I came to this same conclusion years ago regarding any product labeled "gaming". In my case it was headphones. Spending $200+ on gaming headphones that never lasted, had no replaceable parts and were generally just inferior to well known audiophile brands. It was well worth and cheaper in the long run to save for a nice pair of headphones. My Sennheiser headphones are going on 12 years old now, can replace the cables, pads etc and just as good as the day I bought them.

@blakearius 11 месяцев назад

Audiophile brands still dont last for me. My $300 AKG's the cables went to shit, the $80 pads needed replacement, and a plastic part on 1 part broke. Sennheiser my pads went but I didn't know you could replace them and gave them away. I still need to get myself a new pair I was thinking the Sennheiser HD600XX from massdrop.

@StardustLegacyFighter 11 месяцев назад

I currently use Hyperx Cloud Alpha headphones, which I bought for under £100, over 3 years ago. They've held up really well, especially since they're used throughout the work week for me. The pads have cracked a bit, but that's because I've abused them a lot and not looked after them properly. Some audiophile brands are massively overpriced and not really built as well as they should be. I do like Beyerdynamic's budget range, but the lack of a detachable cable is really annoying.

@AuronFAnatic 15 часов назад

UH.... I must say thank you. After seeing you move the armrest on the Titan chair, I now know that I can adjust them front and back and side to side. I have had mine for over 4 years now and never know it could do that lol. Also I don't find the bucket seat to cause me discomfort at all but to some it might. I have used office chairs before I got my Titan and I will never go back. Being able to adjust the arms to my liking and the sturdier padding of the Titan feel so nice. The office chair I used before made me feel constrained but since it was free, was my folks old office chair, but I hated it so much that I shelled out for my Titan.

@logan666999 3 месяца назад

For years I wanted a gaming chair... now that I finally decided to spend some money to upgrade my gaming setup, I don't know what to buy. I did some research and a lot of people are saying NOT to buy a gaming chair. I'm tall and "semi" heavy (110kg). So I was aiming at something sturdy. And that is usally a gaming chair. However... I feel like an office ergonomic chair will simply be more comfortable. I did some research to decide and now I'm even less decided than before xD

Месяц назад

@@igors1234 I bought an office chair less than a year ago, and regretted it almost instantly. It is now broken. The gaming chair that I had before that held way longer (although the cushioning on the arm rests gave out too quickly). From what I can see, and what I dislike about this office chair the most, is that when you recline in an office chair, the seat tilts back too (even a Steelworks Gesture for over a thousand euros seems to behave that way)… gaming chairs have an independently-reclining back. Killer feature for me. So now I will replace this office chair with a gaming chair.

@logan666999 Месяц назад

@@igors1234 yeah, so I bought Symino gaming chair. In general I am happy with it. It is comffortable and seems sturdy. Tho it is a bit stiff... it's not a deal breaker. And I'm use to it by now. I'm tall and this one is big enough for me to sit on. To be honest I had high expectations for a gaming chair and I was a bit disappointed at first... because like I said, it's a bit stiff. But in general I'm used to it right now and I can sit for hours if needed. Time will tell how durable it will be :) I bought it in June.. so it's only 2-3 months. We'll see :)

@alvesvaren 9 дней назад

Had a cheap gaming chair for a few years, was really not good, then I upgraded to a pretty expensive nice office chair that was the same one I had at work, it felt comfortable for ~8h at work so I thought it would be nice at home too, but I didn't like it so I sold it and bought a secret lab titan evo, and it was much more comfortable. I also like to sit with crossed legs, and that was super uncomfortable in my office chair but feels great in my secretlab I think there are better chairs than gaming chairs, but the titan evo isn't a bad chair. I'd never buy a random gaming chair that's just made to look like a car seat though

@marinenukem 15 часов назад

I think I like my gaming chair because it actually keeps me in 1 position. I fidget a lot and in other chairs am constantly moving around in them, but having a chair that kinda pushes me into a more upright sitting position I find helps me focus more on my computer and what I’m doing

@virgilthemob1242 День назад

I guess mileage may vary. I bought an older Titan with lumbar suport and omnidirectional armrest adjustments before they stopped making them and hiked the price, but considering that my usual seating position is partially reclined, with my feet propped up on the subwoofer under my desk, it definitely does its job and I couldn't really find any office chairs within the same range that suited my particular use case. It also held up remarkably well. Other than the foam on the armrests coming apart from the plastic here and there, it has no tangible damage or heavy wear. That being said, at the current rates I'd definitely look for something else if I ever was to replace it.

