about 250lb... and want to make sure theres plenty of room. Think the Titan is enough?
Wondering if you have experienced pain in your hamstrings from the front edge of the seat cushion? I just got a titan in the black3 color way and it’s hurting me dude. That cushion is digging into me and destroying my hammies. I’m 6’2” 220 so I figured the titan would fit but damn man this thing hurts.
I've not had any issues with it, no! I've not heard of that before, it might be that you have extraordinarily tight hamstrings? Because if so, small things like that can fire up pain/tendonitis! I'd suggest some foam rolling! Haha
Thanks mate needed this info just saved me £80
Awesome! That's what I like to hear!
Bro need your feedback. I just got the Titan and feel that my legs are bothered by the sides that rise up on the seat.
I feel that the flat base isn’t wide enough. I’m only 6ft 220 pounds. Not big by any means. How do you feel about it?
Personally I've never had an issue with it, and I have pretty huge legs. It's probably just that your others didn't have it and will take some getting used to!
Does the seat height go high enough? I'm 6'4 and always end up with bad legs after a day of sitting in my chair because my legs aren't raised enough
Not sure if I should go for the XL being 6.9 but around/under 100kg?
Honestly, I think probably the titan. Just the other day a guy commented that he's 6'7 and 117kg and he much prefers the titan to his son's XL.
It certainly seems that you'll prefer having the right width and feeling "in" the chair than having a small amount of extra height but it being far too wide for your frame! So I'd go for the titan if I were you! Let me know how you get on though?
@@TheAxelBrown I think I'll go for the titan, will let you know when I decide/get it. Would you say the chair is too hard or just about right? Saw some people complaining that the chair is hard, so I am curious about your thoughts! Thanks for replying :)
I've seen that and I know what they mean in that it's harder than your standard padded office chair. But for me it's far from TOO hard. I genuinely find it incredibly comfortable. I add a back cushion, but that's more for posture than softness!
I wish they did the softweave in black with a grey/white logo. The blue looks too gamer for my taste. Cookies and cream wouldn't fit in with the colour scheme in my office particularly well so I'm stuck. I definitely don't want leather.
I agree! I would love a black softweave!!
Cheers for this, I was going to get the XL as I thought the height would be more, but I’m the same height and slim so seems the Titan may be the better choice after all.
Glad it helped. Titan is definitely the one I prefer! Please be sure to click the link if you do decide to buy! :)
@@TheAxelBrown will do
@@TheAxelBrown just want to make sure the link is right though, as when i click it takes me to their main page but if i click on the model i want, the address removes the affiliate link, I only point it out as i don't want you to lose out.
It's ok, thanks for checking. Once you've clicked it, as long as you don't delete browser data/cookies between clicking the link and buying, it will work. Thanks so much!!
@@TheAxelBrown ah ok lol just wanted to be sure as never really use them and wanted to ensure youd get your cut.
im 6'3 260lbs - a bit chunky, what would u reccomend, i fit comfortably in XXL Shirts n Hoodies, Thanks for the review!!
I reckon go for the titan XL then bud! If you found the review helpful please do hit the link! Cheers mate, and enjoy your chair!!

@@TheAxelBrown ty
Was there ever a break in period when you first got your chair? I just got mine and it so firm it makes my tail bone and lower back sore. Hoping I just have to break it in and it won't hurt anymore.
I have a small pillow that I use for my lower back. Might help you out?
Just bought the Titan 2020 Softweave with your link! I can't wait to sit in a chair that's meant to be sat in for more than 30 minutes. The chair I'm sitting in right now kills my bad just a little bit more and more every day. I'll have to endure it for a bit longer though because the Titan isn't scheduled to ship until late July! :( I guess this is the chair-buying season.
Loads of people are getting them now, yeah! It'll be worth the wait and I'm sure your back will thank you. In the meantime, I'll thank you for clicking the link! :)
@@TheAxelBrown My chair finally arrived a whole month early! :) Love it so far!
Is the softweave going to stain real bad if I happen to spill a little on it? I mean, it's cloth or something, right? I eat at my desk, so I don't really want to see a slow buildup of stains over time that I can't do anything about.
i eat at my desk every lunch, and haven't had any problems. First off i find that i cover the material parts with my body pretty well, so if i drop something it goes on me rather than the seat, and i've had no problems if i accidentally sit on some chocolate for example, getting it out!
Great video thank you very much for all those informations :) I sub :) and a question btw, I am 5 foot 7 inches and weight about 255 pounds ( 116 kg) yes overweight I know ;) and trying to cut that down it's working but slowly , but still I have quite a good muscular mass and a hefty or bulky shape ( sorry btw for my english my first language is french and I don't want it to sound like boasting myself) and I am hesitating between the SecretLab Titan and Titan XL. Maybe it is evident that I should take the Titan over the XL but I never seen one irl and I fear that going with the XL might be too large especially in the future. Thank you very much for the time put to my question ;) and if you don't see my message or can't answer that's ok :) .
Thanks for the sub! I definitely think the Titan would be the best for you right now. The other proportions like the height etc would be too much I think with you being as tall as you are!
