"It's just a piece of plastic". I don't think you need to flatter a piece of plastic for lumber support. Even if it accidentally work for you, it's still just bad. It looks like a $100 chair.

love your review!! these are the 2 chairs i was comparing and I have to say secretlab takes the win on this one especially innovating what gaming chairs are all about which I'll go for. Im all in for a mesh chair (esp Aeron being way too expensive), and seeing Dxracer doing mesh got me excited but I wish they toned down on the plastic which deteriorated the comfort level

[@toddw6716]

That chair sucks, it’s like sitting on concrete

[@quiqxi5140]

@@toddw6716 which chair

[@tomino15Lab]

DXRacer released an Air Pro variant. Idk what are all the changes, but they add a magnetic lumbar pillow. I picked up this chair because I wanted to try out a mesh chair and this chair was at ma local retailer for 350€, which i instantly bought. IT IS AMAZING. I am 180 cm (5'9") and 74kg (164 lbs) and I think I am the ideal size. My legs never hit the side plastic, the mesh feels incredible. The issue with that bottom plastic row that you said is a deal-breaker is fixed on this model with the pillow, as the pillow forces you to sit a bit more further and you naturally do not come into contact with the plastic frame. The recline and rocking is amazing. Armrests - amazing. I never sit crouched - I always sit the proper way - that means the fact that the chair enforces a proper sitting position on you is a non-issue for me. I took couple of days for me to get used to the new angles, but now I really feel like i am sitting in a healthy position and I reap all the benefits of gaming chair (the recline and armrests) + the mesh. It was 32 C outside and I felt incredible.

[@FatihAtesTR]

Hi, i'm looking to buy for pro version but there is no review or any info about this pro models. I'm 180 cm and 80kg. What are your 1 month thoughts? Are you still happy with your purchase? Any issues with those plastics?

[@anamora9462]

Man I love your reviews, Ive been considering a titan 2022 and I see a lot of comments everywhere about how gaming chairs are a waste of money but for me the issue with office chairs is they're either super cheap, bad and ugly or super expensive and with some rare exceptions, still ugly. There seems to be almost no options for good office chairs in the price range of a titan 2022, which is worse here in Mexico, yes I'd love to buy a HM but im not paying four or five times as much as a titan, also given the fact only the most expensive executive chairs have headrest it makes it difficult to understand the logic of picking an office chair over a titan 2022

I have a 2022 EVO Titan with the Hybrid Leatherette and i love it.. i work from home Mon-Fri 830am-530pm and then regularly game or watch Netflix in the chair after work and have no back pain. The noise I experienced was a squeak from the leatherette of the buttrest and backrest rubbing together which i fixed by sliding a paper card between them (a lubricant probably would've done the same thing). I literally sit in this thing over 50 hours a week and have never had backpain. The adjustability is second to none and the leatherette is easy to wipe pet hair off of compared to mesh chairs.

[@CC-uf8wi]

I snagged the Dark Knight edition of the Titan Evo 2022 after your review (I used the link I swear!). I have never felt so satisfied sitting down in a chair. It immediately feels high quality, and is so comfortable and adjustable. Only downside is I am a bit taller and the magnetic pillow tends to be problematic. If I move any bit in my chair and it causes my head to rise or sit lower than when I adjusted the pillow, it will move around a bunch behind me and kind of get in the way. If it had a slightly stronger magnet to hold it's place better, this issue would completely vanish. In terms of how big a problem it is though, I'd say it's a 2/10, barely a complaint.

[@Ahnestly]

Oh I didn't really think of that. I didn't use mine super aggressively but I'm also probably shorter haha.

As a 6"4 guy, I really struggle with ergonomically sound gaming chairs. The raising lumbar support feature might be a bit of a gamechanger for me. Definitely considering an upgrade in the next couple of months. I love mesh chairs, but the DXRacer Air will be a little small for me, so I'll probably go for the Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022 (large).

