I apologize guys I accidentally deleted the follow up video but the quick version is Secretlab honored their warranty and sent me out all the replacement parts to resolve all issues essentially giving me a brand new chair. They took care of me and I'm confident they'll do the same for you. I don't talk about it much but I live with an incurable illness that's forced me to rely on my RU-vid channel as my only source of income to survive. That said PLEASE consider using my links in the description - it not only helps the channel but helps keep my life afloat. BIG THANK YOU to those that do.

I don't know why I'm watching these videos again, after my spinal cord injury, in the hospital post surgery I ordered a secret lab titan and it's the most comfortable piece of furniture I own. I love my titan, I'm at the cabin now sitting in the couch and my back is killing me. As soon as I get home, I'm ordering another one to take to the cabin. If I ever accept an office position my first order of business will be to order another titan for my work station. I love this chair.

@jbountalas Год назад

I've had the cookies and cream version for about two months. My previous chair was an office chair from a big box store, so there there was definitely an acclimatization phase going on. The cloth seems to be industrial strength durable and the chair is firm to the point of having very little give. I've had no weird noises, and I've grown to like the chair, but if you're looking for cushy, this is not the one, but if you're looking for a high performance chair, I"d say this is it.

@JacobDarkOfficial Год назад

@brodakarat6340 Год назад

I'm coming from a sheet of plywood with a half inch of cheap foam and fabric over the top, idk what brand and the back (held on by metal) has somehow snapped off before and been repaired with a makeshift steel rod jammed up the hollow shaft that holds it on. So i think any chair will be squishier than my current one. I've ordered this chair and can't wait for it to arrive.

That noise on the piston is the vibration of plastic touching the pivot. If his setting is lowest, removing the smaller plastic cylinder (or cutting a bit of height) might resolve the issue without exposing the piston much from dust.

@mc-ph6ei Год назад

I just received a Secretlab Titan EVON Titan Leatherette in Black. The box was well padded, instructions were very clear, but what these reviews don’t mention is the formaldehyde like smell from the chair materials. I’m currently airing it out and hopefully the strong nauseating smell will disappear. Overall, the materials are sturdy, good framing, but the lumbar support looks lame. I’ll have to try it out for at least a week or two to determine if it justifies the $580 price tag. Good luck

@gcookz86 Год назад

The #1 reason (maybe only reason) I decided go to with a different standing desk instead of Secret Labs' Magnus was because I did not like the very limited and specific selection of desk pads they offered. They're basically proprietary - and I wanted a wood grain look to my desk. Uplift for me in the end.. but you nailed it on this comment.

@benjaminasracas4525 Год назад

I though the desk was joke :D , like why would you spend 500€ on a desk that doesnt even have automatic movement

I bought a generic 4 position memory standing desk bottom, and then bought a wood countertop that looks really nice and dark. Only cost me maybe $60 for the desk top, was great.

@DAVD305 10 месяцев назад

I thought the same thing ….till I noticed why… 1) Cable Management built in, 2) Premium Magnet Desk Mat, 3) Eco System that you can easily Manage I on the fly, Headsets, Control Position of Mouse and Keyboard Cable, plus many more, 4) Full Metal Legs and Top seems to be wrapped in metal but has some other board material as desk top, either way it’s built like a tank not warping at all, 5) Free RGB Lighting strip if your into that, 6) Excellent Spacing and desk feels Top Quality……………If you want standing which I absolutely don’t need in my life as this is a gaming desk for me. Their standing has a nice desktop mount. Keeps all with great cable management. So yeah I totally think it’s worth standing or not. Now Gaming Chairs idk I think they all get destroyed eventually from the heavy use. Atleast Secret Labs is the only one I see that has a Eco system for their chairs if you need a replacement part.

hey jacob, what is your opinion on the armrest? is this fixable?

@DrivenKeys Год назад

Thanks Jacob, your videos helped me decide on this chair. If you look closely, some of the less expensive competition uses the same parts, so you can spend 60-130 less for something very similar, but it isn't worth sacrificing the warranty support of the Secretlab branded chairs. Secretlab's less expensive company offers the same warranty coverage in print, but the only online reviews I found said customer support was lacking compared to Secretlabs. They seem to have cornered the market, you only need one part to go bad to justify the extra upfront expense.

@JacobDarkOfficial Год назад

I have the 2020 model and been using it for 2 years now and haven't had any issues with it, I'll probably upgrade to a newer version in 2 to 3 years. I definitely found the chair too firm when I first starting using, But after about a week, I found it super comfortable and have no issues with comfort now. I was just used to soft chair which is why I found it uncomfortable at first.

