"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.
Grabe sobrang ganda nito sana soon may mag sponsor nang ganito saakin on my youtube channel
How is the tilt for the secretlab titan evo? Does it require a lot of force to tilt? Im using IKEA's markus and i love the tilt. Would like one similar. Great in depth review btw! love it
I have to say, I have never seen a chair review anywhere that took the fart factor into account. Bravo, sir.
It's hella important! :)
Now I see why my seat is brown
DOO DOOOOOOO hahahaha
Well, it’s not called the ‘air’ mesh for nothing 😁
Interestingly enough, some airline seats have replaceable charcoal filters just for this reason. Especially given an airplane cabin typically will experience a pressure differential that can "encourage" the free flow of gases.
Did ahn just kneel down for almost the entirety of a 30 minute video? That's dedication
Thank you...someone who noticed. Ugh I need knee pads...not the young man I used to be.
@@Ahnestly I just bought an original embody. Please tell me I didn't fuck up
Embody is king. If you didn’t use my link, then yes, you effed up. Hahaha jk, using my link helps this channel, but if not, that’s cool too!
@@Ahnestly couldn't use your link because I'm in a different continent
I don’t want to hear your excuses! Lolol jk jk I appreciate you trying!! That means a lot!
I love the amount of detail you put into this. Helped tons
Thank you!! And you're very welcome!!
the energy and the way he really wants to inform us about his chairs made me subscribe. Please, keep doing what you are doing
Really appreciate the kind words!!
Really good review, the video was well planned and all concerns as a potential customer was more or less covered. The comparisons and the flow was great, smooth transitions and all
Thanks man! I appreciate it! I always write an outline and then wing it - I did public speaking for a long time and found the natural energy works better for me and I'm able to engage the audience better! For some reason, I always think this before I record lol ua-cam.com/video/vu2NK5REvWM/v-deo.html (not a huge fan of the man, but the energy always gets me!)
I really thought this channel had millions of subs, that's how good the video was. Amazing quality content, keep it up!
you should review everything! your reviews are so good
wow!! such a good review and so much detail you've covered about the gaming chairs.
really helpful for those who are a little bit nitpicky when buying something without watching/read some reviews first.
Homie magically got a haircut at 1:10 for the discount codes … love that you wore the same shirt and shorts for continuity, lol
Hahahahaha eagle eye over here. I explain it later in the video. The 1:10 was bc I forgot to mention something early.
No he was standing, he's only 5'6", don't be rude
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
That chair sucks, it’s like sitting on concrete
@@toddw6716 which chair
Your attitude, the review, amazing! Subscribed! 😄 just ordered the cookies and cream color titan 2022 in regular and this definitely made me glad about my purchase!
Thanks!!!! Really appreciate it!! Hope you enjoy!!
Good review, thanks for going thru all the features to help make an educated purchase.
Np! Please use my links if you decide to purchase as it helps this channel a lot!’
Bro! Thank you for such an amazing in depth review. The last chair I purchased for 130 literally snapped off its hinge and left my back crunchy over a period of a month. The Titan feels perfect for me and though a bit pricey it feels like the last chair I might purchase for a while. Plus I think once I look through the website completely I might find more reasons to commit. Thank you! And I think my back will thank you as well, I’ll post a 6 month update.
Sorry to hear about your chair and hopefully it works out well!!
Where's the 6 month update my man
I was able to place an order for a small Titan Evo 2022 not even 30 minutes before this video and can't wait for it to come in!
Mines extremely noisey
@@Rz4rect0r you had 14 days to return it lol
This was an excellent review as always. Thanks!
No problem! Hope the refrigeration business is treating you well ;-)
Sooo appreciate your videos man! thankyou
Thank you for the kind words!
My guy, superb review. Very clear and concise arguments and points. And you covered literally everything and more. Liked, subbed, and here's a comment for this bad ass review! Thanks a lot
Damn thank you for the super kind words and support!!!
@@Ahnestly it's the least I can do, man! I pre-ordered this chair (cookies & cream Softweave) back in July and just got my email confirmation so this video came at the perfect time 😎
You know, I never really thought about the whole passing gas aspect when evaluating my gaming chair. Bravo.
Thank you. Also, Greedo shot first :-p
Thanks for the review!
Dude I've been following you in regards to all my chairs I have bought from the Logitech G to the Hermon miller now, I just bought the secret labs black version 2022. Thanks bro keep going you deserve 1 million subs. I share your channel with all my friends and family.
Thank you!!! Are you the one who's getting all these Turkish comments to flood in??? Lol!
The magnetic head rest is definitely my favorite feature about the 2022 Titan.
