Ascend to... the PC Master Race. If you are used to sitting in a chair and spreading your legs open, I would advise to go for the Titan.
So it has been another year with the SecretLab chairs! I think this is where SecretLab has really knocked it out of the park lately. I'm male and am 175 cm or about 5'8.8", which is just a hair under the minimum height recommendations (5'9") for the new 2020 line of Secretlab Titan chairs .
Posted by 1 year ago. Secretlab chairs are notorious for peeling. If there’s one thing secretlab gets right it’s marketing. User account menu. I have adjusted this thing over and over and over again with fail. Hey man, quick question!
Are you sure you weren't paid to make this comment?
I am 5'9 and 215lbs muscular built. For this reason, I went with the softweave model. Pretty happy with this decision as it is pretty comfortable. Not much to mention as far as durability when the chairs still look new. Cookies help us deliver our Services. After using the 2020 for a few weeks now though… WOW!!! Welcome to the official subreddit of the PC Master Race. I guess ill start at the same place as the last review – How are the chairs holding up?! Pretty happy with this decision as it is pretty comfortable.

I already really liked these chairs compared to their competition.
I think they are fine armrests, but could still use a little more cushion. I am trying so hard to like the chair because SecretLab will charge you 10-15% to send it back... Im 6'5" and 205, pretty athletic and this chair feels incredibly uncomfortable. Just got into PC gaming, and now realise the necessity for a good chair. Are you sure it doesn’t lean back further? For this reason, I went with the softweave model. So my simple question is: Are these chairs really worth the $400 price tag or is there something much better out there? Sometimes the lumbar adjustment just doesn't cut it but this feeling has decreased with use. I have a small setup for friends and stuff to dock their PC at or whatever they bring over to game with and that is when the Omega mostly gets used.
Nope. The chair is very comfortable.
But all in all, for the money I paid, I am well happy with the purchase! The new 2.0 prime leather feels fantastic and durable. The reviews look good. The new 2020 series is softer then the older chairs for sure. It supports me really well and I have never gotten sore or numb, or even uncomfortable. Do they seriously charge 10-15% to send it back to them? My Omega chair that I got for my girlfriend also looks brand new but she doesn’t use it as much as I use the Titan. Very pleased with it. I weigh only 147 lbs (66.7 kg) and I have owned the chair for a little over 2 weeks now. There is no cracking, or pealing of the PU leather.
Can it still repel liquids? I'd appreciate if you could tell me if this chair is worth it for a tall and skinny guy like me, I'm not sure why they put a minimum weight honestly.
I wanna preface this by saying that I have no (known) back issues but I was noticing that I would have really poor posture in my previous chair. Take a look at some pics of the 3 year old chair that still look brand new. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the pcmasterrace community. The PU feels even better quality.
Close. The arm rests could still use more padding but they do have give.
Concerning the arm rests, Secretlab did redesign them a bit and when compared to what reviewers said about the previous model, the new ones do seem to have more give. You were taken advantage of by Secretlabs, I suspect.
You can also swing by my stream (twitch.tv/Str1kerz) and feel free to ask questions there too if I am live. To sum up this ramble of a review, if you are 175 or more cm in height and don't need a large amount of back support, this chair is fantastic.
Could have sworn I saw pictures of it leaned back almost completely, Edit: See here at 1:50 https://youtu.be/-Xs8Iw6IHFM. I haven't had any durability issues. After my old posts were archived, I started getting a lot of PMs so lets try to keep them in the post for as long as we can. Roomies girl has the throne and that’s just slightly small, still a great chair though. Secretlab Titan 2020 Review - Much less then expected.
Basically are they worth it? Secretlabs have got my eye, and I have a chance to get a titan with £100 off list price through a friend.
Have to say - love my Omega - its super comfy and the enclosed Lumbar pillow (they even sell these separately on the Secret Lab website if it ever wears out!) Let’s talk about the new 2020 improvements.
Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. ...thats odd - I recently bought the 2020 Omega Soft weave (Charcoal Blue) and it has zero static?!!!! It is really cushioned there though and i find nothing uncomfortable about it. In the end, I do not get any lower-back soreness or pain, and with the adjustable back and chair tilt I find myself sitting with much much better posture, and while it was not as much as I expected it still satisfies my needs. The static was so strong getting up out of the chair would turn off two separate computers in my room from static alone. I just bought a footrest - trying anything to solve the stiffness in my lower back while using this chair - and it doesn't seem to work. I get a lot of DMs through reddit about these chairs since my first review: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/68uesv/new_build_dx_racer_vs_secret_lab_chair_review/, And then my year later follow up review: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/8g0v67/secretlab_titan_and_omega_chairs_1_year_later/, Both of these have been archived So I thought it would be nice to post another year later follow up review. I'm really wanting the softweave but with the first one of the way the brain is saying Pu leather and heart is saying softweave. 20.
