Check out my Ultimate SecretLab Size Comparison Guide - ua-cam.com/video/wAyk7YE_BAk/v-deo.html I had 6 friends and myself sit in every SecretLab model to give you an idea of how different body types fit in each chair!
For a channel that may be considered "small", the quality, pacing, organisation, and general aesthetic of your videos is better than some channels that have over millions of subs. Good job dude!
Watched a few of your videos back to back now and damn man, you’re killing it! The aesthetics, the thorough info, the camera work, the editing: *chefs kiss* I’m grad school/work from home, sitting in a $25 plastic chair for 8-15 hours a day and my whole body hates me. Trying to figure out the magic I need to come by to purchase a chair like this (that I totally think is worth the money).
Totally agree with this review (and as always, good vid) I've had mine for months now, 2nd gen like the one reviewed, and still absolutely love it. I wanted the softweave but due to delivery time being so much longer back then, I got the pu leather. 2nd gen pu is supposedly a good bit thicker and more durable than 1st gen, time will tell. I'm 6'5" tall and it fits me great. Absolutely would recommend buying this chair.
Im sold! I was debating between the Cookies and Cream, but the all black design is just so nice. I used your affiliate link :) Thanks for the great review Franco!
I have been looking for a replacement chair for quite some time and had been looking at the SecretLabs Titan and the Softweave in particular. This video answered a lot of my questions and addressed my concerns. Immediately after watching it, I clicked on your affiliate link and ordered one!
Thanks Franco for recommending this for me, I just noticed the other video you talked about with the PU version you had the link to this and I missed it. I'll be ordering this for sure, thanks again! Subscribed!
Thank you for this review!! I am buying this today - because of your review and because you included info on the cats!! I have Savannah's and Bengals and they LOVE to tear up my current leather chair. I was very hesitant to spend the money just to have them destroy it. You including the info that they haven't seemed to be as attracted has given me the confidence to try it out and hopefully **crossing fingers** they don't claw it! My concerns were the same as your first review that these have waaaay too many logo's and such bright and weird (to me) designs. My only gripe is I need to buy the Titan when size wise I only need the Omega. However, the adjustable back support is a must for me and my 3 herniated discs. I am hoping that it still works ok being the larger chair.
I love the new neck pillow! I moved it directly behind my neck; much like you did. But, I mainly use it when I recline. As a teacher, my students love it when they see it while on video conference. And, going from being on my feet most of the day (when at school), to being seated for 6+ hours teaching remotely, I needed something with great lumbar support, which the Titan provides! My co-workers complain about lower-back pain often, and sorry/not sorry, but I cannot relate. I love my Deadmau5 edition! As expensive as it is, I have found it to be worth every penny! The build quality is by far the best I've seen on gaming chairs; all the rest look cheap & flimsy.
Thank you so much. I was looking for this chair for a while and hesitated to buy it because i didnt know if it will fit me. You and this video was so trustworthy i ordered it immediatly.
You failed to mention that it took you 15 to 20 minutes to put it together with help. You can clearely see that your cat did a lot of the work in the video.
Just bought the Titan SoftWeave® ( Canada ) after looking at many reviews like yours the conclusion is YES ! Thanks for your honest review ;) ( 1.80 m. 77 kg )
Thanks for the support! I'll continue to bring my opinions to UA-cam without the constant fabricated hype to sell more or get more views. Unless I'm genuinely hyped about something, haha.
I have the Black3 Titan. Its a very good chair. Makes you sit up straight and supports your back. Took me a week to get used to it vs. my slumping chair with no support. Very easy to assemble. Very solid. Very good quality.
I Watched your review of the older model PU version. I currently have another manufacturers gaming chair with PU leather, and everything you don't like about PU leather chairs is exactly what i have experienced. Hot, tears and cracks within two years etc... So I watched this review and it sounds like this is the chair that will meet all my requirements which seem to be the same as yours. I'm only 5'9" and about 150-155+ lbs, but I like a firm and roomy chair so I can position myself and my legs more freely like you do as well. (I'm constantly readjusting myself in the chair when I am sitting for long periods) and I liked that you showed just how spacious the chair is for doing that. This was a great review, and I'm definitely convinced now that the SoftWeave version is going to make me and my body much happier and cooler. Not to mention probably last a whole lot longer than PU leather does from constant use. Oh and the black on black and grey definitely looks a lot less gaudy than all that bling bling gold on the PU version. I love the look of this chair LOL! Thanks.
I really like your review on the chair. I got the exact same model around 3 weeks ago, and I totally agree with the things you've said. I haven't had any issues with it and I also find it extremely comfortable. The only difference is, I do actually have space between the top and the bottom portion of the chair which from a certain angle does look weird to me. Other than that, the only con that I could think of is the fact that the arm rests wiggle too much, even though they are locked in place, which makes it feel like they aren't sturdy enough. Regardless, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a "proper" chair that will most certainly last them a really long time (I cannot speak from experience in this case yet).