[@onomono1999]

I discovered your channel three years ago thanks to this video after I had bought DXRacer Air. Now I ordered an HM Embody which I have just learned that it is your favorite chair! I am so excited. DXRacer Air is way more comfortable than the way it looks but it is just cheaply made. The most annoying thing is the hard plastics all around the chair. Also, the mesh is tough but I don't have many issues with it honestly. I was so torn between Aeron and Embody and tried both so many times at the local store but went with Embody since I felt like it is so much more flexible than Aeron and I preferred every aspect of it except lumbar support compared to Aeron. I also don't like that there are different sizes of Aeron, C size was okay for me but still, those plastics may bother me one day (not as much as DXRacer Air for sure though haha). Anyway, thank you for your awesome videos and keep up the good work, you are literally the best reviewer I have ever seen on KZbin.

That’s some high praise! I really appreciate that!!! I hope the embody works out. I still love all of mine (I have 4 now LOL…)

You do the best job in the biz in these videos. Why I'm going to order a Titan EVO 2022 with the Softweave in Small: - I'm 5'4" but I use a foot rest. - I'm a rebel. I move a lot and sometimes sit cross-legged or with both legs under me - The arms won't shift on me when I press down and enter those positions because they lock - The recline feature is a requirement - Back issues mean I need adjustable lumbar support - No fake leather that flakes off over time I'm going to add some large rollerblade wheels so it rolls better on carpet.

[@carlhornborg]

Want to start of by saying that I really like your content and appreciate the work you out into your videos! Then I have to correct you a little bit. The headrest on the DXRacer can't actually be moved to the higher positions since the bars coming out on the sides of the headrest are welded and thus can't move in and out. Was really disappointed when I discovered that.

[@Ahnestly]

Oh but can’t you adjust how high the headrest sits in those bars? I swear I was able to adjust the height?

[@carlhornborg]

@@Ahnestly you can adjust the height by pulling the headrest up and down, just like you say in the video. But you can't move the whole headrest package and use the upper screw holes. The metal arms that grabs the screws aren't flexible enought. No idea what the unused screw holes are for.

[@Dawelio]

This is the second video of yours that I watch. I don't know if you are looking at a script on a monitor or not, but you seem extremely confident infront of the camera. Sure you might have some bumps here and there, but everyone does. What you don't do though, is stutter and say "ehm", "oh", "and umm..." etc. Really nice overall, confident, extremely informative, clear communication, clearly showing an example of what you mean and what you're talking about. Really nice overall. Now I don't have anything to critize about your video, but 2 things I noticed about this video: First is regarding the arm rest, it's not a big thing, seeing as many can miss one or two things, but seeing as it was an bigger innovation from their previous chairs, I think it's worth some extra digging. Where the reason for the arm rest being magnetic is because Secret Labs has different materials for it. You can purchase an more luxurious arm rest seperately if so wish. Secondly, which is something I have only ever seen in one chair review on KZbin before and that I don't understand why no one ever mentions it, seeing as it's to do with your posture in the chair, more specifically your legs. It's the seats angle. I tried the NobleChairs HERO previously and the seat was titled in such a way that it felt almost like I was sitting in a potty, like when you were young. Your ass gets low and your legs gets high, so they are in a 80 degree angle almost and over the long run, you'll get fatigue on the backside of your thigh. Not pleasant at all, especially considering the price tags of these chairs. I wish they would implement a feature where you could use a lever to adjust the angle and tilt the seat itself, independently a bit. Other than that, great review and video overall. Keep up the good work! :)

[@Ahnestly]

This must have taken a long time to write. I appreciate you writing such a thoughtful comment. If I feel something off with the chair, I'll def recommend it. Only one chair in the business that's not an Aeron has the seat tilt and it's the sidiz chairs.

[@beet111]

i still feel like the Herman Miller Embody has been the only one to prove itself with age. many of these "gaming chairs" get so uncomfortable after a year or two. herman miller costs more because they are proven to be great chairs even 10 years of usage.

