amazing video setup, i loved the take aways section that i've never seen other youtubes do to break down each section. Keep it up bro!
Stop knocking my chair man. It's the best I could afford. lol
What
Ur so funny bro

@@camihl3841 woah bro chill bro haha ur so funny bro
@@TheMattst99 damn bro your so funny haha nice one
So glad I found this video. I'm checking on different websites trying to find a gaming chair and it's hard to tell which one's better than the other and which one I should choose, considering things like my budget, the reviews people post and the fact that it will be my first gaming chair ever. I'm sure this will help me. I might make an assembling video giving suggestions, if anything I'll make sure to give you credits. Thanks. 😊👍
so which one did you end up getting?
This video helped me understand so much about the differences between gaming chairs. Thank you so much for making this!
great technical points made thanks for the clarity. the concept of metals, aluminium actually being really strong, graphite usage and keeping the dollar spent parallel to your weight are all great highlights.
Thank you this was very helpful!
Here I am sitting on plastic chair cushioned with my sleeping pillow 🥲
Ill give 5 Star with your video. Well explained. Informative in less than 7 mins. Straight to the point.
Just 200 dollars. JUST
But sir muh stimulus
If you spend a lot of time sitting, its definetly "just".
First of all, if you take good care of it, its nothing that gets "outdated"
its a one time investment.
And not only is it comfortable, your back will thank you in the future. Spending that money now can save you a lot of back problems and thousands of dollars in the future.
Well furniture is expensive af so 2-300 for a good chair isn't that much tbh. Good sofas cost 5k take that into consideration
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j facts, should never cheap out on furniture. Your body will thank you
My eyes widened, I thought 200 was too much
First of all, I was very happy with how fast this item was delivered. czcams.com/users/postUgkxYR69rUVDfF56JHQRldV2uJeXaPA9LTZW It came a day before the listed delivery date, which was super great! I was able to assemble it myself with no difficult and I am not an engineer or a put-it-together expert. The chair is super comfortable, I play video games for roughly 3-4 hours at a time and it does not make my back hurt or neck hurt. The Reclining function actually surprised me because it goes very low, you could fall asleep on it ( and in fact i have while laying on it with a foot rest for my legs). The red is a bold choice and I usually stay away but I love how the red and black contrast looks on this type of material. The wheels on this chair are very very quiet, I have wood vinyl in my apartment and there is absolutely no noise. OVERALL, I WOULD RECOMMEND or BUY IT AGAIN !
idk man, that leaning back seemed so sketch, looked like he was going to fall back any second.
This was super helpful! Thanks!
Deadass, Im sitting on a 10 year old Office chair.
Same lmfao
Shits boutta break and I’m 443lbs.
@@luhtweakin2658 bro get yo ass off that chair and get active my guy 💪🏿
Lol mine is at least 20, gotta get a new one
A good chair will easily last many years so that isn't in any way bad per say, as long as you're comfortable. Not saying yours is as good because I have no idea what chair you're using, but that's why Herman Miller chairs for example are expensive as they are and why they give 12 years of warranty. An actual proper chair will last for many years. And office chairs is above gaming chairs any day
This is so helpful! Thank you for sharing!
that whole weight thing makes so much sense now. i have always bought chairs in the 100-150 range. not gaming Just chairs. and three of them all have broken . I am 220 . Recently took the plunge and got the secret labs titan. I can instantly tell this thing is built like a tank. i wish I thought about this ages ago.
Thanks a lot for the explanation. Now I know what to choose
Really good video. Short, informative and to the point. Thanks for the info!
I didn't realize all this made a difference....thanks for making this video i just bought the GTRACING chair and according to your review i picked the right one
Im thinking about getting one. What do you think so far?
Very informative thank you!
Great video, straight to the point.
Thank you for this video, man. I’m a bigger guy and I’ve always been a little weary of purchasing a gaming chair, but I think I definitely will now.
Thumbs up bro,, I totally agree with you especially regarding the weight point
As many people have said before, it’s informative and very descriptive. If y’all really love the content and delivery, I would suggest subscribing.
Excellent review. Thank you very much!
Sweet video man thanks.
This was helpful thank you
Very nice comparison and detailed video! I like 😁👍
great review man this helped me out a lot. thank you
Thanks. You video helps a lot
Great vid thanks
This is great thank you so much!
Grest review. Thanks xx
Thank you!
A very informative video. Thank You.
Best video ever thx dude
I can’t believe you didn’t mention the PU leather cracks after a year and peels
Awesome video!
