@B C yes I bought one. Ngl I was surprised on how comfortable it is

I have chronic back pain at 24 years old from years of bad posture. Got the titan Evo 2022 a few months ago and although it didn’t “fix” my back pain, it certainly isn’t making it worse and I can definitely tolerate long gaming sessions better than I used to in my previous chair. I 100% agree that it’s quite firm and sometimes the seat begins to hurt if I’m playing for a particularly long time. The back rest is a bit firm as well and occasionally I have to reduce the lumbar support a little bit. Besides that I’m happy with my purchase and I can just tell that it’s going to maintain its quality for years

Solid and, relatable remarks. TL;DR: I like my chair, share his complaints. Still recommend, tell them to F off with shilling for your extra two years on your warranty. I got the 2022 model Titan, and at 6' 4" I opted for the regular size to save some extra cash. I was replacing a really nice Steelcase office chair that had officially run its course and was causing some significant back pain, especially after the gym. They recommended the XL size, and I went with my wallet and judgement. I'm very much of the "buy once, cry once" mentality and did plenty of research and have my own gripes about Secretlab, chief among them is that in order to get your full, 5-year warranty you must shill your personally owned chair for them. I think that is a dirty practice and will do my part to share that element. It panned out well to choose the regular size, despite my height. It is a VERY tall chair, and even with my natural tendency to sit textbook perfect, this chair is more than adequate. I can't imagine what I would have benefitted from an even TALLER chair, or deeper seat. Long legs and all, it fits me fine. The armrests do indeed rattle more than I'd like to accept from a chair at this pricepoint, and I appreciate him pointing out it is not related to the magmount toprests. That element is a marketing gimmick to sell their alternative for an extra $80, which feels like a gouge in my humble opinion. Side note for that: if you're like me and wear a mechanical watch, these magnetic mounts MAY screw with your watch's balance, if it isn't magnetic protected. The magnets holding the mounts and pillow for that matter are impressively strong. My wrist rests RIGHT on the magnets and I have been keeping mind of my time to see if it begins to affect the watch. I have to have this chair at the peak of its height for my legs to feel naturally comfortable, notably due to my height. The armrest adjustments are very keen, and if you go below the chair you can even pull them in or out with the hardware. Speaking of hardware, the included toolkit was excellent, and I have nothing but compliments there. The bolts all seem to be stainless and have lockwashers and washers, so I haven't felt the need to throw on some loctite for good measure. The seat is deep, to my taste. That is to say to fully rest your back to the backrest, your butt has to be pretty deep and the seat supports a good chunk of your thighs. The fabric option (which I opted for) is not as "soft" as I anticipated, given the trademarked title. It has a coarseness to it, but doesn't feel abrasive, maybe "rugged" would suit that term. Even with the fabric option, it retains heat, which I attribute to the density of the foam cushions. I run hot naturally, and my previous mesh back chair didn't hold any heat (obviously). I attribute this a testament to the density, and likely, longevity of the foam. Worth noting, as I opted for the fabric to keep cooler in the summer. It's Spring and it already runs warm. I actually really like the gimmick of the magmounted pillow. It just works for ME. I don't rest on it when I'm actually gaming, but when I lounge in my chair, it it nice to not fight a band that involuntarily moves a neck pillow around. It is indeed a firm chair, not remotely a cloud, but I do not mind. Even with my nonexistant white boy butt, it's fine to sit in for extended periods but I will again cite that I tend to hold good posture by nature. The controls are all good, and very easily accessible from a seated position. The handle to move the backrest does however feel like the cheapest part of the chair, and you will note that everytime you use it. Last but not least, the casters are phenomenal. They roll great on carpet and don't try to "guide" the chair when you roll. They go pretty understated. It's a feel thing and difficult to describe. Overall, I do like mine and it's dang cozy. I'd recommend it to anyone eyeballing one, or a gaming chair. It gets a solid pass on my scale.

@@ManBoogey1 I honestly still rock this chair, but now due to price not quality. It's a fairly comfortable chair with a lot I dislike now. It's clattery as hell. None of the adjustable armrest features are solid, they all wobble. It was a feature for them, not a bug. The detachable tops for the armrests are polyurethane and deteriorating, and this is with one year's use. They sell "better" ones, naturally, and at a premium. The seat itself is rock solid, and I haven't had any issues such as discomfort, back pain, anything like that. It's a reasonably firm chair, but I've been okay with it. It still looks out of box new to me, but I also clean it regularly, and don't trash my stuff. The massive holds for me are the arm rests. They're trash, and I can't bear them for the price asked. Had I the money, I'd get another Steelcase and call it a day.