My definition of gaming chair is it has to be able to lean back and lock in place. Closest best gaming chair is secret lab neue. If they fixed the mesh, I would crown it the king if hybrids. Right not, it’s like the prince of hybrids

@@Ahnestly That's an interesting definition for a gaming chair. I haven't literally ever needed a function to lock my chair to back position when I'm gaming nor working on my chair. I couldn't do that with my old 100% gaming chair AKRacing Premium V2 or with my current Herman Miller Embody.

[@TommiContursi]

@@ClanBez Oh, sorry, now I got what he meant with leaning and locking it. I guess he means the same as tilting the backrest and locking that.

I spend about 60% of my time gaming and relaxing, and 40% doing work at my desk, possibly up to 10 hours in a day. Looking at the features of the titan evo it seems a good choice but reviews in comment sections and a lot on Reddit complain about bad quality and stiffness. I saw you were still replying to some comments and was wondering if you could help and if a the secret lab chair is a good investment and worth the £400 for someone’s first time spending anything more than £100 on a chair 😂.

Late to the party, really enjoy your comparison and review videos. When I moved in 2020 I ended up buying some generic, no brand, gaming chair just because I needed something quickly as I got set up. But it’s never been comfortable and if not for a Purple seat cushion I wouldn’t even be able to use it. So I’m looking to replace. Anyway my questions are: Now that it’s been 7 months since you made this, how would you say the Titan Evo is holding up? Also, at 6’ and a portly 224 pounds, would the Regular be okay? The seat depth of the XL gives me concerns about long term comfort. Thanks and thanks for all the great content. Subscribed!

[@Ahnestly]

Hi! So I just did a sizing guide of the XL with some ladies (you should see it Friday) and it really comes down to your leg length. I had a 5'6 girl who couldn't touch the floor with any chair, and then a 5'3 girl who was almost feet flat on the Regular sized chair. The most interesting finding of all though, is that the XL had NOTICEABLY softer cushion out of all the chairs and most of the girls picked up on that. If you need real dimensions, the seat depth is 20.25" on the XL, and height off the ground is 18". the 5'10 girl had her feet flat on all 3 chairs, and her in-seam length is 31 inches. If you find yourself concerned about where your feet terminate, you can get a footrest. It really helped those who felt the seat touching the back of their legs! Hope this helps!

Really nice review here. I'm actually contemplating with both of these chairs as well. May I know if the secret lab one feels warm after sitting for a prolonged period? I'm living in SEA and it's hot and humid almost 24/7, the chair will not be in any air conditioned space for 99% of the time and I was wondering if I would feel warm after using it. I know the all mesh dkracer would be the logical choice but aesthetically I'd prefer the secret lab ones hands down. Hoping to hear a reply from you!

[@Ahnestly]

Hey so the fabric one does do a better job at dispersing heat, but with any fabric chair, it's still going to retain some heat. Mesh is just on another level. I will say the titan evo 2022 has been the overall preferred chair when my friends come over to test both chairs!

Hey man I really respect the effort you put into these videos. I'm looking into buying the Herman Miller Sayl gaming edition, what are your thoughts on the Sayl compared to the Titan Evo 2022? I appreciate your thoughts.

[@Ahnestly]

I don’t have a sayl, but get it and return it if you don’t like it and get the evo 2022 instead. Might be the best bet bc hm does free returns whereas sl does not! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links! Really appreciate it!

[@BJJPANDA]

I'll give you my short story, this year I decided to look for the perfect chair, prove razer izkur, after 4 hours my back was bothering me, buttocks asleep. logitech embody, I never got the comfort that it should offer me for its technology and price. secretlabs titan, it took me a bit to adapt because the seat was not as comfortable as my old DXracer Titan Series. I was really very disappointed in the chairs and did not continue testing because the return process is very exhausting.

[@swenyx_xd]

Bro you just baited me with this review to buy The SecretLab Titan Evo, I was about to buy Dxracer for 300$ but ended up buying this. Its just looks so good detailed, hope it will be really comfy for at least 3 years. Good review btw.

