The only review of this chair I've seen where someone has actually covered lots of practicality. I also can't believe I just watched someone talk about a chair for 18 minutes! Subbed!
Ohhhh yeahhhh! Thanks for the sub!!
I just found you cause i wanted to buy that chair and when the video ended i subscribed immediately. Great video , you deserve more subscribers sir!
Thank you so much!!! Thanks for the sub!!!
Best review I've watched man. Thanks!
Appreciate it!!!
Thanks for the honest reviews!
You spelled ahnest wrong. ;)
I subbed after listening without skipping. Your review so practical up to the description of the lumbar pillow which no reviewers bother to address properly. (i can also read product specs like all normal reviewers). Besides, I also have to make a purchasing decision between Andaseat Kaiser and Secretlab Titan Evo 2022. Your video definitely helped me in taking notes.
I recommend the titan evo hands down. I'm reviewing one now and it's def the better choice. If you're able, please use my link as it helps a lot! Thank you for the kind words!!!
Great review. I just picked up the Dark Knight. AndaSeat is a very comfortable seat.
perfect chair..i will order it from my retailer in Greece..nice review
Αδελφέ δεν ξέρω άμα την αγόρασες αλλά με την καραντινα όλες οι τιμές έχουν πάει στο Θεό. Σου προτείνω να περιμένεις με το νέο έτος. Χρόνια πολλά καλά Χριστούγεννα
@@Elpokopiko98 xronia polla kala xristougenna kai se sena bro..nai tin agorasa..250 euro apo skroutz..ala ta aksizi ta lefta tis kai me to parapano..ine top piotita
Γειά σας . Επειδή ενδιαφέρομαι για την συγκεκριμένη καρέκλα , μπορείτε να μου πείτε αν έχει οντως καλή στήρηξη στη μέση ?
@@noschavlogs336 Καλησπέρα αδερφε, ψήνομαι να την αγοράσω μετά από ένα έτος πως σου φαίνεται?
Great review. You don't come over as a Fan boy (for either chairs.) Appreciate that you discuss things I would enjoy and things that might annoy me (so I can decide if I might like it.)
Hey appreciate those kind words! Yeah I try to be as objective as possible for these reviews unless a brand really pull some shady crap that makes that difficult, like Apple removing their wall warts
Just purchased! Thanks!
You're very welcome!
UNDERRATED AF
Seriously appreciate these kind words!!! Gives me the energy to keep going!
In re: the neck pillow: I saw a short video with a company rep talking about the chair at a convention. He had the strap hung over the top of the chair so he could pop it on and off easily, and it rested in the same spot yours does. That might be a good option for that issue.
Very interesting
Just ordered the Kaiser 2 will be perfect for my stocky 6’7” body !! Gotta say to review these large chairs you need to be big!!
I just ordered some growth pills on a totally not shady legit looking website.
John, did you get the chair? How was it?
@SJT Productions yes I did and was the best choice the chair is built like a tank
@@johnholmes125 with your size, giving that comment... I've just ordered one🤗
I like how you make such a casual review and it's still a good review, not everyone can do that. It's probably because of your sympathy. 👉👈 😂👍
I appreciate that emki!!!
I'm 25st and trying to loose weight but this chair is a game changer 🙌
when you guy sit and move back and forth,is the base of the chair moving/tilting back a bit or is it steady? mine is moving and i dont know if i have done something wrong
A piece of velcro on the back of the lumbar pillow and on the chair would solve the problem with it falling down
14:26 this. This is the only thing that matters to me. I’ve researched HUNDREDS of gaming chairs and ergonomic that pulls this off. From the dxracing all the way to Logitech’s new gaming ergonomic chair. I’m finally sold.
I do have a question tho. I do hope it’s very similar to the kaiser 1 cos that’s the only one available to me right now
Stay tuned. Secret lab chairs have the feature as well. Review coming very soon
@@Ahnestly do you think the Kaiser 1 is the same size as Kaiser 2 btw ? I’d appreciate the feedback 😭
I actually don't know :( I'd read the specs to find out!
The gaming chair gauntlet series: Aeron 1 - Gaming 0
Secret labs is up next!
IS going to be ALWAYS like that, gaming chairs are so unnatural for sitting.
The Aeron better win, considering it can cost upwards of 3x as much. Still, if you weight more than 300lbs, you're better off spending the 500 for the Kaiser than hoping your 1000-1500 dollar Aeron is stronger than advertised at 300lbs.
Great video. I was wondering if there are any other options instead of the Aeron. I am in the market for a new chair, but I don’t sit in my chair enough to buy one, and buying used isn’t what I want to do currently. Thank you
I want to check out other chairs, but a lot of these companies don't respond back to me. Even Secret Labs took like 2.5 months to get back to me. Let me know if there are any specific ones you're eyeing!