I've used both an Aeron and a Secretlab. While the Aeron was undeniably comfortable, the arm rests are what killed it for me. I just bought a lumbar support pillow for the Secretlab and it works fine. I need the arm rests -just- a certain way to comfortably play games extensively with a lot of mouse movement like FPS or RTS.

For what it's worth, I have the 2020 Omega fabric chair and I've been using it for the better part of a year now with daily use. My sessions range anywhere from 2 to 14 hours. The chair is definitely firm, but I use the lumbar and neck support pillows, and they help immensely to prevent discomfort. There's no rips in the fabric, no signs of wear, and it's retained it's shape the entire time. The legs are metal and the armrests are a condensed foam with metal frames and levers for adjustments. The SecretLab chairs are definitely built to last, which I'd hope so, because mine ran me almost $400USD. I also don't have back spasms with the chair, partly due to the fact that slouching in the chair is very uncomfortable, so I found myself actually sitting properly over time.

I've had the exact same 2022 as in the video since just before new year. The firmness takes some getting used to, but I started to like it. It's firm enough that you don't sag away in the chair, yet still not hard enough to be a pain in the butt (ha). The magnetic armrests aren't for long-term exchange when they're worn, but they're for upgrading and swapping them with new materials. The technogel for example, and maybe they'd introduce more.

@@porschepal7932 secret labs is more than likely your best bet then. I know the 2020 lineup of chairs are on sale but overall the 2022 chairs seem worth the price especially for adding lumbar support and adjustability. Just something most currant gaming/office chairs fail to offer without marking it up to double let alone triple the price of a standard secret labs chair that being between $500-$600. I’m sure they also plan to reveal the 2023 model soon as well since this year is coming to a close however in terms of back support and comfort, these chairs are definitely worth the price tag despite the minor issues that people generally point out like the firmness of the seat, which generally you get used to within a few days after using the chair periodically.

The 2020 is one of the taller gaming chairs out there. I also use the roller blade style wheels to protect my floor (and they're SILENT) which also adds almost 3/4" which doesn't sound like a lot but depending on your desk height it makes a big difference. I built my desk so I was able to customize its height but definitely be aware of the height of the chair.

That was an excellent review, and appreciate the straightforward talk. It's exactly how it should be done! Thanks, it answered all of my questions!

I previously owned a Secret Lab Gaming chair for about 2 years and I would use it quite often. At first I noticed it was extremely firm which I wasn't a fan of. I later found out that from the company that the chair would have a break in period and that it would take some time to get the chair adjusted to my body. It never did in my opinion because even after two years of use, I could only sit in the chair for maybe two hours. After that I would start to have severe back pain. I do have a bad back but that Secret Lab chair would always cause me discomfort after use. I recently sold my chair and I am in the market for a Steelcase Leap V2. I hope that it will reduce the back pain that I experienced in the Secret Lab.

Are you arm rest loose? Like do they move around a lot?

Subscribed. Very helpful videos bro

I bought one of these cause I see everyone using them and raving about them. It's the most uncomfortable thing I ever sat on. It's like seating on the bleachers, my butt falls a sleep in 5 mins. The back offers no lower back support and pushes the upper back forward causing a lot of pain and pressure in lower back, this makes your neck and head to far away to lean back. Your looking up at the ceiling under your glasses. I wasted 400 dollars, it cost more then half the price to send back. It says it's for people my size but the chair is so high my feet barely touch the ground and it's at the lowest it goes, I wish I could attach the photo so you could see it next to my old chair I wanted to replace and how much taller it is. The back is really tall and straight the bottom is very flat and square, feels like the back wants you to sit one way and the bottom wants you to sit another way. I thought it was gonna be like buying a seat from a truck but it's nothing like a truck seat. You have been warned. I'm stuck with this paper weight. I will gladly give mine away I don't even want to see it. If you wanna pay for shipping it's yours.

SecretLab May seem kind of like just another dxracer, but i assure you they are far more comfortable and they stand behind their product. Good chair with a good balance between looks and comfort for a fair price. Those of you that think the price is high you really haven’t seen how high chairs can go. Look at Levenger. I have the 2020 Titan XL with soft weave and it is an excellent product. I had issues with the left armrest “tearing” the cover and they replaced both armrests 0 questions asked.

I have the same problem and using an under desk foot rest is a game changer. Might help you as well

I hate when people point to HM chairs being more expensive as if to suggest that it's alright for a $550 chair to give you pain because it didn't cost $1500, completely ignoring that $550 is still a ton for a fucking chair.

My 2018 Secret Labs Omega is by far the best $300 i've spent in a while. After years of using it it is still just as comfortible and has no tears or fading. The quality is top notch but I dont know if mine was made in a different era of the company or not. Dark Grey that came with head/lumbar pillow(i use my own pillow for upright support). Assembly is somwhat challenging (esp. if you have 1 arm and leg like me XD) but once its assembled, laying down all the way back spinning around was such an amazing feeling.