Yes!! I have an omega from .. 2020 i think? And one of the things that bugs me is that the elastic band that holds the headrest cushion in place is getting loose. But other than that I've been loving my omega 😸
Hello! First time viewer. I just checked DXRacer's website and it seems that the DXRacer Air mesh chair is going to come in 3 different sizes (Small, Medium and XL )just like the Secretlabs chair. Just wanted to pass that along to other folks who might be curious and interested
Thanks!! I tried hitting the size button but nothing happened!
Are you sure? I just tried and didn't see any other sizes than "Up to 250 lbs, up to 6'2''"
Picking those color chairs was brilliant. Stands out big time on camera. 🥂🥂🤙😃
ONE OF THE BEST REVIEWS , you got a subscriber
THANK YOU!!!!
You came thru clutch bro, thanks for uploading early. I'll bag it this weekend and I'll be sure to use the link. Keep the great content flowing. 😊
Thank you!! And you’re welcome!
My Titam Evo XL has just been shipped. I ordered it a few weeks ago and im stoked. Its been a year that ive been doing research. Many of your reviews have helped me make my decision so thanks for all the hard work. The DX Racer to me is ugly as hell
Thanks for the kind words!!
what have you got. pu leather or softweave?
@@leomoon141 i got the pu leather. I liked the idea of the softweave and was looking at that for a while but i have three dogs and a cat. Too much animal fur to try and keep it clean. Hoping i don’t sweat too much.
@@Doctor0Who really? I had an issue with the back connector. It took a few emails and photos but they replaced the back no problem. I got it a few days ago but haven’t swapped it out yet. I know its going to be a struggle since putting it together was such a battle.
soo 1 year later. What do you think of the chair? Did i wear off? Is it what you expected?
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 UA-cam 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! :)
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.
Thanks for the amazing video!
Stuck between these two, I'm 6'2 and 154 lbs. I live in a relatively warm country. I also worry that the dxracer air armrests will tear overtime as they have on my current dxracer (and can't see them selling them seperatley). Where as secret lab have the magnetic replacements and a gel variant.
Hope you can help with recommendations😁.
Also open to other chairs in the same price range. But it will be used for gaming.
Most friends chose the titan evo 2022 when I informally test them at get togethers!! Check out my guide on which chair should you buy to see the alternatives I recommend in case you want a more traditional office chair! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links!!
@@Ahnestly thanks alot appreciate it, will try remember to use your link and let my friends know to use it too. Thanks again.
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).
Yeah don't go with the DXRacer. Check out my other video I did on sizing guide for the Titan evo 2022! I think a large is the right fit, but that video may give you some pointers. If you do decide to pick up, please remember me and consider using my link as it helps this channel a LOT!
@@Ahnestly I'll go check out your other video right now... I'll definitely purchase through your link if I do go ahead. Thanks for the great content! I've struggled to find decent chair reviews in the past, so it's good to find someone that goes into such depth, especially as someone with back issues.
@@JustS0meK1dd How is your experience with the chair? I'm 187 cm, 90 kg and I don't have many options here in Brazil, the only equivalent I found would be the Noblechair Hero, do you recommend it for someone like me? Or even DX AIR can help me, Brazil is an extremely hot country in the summer!
Go with Herman miller embody or another one. Tons of office chairs are far better then “gaming” chairs and it will benefit you for years
Love the review! Great job!
Thank you!!
This video autoplayed after a assembly video and it was a such an informative review I wanted to tell you.
Oh nice!! Thanks for the kind words!!
its a good thing those gaming chairs have those aggressive seat bolsters. Cant tell you how many times theyve prevented me being thrown from my chair when making flick shots
HAHA love it.
Sadly, I think the bolstering would get in the way of my flick shot.
The gas passing thing was hilariously informative. Idk about you guys but I do tend to pass gas pretty often whilst gaming 😅😂
Dude, you're gross...LOL jk!! My shame comments come from first hand experience....
recklesly lmao
This man is an expert in both chairs and fart science
Made my purchase because of this video! Thanks!
Subscribed for "the shame" ...
Such an honest bit of feedback and the dangers of fabric chairs 😄
Lolol yessss
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!
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!
Cool review, thanks. What kind of speaker is that on your desk?
kudos on the review dude, very nice and thorough. Although I do feel sorry for your knees
LOL yeah I got a little stool since then!!
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.
Oh but can’t you adjust how high the headrest sits in those bars? I swear I was able to adjust the height?
@@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.
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.
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!
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.
Thanks a lot for this review. I know what I'm gonna get.
Awesome!! Please consider using my links! Helps this channel a LOT!
I got this for my brother for Christmas. I'm excited!
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.
Oh I didn't really think of that. I didn't use mine super aggressively but I'm also probably shorter haha.
I would say return that and get the titan XL
@@Ahnestly I'm so okay and used to it now I kind of got a weird muscle memory to move it with my back. Zero effort like a real gamer tbh.
$400 for marketing and looks, no quality.
How tall are you?