Although I am currently looking for another chair for my home office, I'm heavily leaning toward 1 more mesh breathing chair. Great reviews.
I like this chair, I really do that being the Anda seat and I know Aerons are really comfratable but for 400 I can get a skyhawk from LF gaming. The reason I would pick the skyhawk over Anda seat is simple, it's not to gamery and it looks like a true ergonomic chair with a leather seat. This company makes chairs that cost almost 2 Grand and while, I would never pay 2 grand for a gaming chair I have a little bit more security knowing that this company has invested so much in making high end chairs. The skyhawk is priced at 445 but with there coupon it is 400 with shipping and that's 100 less than a Anda seat.
Anda seat is for tall boys mostly but this is a great review
Subbed. Came here for the chairs (just happen to be on the market), but honestly I spend more time watching tech videos. Your main Aeron review had some serious production quality, which I know is a lot of work. Anyway thanks for contrasting the two chairs. The “leather” on the Anda Seat is just a PVC faux leather which is at least better than the bonded leather on the $150-$400 chairs I’m used to buying/using (of course *real* leather is far too expensive to put into a chair that size for only $450). One reason why I like the Aeron since it still provides comfort but without the cost issues like you get with leather (plus some other benefits, e.g. cooler and good airflow); cost with that chair comes from other things. I was looking at a fully (real) leather chair with similar size, comfort levels and configurability to that Anda Seat but it was in the price range of $4k 😏 Can buy a lot of Anda Seats for that much.
Hahah the Secret Lab Napa Leather is only $800! I really like the Secret Lab chair....review should be out in the next 1-2 weeks depending on my work schedule...
@@Ahnestly Now that would be nice. I had Napa Leather in my Genesis G80. So supple, so nice. Definitely something I’d enjoy lounging in all day, for sure.
For 160° usage, can we use it for a long time ? especially for 90kg body.
How does this compare to the ewin flash xl? Which one would you choose and why?
If you want to buy the best and most comfortable Anda Seat you have to buy this one ANDA SEAT Gaming Chair T-PRO II. It's the same body with Kaiser 2 but much more comfortable and adjustable.
I'm thinking of going with the Anda seat t-pro 11 .Do you have one at all?
Gorgeous. Just bought the maroon
Noice!
6'6 280lbs , this is finally what i need
Must be nice to be that tall....#shortlegs4lyf :-p
How do you feel about the Embody ? Trying to decide between Secret Labs / Embody / Aeron at the moment.
I am testing a secret labs now. For my back, the Aeron still takes it but secret labs is a really great chair, especially for the lean back feature when consuming media. I can't say about the embody...I haven't used it :( I will say nothing beats mesh when it comes to breathability
@@Ahnestly Thanks for such a quick, detailed response. Look forward to your secret labs review.
I noticed in some other photos of the new models, there are straps to hold up the lower lumber cushion. Was there anything else in the box?
Nope. There would be nowhere to put the straps either. The kaiser 2 is one of their newer models too. Strange!
@@Ahnestly the photos I’ve seen on the AndaSeat Facebook page show the straps going through the two holes at the top and around the sides also. This is on the Fnatic model which is very similar to the Kaiser.
nice review! what about Anda Seat T-PRO black Fabric?
Thanks! I have no idea since I have never tried that chair!
Got mine today!Feels amazing!230 euros ^^
Nice price!
@@Ahnestly It was on discount :D
Hi, I'm currently thinking to buy a gaming chair and my choice would be secretlab omega or the anda seat kaiser 2 could you give an advice for this?
Depends on your size! I've only tried this one from Anda seat. Check out my review comparing this with the Omega!
Hi , Would you please tell me which kind of led tube are using behind you. Thanks
So that is a discontinued light there. I saw this and was really interested in picking a couple up. www.etsy.com/listing/764931039/line-neon-light-sign-led-custom-gift?gpla=1&gao=1&&Cj0KCQiAh4j-BRCsARIsAGeV12Aj48c9I0WchtKJKxahsN3SWIy1P2E3Q410Cqo9vDbbyIGaVaxgPRgaAqEyEALw_wcB_k_&gclid=Cj0KCQiAh4j-BRCsARIsAGeV12Aj48c9I0WchtKJKxahsN3SWIy1P2E3Q410Cqo9vDbbyIGaVaxgPRgaAqEyEALw_wcB
Hi! Do you have experience with the Kaiser 3? What are your thoughts please, and thank you!
I’m supposed to get it soon, but no concrete date :(
@@Ahnestly Aw...all the best on that!
I notice a lot of the new Anda chairs have straps for the Lumbar support pillow. Are you sure this one doesn’t come with them?
Nope. There would be nowhere to put the straps either. The kaiser 2 is one of their newer models too. Strange!