The 2022 Titan SecretLab chair XL did solve my back problem. The fine adjustment to the recline is important to for me and almost no 200-300 chairs have that feature that will support my weight. My only complaint is that the hard seat has broken down and my butt hurts after just few hours. Looking at seat pads now... but for $500 it shouldn't do that. The pillow does not fall at all for me. The problem is I HAD to get XL to support my weight, so its a little bit tall, not bad though. The PU leather is holding up VERY well and I tend to be rough on seating surfaces in the past. I just need better foam in the seat and it would be perfect for me.

It really is my luck that a few months after I order my SL Omega chair, they release their new editions lol. I got mine in December and am thinking of upgrading when I get the money saved just for that built in lumbar. The pillow does fine, it's just as soft and comfy as the headrest, but after sitting in my brother in laws Titan, I need that built in lumbar

My back pain stopped when I got off of my fat arse and started working out. Now I can sit in any chair for extended periods. I also went to school back in the days when the chairs when ergonomics weren't even a thing and I don't remember any of us falling paralyzed onto the floor.

have you also try fantasylab chair as well? are these any better? just curious about your opinion

I've had a Secretlab 2020 Omega chair with the softweave fabric since Nov of 2020 and it has been really good. I like the fact that the seat cushion is really firm and find it comfortable. I even bought my dad one of the chairs for his birthday recently But I do wish that my armrests pads were either the Titan's magnetic type or the updated Omega ones that can be removed by undoing a screw and popping the pad off. One of my armrests had become very loose and just recently it actually came off the upright support. The pad and mechanism were secured to the plastic portion of upright by four screws and the heads are underneath the pad. Unfortunately, the armrest pad I have appears to be bonded to the mechanism and there is no apparent access to the heads of the screws to reattach the armrest. I am currently in contact with Secretlab to see what I and they will do about it. I suspect it will mean replacement of the entire arm, less the mounting plate to the bottom of the chair.

I got the Arozzi Primo Woven Fabric gaming chair. Arozzi Primo also have built in lumbar support. And it's built very similar to secret lab's Titan 2020 model. Arozzi is a Swedish company and I believe Secret lab is a Singapore company. But a good office chair has more settings and better ergonomy. So truth is that even secret lab and Arozzi can not compare to good office chairs. But they are closer.

Should I get this or the Ergo Chair 2?

So I’ve been in a $150 GT racing chair and I’m starting to feel the bars through the seat and I use a little pillow for my back so I definitely need lumbar support so I’ve been looking at the evo

im a driver and im used to firmer seats. i firt bought a "cheapish" "gming" chair start of 22. But that thing was shit. Already broke basically everything on that thing. Ok the stuff got replaced no questions asked. But pretty shortly after the first break i found secretlabs and also found out that they made chairs for E sports. Which means they have a high standard and after a little search i bought one. I gone deep and bought a themed and licenced one yes. But tbh. I say its totally worth it. I recently ordered another one for my sister since she works from home and so far hasnt had a good chair. She also doesnt earn much because of here medical conditions and chronic pains. i hope this chair helps her and also looks good ^^. i think the titan chairs are nice and for their price they deliver.

Perhaps it was already stated in the comments, but the point of the hot swappable arm rests are not just for easy replacement, but for easy upgrade to new premium arm rests that are on the Secretlab site. I wonder how long until after market additions such as a cup holder will take advantage of that feature? Maybe it already has happened? Or modding more easily to reskin the upholstery tom something even more customized. Or to hot swap to restraint hardware when you want your person in question to be restrained in comfort and style. The possibilities are limited only to your imagination.

Good review!

I've owned a 2022 SoftWeave one for a few months now. Didn't want to spend the money for a proper office chair nor did I want to buy something low quality. I think this chair strikes a good compromise. I plan on sticking with it for another 5-7 years assuming it holds up. The chair has a lot of gimmicks as pointed out in the video, the whole magnet thing is entirely pointless. Also, I use the cushion as lumbar pillow, and no it's not magnetized at that level but it makes the chair more comfortable for me. A lot of users have complained about squeaking and creaking. No sounds here but I'm a light dude so who knows. The chair is also very stiff, I personally don't mind that but some may find that bothersome. My main issue is the racing-seat design with sides that aren't comfortable to lean on. Overall, I also recommend getting the previous model since the price point is the main reason for buying this chair and not opting for an office or used office chair instead.

That is easy to solve With the plush cell memory foam Armrests But These chairs should come with them from the get go For the price that you are paying. The other thing is that the seat is a bit on the hard side. Would be nice if they could make it just a little softer.

