I just got mine today, and I love it, it is the most comfortable chair that I have ever sat in. I have had bad experiences with PU leather chairs in the past, so I got the softweave, and I don't regret my desition.
i'm glad i found this video. Finally in the market to upgrade my chair from the old Secretlab Throne to a Titan Evo and was planning on avoiding softweave because i get really warm. Seems like it might be the better way to go over the leatherette. Thanks!
Worst chair I ever bought. DON'T BUY IT. It's very hard to sit on, and after months of usage, it's still very hard. Plus, it hurts my back. The less expensive Costco leather chair was way better than this chair.
@@kalyanpolisetty4707 damn that sucks it didn’t work out for you. It’s amazing for me. Seat is a bit firm to sit on but that’s barely an issue for me. Especially considering everything else about the chair is soooo much better than my previous one.
@@liiiiam42 do you have the softweave version? I need a new chair and I cant really believe, that the softwave is better for warm days. I think that your back gets even more wet with that material or it feels worse than with the leather material. Probably I am wrong but thats why I am asking
@@datbrokkoli I have the older version (2020 i think) in the softweave and it is pretty awesome compared to the leather/fake leather. The leather seems to keep the moisture trapped while the softweave doesn't. The leather is cool to touch at first but warms fast where the softweave is not and doesn't feel like it warms as much or as fast
Man, I'm on the fence here. Some people say Titan Evo is stiff af, bad quality, noise, whatever... others say it works like a charm, no issues. Then again, the Razer Iskur has a nice lumbar support and seems to be alright as well. Both are priced similar, at this stage I have no idea what to go for. Anybody with an educated opinion? Appreciate it
@@tomahawkshock9065 Hi bro, so in the end after much researching I decided not to go for any gaming brand chair. Short answer is the BS8 Pro model by Flexispot at 299 euros, 275 euros with code discount. They sell US, CA and most of EU I think. I came to the conclusion that Ergonomic chairs would be the sweet spot between price, aesthetics and most of all, comfortability. The drawback when picking chairs is that you can't test them all before purchasing, so you need to take a leap of faith since what works for person A might not work for you, and viceversa. However, I'm very happy with my choice. Elegant design, simple to assemble yet solid, great for lower back pose, very adjustable and comfortable seat .
Got a feeling there's a few of us in the same/similar situation. dI was leaning towards the Secretlab chair, because it does look decent, and the skins are a reallly nice touch. Though, I've heard that even if their leather/fabrics are good quality, the base metals/plastics, are cheap Chinese junk. With various parts cracking, or breaking enterally. Plus issues with warranty requiring the original packaging, for returns… come on, who keeps their original packaging? That lead me to looking at office chairs, such as those from HM and Steelcase. I didn't like how a lot of those chairs looked, and the ones I did like, didn't have that great feedback on seat comfort (very important, imo). This brought me back to gaming chairs, and now I'm hearing about Razer's Iskur V2, which looks promising, but it's so new, there's no decent coverage, and... I don't know. Is it so hard to find something that looks nice, doesn't use poor qualtiy materals, has decent lumbar support (for a short person), and has a very nice booty cushion?
If you have boney butt, I highly recommend the Kaiser 3 pro. The seat is amazingly soft but resilient. The only con is the lumbar isn't as cushioned as many of us would like. No idea how the secret labs lumbar compares.
I've literally just ordered one, after years of having chairs from Amazon spending £100-£200 at a time and them only lasting around a year at most, without something breaking and the chair being unusable I finally bit the bullet and ordered one. Looking foreword to getting it.
Really loved the tilt locking mechanism as even most high end ergonomic chair don’t have that, as well as the head cushion, both super soft and does actually cool. That said, I gave it up for two reasons. One, the tailbone pain. The seat phone is simply way too dense, and I’m not even that heavy at 130lbs. It’s borderline rock hard, which is a shame because it’s a great and roomy chair for crosslegged sitting or snuggling up to watch a movie or what not. Unfortunately if you’re sitting legs propped up, cross legged, even reclined, or anything other than straight up and ergonomic, you WILL have tailbone strain fairly quickly and the seat really doesn’t get much softer over time. That said, if you’re someone with more meat on their bones are someone long accustomed to very hard seat, might not be much of an issue. It’s prob mostly my fault due to my sitting habits, just don’t plan on using it as a couch alternative as it’s closer to a very firm large office chair. Second reason is though getting a larger size is tempting for roominess, get the correct size. If you’re 5’7 or under, get the smallest size. Getting a regular or larger will result in the head cushion being too high and sliding it down to support your neck results in it losing its magnet connection, so it falls when you move your head or get up and it gets kinda irritating putting it back on over and over again so you just stop using it. Only other minor complaint id have is the armrests can sound a kinda rattly compared to most office chairs, and the lumbar mechanism will make some squeaks and creaks when leaning against it. All that said, for $500-$700 it really does feel premium and worth the money, but the seat was just the ultimate deal breaker for me after giving it a chance for about 8 months and not worth the strain. A simple cushion lab seat cushion could easily solve that for most people, I simply offer for trying out a different chair.