Ahnestly interesting. I’m from Australia. None of the chair makers are clear with what you get or what model is what. I’ve seen Fnatic versions with the strap and some without but there has only been one version. Weird. Thanks for replying!
Thanks for the video. Quick question: Do you know what size your aeron chair is? I have the aeron myself and would like to compare seat widths with the kaiser.
Yup! It's a size B
@@Ahnestly Thank you for the reply. I have the size C aeron at work and my hips are very big. So even with the size C aeron my thighs and hips almost cover the whole seat. I'm thinking of buying the fnatic edition of this chair and the angled sides have me worried that I might be uncomfortable with my hips brushing up against the angled sides-- are the sides soft enough that I wouldn't be uncomfortable? Again, thank you so much!
All raised sides on gaming chairs are extremely hard. This is why the titan evo 2022 is my gaming chair of choice - it got rid of those! Check out my sizing guide and if you decide to pick up, please consider using my links!! Helps the channel a lot!
@@Ahnestly Great, thank you!
Dude.... thank you so much for the backrest tip for tall people! I feel like an idiot now. I see yours has a little "wiggle" too when you rock in a locked position. I'm assuming this is normal and expected? I find it kind of annoying but I don't know if that's a build defect or if it's just faulty. I'd appreciate your help.
Yeah almost all chairs have a slight give! I imagine for the weight of this chair, you might have a bit more than most chairs!
@@Ahnestly alright, thank you! It really depends on how you sit, so I guess it is designed with a specific posture in mind.
Did you guys have to send the kaiser back or keep? ANychance you want to sell one? I need one but they are backordered till December?
I got to keep mine. I actually ended up giving it to one of my best friends whose been using a kitchen chair as his office chair
Ordering this chair in BMW red, strange that the lumbar support cushion don't have straps to adjust so it's not just sitting and sliding on the chair. I saw other reviews where the red did version did have the straps.
Yeah their chairs are all over the place haha.
Darn. And here i thought this might be the big boy chair for me. Every time i see your reviews i think ill find something besides a $1500 Aeron. The only other one that might work is the Omega.
Check out the mavix review. That chair might be worth considering, but imho, if you're going to spend $800-100, might as well get the warranty of a HM for a free hundred more...
@@Ahnestly lol. Yeah i checked out the Mavix review too after watching this one. KZhead algorithm suggested it.The downsides for the price killed it for me too.
Dang. At 6'5 250 a chair that would actually fit me!
Jealous. Doctors told me I'd be 6' tall...
Hey. At least the mic is better on the second chair review haha
Lol I was like godangitttt but thankfully it's just slightly muffled
Slightly late to the party here but I'm investigating a new chair for gaming and home office. I'm a chunky guy that's a bit wide-of-hip. Gaming chairs are notoriously narrow and it would appear that this chair is no different - with a seat width of 42cm excluding the wings (58cm including wings). Now I have an office chair that is 50cm wide before the plastic of the arm rest and that's just about enough to fit my frame. I want this chair though because of the PVC leather and the comfort levels. And just the overall quality, by the looks of it. So my question is simple - are the wings soft and flexible enough to not cause discomfort if pushed aside by a wider person?
They're softer than something like the Secret Lab chairs, but they're meant to "cup" you, not have you put your legs on them. I recommend you pick up a chair with a flat seat pan., which means gaming chairs may not be the right fit for you
@@Ahnestly Thank you for replying 😁 its a shame really because the chair looks so good and seems so comfortable in all the ways I want, and I'm struggling to find "reasonably priced" high-back office chairs that are comfortable, fit me, made of decent materials, and aren't gonna squeak or break 2 weeks after my admittedly heavy use. Great video though, thank you 😁
@@davidleewarner Did you ever find the right chair? I saw a gaming Chair on Amazon called "Von Racer." It has a flat seat pan and even has a built-in footrest.
@@Nigel__ went with the Secretlab Titan XL because the seat pan is much much more flat, and it's lovely. A little firm at first in general and you wonder to yourself how this is gonna be comfortable and then a week or so later you just wanna sit in it forever. 😁 Your mileage may vary, but I'm very happy with it, although I'm still a fan of the look of the Andaseat.
like for that cross sitting
What is the light that you're using on the left?
It’s called the quasar 175. It’s discontinued
there is so much rumble in the chair. It looks like it'll start wearing out in a year
Good review, but sounds like I'll be sticking with my Aeron
Thank you! If I'm being 10000% ahnest....I'm using my Aeron now, but every time I want to watch something, read something....I have this deep hole in my heart because I can't lean back....the longing is real
I reduce the tension in the spring, put my feet up on my desk and lean back in my Aeron when I want to watch or read something :) I tried out a few of the gaming chairs at local stores years ago but found all of them to be a waste of money. And it's not like they hold their resale value like the Aeron
You must have popeyes forearms.....I can only imagine how long it took you to get it that loose LOL. It's not the same though...man...we need to make a hybrid...seriously, would sell like hot cakes
What is the color of your aeron chair in this video?