This was really enjoyable video to watch thank you.
Thanks for this video work. You come across as very knowledgeable and learned. I didn't hear any comments about padded armrests - and I'm not seeing them as an option much. I'm a programmer and my executive chair (low cost) has worn out too fast just as you describe (squeaky, foam got flat over time etc). I'm trying to find that ideal answer - again, thanks.
Thanks! Most armrests are made of either plastic or polyurethane. The later is softer, but basically still feels like hardened rubber. You can always just get a separate armrest pad that goes on top of the armrests for added comfort: ergonomictrends.com/best-desk-armrests-and-elbow-pads/
Thanks for video
Best video I have seen on gaming chairs, thank you.
Really useful video!
Great ideas
Very informative
Thank you!!
Never thought about squeakiness, lol good thing to add!
Thanks 🙏
just bought a secretlab titan! super excited to get that
helpful video thanks! you could also buy a plush seat cushion, and it'll still be cheaper than a high end chair
It was very informative video
I got a emerge varton chair off of staples and paid $130 for it with coupons when it was originally $230 and it’s a pretty nice chair. You can do better but for $130 you can’t beat that
Thank you for posting this video. It is very informative 👍
Love the video man. I'm a taller guy and yes to have good comfort you have to go $400 and up. You will regret in the long run going cheap. always regret going cheap
I'm getting a set of those urethane casters: silent, lower rolling resistance, doesn't pick up dust/dander/hair.
great comparison
Dude...in the 2 weeks I've slaved over probably 30 brands of chair dimensions, features and reviews, I never knew about the different foams.
Seems it's well worth it if you can afford the cold cured cos it'll last much longer.
If not, you gotta go with high density.
Knew my mind to find there are chairs in the $199 range that use high density foam AND have steel bases.
Think of the same principle with mattress shopping.. heavier/denser people need more firmness/durability in their resting surfaces.
Really informative, I was checking out some gaming chairs because they look more comfortable than the office desk chairs I've seen, I just need something that would feel comfortable when sitting down for hours
I was considering the secret lab titan and the chairs from herman miller. I'm the type of guy who buys everything i'm considering between (especially for long lasting items) and then keep the one I like based on my actual use and sell off the rest. All I can say is, the HM Aeron is far superior in every possible way to the "gaming chair". It's not even a contest. But it also was about 3 times the price. It's weird because I don't feel like I overpaid for the Aeron, but I felt like I overpaid for the Secret Lab Titan.
@@moltenbullet Because the Aeron looks, feels and is built like the price you paid for. You also get a 12 year warranty that covers any issue that might come up. Hell the used Aeron's at the 500 mark are better than a gaming chair.
Buy a mesh offic chair with adjustable head rest, tilt, back/lumbar support it’s much more comfortable
Thanks! I don't know how many you've had the chance to try, but I'm looking for recommendations for chairs under $200 for an average body type. I've been looking at the Respawn brand. Definitely not committed exclusively to the "racing style" chairs.
For under the $200 range, the gtracing and homall chairs are as good as they get. They're not the greatest but for average body size should last a good while. Also see our guide here: ergonomictrends.com/best-ergonomic-gaming-chairs-under-200/
what should I look for in a gaming chair if I want to reduce the sound of my tactile transducer hooked up to it? kind of annoying that I can hear the bass instead of just feeling it
You missed companies like Dowinx: they use a foam for the seat but also they have pocketed springs to aid in the comfort and spring hold up a ton longer than just foam.
Thanks
I have the Andaseat Dark Demon that's very similar to the Andaseat chair in your video.
Sadly our hobby has been hijacked by predatory marketing (as everything). Sadly anything marked "gaming" is usually junk. Personally after the RapidX chair I bought I'll be going with a ergo office chair or perhaps sell a kidney and get the MonsterTech Flight Sim chair.... Great video!!
Great review! Thanks. I would recommend to buy the BEST! What is your health worth?
This channel is massively underrated. You're so thorough with your reviews! Much appreciated.
Thanks so much for the encouragement!
I have the GTR racing chair and I love it. It comes with a Bluetooth and it’s comfortable. I don’t like the $300 chair
I have the clasic red genesis nitro 330, no fancy tricks but you can lean back a bit, but the best thing you don't sweat like a pig in it on summer
I have the same batman shirt. Nice shirt btw.
No way! There could only be one batman lol
The tilt mechanism also makes a great difference, I would never buy one with the simple mechanism.