[@hueyt224]

As excellent as this review was for both chairs, I'm still at a stand still for my next chair. Secret Lab are one of the very few who actually cater to my hieght (5'3) while most others says "up to 6'2" in their description. Which usually means if you're under 5'7, you're out of luck. But the Titan racing style looks unattractive and uncomfortable. And I can't test it out. Several office mesh chairs along with the Mavix and now this new DX racing chair looks like exactly what i want, but they seem to be one size fits all which means, 5'7 or above. Still sticking to my folding chair until something worth their price tag comes along.

[@Ahnestly]

Recommend you check out the neue if you’re 160lbs or less! I reviewed that chair as well :)

[@applepieclub5012]

I’m 5’3”, as well. I, very recently, bought the titan evo 2022. The overall build is excellent. The seat is definitely is not soft and takes some getting used to. I’m still trying to find the optimal position but it’s been less than a month.

[@TrojanSalesmen1]

That lumbar thing on the EVO 2022 is really selling me on it. even though its like 540$... I am sure its better than my chair now with a half-broken back. lol

[@Volker_A4]

Dx Racer is definitely Teal. As a lover of cyan I always notice.

[@Ahnestly]

Lol love it

[@Stockfish1511]

I think this chairs are pretty individual thing to pick. I bought many chairs before including titan. But for me as a 203 cm tall and jacked dude i finally found my chair when i bought Dx racer tank series. Just perfect suit for me. I think this chairs are as individual as it gets.

Thank for your comment i have 195 cm and 110 kg i thing its be perfect for me.

Thoughts on selling my 10 year old Aeron with headrest to buy the new Titian and hopefully keep the profits?

[@Ahnestly]

That’s a tough one man. You could make a lot more from that aeron bc it’s within warranty but if you regret your choice, you’re going to have a hard time finding another aeron within warranty. You may want to try out a new titan first, but keep in mind SL doesn’t offer free returns

[@garrettgarcia9941]

Update: I was wrong, Aeron was made in 1997 lol. Still going strong! However, I may test the Facebook marketplace waters and see what I can get.Thanks for the response!

[@thiagovieiraart]

you should review everything! your reviews are so good

[@shamyao]

Great video as always! Just a quick question on the seat for the DXRacer - you spoke a lot about the sitting and legs up on the seat but how soft is the seat itself? Is it similar mesh feel like the aeron or at least softer than the Secret Lab? Thanks!

[@Ahnestly]

No way. The dxracer mesh hurts haha. It’s not high quality mesh, but most important quality about mesh is tautness that won’t sag and this feels like it’ll be a while before it does that!

[@shamyao]

[@Misc_Anthony]

I just watched this review and I watched your Embody review as I am trying to lock in a replacement chair for the one I purchased at Costco like 10yrs ago. I keep leaning toward the Titan 2022 model because of the excellent lumbar support but I have friends who are trying to push me over to the Embody which looks great but the $1800+ is absurd to me... I mean its just a chair. It's not going to cook me a meal, or clean my clothes or anything like that so I am not sure how they can justify the price, but before I make a decision I am going to stop at my local HM shop in NYC and plop my fat ass into one and see how it feels. I wish SecretLabs had some sort of retail presence so I could plop my fat ass into the TItan Evo 2022 and see how that feels and make a proper decision. I know that one is a "office" chair and one is a "gaming" chair, but if you had to compare the two how would you say the Titan holds up against the Embody? Are these any features on the Titan that are better than the Embody? Thanks!!!

[@Ahnestly]

I would say the Embody is in a league of its own. There is nothing out there like it. And you get 12 years of peace of mind (almost no questions asked warranty). If you CAN afford the Embody, I push everyone to it every time. That being said, I've gotten a lot of people telling me they love their Titan Evos. Biggest advantage evo has over the embody - much more surface area for support (both legs and back), tall back is better for taller people who want shoulder support. And can do full tilt back. Biggest advantage of Embody is incredible flexing to align to your body. Breathability. 12 year warranty. Hope this helps!