I got tired of buying those cheap Amazon “big and tall” chairs that aren’t the most comfortable and end up crapping out after 1-2 years so I got me this titan evo xl. Absolutely love it, but also having problems. Armrests aren’t very solid - they shake very easily and one time when I supported myself on the right one to get up, it slid all the way down which hurt my ego quite a bit but that’s beside the point. For $600ish dollars I expect there to not be any kind of problems arising - especially not when I’ve only had the damn thing for 2 weeks

My biggest issue with office chairs, is it's always that cheap ass glued on leather that cracks in literally a few weeks. I like the NAPA leather option but it'll still probably be a cheap leather so was going to look at this clothe one. That's my biggest thing. I put a "Purple" Seat cushion on my chairs regardless because is just such an incredible product. A cushion that 5 years on is as firm and soft as day one. I really recommend checking those out for anyone who wants a good seat cushion for the truck, gaming chair or for travel

Wouldn't call it soft and borderline uncomfortable honestly, haha. Debating returning it. I put a big Purple cushion on it and now the seat is uber soft and it built me up 2" so the lumbar support actually touches my lumbar region hah.

With a quick wipe down this chair looks the same as the day I bought it. I'm also 6' 260lbs and sweat like an icecube in an oven. I wouldn't worry about the leather at all, had a cloth omega chair and got rid of it in a week due to how hot it was.

That dust on your legs during the piston noise part is why the top is looking dirty. You only have to grab a white chair a few times to cause that. But if no one else is in the room using the chair….. you are grabbing the top. White is a tough choice.

I am looking at buying a new chair for my miniature painting. I have broken 3 chairs over the last 4 years, all failed in the same way: the hole that the piston fits in on the tilt mechanism, I snap the metal and the welds around that hole. I am a body builder, I weigh almost 18 stone/114kg/251lbs so I need a strong chair, but I can't find any information regarding whether there is reinforcement around the problem area on Secretlabs XL chairs. Their chat wasn't much help, either. They told me that the piston is heavier duty compared to their regular chair, but I don't have any problems with the piston itself, just where it fits into the tilt mechanism. I'm not sure whether it is worth spending almost £600 on the chair if all they upgrade is the piston.

@JacobDarkOfficial 14 дней назад

While I don't weigh as much as you what I can say is through my personal experience owning multiple chairs and all the complaints I've ever seen online, I've never seen anyone have your specific problem with the tilt mechanism.

I’ve been searching for help with this chair and I thought I would leave a comment about my issue with their chair. I spent a whole career sitting in a vehicle or office chair with no issues. When I retired I bought myself one of these expensive “gaming” chairs for comfort while sitting at my computer for long hours. Since getting this chair I have so far had 3 nasty episodes of an issue called “sit pain”. This is when you start feeling nasty pain in one or more of your sit bones which are connected to the biggest ligaments in your body. Apparently what is causing this is the angle of the seat. The actual seat is tilted back, not flat and is unable to be tilted forward or even flat like an office chair. This puts long term strain on the ligaments as your hips or sit bones are lower than your knees. I’ve been searching everywhere for a solution. Apparently we are not meant to spend long hours in a racing car type seated position. I’m at the point now where I may have to replace the chair.

@JacobDarkOfficial 3 месяца назад

Sorry to hear that. If you're looking for a new chair that should be comfortable try a Herman Miller Sayl when on sale. Pricy but the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in back in my office days. Chairs are like mattresses so it's hard to know if it's going to work for you without using it day to day. For me the Titan Evo remains my daily chair as it's worked out for me, but again, there is no one chair solution for everyone.

I feel like Secretlabs is big enough to let us customize the desk. Like you said, different desktops, colors, etc. and different colors for the chairs too. I see theyve released covers now for the seats so if they released different colors that would be cool. Cheaper than buying a whole new chair and cheaper for them too.

Since they updated to the evo I just think in a few years they are going to "upgrade" again and move away from the inconsistant pistons- too many moving parts.

@Sessionsjc 16 дней назад

Interesting to talk about quality when only after 1 year of use there are creaks and noises. I've had a cheap office depot chair which granted isn't very comfortable, but has been rock solid for about 3 years and is still in the same condition as when I bought it. The warranty is good, but the best warranty is the one you never have to use. I expect some issues with cheaper chairs, but spending $500+ and having issues...no thanks.

@JacobDarkOfficial 11 месяцев назад

The chair in this video was a first generation. I've since had the replacement softweave and now a leatherette and have been fine with both. After using both I feel like the leatherette is a bit more comfortable and think the key is to buy a leatherette and put a sleeve over it which is what I've done. Got a white Stromtrooper leatherette with a black skin over so I can match any setup I put together. If you decide to buy it helps the channel so much when you use my link