Bro most chairs big brand or Ali express have the same manufacturer
Wow
@@nihaalspeaks wow
ty for the great video,there are so MANY chairs but for me am very TALL and BIG and looking @ $500 for a chair
i have a gaming chair here which doesn't have any 5 star base but its just pure steels and some spring.
Great video I needed this but keep in mind sometimes chairs are expensive and still use junk
Oh yeah for sure. The other way can occasionally be true too - a budget chair that is high quality. I'm about to review one that fits that bill next :)
@@ergonomictrends8446 at that point, better to look for actual "office chairs" function first, fashion later.
Good to know! I weigh 127 lbs and I’m happy I don’t have to buy an expensive chair.
fr its a good day to be 5’0 and weigh 100 pounds 💯 we can save money for a little while 😁
Please tell me which one is beat...I have to buy so please share chair link
Some people buy racing car seats and adapt them instead.
I ❤️ the anda seat its easily the best chair I've bought for my high an size almost 6ft 4.
Just spent 469 on my secretlab dark knight titan chair and have no regrets..good vid
I got my SecretLab CyberPunk2077 Titan chair back in Aug. No Regrets either. This chair brand is not to be taken lightly. There products are just out right superior in the segment. And for anyone who thinks spending $400 or 500+ on a chair is unreasonable, just think, our butts, back and feet take the most punishment in our day to day. Don't you think they deserve a little love every now and again. This is a sound investment. Way better then that next pair of J's your thinking of buying and not blink twice on.
true they are super nice, but i would have to choose between the chair or a pc
@@crymsyndicate bruh this secret lab titan 2020 chair sucks, its day 3 and although it can hold my weight of 210 pounds, I find that I'm constantly adjusting it, and that I have to stretch every 10 mins, its too firm, and its giving more neck and back problems than I had before. The lumbar support is literally too hard or too soft, and I find no support for my neck and shoulders at all. Only thing good about it, is the recline, the 4d arms, tilt lock, and recline. Sometimes I nap for hours while reclined all the way. But sitting down gaming or working is constantly uncomfortable.
@@charlesmbakop6349 I am sorry to hear you are having a rough go with your titan chair. Let me see if I can help. The cold cure foam is hard for a reason and that is to 1. last longer under load & 2. give better support. The company claims it will get softer after awhile but don't expect it to be like couch sitting. A possible reason for your neck and back pain is the posture correction process your body is going through. This will pass. Also I find that when u want to sit up straight and game/work. Make sure to adjust the backrest in a slightly more forward position so your full back is resting against it. Alot of the time we are so out of touch with what a correct seating position actually is we develop bad habits. And the worse your previous chair was b4 the Titan the more time you may need to adjust to the difference. Just hang in there and good luck. Don't forget to check out the company's faq page. They got some helpful tips there.
@@crymsyndicate okay I’m hoping it’s just my posture readjusting that’s cause me all these problems cause this chair was expensive and I want it to work well
i owned the inland mach which i got because i thought it'd be better than the gt racing on amazon, only to find they seem to be made at the same plant just branded differently.
the wings on the seat dig into my legs n it hurts after sitting longer than 30 or 40 minutes.
on the plus side it has a 5 year warranty.
but i had to add a cushion
Ty
This is more about comfort being mentioned as quality overall. I had a sub $200 chair and it fell apart. First the GAS Cylinder after not even a fee months failed and I did buy a replacement for it, next the cheap thin metal bottom showed its true colors, poor weldment. It happens that I know what a good weld is, this was not even close to it so I ended up tossing the chair. While it was worthless I took it apart, made also pictures and found that the wooden base of the seat had mold, yikes.
I am an plus average tall guy so over six two so did order the third more expensive chair you showed. I know quality when I see it and I should have listened to my inner voice. Like you pointed out the 5-star base gives away the quality, it is as you mentioned in your video...
Mind you the customer support of this vendor was excellent, of course I had documented everything with pics and videos, not very flattering for vendor, they did refunded me the money after 9 months of use so kudos there.
The High-end 'expensive-err' chairs seem to be popular and with the " Covid-19 " there are a lot of delays with shipping but that is a different topic
Thanks for the video but it would it would (in my case) also be a point to mention the quality of materials used. Cheap, thin steel, poor weld versus thicker steel and other quality Frame-style , the bases for tilting system, is the only thing I missed in your video with a close-up and or snap shots of the inner of the chairs. And you were how many years into Gaming chairs ?
Nice review, thanks. What would be the Rolls Royce of gaming chairs?