@@TheAxelBrown Thank you very much for the quick answer :) I am really sorry but when I try to follow your link to buy the Titan it put me directly on their website homepage and the link change back to the normal one, could it be because I live in Quebec, Canada ?
Hey, i just got my chair 2 days ago, just wanted to ask if yours had a chemical smell? If it did how long did it last? I'm just a bit paranoid that
it might be a toxic batch or something haha..
Yes, it did. I think that is mostly from the packing materials, and a little bit from the foam. it went within a day or two though! So i wouldn't worry :)
The entire product is one large petrochemical assembly... Of course it's going to outgas - how could it possibly not? Heads up, bonded leather is ground-up tiny bits of leather scrap suspended in a polyurethane matrix. It's not leather - it's just a fancy plastic fabric. As for the toxicity? Yeah, it probably is to some degree... Just like any number of things we surround ourselves with. If you own a shirt made of acrylic fabric - you're way more impacted by that than this chair; just don't eat the foam and you should be fine.
Project: Jericho The thing is it isn’t bonded leather, the chair I got was the fabric version. The heat in California was intense last week and my room did not have ventilation. I sat and slept next to the chair for 3 days as I worked from home and I had no idea what off gassing was until I started having severe symptoms with breathing issues and now chest/lung pain. My dog wouldn’t even enter the room after I built the chair. It wasn’t until the 4th day when I moved the chair to the yard and the 5th day when I began to try to ventilate the room. I can’t even stay in that room anymore without having breathing issues. Now I’m wondering if the off gassing and poor ventilation built up enough fumes to a point where it was at a toxicity level high enough to cause permanent damage to my lungs since I already have athsma. I honestly don’t know if it’s because i am sensitive to off gassing, or if the chair was able to produce a dangerous enough amount due to the heat/poor ventilation in the room to harm me. Either way, I guess my question would be to you, am I now going to get cancer, or do chairs like these not produce enough fumes to cause cancer compared to say a worker that would be at risk to these raw chemicals.
I had the same exact issue but not between stealth (though OMG I LOVE IT TOO) it was between Classic and Weave cookies and cream. I may just have to buy a Cookies and Cream chair to compare them both in real life and then go ahead and return one of them.
Just a heads up, though i love their products, i have heard a few times that their returns process is not good! so its not like amazon where you can just wing one back to them!
If there is something wrong with one then they will send out spare parts etc instead of returning, i think likely because of the size of the boxes and the hassle of shipping.
TheAxelBrown, can you provide the width measurement of the inner backrest. Like where the Gold T is. from inner stitch of one side to the other. I want to know how wide that is to see how snug or loose my back might be in that chair. Seems Titan vs XL is more a snug fit yet inner width seems similar.thanks
So, as I mentioned in the video I only planned on keeping the Titan, so I gave the XL to a close friend. I can measure the Titan, or see if I can ask them the measure the XL?
Could u give me ur opinion. Im 5'11 200lbs do you think the chair would be too big for me that it would make it uncomfortable to game in. And you know that gamer position when it's point game and u scoot up a little, I'm mostly in that position lol. But yea what do u think
Definitely just the titan out of these two for you mate!
I've found it pretty easy to be comfy in any position. I also just bought a little bean bag footstool which helped (I have a video on accessories too). But overall, the XL would be much too big for you IMO, because it felt too big even for me and I'm a fair bit bigger than you! 👍 Hope that helps bro! And if you do decide to pull the trigger, please do click my link at any point, helps a bunch! 😁

Thanks alot I will do so
I dont understand... i see you have bought two chairs. why are you saying that you have to choose? Are you giving one to your girlfriend?
I bought the second purely to do a comparison and review. I have since sold one! :)
Isn't 190 cm 6 ' 3 ? Just asking cause im 190 my self and in my country we dont use feet
I'm 1.95m! :)
Went for cookies and cream. Not 100% on Colour but I wanted the fabric
Yeah, I wish they'd do some other colours for the softweave, but it's worth going for regardless!
Ordered mine last night 430$
Awesome! I'm sure you'll like it!
Nice beard bro
Hey cool, im the same weight as you =D But a lot shorter tho hahahaahahhaha
Racing chairs are to keep you in place and help you with geeforces while racing. Why do they use this design for gaming chairs where you experience 0 g's. It makes no sense.
6'2 240 and stocky.... Titan?
Yeah, for sure!
I look like an S sittin on my stone hope this chair fixes this situation
😂😂😂 I'm sure it will!
what if i am small
They have smaller options like the omega! Hit the link in the description and take a look at the full range. They even have a finder where you can put in your height and weight and it'll tell you their recommendation!
65 kilos 174 got anything
You'll definitely want to go with the "Omega" version! Rather than the Titan. Here's a link:
bit.ly/2RmuAoG
TheAxelBrown the thing is I’m 14 right now and growing way to fast like last year was 165
TheAxelBrown but I’ll look in to that thx
Sure! Well if you think you'll be 190+ then consider the Titan, but I think for at least the next year or two the best bet would be the omega! Then you could always sell your omega and get a bigger one if you need. Plenty of people will buy used because of the wait time on some of the newer models. So it's not a bad investment in that sense!
Dude seriously what's with ur hand movements.....u remind me of betos excessiveness. Besides the hand movements the review was good
