I considered this chair but I don't think mesh chairs are for me, I've finally ordered myself a Steelcase Gesture + headrest after spending far too long in a "gaming" chair. Can't wait for it to arrive ! Your videos helped me decide, so thank you 😆
I guess the silver lining of this chair is that it won't accidentally turn your PC on when you move it slightly since it's not connected to Razer Synapse. The frame digging into the body at the seat and the back seems like a big miss. Thanks for keeping it Ahnest Dan.
I've never bought a single Razr product, none of their keyboard, mice and other gaming products entice me. However, I think that their best product is actually a pair of ANC headphones. It's recommended as a budget alternative to Sony XM4s by Rtings.
Hey! I really like it. Only downside is that the headrest can be a bit finicky. They sponsored the video here: czcams.com/video/D5LyzO1X-VI/video.html It's not as soft as the Eames Lounge, but that could be a good thing - felt more supportive and I can go from upright to ultra lounge!
Thanks for the cover on this chair you made me want to save up for the Embody, I have similar preferences to yours with chairs and stuff, I also noticed one video you said you like your desk at 71cm which is the same for me haha
Razer recently released the Iskur V2. Have you had a chance to test it yet? Curious how it compares with this Fujin Pro. I know they're two different styles, but one has to be better than the other. right?
Brilliant review. Remember guys, smash the like button. 10k views and under 300 likes, this video has saved a lot of us from a poor decision. Some might love this chair, and some won't.
Good honest review! Mesh chairs aren't for everyone, and they definitely take a while to get used to no matter the style or brand... I have found with ergonomic chairs, in "most" cases you get what you pay for. If possible, do your research and don't rush your decision! Cheers - Jass.
idk why he complains about the warranty. Asus destrier has 2-3 years warranty. HM has 5 years warranty on fabric and it doesnt cover normal wear and tear of using the chair. same as steelcase
The reason why I was more harsh was because the Destrier costs $150 less than the Fujin Pro and the mesh felt better. As for HM warranty, I believe you misread HM's warranty (as many people do, so you're not alone). If you read their warranty, there are certain fabrics that have 5 year, and others that have 12 year. Read carefully (HM's warranty policy below) when it says "EXCEPTIONS COVERED UNDER 12-YEAR WARRANTY INCLUDE...". The Aeron's material is called 8Z Pellicle, which does have 12 year warranty. All of their popular office chairs all have fabrics covered by 12 year warranty (e.g. Balance, Rhythm, and Sync are on the Embody line, etc) 5 years Herman Miller proprietary fabrics applied to seating products (exceptions covered under 12-year warranty include: Ace, AireWeave™ 2, Aristo, Balance, Crepe, Dex™, Duo, Epic, FLEXNET™, Intercept, Interweave 2, Leather, Lyris 2™, MCL Leather, Marvel, Mercer, Monologue, 8Z Pellicle®, Rhythm, Sequel, Strata, Summit, Sync, Whisper , and proprietary textiles applied to Workspace products); Sayl® knit back cover
Glad I could help! Check out my ultimate chair buying guide for 2023-2024 and lemme know if you have any questions! Please consider using my links if you decide to pick up! Helps the channel a LOT! Also, maybe wait til next week. Just reviewed a solid chair for under $300 - could be a contender for your $$!
Have you tried the Lifeform chairs from Relax the Back? Apparently everyone says they're amazing but they're even more expensive than Herman Millers and there are hardly any reviews of them on CZcams.
I was looking forward to this and it is not ideal. Im in the lookout for a mesh chair to rotate to during summer but its hard to find an affordable one that ticks a lot of boxes.
Yeah...I was hoping for more considering the price point! Refurb Aeron is the way I'd go if you're looking for more affordable mesh! If you're willing to spend a little more, Crandall Office sells one that is totally cleaned and sanitized, common broken parts replaced, and a 12 yr warranty on the entire chair! Link in the description and pinned comment!!
Hi today i founnd out my local shop has the asus rog destrier in stock would you still recommend it over the razer fujin in terms of comfort ? cuz the warranty on both that i can get are bad.
Unrelated. But I need your thoughts. I'm about to buy an used Herman Miller Celle in India. I'm not sure if the dotted plastic back will hold well in ergonomic aspect. Pls let me know if it's worth it. The chair was manufactured in 2017.
My .00001 cents on ShortCircuit is that I think it's meant to be more of an Unbox Therapy like channel - just checking out cool stuff with a hype-everything attitude. Looking at it more charitably, I've realized that I have different thoughts now than I did on on a lot of my older chair reviews (from when I first started reviewing chairs). The reason why is because I've learned more about chairs, but more importantly, I have a LOT more chairs to compare other chairs to. Chairs, like everything else, is crazy relative. You have no idea what's good until you discover things that are far worse and far better. I'm thinking of re-reviewing a lot of those chairs in 2024 - esp with all the info (and chairs) I have now. I think I have over like $30k of chairs in my studio....lol
Tough question...I don't really have daily drivers anymore bc I'm almost always testing a chair. I have like 4-5 chairs on hand that surround my sitting area for when I'm done testing. These are the ones I don't put away bc I like them so much.... - HM Embody with Atlas Headrest - Haworth Fern w/ Atlas Headrest - Anthros - Headrest Humanscale Freedom
Bought this chair, would never by anything from Razer. Full of issues from receptions. Completely unusable now. Inexistent support. To never even consider.
I bought the regular Razer Fujin a few weeks ago, and had to order the headrest separately. From my research, only 1 year warranty on ASUS ROG Destrier versus 5 years for Razer Fujin was the deciding factor for me.
but have you seen the iskur v2? i got it and the lumber support is better now goes up down, left right, in out and no side bolts anymore on seat@@madant7777
*Sigh, another shameful money grab from Razer by overpricing an otherwise mediocre chair. As far as mesh chairs go, I still think the Aeron is the gold standard.
NGL, these videos hurt the most...because by telling the truth about what the chair is really like, I stand to make $0 on it via affiliate links, but paid full price for the chair. But, at the end of the day, I believe in being honest (ahnest) over making a dollar, and I've built a decent business based on this ethic!
It was a few years ago and they've mostly recovered credibility in my eyes, but i think they were giving sponsored "reviews" or biased reviews of their own products.@@Ahnestly