This video autoplayed after a assembly video and it was a such an informative review I wanted to tell you.

[@Ahnestly]

[@myvideosincognito]

TLDR … which chair do I buy?

[@Ahnestly]

My knees just suffered for over an hour and I spent 10 hours recording and editing. I think you can take 20 some minutes to watch :)

[@Jc50gt]

@11:49 Please, pretty please, reply to my comment. The way your legs were spread onto the raised edges of the Secretlab chair... 1. Do the raised edges hurt your hamstrings? Is it raised to the point where it would become uncomfortable or painful to your hamstrings if you place your legs like that for a extended period of time? 2. Does the lumbar system squeak when you adjust yourself in the chair. Secretlab is sending emails to people about noise coming from the newest models lumbar system and to contact them if you are experiencing noise/squeaks (2022 models). Any feedback would be so great, thanks!

[@Ahnestly]

Nope the raised parts don’t hurt but they might get annoying after a long time of sitting like that. And for me, no noise but I did get some at first. Just don’t put pressure on it when you adjust it per the manual and I think you’ll be ok. Ahnestly, it takes a lot of time to adjust that I don’t see why people keep adjusting it!

[@Jc50gt]

@@Ahnestly awesome, thank you for the reply! Gonna order one of these literally right now. That was my main concern (raised edges) because i am a bigger guy. Thanks again!

[@MOVIEKICKS]

Thank you for the reviews. Please let me know if you loosen the lumbar support all the way on the Titan Evo 2022 if you still feel it in your lumbar. I prefer to have the lumbar support flat and not bulging out since this interferes with diaphragmatic breathing. Thank you.

[@Ahnestly]

If you loosen it, it’s totally flat!

[@gregdennie5519]

First off, awesome review! Definitely helped put things in perspective and give almost all the answers to questions I had. I do have one though, on the secret lab, when you tilt it back, does it have a tilt lock to keep it locked in a tilt position? Thanks!

[@Ahnestly]

Hey Greg merry Christmas! So all racing car style gaming chairs have the ability to “lock” your tilt by simply letting go of the back tilt adjustor. You can also lock the chair in place if you unlock the back tilt on your chair, rock your chair back, and then lock the back tilt as well! Hope this helps!

it crazy one would think being surrounded by so much technologies in the automotive industry that they would just go electric with these chairs and the features they have, literally car seats for gaming.

Liked the review and the Fart factor was something to think about. I got the Leather version of the Secret labs before I saw your review and its replacing my old DX Racer chair that I am starting to feel the butt pain from the lack of padding in the seat (I had it for at least 6 years ). I skipped on the Cloth even though I liked some of the design's better was more thinking if I slopped some beans on my lap / chair it would stain the cloth.

[@Ahnestly]

Good call!

[@Ahnestly]

For sure

[@habedoudefiant3754]

Right now i have Marcus from IKEA, whit the mesh. The dxracer chair is similar. However it uses a lot of plastic, doesn't that deteriorate over a period like 5 years? Mostly plastic breaks after 5 years of usage.

[@SteveB4829]

How long does it take for that Secret Labs chair for the cushion support to bottom out? and how soon is it until u feel the metal on the back as well?

[@BrandonWorkman-vp1di]

What ever happened to DXRacer? I had a Drifting series back in 2019 -2021 and I loved it. I feel like when you don't think about your comfort while sitting in a chair or you're not constantly adjusting to get comfortable then you've got a good chair and that's what I remember about the DXRacer. I'm in the market for a new chair and I'm looking at the Andaseat Kiser 3, Vertagear SL3800 (cant find any good videos on these) and a DXRacer Craft series. The Secret Labs price tags are wild to me lol

[@Ahnestly]

Wish I could tell you about the vertagear, but I can say the Kaiser 3 is by far my favorite bc of the cushiness!