I believe that's intended. I was at shop last week browsing Herman Millers, and they too have this slight tilt. I was told it's to protect the chair from wear and tear, apparently locking it so it's completely rigid wears them out superfast. I assume Secret Labs has the extra leeway for the same reason.

Love "the kramer" painting in the background. Lol

This is the best chair I've ever had. This chair supports your back like no other. I work remotely from home and have had back problems for years but since switching to this chair, my back feels so much better. It's so firm yet so comfortable. I love it.

I have a Noblechairs Epic bought in 2019 and the seat is STILL too hard and worse since pinched my sciatic nerver all the way down my thigh. Softer would be a welcomed change. That said, is the Evo any softer than what I have?

Can anyone advise on a way to sort out the ridiculous backrest hardness? I considered the "skins" but they don't look thick enough to actually significantly add cushioning. I have the original Titan. The lumbar pillow doesn't stay in a useful place because it has no way of attaching it. Didn't even come with the chair, I had to get one from the Omega. The adjustable lumbar support is literally a torture device. Does nothing good. Just makes it hurt more. The seat cushion is firm but I got used to it. The backrest on the other hand is horrifying. It's like leaning on a wooden plank coated in leather. What I need is a cushion for the backrest. I've tried putting various chair cushions up against it but they're awkwardly shaped and I can't really keep them in place. Is there any product out there which is more suitable? Something like a plain rectangular slab of padding I could somehow strap onto the backrest of the chair? I've been looking but didn't find anything. I found myself wondering if I could use a "skin" to force some kind of cushioning pad to stay in place against the backrest but something tells me it wouldn't be easy, plus I don't know where to get the cushioning pad. WHY THE HELL are Secretlabs not selling a full height backrest cushion!?

I like my 2020 Titan but the seams on the seat pan near your knee split after just 3 years and I've gone through 2 sets of arms rests already...they have a tendency to split along the edges.

@violetkalico

Жыл бұрын

Napa leather is shit and it’s double the price don’t

I've been using a 2020 Titan XL since it launched and honestly I wouldn't recommend it. The non-height adjustable lumbar is not in the right place for me so it's useless. In addition to that, there's hardly any cushioning to the back, so it feels like I'm just sitting my back up against a board. The seat cushion broke in enough over time as to not be overly uncomfortable, but at this point I wouldn't buy another Secretlab chair until they improve the padding dramatically.

I have a 2020 version, that i have been using since mid-ish 2022. Pros: I am a very large person (6’6 and 240lb) so I tend to wear down the hydraulic thing pretty fast, so having one made specifically for someone like me is very nice, although it does cost a bit more. Soft weave is much nicer than all the “fake” leather materials I have tried. A lot more customizable than other budget chairs I’ve used. Cons: Price of course, I bought mine on sale and the price was still twice that of the second most expensive one. Very heavy, so when I just moved last month it was a pain to deal with lol. Overall I would say it has been worth it for me, as I can easily see myself still using this chair in 3-5 years, so by then I would have probably paid the same for that one chair as I would have buying 3 chairs in total over the secret labs chairs lifespan.

Don't see any links in the description for alternative chairs like you mentioned in the video.

I've been eyeing the Secretab Titan for those magnetic arm rests because I burn through arm rests. I have a habit of, well, resting my arms on them, and I prefer padded arm rests. This also means that the covering on the arm rests on every chair I've owned has developed cracks and the padding compressed. Solid arm rests don't have that problem, but they're uncomfortable.

Gaming chairs are a complete waste of money and it's no surprise at all why people buy it, because 99% of ppl have never used high end office chairs long term. It's easy to rebuke high end office chairs because of their non-gamer aesthetics and high price, but unlike racing seats those chairs are designed by ergonomic experts. I used to think Herman Miller chairs were overpriced and gimmicky, that was until I sat in the Mirra 2 and I learned just how wrong I was.

Avoid. Seat is incredibly firm (even 4 months later, my arse hurts in it), it squeeks and creeks excessively. They are aware of this and will send you a barrier kit to stop the noise, but will only do this when you complain of the noise after you've already brought it. The arm rests shake and are incredibly loose as demonstrated here. The lumbar support is crap. It's very difficult to get it right because of the shape of the chair and when you do it's just really hard and uncomfortable. Quality control us crap. Other than the noise issue that they don't tell you about and send you a barrier kit when you complain about it, I've had two of those, a replacement backrest and a replacement recline mechanism. As I've already brought the thing and can't get a refund (because they refuse unless you're able to box it up and send it back to them first, which I can't as I got rig of the huge box) I'm invested so I need to by there lumbar pillow pro, which guess what, are made for these chairs as they know the built in lumbar support is crap, hard and uncomfortable.