My boyfriend is a physical therapy aide and his birthday is this June. His office chair just gave up on him especially the armrests. They tore off 😭 I discovered this chair from a UA-camr that plays Mortal Kombat and he has the MK Titan chair. I was thinking of getting that for my bf because we both love playing MK, but they sold out. I am thought of getting him the Black PRIME™ 2.0 PU Leather Titan Chair since he's more than happy to just get a simple look, but I am sure to get this for his comfort. Thank you so much for the review on the chair! I'm so excited to get this for him 😊
Black Cubed! Also, I just bought one of these and the other chair I was looking at was the Herman Miller Aeron (mesh, madisonseating), but ultimately at 580ish for the chair and another 100 for a head rest, I opted for the Titan with a high back/headrest built in with a sale at 419. I get mine this Saturday depending on FedEx.
wow, had i known you would get some kickback from me ordering one, i would have used your link. i ordered mine 2 days ago...lol. Your review of your 2 year old chair is what sold me
@@RynoDinero I did go with softweave. I'm a big guy and sweat alot so leather was not an option for me. Very excited to get my chair. I says will ship around Feb 10,but hoping it comes sooner
Dude thanks for sitting cross legged in the chair lol I’ve been eyeing this EXACT chair with the black3 softweave. The one thing I was wondering about that no one seems to try is whether or not the seat was large enough for me to do so lol thanks man, you got a new sub for sure
@@kysierkevin oh man the chair is awesome! Every bit worth the tag for sure. Def in love with my titan especially since I can game for hours and my lower back n ass doesn’t feel a thing.
@@kysierkevin Sucks for the first 4-5 days, it's really tough on your butt and thighs. Then you realize your lower back pain you had for 15 years is gone. Then your butt hurts less and less from sitting on it. I'm exactly 1 week in and so glad I bought it, butt still hurts a bit but, at this point, I'm 99% certain it won't hurt at all in another week or so, either because it softens up or because my body is adjusting to it. Hope this helps if you didn't go for something else already.
What do you think of the tilt mechanism (clearly THE single most important function of any computer chair). I bought a GT racing chair and it blows. The tilt adjustment knob takes both hands and some channel lock plyers to move and there is no difference in chair function. I have to slam back into the chair to get it to budge and the bottom cushion slopes down in front always. It's going back and I'm in the market for a knee rocker mechanism gaming chair (feet stay flat on the ground when rocking. No pushing it upward with your feet or toes. How does it feel and how noticeable is the adjustment range and even Secretlab says nothing about the tilt nor show it's use in the video. Yeah I know they ALL recline but I need it for a security blanket, not a bed.
I bought the softweave and had terrible static problems. Every time I stood up, i'd have monitors turning off, and getting terrible shocks every time I touch something. I just bought titan 2022 in leather this time.
Thank you so much. I was about to order the Omega, but your review helped me decide on the better choice Titan. Great review, can't wait for mine to be delivered =)
Here are my first impressions of my 2020 Titan Softweave (First day of owning the chair) I have never really had a good chair as of the recent. I was previously using a very basic office chair that went flat and hurt my tailbone like crazy because I was sitting on the edge of the wood. It was super noisy and made my ass go numb after like 2 hours. The build quality of this chair is really damn good. Feels like it's gonna last forever. Assembly was super easy and it looks and feels premium. Okay, I knew it was going to be firm but *DAMN*, its pretty firm. To anyone looking to buy this chair, PLEASE make sure you get it sized correctly. I am 6'2 almost 6'3 245lbs and I got the Titan 2020 and it fits perfectly. Sitting in it at first was really surprising, it's like sitting on a firm car seat. I will use this chair to play, do schoolwork, and lounge around with my feet up on my bed. It's recline feature is nice. The pillow is really good. Lumbar is okay. I've never had any lumbar in my chairs at home so it's a bit strange. Using it for an hour or so playing games on it I got more used to it. It's surprisingly firm but relatively comfortable for me. Because at first I was really bummed out at how firm the cushion is. With a the weeks I think this chair will get better. But as I've read in the past, I'd steer away from this chair if you are on the smaller side, as this chair if tailored to larger people such as myself. I'll be using this thing in college next year so having something comfortable to lounge in and use as a office chair is a must for me. As I'll be lofting my bed for extra space and I really don't want to climb a ladder to rest. Thoughts after using chair for 6 hours straight: For the first time using this chair, it's *OKAY* In my old chair, I sat horribly and slouched and sat with my legs out and my ass on the edge. This chair is really aimed for posture and designed for it. Sitting like a normal human being, it was fairly comfy for the first 4 