Verdict - Titan Evo is a comfortable chair

The Secretlab Titan Evo is a high-quality gaming chair that doubles as a solid work chair thanks to its built-in lumbar support. Overall comfort is excellent: the neck pillow, the adjustable lumbar system, and the wide range of customization options all contribute to long, comfortable sitting sessions. You can stay in this chair for hours without noticeable discomfort.

Pros

+ high-quality design
+ stable construction
+ comfortable
+ available in multiple sizes
+ wide adjustment range
+ neck cushion included
+ many designs and accessories available

Cons

- slight looseness in the armrests
- different base models can be inconvenient if multiple people share the chair

The armrests offer a wide range of adjustments, and the magnetic pads are easy to swap out. However, the mechanism has a bit of play, and the armrests produce a faint rattling noise that undermines the otherwise premium feel. This is an area that could definitely use refinement. On the plus side, Secretlab provides a large selection of designs and accessories.

With an RRP of €549, the Titan Evo isn’t cheap, but you do get a sturdy, high-quality chair in return. It also comes in three size variants, allowing buyers to match the chair to their body type. That said, the size-specific models can be inconvenient if the chair is shared among multiple people.

Price and availability

In the EU, the RRP of the Secretlab Titan Evo in the XL size and the Black Neo Hybrid synthetic leather version is €599. However, the current Christmas sale knocks €50 off the price.

The Singapore-based manufacturer Secretlab has been known for its gaming chairs for years, entering the market in 2015. A few months ago, we examined the height-adjustable Magnus Pro XL desk desk, and now we’ve also tested the Titan Evo gaming chair in detail. Our unit is the regular size in black with the Neo Hybrid synthetic leather, priced at an RRP of €549. Alternatively, the chair is also available in two other sizes: Small (€549) and XL (€599).

Titan Evo overview

Secretlab offers the Titan Evo in a wide range of configurations. In addition to the different size options, buyers can choose between several materials, including Neo Hybrid synthetic leather, SoftWeave fabric, and NanoGen Hybrid synthetic leather. A broad selection of designs is also available, from plain black to e-sports and game-inspired themes, so most users should find something that fits their taste. Secretlab also provides an extensive lineup of accessories, such as a leg rest, cooling-gel armrest toppers, and matching chair covers.

What’s in the box and assembly

Alongside the chair itself, the package includes all necessary tools and a memory-foam neck cushion that attaches magnetically. Assembly is straightforward and can be completed by one person in about 20 minutes.

Practical impression

In our black test model, the Titan Evo leaves a very high-quality impression, with the backrest also finished in the same hybrid synthetic leather. The material feels solid, and microfiber inserts on the inside of the seat base and the front edge of the backrest add a nicer touch. Secretlab equips the chair with very smooth, quiet casters, and we had no trouble moving it on either tile or carpet.

Adjusting the chair to our preferred height was straightforward. The backrest locks at multiple angles, and the entire seat can be tilted continuously. Everything works well overall, though there is a slight amount of play between the seat cushion and the frame when tilting. The built-in lumbar support can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally using two dials.

The two armrests can be adjusted in height, depth, and width. The mechanism works reliably, but there is a persistent rattling noise that detracts from the overall premium feel. The armrest pads are magnetically attached and can be swapped out as needed. The included neck cushion also attaches magnetically to the top of the backrest, and we quickly got used to it. The fast adjustment is especially practical, since changing sitting positions throughout the day is common. Thanks to the wide recline range of the backrest, you can virtually lie down, and the neck cushion remains very comfortable in that position. If you don’t need it, you can simply remove it.

When we first sat down, the seat cushion felt a bit too firm, but this changed after a few hours. After several weeks of testing, we can say that the Titan Evo is a very comfortable chair overall, suitable for working or gaming for long stretches without discomfort. One thing we cannot yet evaluate is how the synthetic leather will behave during hot summer temperatures.