It's because gaming chairs were first designed for racing sims. That's why the first gaming chair companies have names like DxRacer and NeedforSeat. It was just meant to imitate the driving experience to make it more immersive. The look took off, so they just went with it as the default design for any type of gaming chair. -Ryan

@iliketoast-q9b 8 месяцев назад

They're also designed so the driver can sit in them for hours on end without issues. So they're actually very comfortable if they fit your body shape and you don't have to move much.

@Asghaad 6 месяцев назад

@@btodtvor maybe the gaming isnt office work and having rigid frame that holds position is desired ... when gaming i dont need to reach for a copier, phone on the desk write a note or sign a piece of paper ... what i want is to find a position and then spend 10+ hours in that same position without suffering any fatigue from the chair. which means rigid solid chair that DOES NOT FLEX ... exactlyu the same thing as racing seats in cars that are designed to keep drivers comfortable for hours on end even in moving vehicle that goes over bumps on the road. and if someone has issues with side "railing" on a gaming chair it just means they chose wrong size of one, just get one with wider body.

@oneoranota День назад

You say car seats are comfortable, but I raise you that most gaming chairs are not car seats, they just look like it. Even the cheapest car will have a ton of high density moss, load of back support, and adjustable headrest up to 7 feet. Gimme a car seat on a stick, even with half the padding (since you are not moving over inequal terrain) and I'll be more than happy.

@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO 4 месяца назад

I have a gaming chair, I want to upgrade to a nice office chair but I have used the full back tilt once, I injured my back and having my chair tilted back up against my bed so I could lay in the chair with more support and ever so slightly tilled up with my feet in the bed was the only way I could get to sleep for a couple nights. very uncommon use case obviously but not sure how I would have gotten to sleep if I didn't have the chair

@Axeiaa 10 месяцев назад

I think the main difference is, how many gaming chairs manage to last past say 5 years? Most will have the faux leather peeling, the arm rests failing, the seating going flat etc etc. I'm pretty happy with my GT Omega chair as it seems to about the same quality as any other (steel frame, cold foam etc) but was £220 rather than £300-500. Now after half a decade however the seat is starting to go flat, all the seams in the seating have rippedthrough the faux leather. To be fair, If I can get another seat for it I'd happily sit in for another half a decade. My sitting posture although not great doesn't result in back aches and seems to work with most chairs. The reason for me to go for an office chair is that they actually seem to last. There's Steelcase and Herman Miller chairs in their 'teens' that functionally are still the same as a new one, and they come with warranties that back that up. Gaming chairs mostly seem to be 2-3 years of warranty (warranty that doesn't cover pretty much everything that will go wrong because they'll write it down to normal wear and tear even when it isn't)

@Hermitmaster 10 месяцев назад

@itranscendencei7964 10 месяцев назад

Sorry if this isnt the best place to ask, but figured I would try. I had a pretty bad accident that makes sitting upright in a chair rather painful. So sitting at a desk has been something I have to do minimally. My chair is old and not great, so I've been looking to replace it. The main thing I need is just for the butt cushion to be quite soft, and enough room for easy position adjustment. I've considered just getting a recliner because of this, but there has to be a better option than that. I need something that is soft and somewhat spacious, as i need to readjust my seating position very frequently, so I know I should be looking office chairs. I'm just not sure where to start. If anyone here has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. :)

@ditoo2002 9 месяцев назад

I personally prefer recliners, but if its gonna be used in an office setting, maybe an office chair with a kick back stand for your feet. Or just add a cushion to an ergonomic chair. I know this is a late reply, but thought I could help

@itranscendencei7964 9 месяцев назад

I appreciate the reply all the same. I actually watched some more videos from these guys and decided to pick up a Haworth Soji (95% Polyester Cushion) during their Black Friday sale.

