I have always thought it's weird how gaming chairs are designed to emulate motorsport bucket seats instead of a S-class Mercedes backseat like this one does.

As an owner of a car with a OE semi bucket seat, I can confirm that real car seats are by FAR much more comfortable than any "gaming chair" I've ever tested. Most of the credit goes into how real automotive seats all have absolutely superior lumbar support compared to gaming chairs. TLDR: If you want comfort and sport/racecar looks, you're better off bolting a real car seat to a set of wheels.

@@4G12 I have a _ancient_ sparco bucket at my garage and it is about as soft and plush as some gaming chairs I have sat on. I have actually thought about doing the car seat on office chair roller mod some day, a nice mid 90's cloth seat would be so comfy to sit on.

It even looks comfortable in the thumbnail, thats a piece of art ! my wife says i can get one of these for the living room which never happens. Its just so happens I havent yet told her the price....

first time ive seen a chair like this with a built in battery pack so it doesnt need to be wired all the time into a plug socket. that is brilliant. great review mat - I cant see you selling this one on ebay, would it even fit into a normal size van? lol

Oh my goodness it looks so lovely

I’ve had their products before and this is gonna be worth it. I’m upgrading around Feb and this is now on the top of my list.

thanks for review

I love the Doctor Evil description 👌🏿

wow, I want this, - from the thumbnail alone I had to see what it was. awesome review mat - just subbed !

yes we have to phone him a few times to wake up. only downside of it.

amazing!

Exposed screwheads on the charging plate is the one letdown on the fit and finish. Besides that looks brilliant! Wondering one thing tho, does the back end of the bottom bit drop as you recline, or does it always stay parallel to the floor? Asking because I like to sit with my butt lower than my knees and it doesn't look like this chair does that.

Does it support upright posture for focused working and studying?

I might buy this. I’ll deal with the fallout later 😂

I think chair is great! Always wanted a armchair rather than the uncomfortable task style chair

That thing must weigh a tonne. Love how fast it dips when Mat lowers the height you can see the building kinetic energy right there.. Impressive weight limit too did they get the gas strut from a lorry or something?

Stupid question but can this realistically be used as an office chair for work for 6-7hrs a day? ie could it replace a HM Aeron for example? Watching movies and gaming, sure, but what about proper work for extended periods?

Love the intro: Dr Evil indeed! And really, for me, it fails on looks. De gustibus... Anyway, great review, just lacking the addressing of one issue: how easily did you get it through your door? Some former neighbours had Ekornes chairs which I see are now of a similar price point (and up!) and they were wonderful, so I hope they'll enable you to do a comparison.

Any product that casually leaves the label sewn into the leather sticking out just yells premium. It looks like.a very high end chair.

I've bought a recliner armchair like 5 years ago for 250 USD. No gaming chair can match it. Planning to buy a 1000 usd one which is even better. Recliner is the best when your job is sitting in from of the PC all day long, like a software developer.

@@KitGuruTech it's a brand named Ashley, US. They have nice recliner armchairs.

You had to go to the opposite side of the spectrum, didn't you? Just to prove a point. I found a second hand executive chair for £200 just as comfortable, admitted it doesn't have the electrics but they're not necessary. The chair was so comfortable I often fell asleep in it. The only problem was it was synthetic leather and it didn't last. I probably got about 5 years out of it. But you do not have to pay the stupid prices for a product just as good, I certainly miss that chair. I since bought one from Ikea and it is rubbish. If I could find another chair at the same price as that other one, I would do in an instant. I miss it terribly. It's as if the chair wrapped around you.

You will find someone in the comments for all of them saying everything is a waste of money, or something is too cheap, or too expensive. You will find people in gaming chair videos just ranting on about how everything with the word 'gaming' in the title sucks. I was quite pleased to see something like this featured - not cause id buy one, but just for the sh!ts and giggles.

I agree you don't need to spend this kind of money on a chair, but I would imagine the target audience for this chair are executives in high paying jobs and they might even be able to get their companies to buy it for their office. As a HALO product, its just fascinating for me to realise this is available even if I would never pay 2 grand for a chair.

Seems like the only improvement worth making to this chair is a set of aluminium rims with polyurethane tires for greater durability and quietness. Otherwise, it's practically perfect, if one can afford it.