That mint color is beautiful. Both chairs look gorgeous.
I want to see these compared to something like Steelcase, Staples Hyken, autonomous, and Razer.
I've tried all the Herman Miller chairs at their boujie showroom store and the only desk chairs I liked was the Cosm and Celle.
Their lounge chair Eames was absolutely the most comfortable for sleeping though lol.
Meanwhile my brother has a steelcase leap and it is amazingly comfortable.
Check out my other channel the blind guys. These chairs weren’t there but other gaming chairs were in blind tests that we did
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!
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! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my link as it helps this channel a LOT!!
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.
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?
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!
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! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my link! Helps this channel a LOT!
A mesh chair with cooling fans would be amazing
LOL that'd be crazy!
THanks for the info! Great video, the DX racer is way way to plasticy for my tastes, especially regarding the price and the more static way you have to sit. I'll go ahead and order the Secret Labs, mostly because my back requires a decent adjustable lumbar support.
Hey... so 7months later. How do you like it?
the mint green looks amazing
Loved the breathable mesh on the DXRacer but the overload of plastic is just too much. Too many comfortability concerns for something that expensive. If I’m going to drop that much on a chair, I want to be certain there will be no comfortability issues. Would be interesting to see Secret Labs make a mesh chair in the future!
They already do! It’s called the neue. Check out my review!
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!
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!
@@Ahnestly perfect thanks for the reply!
big thing it seems that you missed when talking about the arms is the height, looks like the DX RACER can go quite lower which could help a lot of people with shoulder/neck issues.
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.
Good call!
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
As someone that owns a 2022 EVO Titan, don't buy it. I'm currently returning mine it's noisy as can be and my back is killing me constantly.
@@KirballsKeys so sorry to hear that :/ I’ve had mine for two months now and I’m really happy with this chair, but yeah it’s a bit noisy sometimes and the first days the cushion was so hard I seriously considered returning it. Now it’s just perfect
@@KirballsKeys when you say noisy are you referring to the lumbar support? I've been doing a lot of research and if so, supposedly they've addressed this issue and to people with this concern they've been shipping parts to replace it.
Im thinking of buying a refurbished herman miller. Way cheaper and the quality should still be good.
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.
Sad is when you fell in love with the secret lab one, but you are from Chile and they don’t ship it here:((((((((((( that hurted so much. I loved the review, thank you so much
Thanks for the kind words!!!
I could forward it to you!
I'm about to buy a titan... Thanks for the detailed review and comparison,🙃👍

yeah i have one of those gaming chairs all work places have where i live and its just filled with crumbs and i have to completely unscrew it all just to get to it to clean it hopefully I'm able to get a secret lab chair soon
Thanks you for reviewing them!
I’ve always want to buy them, but I don’t really know how to chose.
Could anyone tell me which one to chose? I would love to get that Titan Evo 2022. I’m 6’0 and 220lbs. Thanks you.
My 6'1 friend said the regular was perfect for him. He's around 205lbs
@@Ahnestly thanks you so much!

I have a DXRacer racing series from 2019/2020 that I had for 2 to 3 years and I have been looking at the secretlabs chairs.
If you decide to pick up, please consider using my link!!
great review..... hell of helpful. i like this guy subscribed to help you out
woot woot! Love it and thank you for the kind words/support!!!
I love the desk. It’s sturdy, modern and would look great in my older home because of the beautiful wood floors.
Not sure if you meant to, but you're commenting on the wrong video :-) make sure you comment on the correct one so you don't get DQed!!
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.
Recommend you check out the neue if you’re 160lbs or less! I reviewed that chair as well :)
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.
Love the haircut!!
Great review, really helpful. I’ve just ordered a titan evo 22 which should be with me next week, can’t wait thanks again :)
DXRacer Air is my fav! Mine is in red :)
Its gonna be the Titan for me because I think the DX Racer looks redicilous and Im pretty sure that it will be first one to break at some point. It looks like a Toy for me with all this plastic. But they really seemed to nailed it with this Mesh. A Titan with the Mesh would be the dream I guess - maybe we gonna see that in 2023 ;)
2024
Got the old omega 2020 Batman model. Still holding up great. Secret lab is overall great.
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.
Remember that the DXRacer air mesh is recommended for people that is 180-200cm tall, so it will fit weird for people under 180cm
9:25 pure bliss mode? that looked like pure heart attack mode and pretty much put me off that chair on an instant lol
LOL it's always scary on the way down, but once you're there man...nothing like it
Great job!
Every upload is a must watch. Liked, commented, and always subscribed. Appreciate the great content as always :)
Thank you for the support!!!
Thoughts on selling my 10 year old Aeron with headrest to buy the new Titian and hopefully keep the profits?
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
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!