Although I do plan on getting a recliner for my living room, so it also seemed a bit silly to get 2 in the end. Lol. The chair has been great so far. Still breaking it in, and it makes me wish I had an adjustable desk. A foot rest is something I will be looking into, but am ultimately happy with the choice. :)

@developerdeveloper67 Месяц назад

Problem with these "mesh" chairs is that the the mesh rough, it's not soft as proper cushion and as the chair gets used, if you use it a lot, all day the fabric will start to get lose in the places your put more weight and then the "ergonomic" of them goes out of the windows and you end up with highly curved back uncomfortable chair. For me this was bad, particularly on the lower back curve. I favor a FLAT back chair, tough that is counter intuitive, I prefer I myself buy or make my own lower back cushion so that when it goes bad, if it goes back I can just change it.

Can the tallest guy in your office recommend a chair for a someone 6'5" 240lb with neck and shoulder pain? I dont care for aggressive lumbar just good neck, shoulder, and elbow support. 4D armrest and at least 20 depth on the seat for sitting cross-legged. The most comfortable backrest I've used is on the Serta Hensley but the armrests are unusable and the seat raises my legs too much. Currently use it with the arms installed upside-down and a clamp on desk elbow rest arm but still find it hard to get comfortable aside from sitting cross legged and never feel like I have enough elbow support and get leg pain. From your videos Im thinking the Fern no lumbar/headrest with an atlas headrest mod or the Mavix M9 to use with my Uplift Desk. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Chairs ive tried but didnt like. Serta Hensley: great back bad arms unergonomic seat. Steelcase Gesture: Seat too shallow. Steelcase Leap Plus: Did not lime the back, it dug into my shoulders and found I missed a headrest. Logitech Embody: Was not blown away, too small for me. Herman Miller Aeron C: Did not like at all, overrated. Found the plastic on the seat and shoulder area hitting pressure points.

Great video as usual. 2 things to note. Steelcase Amia owner here (love the chair by the way I got in 2011 and it has been incredible.) I still find my self grabbing my gaming chair around once a day for a specific task. I also have an extra one for you guessed it my sim racing setup. After it’s all sim racing I want the realism. So that is a point you could have added it is great for people who sim race and want to feel as close to possible and get as much realism as possible. 2nd point, you noted the full recline function is trash. However that’s the reason I grab the chair. I have a tall padded thing I use as a footrest I lay my feet on it and then use my monitor arm to get my big 49 inch monitor high and pointed downward. I use my full recline grab my controller and play laid back games with my controller laying back in a comfortable position just having a good time. So yes an office chair is so much more comfy, however there is specific occasions where a gaming chair is better, I feel like my 2 situations are the only ones. You could also maybe say for looks but I would still rather just get a cool looking office chair.

I spent £250 on a secondhand chair that retails for £600+ from someone on eBay - guy was just upgrading to a newer chair that better suited his height so this secondhand one was almost brand new and not used much. Best purchase I've made for my home office/den. It's always worth checking to see if anyone nearby is selling their chairs secondhand, especially after the COVID lockdowns and people gradually moving back into their company offices rather than WFH.

My gaming chair cost me 200 to 300 bucks. It's your typical gaming chair. People try to tell me gaming chairs are so expensive and how much better office chair are and then they recommend 1500 dollar chairs by Herman Miller. No. I am not paying 1500 bucks for an office chair. Sitting for 2000000 hours a day is shit anyways, no matter how expensive your sexy little chair was. One of the best things you can do is to just stand up from time to time.

well fml, the gaming embody looks pretty damn close to my dream chair in terms of back design, I'd give it a 9/10. Shame it costs $2000.

You'll be spending your hard earned cash on a chair that's basically two wooden slabs put together with the word "GAMING" on it. Go for an office chair instead. It's often cheaper than a gaming one and much more comfortable. Also, I bought my current chair on IKEA and it had a 10-year warranty.