No priors issues before this $400+ chair.
So....are they worth it?? My only issue is that I do get some fatigue right above my lower back after sitting for extended periods in this chair. I was on the edge between the Secretlab Titan and Omega based on my height and went with the Titan. It most certainly is NOT like concrete - these people have probably got used to sitting in the most softest of soft chairs so obviously, comparing those to the Omega, will be very different!
In fact, this chair is softer than i was expecting. I have a titan also and I love it.
The Titan, unlike Omega, has a built-in adjustable lumbar support which is the main reason I went for it over the Omega.
I much prefer the look of the PU leather but I live and work from my home in South Florida.
This chair still looks brand new (about a year later) as expected.
I'm 5'7 and I have been looking at this chair for a while , this def helps me make a decision. You've been warned. First impressions - it looks absolutely stunning (pic here: https://twitter.com/deans6571/status/1144601214933504000 ), it looks really nice. When shopping around I thought the other gaming chairs lumbar cushions would protrude way too much and I really wanted to make sure the lumbar would be the right amount, hence me going for the adjustable one.
I'm thinking about buying this chair because I'm pretty tall, the problem is that im only 134 pounds (60kg) and I'm worried that this chair won't fit me because of my weight. After using them a while during gaming my elbows will get a little uncomfortable though.
So when I came across reviews claiming this chair was rock hard it gave me some reservations about ordering it. Imo the lumbar support, when maxed out, could still go out farther. You are much luckier than me, or it may be the humidity.
Okay! As I stated in my first review, I upgraded from a basic office max chair that caused back pain after a long day. I would say the chair fits me ok, but somebody my size would also fit the Titan (I couldn't justify the extra cost for the Titan). I work from home a lot so I have a stand sit desk. When it comes to the build quality, all the other reviews on this chair nail it.
PU leather eventually peels. If youre within their waranty though you should contact them. I strongly suggest you change out the PU for fabric. I also just got the new 2020 series so I could do some comparing and talk about the differences.
It's definitely well made and should last for many years. ), If you don't mind me asking what one did you go for?
Wipe it down if anything spills it on and otherwise I just didn't beat on it or anything. I must say though, that if you are shorter than me, even if not by much, the seat cushion may extend out too far and the head cushion would be in less ideal of position even when lowered on the chair, and this chair may be too large. The overall cushion of the chair is not too firm but it is not a pillow and if you're looking for something more along those lines, this is NOT the chair for you.
There's nothing wrong with you.
My stealth with suede colorway is amazing to look at and I am still happy every time I sit in it. is there any sweat/heat etc when sitting for very long periods of time? and I had no issues (you even get several spare screws + allen key with screwdriver). The seat does not feel or look deformed and it would be pretty hard to guess the age of the chair (3 years old now) if you didn’t know about it from this review. I also sit at work on an office mesh backrest chair without issues either. User account menu.
It's not terribly humid, but I'm thinking it could cause some "stickiness" especially as I sit in shorts 100% of the time.
I’m actually thinking about getting a softweave omega soon since the titan is just a bit wide for me.

They have definitely done that now!
I usually prefer leather but for the sake of longevity I went with the fabric. By using our Services or clicking I agree, you agree to our use of cookies. I just bought the titan 2020 chair and this thing feels too stiff and firm that it's starting to hurt my lower back.
Buying the Omega tomorrow depending on what you say lol. But nonetheless I pulled the trigger and got it 2 business days later (shout-out to secretlab for the fast shipping).
, which comes with the Omega, offers great support for your lower back, as does the head pillow too!! My stealth with suede colorway is amazing to look at and I am still happy every time I sit in it. However, I noticed something odd on the DHL tracker. One of my biggest suggestions in the last review was too offer more color choices. When I was researching this chair the main conflicting thing I read and heard was that this chair was either "suuuper comfy" or "you might as well be sitting on a piece of wood." I do want to make it clear that this does offer good support, but this is highly subjective and if you are someone who needs a lot of support then this may not work out well. Amazing! I spend about half of the day standing and half sitting. I game and stream at night (twitch.tv/Str1kerz) and that is all done sitting pretty much.