hours. I kept trying to mess with the lumbar settings but I simply could not find a sweet spot while sitting normally. I know what good lumbar is like as my car has lumbar and when I use it it's very comfortable for me. But on this chair it's too low. I also feel that my lower back doesn't breathe well especially using the lumbar. Lower back got fairly hot. Not as bad as leather though. More like sitting in bed and getting your back hot. I found that the lumbar on a very very low setting worked the best, as the higher settings made my back hurt after a few minutes. Okay, the seat is very supportive of your back and such but the cusion caused me slight soreness after 5 hours. Predominantly in the tailbone. My thighs were fine and I'd have to say that the neck support I found was amazing. Lower back support is lackluster. And butt support is lacking. By the 6th hour I had to get up as my tailbone was getting sore a bit. I'd say that for me it was able to go 4 hours playing and at my desk in a regular posture. The 5th hour was a bit uncomfortable and the 6th included me shifting around quite a bit to get relief. 8 hours on this chair is doable for sure, it's just that you'd need breaks every once in a while. Getting up after a few hours and walking and such. Lounging however is a completely different story. Reclining both the seat and backrest or just one whilst propping your feet up on something with this chair is quite good. Comfy, especially with the pillow. Overall, this chair is not especially "amazing" to sit in. Sitting for a 2-4 hours is neither comfortable or horrible. It's *okay*. The firmness is quite noticeable overall and it took a toll on me. Considering I sit in my chair for 6-8 hours max, with 2-3 hours being the regular, it's fine. By the 6th hour it becomes a wooden stool and you'll definitely need a 30 min break or even just call it day after that. TLDR: Chair looks pretty well built good first impressions. Great lounger. Mediocre office chair. Lumbar is mediocre gonna invest in lumbar pillow. First day use of 6 hrs was fine until the 5th hour where the firmness caused light sorness. 6/10 overall comfort. 9/10 lounging. 8/10 build quality. Could've been 300 instead of 450. Not perfect by any means, as everyone has different bodies, hit or miss for many. *FIRST DAY REVIEW*
so glad I got the softweave. Now I just need to stop watching reviews while I wait for mine to be shipped. This video touched on literally everything I was worried about, and I'm confident I made the right choice. I'm a tiny bit worried it will be too firm, I welcome firmness on the backrest, but really hope the seat has enough cushion to be comfortable for hours.
Yup, most informative reviews ever. 👍🏼 I've been researching on which gaming chairs to get. You have helped the most on secret lab products. Thank you! Subscribing to your channel! Keep it up! 👍🏼 will be using your link when I order the chair!
Nice video! I have been using the PU Leather Titan for the past year. I haven't had it start to degrade yet, but it definitely gets hot. I'll have to look at softweave next time I have the budget.
Awesome video brother. Retired CSM looking for comfortable chair! I ordered the Titan XL last week in Stealth, but almost wish I would have opted now for the soft weave.
I have it. I was in the honeymoon phase for 3 weeks but I've realized that it's way too firm for me on the seat cushion. The back support is great, the neck pillow is amazing, but the seat cushion makes it too painful to sit for long periods. After 8 hours of work, I am knackered. Luckily I still have my old gaming chair so I can switch to it when it gets too painful. I'm looking into ways of fixing the cushion firmness, like maybe a memory foam pad.
Great review. How aggressive is the lumbar support when it is not ignited (all the way negative "-" vs all the way positive "+")? Where on the chair would one feel it? I prefer chairs that are straight and have less "lumbar support"(when not ignited) as the extra lumbar support on these chairs tends to make my back hurt. Hopefully that makes sense. Is this one of those chairs? Thanks again for the review.
Fun fact - the chair in Black3 version looks so much better in videos (including this one) than in the pictures on the official website. Am I the only one having this impression?
@Franco You can spray Scottchguard the chair or other type of sealer/protectorate to keep it from soaking up the sweat or other liquids. If you have couches its advisable for spraying them down also if you have pets. My wife's beautiful Shiba has been leaking a little and it would have helped there. Also my teens spill drinks frequently.
It’s almost strange hearing you be so positive on a product but I think that speaks for: a) the quality of said product, b) your honesty in your reviews. ATTN VENDORS: I want to see this guy review your products, send away!
6' -77kg The sales of Secret-Lab support service is so slow but very nice, I think it's because of the overwhelming sales, in 5 years they generated over 300 millions of sales. I've ordered the Titan Soft Weave, delivery is minimum 1 month. The big problem whit all chairs is that you can't try them before buying them and returns are a pain in the......! That's why wen you buy a Omega and should of bought a Titan or a Titan XL you are not satisfied. Thanks for your review.
