Thanks for another great review. There is one thing I believe would improve a lot of reviews, but nobody does it. It would be great to actually show what is under the seat cushioning or inside the backrest. How do the seat supports look like and how they are designed. I know it is probably too much to ask, but it would be totally awesome if there was a review site/channel, which would actually disassemble the chair and let us have a look at what is inside, how does the cushioning look like, where are the pressure points, what foam materials are used, how does the lumbar support look under the cushioning etc.

[@iamcjayy7875]

CONGRATS ON BABY BRO wishing yall continued peace and blessings

[@Kelekona_808]

Okay, that neck rest pillow looks like it was designed to be branded as the Razer Scrotum. Feels like it would have made better sense on the Master Chief Chair.

[@DavidLongo22]

LMAO!!!

[@nasdaq15]

😂

[@audiojunkie5435]

I keep coming back to this review to remind myself it's a bad idea. Each time, I come back grateful that your review is unbiased and simply just honest. The amount of reviewers saying how awesome it is simply because they recorded it for free. One even credited 4D arm rests in a way suggesting it was Razer's idea :')... Also, I'm seeing a lot of reddit posts about the lumbar system being dodgy on multiple replacements for numerous people... it sounds like it'll be a nightmare for warranty in the long run =\. Update: I decided to try it. I'm 5ft 10 and 160 pounds with an athletic build. Wow. This thing was uncomfortable. The seat base is so small because the lumbar mechanism is placed so low you can't sit back far enough. They really should have made the base 1-2 inches longer. It felt like I was sitting in a toy chair, and that's not me being overly critical. You also can't rotate AT ALL, just as mentioned in this video. Although I couldn't feel the hard bottom when depressing my fist into it, it wasn't broken in but, for reference, the new secretlab (titan evo 2022) I bought is softer (springier if you like). The stitching design is awful and really scratchy. The only good point is, my lumbar is pretty pronounced and no chair (except for ergonomic chairs) fit it by about 1-2cm. The razer did fit my curve really well but the chair is just uncomfortable and small. I could only recommend an XL version for anyone of my height and build but £600 is an absolute con for the quality.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

There are so many fake reviewers on KZbin.

[@Liz4rdMan]

Thanks for the effort you put into this comment. I will listen to your advice. Do you recommend other alternative except Secretlab? They don't ship to my country.

[@danielclark920]

Congrats on the baby! Mine is almost 3 months already 😅

[@coolkevs2371]

keep it real man!! youre a life saver for most of us !!!

[@Crybaby-ym7vf]

dude im not even in the market for a new chair even though the fake leather on my 7 year old $650 chair is suddenly falling apart and i watched this whole thing. you deserve the views. i'll use ur link when i am looking.

[@S7tronic]

Great review, and congrats on the new family member. TBH I think gaming style chairs are an evolutionary cul-de-sac, they will never be as good with regards to the comfort and adjustability of a dedicated ergo chair.

[@Dadspicable]

Watching so you can get more than $33 from the video. Good stuff man, hope you expand to more things that you’re passionate about.

[@audiojunkie5435]

WHEN I FINALLY FIND A CHAIR YOU TELL ME "NO!". Why you gotta do me like that maynnn. Regardless, love your videos - SUBBED.

[@boy638]

The "race car" bucket seat form factor is never meant for an office chair.

[@Kelekona_808]

Congrats on Baby Ahn #3! Comfy chairs must be the secret to popping out cute babies.

[@Void4]

Will you be reviewing the AndaSeat Kaiser 4 chair soon? Thanks

[@CarsSimplified]

Great video! Even if it isn't a recommended item, just the look alone makes my current chair (some cheap brand that probably doesn't exist any more or renamed themselves) uncomfortable by comparison.

[@kirbyw9117]

Is the uncensored version on Patreon or OF?

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

Andaseat Kaiser 4 next?

[@kurtpope1463]

so i got the iskur v2, im 6ft 175lbs, while the bottom cushin is firm, ive not felt it bottom out at all for about 3 months now, maybe because i got the black leather? i did have a squeaking and popping issue with the lumbar support which i did an advance rma with razer to correct. i wish the bottom cushin was softer but its really not bad, im a big chair curler constantly criss cross and i have no problem with it at 6ft. im also a tradesman, so my body takes a beating, this chair fixxed my posture when gaming, got rid of alllllll of my back pain no lie after about a month, and it is still super comfortable through 6 hours + gaming sessions.

[@Ahnestly]

Hey! Thanks for your feedback! I had a friend come and test is and he confirmed the weird feeling (felt like a bulge in the place where you booty sits). Still love the lumbar, but not sure what’s going on with the seat!! Maybe it’s just mine?

[@kurtpope1463]

​@@Ahnestly I believe you! Maybe razers qc for the chair just isn't up to par, like I said, mine had that noisy lumbar support that a lot of other people don't have. Keep up the good work brother!

[@JackInDaBoxx]

The best racing chair for support is the ThunderX3 Core highly suggest you get one and review

[@azurebluegames]

Does Razer sell the headrest separately? 😆

[@spinalch]

I don't know who copied whose chair model, but the Thunder X3 Core Loft model is almost the same as this one, and looks better.