I can't believe I watched a guy review a chair for almost 30 minutes at 4am
Good. Do it again. #oneofus
Hi, how many centimeters high is it from the floor to the armrest? (DXRacer AIR) thank you very much, good review!
I just got a secret labs Titan Evo! The new magnetic arms can be switched with plush Memory Foam arms that are scheduled to release March 1st ‘23
There’s no shame whatsoever involved in passing gas! It’s actually an art, a sport if you will.
Keep passing gas gamers!
I love that. We're going to make that a hashtag. #keeppassinggas

It’s a way of life for some of us…😊
Been waiting for it to be an Olympic sport. I want to win gold so my family will be proud of me.
Dx Racer is definitely Teal.
As a lover of cyan I always notice.
Lol love it
Your review is 100%. Awesome Awesome detailed review. Thank you!
Thank you!!! Appreciate it!
@@Ahnestly May I know which size did you get? there is a Small, regular, XL. which is this?
It’s the regular. It’s a bit big for me but I got it for future reviews. Working with SL to get a smaller one to show folks which size is ideal
@@Ahnestly I see. okay, I am planing to get one soon. But should I get the XL solely because I would love to have more space on the seat area? Because would love to time to time change to cross leg sitting too!
The seat area is huge already!
My mans really decided to go get a fresh cut mid review 😂 instantly subbed, very genuine like who does that LMAO
LOL thanks!! Appreciate the sub!!!
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 so the aeron loses to the neue?
Secretlab is built different though. I've seen reviews of Secretlab being used for 2 years and the 'foam' material still holding up. The downside is the PU leather versions because it will peel especially on hotter countries.
@@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.
@@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. Yeah, it was possible to tilt the AKRacing backrest to 180-degree angle, but personally I used the whole backrest tilt very rarely. I mixed this to tilting the chair and locking it to tilted position. 😅
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 $1800+ is absurd to me... I mean its just a chair. It's not going to cook me a meal, or clean my clothes or anything like that so I am not sure how they can justify the price, but before I make a decision I am going to stop at my local HM shop in NYC and plop my fat ass into one and see how it feels. I wish SecretLabs had some sort of retail presence so I could plop my fat ass into the TItan Evo 2022 and see how that feels and make a proper decision. I know that one is a "office" chair and one is a "gaming" chair, but if you had to compare the two how would you say the Titan holds up against the Embody? Are these any features on the Titan that are better than the Embody? Thanks!!!
I would say the Embody is in a league of its own. There is nothing out there like it. And you get 12 years of peace of mind (almost no questions asked warranty). If you CAN afford the Embody, I push everyone to it every time. That being said, I've gotten a lot of people telling me they love their Titan Evos. Biggest advantage evo has over the embody - much more surface area for support (both legs and back), tall back is better for taller people who want shoulder support. And can do full tilt back. Biggest advantage of Embody is incredible flexing to align to your body. Breathability. 12 year warranty. Hope this helps! Whatever you decide to pick up, pleae consider using my links - really helps this channel a LOT!
I'm actually looking into a nice chair. This is a really good review and describes real world usage especially with the gas lol
That lumbar thing on the EVO 2022 is really selling me on it. even though its like 540$... I am sure its better than my chair now with a half-broken back. lol
That DXRacer chair looks very very cheap ^^
It does look a little gundam figurine like...
TLDR … which chair do I buy?
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 :)
Great video my man. Quick question about the secretlab though. What I'd the seat depth of the titan evo 2022?
I made a sizing guide video on the Titan evo 2022 - check it out!
Great Review!!!
I actually love the big side wings on my Omega, I love SecretLab chairs.
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.
203cm = 6"6' for the non-metric viewers
Outside of gaming, maybe the plastic sides of the DXracer would be supportive to your arms for hours of knitting or other up-close activities...just saying!
I'm getting my Secretlab chair this weekend and I am so glad this video popped up on my recommendation. I'll take note not to fart while sitting on it LMAOOOOOOO aside from that, really love how you talk about each part, I didn't know about the flat legs, I love putting my heels on it lol can't wait to experience this awesome chair myself.
Yeah always tilt to the side and let'errip!!
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. Wish me luck and thanks for the great review. Use the link, folks.
Nice!!!
what do you think after one year?
@@Aeruza I returned it because it was far too stiff and uncomfortable
@@ericfranke1637 how long did u used it?
which one are u using now?
I'm curious about your thoughts on the refreshed DXRacer Air Series Pro.
I just ordered the 2022 Titan Regular, I was slightly worried because weight was nearly the limit before it suggests going for the XL, but my height was no where near the recommendation for XL. I’m 5”8 210-215lbs, I just hope the chair doesn’t start creaking! (My current chair is a creak disaster). Thanks for your review
I think all chairs will start creaking eventually! I'm glad I could help!!
i need that dxracer headrest on my titan evo, time to frankenstein this thing. ;)
lollll