Hi, I want to ask a question about this Titan. I'm currently using a gaming chair similar shape to this Titan, which is a rather "flat" bottom unlike other which has wings. But my "flat" bottom chair does not feel that 100% flat since I still feel the hard inside frame on my thighs. Does this also the same case with the Titan?
@@y0ungDuB it’s going strong. Use it for 8 plus hours a day, for both work and gaming with no regrets on the purchase. Also the Titan black weave, looks sensible enough to be a great edition for online business meetings.
Still have another month or so wait for mine! Glad to hear your thoughts on the Softweave, though, as that's what I ordered in XL. I really feel like "PU Leather" is a horrible way to market that stuff. It's nothing like real leather, and will always disintegrate over time. Even if you take good care of it, it's inevitable. It's just a cheap way to make something look more fancy than it is. Real leather would hold up with care, but still won't breathe.
Hello! Love the honesty. Have a quick question! How tall are you? And if you are fine with answering, biw much do you weigh? I'm trying to decide if I should get the Omega or the Titan. I'm 5'8" and 220lb
5’11” and 215. Go with the Titan. While you’re shorter than the recommended size, the Omega has aggressive flared sides on the seat. If you have wider hips, they will be uncomfortable. The seat height is not that different between the two, so your legs should still touch.
@@FracnoTV got it and all I can say is BEST CHAIR I HAVE EVER USED! but yeah I have the same issues with the memory foam pillow but it’s but a big deal I guess...
sooo debating on ordering one this week. It says it will be ready to ship out January 14th or earlier, is this true? And how long does it take to get delivered? Asking for late christmas present. Also great great review i loved it and thank you !!!
I love your videos and trust ONLY your reviews regarding anything ergonomics. I'm looking into purchasing myself a gaming chair, will you be looking into the "Razer Iskur" anytime soon? I just want to make sure I make the best purchase! Anyway, keep up the awesome vids! Thank you for your content!
I'd definitely like to try it if they are able to send me one. Buying multiple chairs is a bit expensive. Tweets and comments on their socials asking them to send me one will only help the cause!
This is making me really hopeful. I've been searching for a replacement chair for the past 3 years for a decent staples chair that the pu leather starting flaking off of, leaving bits around my apartment, as well as the cushion in the chair just dying after use for so long. I've been through 3 other chairs at this point, as it's hard for me to find good chairs for my height. This chair was recommended to me, and I finally caved to getting a "gaming chair". I'm waiting for it to show up, and looking at the reviews people give, I'm really hoping I find a chair able to properly support my back and head.
It looks nice. Is this Titan XL? If it’s not maybe u XL suits u since ur head seems to be above the chair’s top. Perhaps the pillow will be more comfortably placed to support ur neck &head
It’s the normal Titan, but I also have the XL. It’s a bit too tall for my short legs. I recently made a video with all sizes and different people trying them. Check it out!
This is the one I want. I saw a video of a guy complaining that it was too firm and made his hamstrings hurt, but he admitted the chair was way too big for him haha .. yea I think I'm going for this over the herman. Just can't get over it being used and probably 10 years old
3³ is cubed, Black Cubed. I'm ordering on for my 40th Birthday. I'm torn between the black soft weave and the PU. I'm not a cat person, that's a really cool looking cat.😎 What's your background material? It looks really cool!
Came across your channel looking for reviews on this SL chair along with that Spidey chair. Great work so thank you very much for them as they have really played a big factor in my decision. You've earned my sub! Question I do have is if you have come across the chair squeaking at all in the time you have had it/used it? I think thats really the only thing that I wanna know before I pull the trigger and buy one.
I don't have a lot of squeaking or noise with this chair, but it's not completely silent. I'll tell you what chair is absolutely loud as hell.... Herman Miller Embody x Logitech chair. This chair is a whisper compared to that one.
this and your previous review made me buy the 2020 cookies & cream titan! Im really small and dont weigh much but I didnt get the omega because I dont like the lumbar pillow or the sides which are raised, because I like to move around a lot on my chair and for it to feel more like an armchair. I like firm so should be good hopefully!
Would love to see you review an LF Gaming Stealth chair 💺, as I own the older version Secretlabs Titan and I find it a little too firm which seems to be bad for circulation.
I've emailed them but got no response. If you use social media, tag them and let them know that you'd like to see a review of their chair on my channel!
I want a Titan XL pretty darn bad. Solid review on both the new and old versions. I just gotta get over the price tag. Not sure if you mentioned or if I didn't catch it, but did the old or this new chair squeak or creak at all? Can't stand a creaky chair. Also, absolutely gorgeous cats. My wife and I have 5 cats but have always wanted a Bengal cat. Maybe someday lol.

just bought it with the black friday review going on! thanks for the review man
How much did you pay with the sale?
I appreciate the transparency of the channel. Nothing wrong with getting paid but never lose your integrity man!!
Never.