Dx racer and secret lab imo
A lot of the price difference is related to size and weight tolerance
I own a GT racing chair. In fact mine is also red. It's identical to the one in this video. It's ok. Nothing to write home about. The only difference I see between mine and the one in this video is that mine has a fold out foot rest that hides away under the seat. My chair doesn't make any noise at all. My arm rests only adjust up and down. My lumbar pillow/cushion has a build in vibrator & heat. The one thing this guy doesn't mention is the biggest problem of all with these chairs. That problem is tipping over backwards. They are NOT balanced correctly!! So watch out you don't tip over on your head when reclined.
So, a big FYI...the foam density which he touches on pretty well, is not nearly as cut and dry as he explains and I wish it were.
He tells us there's Memory Foam then High Density Foam which will last longer and then there's the king...Cold Cured Foam. And that will last many years before flattening out.
To get out of the way, the king is exactly as he describes and you will know if it might have cold foam because it will be north of $400.
Ive seen a couple that were $279 and even $259 that said cold molded foam or cold foam only to see down the page the words memory foam in a picture of the seat.So actually, there is that to look out for.
But the real nightmare exists with the first two things he mentioned. As you go through the 70 different brands on Amazon and read their descriptions you will see a lot of this...Made with high density memory foam. ....huh? Its one or the other isnt it?
Well after researching (mattresses was where I learned this).
Memory foam comes in different densities! You can have low density memory foam, medium or high density foam!
The thing is, we have no freaking way of knowing what the hell its really made of AKA how long it will last us.
All we can do is hope to get lucky by the 3rd gaming chair we buy to find a solid brand.
One tip...if you're in the $179 to $249 range...start with the base material. Look for the base/legs to be made from metal like steel, aluminum or reinforced nylon at the least.
Then, one piece steel frames.
If they have those two...its likely their claim of high density foam will be real.
all these reviews always miss the gas lift section under the seat, ive had numerous seats from office to gaming in 18 monthsand they have all broke on the welding on the bracket were the gas lift inserts into, brought a updated version and never with v shaped bracket and not had a problem, i'm 6 ft 1 and about 15 stone, paid £150 from currys pc world for an adx gaming chair, love it, best chair I've purchased.
I bought piranha attack cloth edition its pretty good l.
Hello Sir! Appreciate your video, i found it very direct and honest. Could you please compare KILLABEE 8204 and KCREAM 8515- Red. Is Killabee worth 50$ more considering the steel base? Thank you!
Super helpful video - thanks! Could you tell me -- is the AndaSeat backrest recline lockable at any angle? Their literature seems to imply that it is only lockable at 90, 100, 120, 140, and 160. Thanks for the help!
Yep it's lockable at any angle
Thank you for the review. I need to search further as I do not want a chair with that bonded leather, or whatever leather that decides to start disintegrating over time and getting everywhere. It's a mess!
I gave up on this... that cheat PU is on nearly all of them, and definitely impossible not to find on the cheap ones. I just don't understand why! So frustrating. Anyway, in the end, I've ordered a lower-end one (all I can afford) and I've bought a car seat cover to put over it! The car seat cover won't look fabulous, but I have a limited budget. And cats.
I have the GTR racing chair which cost me $150 on sale (usually $200) and honestly it feels perfect for me. But then again I’m lightweight at 5’8 116 pounds.
Save your money, i have bought many of these chairs and they are uncomfortable and overpriced, they also easily break
I wish my room was big enough for a couch but gaming chair is the closest thing I can get
@@tonystark559 no a Office Chair is much much Better.
@@duderobi I bought a cheap chair on amazon lol it's really good
@@tonystark559 how much ?
@@jesusfierro6355 160 I think it's got a leg rest. But when I get a job ill invest in a quality one right now I need to go cheap lol
1:23 ... _steel which has a density that's three times that of Nylon._ Steel of course is far more dense than Nylon, about 7 times as dense. But steel is around 3 times denser than aluminum, maybe that's what you were thinking of. Just remember that engineering plastics are about 1/2 of aluminum and aluminum is about 1/3 of steel.
lol stop
Hey I got a gtracung chair for 60 bucks, I made off well. I got it last night and put it together.
On the GTRACING chair imma just customize it.
I like this dude
If it had a graphite base I'd be like, word!!! But then I'd be like, oh, Imma nerd lol
Mine is a brand new Gamez Redbull chair from a major supplier. It costs less than 70 Sing dollars. However, it can't recline. Any idea?
Tt racing got nice qualities for cheap price!
Couldn't I oil the cheaper chair to prevent squeaking?