Np! I hope you love it! And please tell others about me (and tell them to use my links! These chairs yall want reviews for are EXPENSIVE! LOL)
The warranty tells us everything we need to know about their quality.
Acceptable at maybe half the price, but not at $1k.
The problem is, even at $500, there are still really solid alternatives with better warranty (3-5 years)
@@Ahnestly You're right, guess it's a pass on this chair. It doesn't help that the chair design looks like a $20 office chair without the headrest.
I guess the silver lining of this chair is that it won't accidentally turn your PC on when you move it slightly since it's not connected to Razer Synapse. The frame digging into the body at the seat and the back seems like a big miss. Thanks for keeping it Ahnest Dan.
Thanks for always commenting and supporting! Ugh...Synapse. The worst. lol.
Congrats on the new baby news! I lol'ed reading that "stat" on you
LOL wow normally only 1-2 people actually read that stuff! Appreciate your eye for attention! Gonna be taking a small break when baby comes!
Lol enjoy these videos. Thought I was the only one sitting cross legged
Glad you do! Lots of folks out here crossing their legs!!
The main problem of this chair is that Razer forgot the RGB to help with the lumbar support 😅 This is classic overpriced razer stuff as usual.
lolll man but can't doubt some of their stuff looks nice as hell!
I've never bought a single Razr product, none of their keyboard, mice and other gaming products entice me.
However, I think that their best product is actually a pair of ANC headphones.
It's recommended as a budget alternative to Sony XM4s by Rtings.
The 1 year warranty is a complete joke. Razer should be ashamed trying to sell a chair at this price with that kind of support.
Boot Juices is crazy.
Dan can you please do a review on the brown leather chair in the background of this video? I want to buy a lounge chair but not sure which one to get.
Hey! I really like it. Only downside is that the headrest can be a bit finicky.
They sponsored the video here: czcams.com/video/D5LyzO1X-VI/video.html
It's not as soft as the Eames Lounge, but that could be a good thing - felt more supportive and I can go from upright to ultra lounge!
Ya sorry Razer but that's a big miss with that price and warranty, Stick to notebooks and Peripheral's.
Yeahhh it's unfortunate.
The stretching and moving inside the chair is really not a concern. Just get up and walk around for a bit, then sit back down.
Thanks for the cover on this chair you made me want to save up for the Embody, I have similar preferences to yours with chairs and stuff, I also noticed one video you said you like your desk at 71cm which is the same for me haha

Please review ergohuman GEN 2.
To be honest it doesn't look that bad considering it's made by Razer. Also if you get a chance review some Ekornes Stressless chairs.

Well, I did get one in the end. And I like it so far. But now I sat in an Aeron… damn! Forward incline is a game changer.
Would you say a destrier for 580 dollars is worth it? I was able to get on on 30% sale + a cashback from ASUS
That's the kind of expectation we can get from company who makes anything for gaming BUT ergonomic chairs. LOL
Have you tried the Lifeform chairs from Relax the Back? Apparently everyone says they're amazing but they're even more expensive than Herman Millers and there are hardly any reviews of them on CZcams.

The sad thing is Steelcase doesn’t ship to my country :)
Hi Ahnestly, have you ever tried HOLLUDLE ergonomic chair, it's a budget one ?
Any opinion on razer enki pro ? It even uses alcantara and got some big discounts going on at times
I second this. He hasn’t reviewed either Enki.
Eyyy, nice logo intro!
Thanks! I haven't used it in quite a bit...it was in my older videos
I like it. Short yet classy and on brand!
I knew something was off when shortcircuit made their own video on this. They seem to promote a lot of sub par chairs.
My .00001 cents on ShortCircuit is that I think it's meant to be more of an Unbox Therapy like channel - just checking out cool stuff with a hype-everything attitude.

Can you review Ergohuman Gen 2 (aka Elite 2) chair please. Would like to hear your opinion on it. Cheerios.
that knob took you 40 turns costs a 1000 bucks. hell no!
Will you be covering the Iskur V2?
Sounds like an alright product if it was a few hundred less.
At a grand it completes with too many pen-flagship products from the greats.
Bought this chair, would never by anything from Razer. Full of issues from receptions. Completely unusable now.

FACT
I actually like the Razer Enki, and it cost me 400€ recently, compared to Titan Evo that was 650€ and not in stock.
Hey! Don't let some ridiculously handsome fool (lol) on CZcams tell you what to love/not love. As long as you like it, it's all gravy baby!