Totally agree with this review (and as always, good vid) I've had mine for months now, 2nd gen like the one reviewed, and still absolutely love it. I wanted the softweave but due to delivery time being so much longer back then, I got the pu leather. 2nd gen pu is supposedly a good bit thicker and more durable than 1st gen, time will tell. I'm 6'5" tall and it fits me great. Absolutely would recommend buying this chair.
dang that hoodie looks comfy
It's an Advanced.gg hoodie, but I don't know if they sell them anymore!

Also, I just bought one of these and the other chair I was looking at was the Herman Miller Aeron (mesh, madisonseating), but ultimately at 580ish for the chair and another 100 for a head rest, I opted for the Titan with a high back/headrest built in with a sale at 419. I get mine this Saturday depending on FedEx.
there it is, finally! Great video man, Keep it up!
wow, had i known you would get some kickback from me ordering one, i would have used your link. i ordered mine 2 days ago...lol. Your review of your 2 year old chair is what sold me
Did you go with softweave? I’m boutta pull the trigger too
@@RynoDinero I did go with softweave. I'm a big guy and sweat alot so leather was not an option for me. Very excited to get my chair. I says will ship around Feb 10,but hoping it comes sooner
@@marksaumure4849 me too lmao. What color did you go with. I’m torn between the black3 and charcoal blue lol
@@RynoDinero so was I but my friend just got the blue and I didn't wanna seem like I was copying him so went with black3
I just ordered mine around a week or so ago. I can't wait to get it because of how old and uncomfy my 16 year old office chair
Dude your cats fur pattern is dope!
Considering I currently have a wooden chair that is pretty much a dining chair with no cushioning I don't think firmness is an issue
Dude thanks for sitting cross legged in the chair lol I’ve been eyeing this EXACT chair with the black3 softweave. The one thing I was wondering about that no one seems to try is whether or not the seat was large enough for me to do so lol thanks man, you got a new sub for sure
which size of chair you had?
@@jean-lucbedard4757 i have the gtracing chair we got on amazon. fedex has an est delivery date of tomorrow dang i cant wait
@@TheRosanchez85 hows the chair mate?
@@kysierkevin oh man the chair is awesome! Every bit worth the tag for sure. Def in love with my titan especially since I can game for hours and my lower back n ass doesn’t feel a thing.
@@kysierkevin Sucks for the first 4-5 days, it's really tough on your butt and thighs. Then you realize your lower back pain you had for 15 years is gone. Then your butt hurts less and less from sitting on it. I'm exactly 1 week in and so glad I bought it, butt still hurts a bit but, at this point, I'm 99% certain it won't hurt at all in another week or so, either because it softens up or because my body is adjusting to it. Hope this helps if you didn't go for something else already.
What do you think of the tilt mechanism (clearly THE single most important function of any computer chair). I bought a GT racing chair and it blows. The tilt adjustment knob takes both hands and some channel lock plyers to move and there is no difference in chair function. I have to slam back into the chair to get it to budge and the bottom cushion slopes down in front always. It's going back and I'm in the market for a knee rocker mechanism gaming chair (feet stay flat on the ground when rocking. No pushing it upward with your feet or toes. How does it feel and how noticeable is the adjustment range and even Secretlab says nothing about the tilt nor show it's use in the video. Yeah I know they ALL recline but I need it for a security blanket, not a bed.
I bought the softweave and had terrible static problems. Every time I stood up, i'd have monitors turning off, and getting terrible shocks every time I touch something. I just bought titan 2022 in leather this time.
Does this chair sit up straight, close to 90 degrees ? I don’t like leaning back unintentionally
Thank you so much. I was about to order the Omega, but your review helped me decide on the better choice Titan. Great review, can't wait for mine to be delivered =)
How tall are you? Are you enjoying your Titan? I am on the fence.
@@mike35424 im 6' and just love the chair. It is expensive, but excellent build quality. Also go for fabric as its great if its hot where you live.
Secret Lab Titan softweave is simply the best and I have one :)
Here are my first impressions of my 2020 Titan Softweave (First day of owning the chair)
I have never really had a good chair as of the recent. I was previously using a very basic office chair that went flat and hurt my tailbone like crazy because I was sitting on the edge of the wood. It was super noisy and made my ass go numb after like 2 hours.
The build quality of this chair is really damn good. Feels like it's gonna last forever. Assembly was super easy and it looks and feels premium.