I ordered the leatherette Evo 2022 just now and I'm hoping the adjustable lumbar support is better than other chairs with the standard pillow that sits in one position at the bottom. Lower back support is my main concern when it comes to buying a new chair
@@Sepulphuric The lumbar support mechanism is...adequate. Not what I was expecting but definitely better than my old chair. I find myself using the memory foam head rest on my lower back sometimes but it is way too small. I'm still trying to adjust the height and see how I feel later
great review update, is the chair still silent after 2 years? most get gaming chairs get noisy when you recline the back rest or move side to side or sit down and get up after year or so. I want to purchase one but waiting on long term noise review.
i have a brand new evo 22 , great chair no noises , the material are fabulous and best instructions i have ever seen in my like , however i feel the chair is let down a lot by its wobbly arms ( which most people complain about but in these reviews not many people notice that ) ? i had a dx racer for the last 6 years and held up pretty well and sold 2nd hand with no defects , the arms were a little loose on that but not s bad as the secretlab and they were 4 way adjustable . if a little more thought had gone into the arms it would have made all the difference ............
I have the XL because im over 220 lb, but im 5'10. My feet are not completly on the floor. Its weird to design the height of a chair with the weight. And im surprised to see cover for chairs, they didnt show me that at all, didnt know it exist. But yes, the packaging is perfect. I followed the video tutorial from the website and its just perfect and easy. Really good product
Well they don't expect he average person to be over a certain weight for their height, of course there are those outside of those ranges but they are a large minority. I'm 6'3" so most chairs like this tend not to fit me because I'm either too tall or too wide to fit them and I'm only around 190lbs so it's purely because I have a around a 50 inch shoulder width. I have an older DX racer chair and while the chair itself is comfertable I can't really lean back comfertably beause it compresses my shoulders in.
really good to know I was looking for a new chair since i wont be taking mine with me when i move countries next week. Definetly will be ordering the purple softweave chair and maybe the hufflepuff skin ^^
Worst chair I ever bought. DON'T BUY IT. It's very hard to sit on, and after months of usage, it's still very hard. Plus, it hurts my back. The less expensive Costco leather chair was way better than this chair.
Sounds like you need better posture and not sit in the chair for so long. It's a common issue now days, people spend too much time sitting down and not moving. As for it being hard... That just means the padding is actually good and isn't breaking down after a few months
Chair is ultra comfortable! I work from home and sit for 10 hours. My butt or back never hurt or ache. I could recline this bad boy all down and sleep on it if I wanted to! My last chair I couldn't sit for more than 2 hours and my butt and back would hurt. I 100% recommend the chair.
They're definitely not the most expensive gaming chair (Herman Miller x Logitech Embody Gaming chair is over 3 times the price) but yeah, it's definitely pricey.

Upgraded a few months ago to the Softweave from a Staples PU Leather chair that was WAY too soft and WAY too big. Unbelievable difference.

Still no noise, but I remember a while ago my omega was starting to create a squeak. I just use furniture lubrication, and it went away like WD-40.
@HotshotTek i have squeeks after 1.75 years
Im same as you 5.8 ft how much space between your knee and edge of the seat ?
Just picked one up. I knew it was a firm base but does it break in a bit? It’s FIRM right now.
Give it about a month 👍
@@HotshotTek. Im same as you 5.8 ft how much space between your knee and edge of the seat in regular ?

fabulous and best instructions i have ever seen in my like , however
i feel the chair is let down a lot by its wobbly arms ( which most people

Yep my arm rests are so rattly but in all yt reviews this isnt talked about!
Hi,
Is it normal that it tilts a bit back and forth when its locked?
Also makes a noise while doing it
No, it should not tilted at all if it’s locked, I recommend contacting them or exchanging or get a refund.
Just purchased mine last night and I am not sure if I should of just gone with andaseat.
is it good? noisy or no?
Is this chair noisy or no, would my neighbour hear it if i game at night