[@roxy_xcxc6869]

😅Razer for Bicycle seat have too !!😊

[@roadkill11000]

You might not make any money on this review, but it shows viewers you are not just a shill, and will be more likely to trust your review on the chair they do decide to buy. We appreciate the ahnesty.

[@Wiksila-co1fg]

Its weird that they still make firm racing seats why dont they just let us enjoy sitting around... damn i wish secretlabs would copy that pillow 🤩

[@Rikipaus]

and compared to V1 how it looks? i have V1, is this V2 for you better than V1?

[@Ahnestly]

I talked about it a bit. I think it’s a huge upgrade compared to the v1, but both v1 and v2 are just crazy expensive for what they are

[@pr11mus19]

We need xl versio and pls razer make pillow magnetic like secretlabs

[@maiz3558]

hi how is the anthros holding up? still your best chair?

[@Ahnestly]

Hey! Anthros is a top 3 chair for me!

[@maiz3558]

@@Ahnestly thanks for replying! what’s your current number 1?

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

​@@maiz3558Probably the Embody and the Fern (Digital Knit configuration).

[@weirdodude1173]

Awesome videos! Thumbs up.

[@Gonzora]

Those good old comments that say the video is great without having had time to finish it...

[@XASMATV.]

im not gonna lie, i can't trust this amount of money for Razer, and specially for my back. i gave this company 2 chances and both got me disappointed.

[@jiovannijiuseppe]

I just bought this chair and personally I love it, however life is subjective and I’ve straight up never had a nice chair in my life I.e. not a lot of data to back up my opinion A big selling point for razer IMO is it seems like it’s fraternal, like being a part of a club, it feels good every time I sit in this chair, like I’m on top of the world; huge confidence boost as odd as that sounds and i am serious He mentioned bottoming out; if this is truly an issue (idk if they do) but they should definitely offer upgrades in pieces ( the chair literally comes in like 3 pieces you stack on top of each other, super easy to assemble) being able to buy and interchange/upgrade each section would be a huge selling point for razer

[@nicolascooper2464]

hi nothing is better than the iskur v1! the v2 is good but...

[@Pustul]

This or the Asus ROG Destrier?

[@NyteStalker89]

Neither. Buy a chair from a chair specialist like Herman miller, hawthorn or even secret labs. Gaming companies over charge for subpar build construction

[@WASDcrazy]

Been using the chair iskur v1 for 6 months or so. Ruined my back to the shambles. If I sit in this chair for a few hrs I feel my lower spine is condensed and it hurts to the point of not being able to crouch. NEVER ever trusting razer again. Stick to the better chairs Ahnestly is reviewing. I just got a HM EMbody in and its the best investment of last 5 years.

[@Grainsauce]

Man what a disappointment, looks like they fixed the awful lumbar design from the last one, and instead of the seat being as hard as concrete they decided to soften it so that it bottoms out! Yikes for $650?

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

These gaming chairs are complete garbage, and there's no reason to ever waste money on them.

[@brentcox2961]

I hate when reviewers say "I bought this chair out of my own money fo review for you all!" Yeah, you did but you also did it hoping that your video will pop off and you will make the big bucks from it. Also, you are probably going to write it off as business expense at the end of the year so, no need to act like you're putting yourself out for us

[@Ahnestly]

here are just a couple thoughts for consideration… #1 - bro, I review CHAIRS. This ain’t the latest greatest apple product. How many chair videos you know pop off with views? I’d have to get 300k views to break even. #2 - anyone who’s done KZbin reviews will know that videos with positive reviews of a product will always bring in more views, more subs, and consequently more money. All My negative reviews get 2x more dislikes on average. So again, shooting myself in the foot if I wanted the video to pop off and for my channel to explode (see unbox therapy as exhibit A). #3 - of course it’ll be a business write off, but this isn’t Google or some massive firm. I’m a one man show, and spending $1k to save $100 doesn’t make sense at my level.

[@Pop-xi7ez]

Why all this hate ? You don’t have to watch, subscribe or buy. If you don’t like it, just skip it. From my side, those reviews help me a lot. This is a nightmare to chose a chair. There is so much reviews with sponsorship so you can’t make your opinion. So thank so much you Dan ! I love the design of this razer but you are right, it’s too expensive what it is..

[@alvarodiaz1604]

You must think there are big bucks in the chair review business lol don’t watch if you don’t like it.

[@brentcox2961]

Im just saying it's disingenuous to word it like "I bought this out of my own money for you guys" You did it for you. Im sure even if this video didnt break even, you are pulling in money from your KZbin channel through other videos, sponsorships, and subs/donations. People watch your videos because you are a good, thorough reviewer and provide a service butttt let's not act like you're running a Chair-ity ;)

[@NyteStalker89]

@@brentcox2961what’s disingenuous is you rolling up acting all high and mighty, acting like you know jack shit about his revenue and tax situations. Negative reviews, as you’ve already been schooled on don’t generate revenue and he isn’t breaking even, even after a “tax write off”. You seem like one of the dunces that thinks any channel with more than 1k subs is reaping in six or seven figures a year but has to use some big words to try and solidify your flawed outlook on a type of content and the verbiage used. It would be disingenuous NOT to disclose that the product was purchased and not sent by a company for free publicity, but you think what ever you want boo boo. It’s a free internet.