Okay, I knew it was going to be firm but *DAMN*, its pretty firm. To anyone looking to buy this chair, PLEASE make sure you get it sized correctly. I am 6'2 almost 6'3 245lbs and I got the Titan 2020 and it fits perfectly. Sitting in it at first was really surprising, it's like sitting on a firm car seat. I will use this chair to play, do schoolwork, and lounge around with my feet up on my bed. It's recline feature is nice. The pillow is really good. Lumbar is okay. I've never had any lumbar in my chairs at home so it's a bit strange. Using it for an hour or so playing games on it I got more used to it. It's surprisingly firm but relatively comfortable for me. Because at first I was really bummed out at how firm the cushion is. With a the weeks I think this chair will get better. But as I've read in the past, I'd steer away from this chair if you are on the smaller side, as this chair if tailored to larger people such as myself.
I'll be using this thing in college next year so having something comfortable to lounge in and use as a office chair is a must for me. As I'll be lofting my bed for extra space and I really don't want to climb a ladder to rest.
Thoughts after using chair for 6 hours straight:
For the first time using this chair, it's *OKAY* In my old chair, I sat horribly and slouched and sat with my legs out and my ass on the edge. This chair is really aimed for posture and designed for it. Sitting like a normal human being, it was fairly comfy for the first 4 hours. I kept trying to mess with the lumbar settings but I simply could not find a sweet spot while sitting normally. I know what good lumbar is like as my car has lumbar and when I use it it's very comfortable for me. But on this chair it's too low. I also feel that my lower back doesn't breathe well especially using the lumbar. Lower back got fairly hot. Not as bad as leather though. More like sitting in bed and getting your back hot. I found that the lumbar on a very very low setting worked the best, as the higher settings made my back hurt after a few minutes.
Okay, the seat is very supportive of your back and such but the cusion caused me slight soreness after 5 hours. Predominantly in the tailbone. My thighs were fine and I'd have to say that the neck support I found was amazing. Lower back support is lackluster. And butt support is lacking. By the 6th hour I had to get up as my tailbone was getting sore a bit. I'd say that for me it was able to go 4 hours playing and at my desk in a regular posture. The 5th hour was a bit uncomfortable and the 6th included me shifting around quite a bit to get relief. 8 hours on this chair is doable for sure, it's just that you'd need breaks every once in a while. Getting up after a few hours and walking and such.
Lounging however is a completely different story. Reclining both the seat and backrest or just one whilst propping your feet up on something with this chair is quite good. Comfy, especially with the pillow.
Overall, this chair is not especially "amazing" to sit in. Sitting for a 2-4 hours is neither comfortable or horrible. It's *okay*. The firmness is quite noticeable overall and it took a toll on me. Considering I sit in my chair for 6-8 hours max, with 2-3 hours being the regular, it's fine. By the 6th hour it becomes a wooden stool and you'll definitely need a 30 min break or even just call it day after that.
TLDR: Chair looks pretty well built good first impressions. Great lounger. Mediocre office chair. Lumbar is mediocre gonna invest in lumbar pillow. First day use of 6 hrs was fine until the 5th hour where the firmness caused light sorness. 6/10 overall comfort. 9/10 lounging. 8/10 build quality. Could've been 300 instead of 450. Not perfect by any means, as everyone has different bodies, hit or miss for many. *FIRST DAY REVIEW*
Thanks for the detailed report. Hopefully it helps people get more info to make a decision with.
so glad I got the softweave. Now I just need to stop watching reviews while I wait for mine to be shipped. This video touched on literally everything I was worried about, and I'm confident I made the right choice. I'm a tiny bit worried it will be too firm, I welcome firmness on the backrest, but really hope the seat has enough cushion to be comfortable for hours.
It is firm but it breaks in over time. Just don’t expect to sink into it. I honestly love the chair.
Just ordered a black titan using your link mate. Figured a man in your profession knows whats ergonomically correct for me!
just unpacking my chair just now 😊
I got to say, the quality of this video is way higher than I expected of a 25k channel.
Hi, does the fabric get itchy? I tend to sit in shorts a lot and don't want it irritating my skin, thanks
Yup, most informative reviews ever. 👍🏼 I've been researching on which gaming chairs to get. You have helped the most on secret lab products. Thank you! Subscribing to your channel! Keep it up! 👍🏼 will be using your link when I order the chair!
Very kind words! Glad to help.
Nice video! I have been using the PU Leather Titan for the past year. I haven't had it start to degrade yet, but it definitely gets hot. I'll have to look at softweave next time I have the budget.
PU Leather was nice, but I'm Team Softweave 100% now.
I just ordered the pu leather cyberpunk one, hope it's good...
Awesome video brother. Retired CSM looking for comfortable chair! I ordered the Titan XL last week in Stealth, but almost wish I would have opted now for the soft weave.
Either version is a fantastic chair, I just personally prefer the SoftWeave. Either way, your ass will thank you!
Ordered the Omega 2020 Softweave. Looks like I'll get mine in January. Can't wait to ditch this walmart chair that has been slowly killing my back
I have it. I was in the honeymoon phase for 3 weeks but I've realized that it's way too firm for me on the seat cushion. The back support is great, the neck pillow is amazing, but the seat cushion makes it too painful to sit for long periods. After 8 hours of work, I am knackered. Luckily I still have my old gaming chair so I can switch to it when it gets too painful.