@wojtek-33 2 месяца назад

Funny you say gaming chairs force you into one position. Office chairs force you into office mode. All their adjustability is great, for customizing the chair for office work. Slouching in an office chair is near impossible, the seats aren't comfortable for long periods, the fabric is usually too grippy. And being 6'2" 225, the recommended office chairs are generally pretty terrible. Also weird that the top brands don't think people over 5' 9" exist. After returning several high end office chairs, I am in a Walmart Serta chair. Arms sucks, but the back is tall, wide and flat and I can sit in in for as many hours as needed with never feeling like I need ot get up. Make that chair Steelcase.

Biggest problem with all of these chairs: they are too expensive! I really wish I could just find a nice, simple chair, that supports more weight that the regular 100kg, that seems to be the norm.

@seekthetablet9548 2 месяца назад

The gaming chair holds you in place, like a racing car seat does. Think about it; an actual gaming pro is spending 30-45 minutes locked in on a game, pushed forward, then they break for a while in a real tournament on stage. If you're gaming four hours and hours it should obviously be more like an office chair, as that is designed for that use case. Like a racing styled seat in a car makes sense for a race car driver, but would be wildly uncomfortable for anyone making a daily commute or road trip

@tennumb2710 Месяц назад

I find steelcase pretty same quality with high price tag. You get the same chair for 200 in ikea

@btodtv Месяц назад

If you are going to make outlandish claims like this, then you need to elaborate. Let’s pick a model from each brand. How is the IKEA Markus the same chair as the Steelcase Leap? Let’s start with specifically the build quality since that is what you commented on. -Ryan

I went from a DXRacer to an Embody and man, that experience was night and day. In the DX, my back started hurting after a year of use due to it wearing out. I have the Embody for 2 years now and it still feels as comfortable as the day I got it. Sure, it's not cheap, but ergo chairs are an investment into one's long-term health. I rather paid the money for a good chair than worry about searching for a chiropractor later.

@firetruck988 8 месяцев назад

I've not been able to make office chairs work, perhaps due to my height? Gaming chairs just seem more comfortable (at least for me), and I like the feeling of being held in place like in a car. I seem to be able to sit in car seats (bucket, not rear bench) for long periods without discomfort too. That being said maybe I haven't tried an expensive enough office chair to give them a fair shot?

@bruhaha69 11 месяцев назад

Couldn't agree more. I'm not a big guy but I have chronic back pain. My wife bought the Logitech/ Herman Miller embody for me as a 40th birthday gift. I'd say there was probably a two week period getting the chair adjusted to how I liked it, but after that it's easily been the best chair I've ever sat in. Getting out of that. Majorly reduces back and hip aches. Mighty pricey but so worth it for your back and hips

@bruhaha69 11 месяцев назад

@user-rr9ic3xb6z How long did you try it for? For my first 2 weeks, I was unsure I liked it at all for the same reason, but once I got the back adjusted right, I couldn't love it any more than I do now. For me, it was about 2 weeks to get it just right.

As someone who has Braum racing seats in my car, I have no issue with bucket seat designs. I never really thought they were a hindrance or restricted movement where ir counts. The only thing of note about bucket seats is that in a car, the seat traps heat rather well but I don't imagine this being an issue in an office or room.

@KaoruSugimura 5 месяцев назад

I find it odd that they choose the cheaper/less comfy for long sessions office chairs when gaming chairs can easily exceed $500. At that price you can get a good EXECUTIVE office chair that is very well padded and will last much longer than any gaming chair. It's just weird that every yt chamnel trying to compare them always goes to the bare ass wore mesh chairs rather than the executive vhaors you often see in professional settings and in movies. It's like they are trying hard to make the gamer chairs look like a good value until you see even a half decent executive office chair makes them look cheap.

@asdfTheGreat 3 дня назад

I've never in my life seen an office chair that can twist. Why would you need the back of your chair to twist? One hell of a marketing gimmick though, which is probably why you did it so many times in the video, because you know it's going to impress regular people who don't go to showrooms/dealers to buy $500+ office chairs. I'm really struggling to find a chair though. I'd love to try out all these fancy chairs but there's nowhere near me. This is the #1 problem with chairs and couches, you have to try them out. There should be an office chair warehouse that has ALL the chairs.