I'm looking into ways of fixing the cushion firmness, like maybe a memory foam pad.
@@phlogios For sure. Great back support is huge for me. I hope it's all around good for me!
Great review. How aggressive is the lumbar support when it is not ignited (all the way negative "-" vs all the way positive "+")? Where on the chair would one feel it? I prefer chairs that are straight and have less "lumbar support"(when not ignited) as the extra lumbar support on these chairs tends to make my back hurt. Hopefully that makes sense. Is this one of those chairs? Thanks again for the review.
When set to the lowest level, the lumbar support is unnoticeable.
bought softweave over pu based on this video. thanks for the honest comparison.
To take care of the spill problem spray the fabric with Scotchguard or something similar and that should take care of the problem.
Fun fact - the chair in Black3 version looks so much better in videos (including this one) than in the pictures on the official website. Am I the only one having this impression?
My high is 1.70. Do you recommend the Titan? I want to buy the Titan because of the Adjustable Lumbar Support that the Omega doesn't have.
I'd say you'd be fine at that height.
Did you order? How is it?
Black to the power of 3, or Black Cubed. Really good video!
Always great content my guy! The proper terminology would be black cubed, unsure if that is the companies intentions though.
@Franco You can spray Scottchguard the chair or other type of sealer/protectorate to keep it from soaking up the sweat or other liquids. If you have couches its advisable for spraying them down also if you have pets. My wife's beautiful Shiba has been leaking a little and it would have helped there. Also my teens spill drinks frequently.
I just got this chair, its the best chair ive ever owned! it helps my hip so much! not to firm at all just right
Hell yea! Congrats on having a comfy spot for your ass.
It’s almost strange hearing you be so positive on a product but I think that speaks for: a) the quality of said product, b) your honesty in your reviews. ATTN VENDORS: I want to see this guy review your products, send away!
♥️
It does feel weird being so positive. But it just be like that sometimes.
I had a Secretlab Black3 ad during this video 😂
Also mine is coming in 10 days! Can't wait
how is it?? does the size recommendation help?
Does it still come with a lumbar pillow or is the knob for adjustments good enough?
The Titan has the built in lumbar support with the knob. The omega has the pillow.
Great review!! Thanks!! I will buy this one!!!
6' -77kg
The sales of Secret-Lab support service is so slow but very nice, I think it's because of the overwhelming sales, in 5 years they generated
over 300 millions of sales. I've ordered the Titan Soft Weave, delivery is minimum 1 month. The big problem whit all chairs is that you can't
try them before buying them and returns are a pain in the......! That's why wen you buy a Omega and should of bought a Titan or a Titan XL you are not satisfied. Thanks for your review.
Hi, I want to ask a question about this Titan. I'm currently using a gaming chair similar shape to this Titan, which is a rather "flat" bottom unlike other which has wings. But my "flat" bottom chair does not feel that 100% flat since I still feel the hard inside frame on my thighs. Does this also the same case with the Titan?
I bought the Joker Omega, I prefer the shape of the base to the Titan.
Great review chap, purchase made. Thank you
What you think so far?
@@y0ungDuB it’s going strong. Use it for 8 plus hours a day, for both work and gaming with no regrets on the purchase. Also the Titan black weave, looks sensible enough to be a great edition for online business meetings.
just received it its an amazing chair
God tier video quality
Ordered a 2020 softweave cookies and cream about a month ago, so hopefully it will be here soon.
Ordering that one next week. Says for me ships by Dec 3rd
Nice! I wish their stock was more consistent. The constant pre order status is such a tease. Even this review unit took some time to get to me.
Still have another month or so wait for mine! Glad to hear your thoughts on the Softweave, though, as that's what I ordered in XL. I really feel like "PU Leather" is a horrible way to market that stuff. It's nothing like real leather, and will always disintegrate over time. Even if you take good care of it, it's inevitable. It's just a cheap way to make something look more fancy than it is. Real leather would hold up with care, but still won't breathe.
I have just received my Titan chair but I regret not having taken it in fabric because indeed the leather does not breathe at all.
as soon as i get a job i will buy one. I'm using a JÄRVFJÄLLET and its pleather (plastic leather) with no adjustable arm rests
RIP, adjustable arm rests are clutch.
Hello! Love the honesty. Have a quick question! How tall are you? And if you are fine with answering, biw much do you weigh? I'm trying to decide if I should get the Omega or the Titan. I'm 5'8" and 220lb
5’11” and 215. Go with the Titan. While you’re shorter than the recommended size, the Omega has aggressive flared sides on the seat. If you have wider hips, they will be uncomfortable. The seat height is not that different between the two, so your legs should still touch.
im getting the exact same chair today and im excited
Dude, I’m excited for you.
@@FracnoTV got it and all I can say is BEST CHAIR I HAVE EVER USED! but yeah I have the same issues with the memory foam pillow but it’s but a big deal I guess...
Hell yea! Enjoy!
Do you recommend it for 5.8 ft
sooo debating on ordering one this week. It says it will be ready to ship out January 14th or earlier, is this true? And how long does it take to get delivered? Asking for late christmas present. Also great great review i loved it and thank you !!!
If trust the shipping estimates. They always seem to be behind on availability but once it actually ships it’s fast.
does it make any sounds if u move on it ?
btw nice video :)
I love your videos and trust ONLY your reviews regarding anything ergonomics. I'm looking into purchasing myself a gaming chair, will you be looking into the "Razer Iskur" anytime soon? I just want to make sure I make the best purchase! Anyway, keep up the awesome vids! Thank you for your content!
I'd definitely like to try it if they are able to send me one. Buying multiple chairs is a bit expensive. Tweets and comments on their socials asking them to send me one will only help the cause!
This is making me really hopeful. I've been searching for a replacement chair for the past 3 years for a decent staples chair that the pu leather starting flaking off of, leaving bits around my apartment, as well as the cushion in the chair just dying after use for so long. I've been through 3 other chairs at this point, as it's hard for me to find good chairs for my height. This chair was recommended to me, and I finally caved to getting a "gaming chair". I'm waiting for it to show up, and looking at the reviews people give, I'm really hoping I find a chair able to properly support my back and head.
May I ask what's your height? Also would it be possible to put Scotchgard Fabric Water Shield spray on it? Thanks a bunch for the video.
5’11”/1.8M. Don’t know about the spray.
@@FracnoTV Cool thanks! Seeing you from the side was very helpful to see where the head rest lands. I'm 5' 10" so this was helpful, thanks!👍
It looks nice. Is this Titan XL? If it’s not maybe u XL suits u since ur head seems to be above the chair’s top. Perhaps the pillow will be more comfortably placed to support ur neck &head
It’s the normal Titan, but I also have the XL. It’s a bit too tall for my short legs. I recently made a video with all sizes and different people trying them. Check it out!
This is the one I want. I saw a video of a guy complaining that it was too firm and made his hamstrings hurt, but he admitted the chair was way too big for him haha .. yea I think I'm going for this over the herman. Just can't get over it being used and probably 10 years old
What are those panels/tiles on the wall behind your desk.
3³ is cubed, Black Cubed. I'm ordering on for my 40th Birthday. I'm torn between the black soft weave and the PU. I'm not a cat person, that's a really cool looking cat.😎
What's your background material? It looks really cool!
Happy Birthday! I have links to the tiles in the description of the video.
Came across your channel looking for reviews on this SL chair along with that Spidey chair. Great work so thank you very much for them as they have really played a big factor in my decision. You've earned my sub!
Question I do have is if you have come across the chair squeaking at all in the time you have had it/used it? I think thats really the only thing that I wanna know before I pull the trigger and buy one.
I don't have a lot of squeaking or noise with this chair, but it's not completely silent. I'll tell you what chair is absolutely loud as hell.... Herman Miller Embody x Logitech chair. This chair is a whisper compared to that one.
this and your previous review made me buy the 2020 cookies & cream titan! Im really small and dont weigh much but I didnt get the omega because I dont like the lumbar pillow or the sides which are raised, because I like to move around a lot on my chair and for it to feel more like an armchair. I like firm so should be good hopefully!
I hope you love it!
Actually thinking of buying 1 atm since my old 1 is falling apart. Now I know enough info on what to pick. Going to be a titan XL
Nice! You ass is gonna be stoked.
Would love to see you review an LF Gaming Stealth chair 💺, as I own the older version Secretlabs Titan and I find it a little too firm which seems to be bad for circulation.
I've emailed them but got no response. If you use social media, tag them and let them know that you'd like to see a review of their chair on my channel!
I want a Titan XL pretty darn bad. Solid review on both the new and old versions. I just gotta get over the price tag. Not sure if you mentioned or if I didn't catch it, but did the old or this new chair squeak or creak at all? Can't stand a creaky chair.
Also, absolutely gorgeous cats. My wife and I have 5 cats but have always wanted a Bengal cat. Maybe someday lol.
Mine does not squeak. They're pretty solid chairs!
@@FracnoTV Great to hear. I appreciate the quick response as well!
Everything you said is absolutely true including the pillow. I just hope nothing is gona break down for a long time. w0w
I’ve had the other one for 2 years and all of the wear and tear seems to be due to the PU leather so I have high hopes for this one!