Classic mineral I believe
Great video! The armrest are way to far sadly. Do people enjoying placing their hands so far away from their body? I hate it
I hear ya! There might be a way to adjust it under the chair - try removing the arms and see if there's a hole closer to the body!
SO where do I get those wheels?
Lol wish I knew!
Any andaseat dark knight users here? Is it the same as the kaiser 2 in build quality and dimensions?
What's the difference from the Kaiser 2 versus 3?
SO much is different. I reviewed the Kaiser 3 vs titan evo 2022. I picked the Kaiser 3. kzhead.info/sun/jM2rY7FvsaCqqGg/bejne.html
Are the wheels removable if i wanted to use this on tall carpeting
All wheels on any chair are removable!
great f review
Thank you!!
@@Ahnestly i want to get this chair i have found a beter version its caled Anda Seat Dark Knight it has biger and beter cutions on the back and head so it will eliminate the problem
While I am not a gamer, it sounds like it would be a great chair for the living room but not for sitting at a computer for an extended period of time. I would have thought that the needs of a gamer would be similar to the needs of someone working on a computer all day. For working on a computer all day, I need a chair that has great lumbar support and has good ventilation. Gaming chairs look cool but to me look like they were designed for style and not sitting at a computer for an extended period of time.
For sure!
Hp omen citadel instead the Anda seat.
I'm pretty small 4'9. do you think this chair is still going to be comfortable for smaller users?
I don't recommend it at 4'9. This chair is the XL of gaming chairs. You could tuck your legs in, but if you ever wanted a chair for long work sessions, it won't be the best fit
@@Ahnestly aww :( do you have any recommendations for chairs that would suit my height?
I would recommend you check out my Aeron video and see if you can find yourself a size A. Sometimes Size As are cheaper because the general population would use a size B/C. kzhead.info/sun/q5GalaiZf3t7lZE/bejne.html If you want a gaming chair, check out my review of the Secret Lab Omega!
@@Ahnestly Awesome! thank you
Bro How to contact them for Sponsorship
Not sure - they emailed me
What size Aeron was that?
Size B
Hey Dude, I checked the price of Aeron before I bought one kaiser 2, Aeron costs about $1000!!!, It is not fair to compare a $479 gaming chair product with another $1000 ergo chair. My friend told me to buy some second-hand Aeron, but I can not accept the chairs with other guys' sweat and fart smell...😫. The gaming chair is not so outstanding in terms of ergonomic design when compares to Aeron, but it definitely worths the price!
The only reason I Compared them was because I made a video on how to get an aeron used and it blew up to half a million views, so just wanted to compare it with what I know. I’ve never used a gaming chair, so I was just comparing the 2 for fun, not a serious comparison!
@Ahnestly Good video, thank you for your share! but I prefer to see some comparison reviews between different gaming brands... there are too many brands like secretlab, andaseat, akracing, noblechair, that would be the real comparison at the same level. 😀
does anyone know of any unstuck anywhere online to buy currently?
Wish I knew :-\ however, I'll say this...unless you're a big dude, get a Secret Lab!
mine anda have for the half pilar grabs like necks !!!! how your chair didnt have !!!
Not sure what this is saying here
i realise you can't rest your feet entirely flat on the floor. May I know what's your height? My height is 174 cm. I wonder if i were to use the Kaiser 2, can I rest my feet flat on the floor?
I am about 5'6 and have short legs...if you're taller, you should be OK. Otherwise, get a foot rest, which is fairly cheap. I recommend a foot rest for most people though
@@Ahnestly thank you for the reply and of course, this review.
This looks exactly like the razer chair. Anyone else think so???
Bro, how tall are you?
5’6
Aeron vs Cosm
You are buying an ergonomic chair to support your back! Never sit in 'double cross' position, it will destroy your knees in no time!
I am a very Hot person - Dan Ahn
Those are words to live by
Come on man, no gaming chair is even close to a Herman Miller lol
Unless the gaming chair IS a Herman Miller chair...dun dun DUNNNN. It's true, but I realize the gaming chair has its place in the chair world
It's still made from a material that doesn't breathe and will eventually end up cracking. The pillow elastic will end up sagging. The setup encourages slouching. And the last thing I want is furniture covered in giant corporate logos. Hard pass.
All good points!
political correct youtuber: 2:35 "nothing wrong with weighting 350pounds"
Any racing chair is trash :)
They have their niche for sure, but it isn't an ergonomic solution for sure!
I lost respect for you for even considering a gaming chair is comparable to an aeron or other ergo task chairs.
Lol I'm a reviewer, not herman miller's CEO
@@Ahnestly he just reviewing bro
😂
Disgusting. They produce top level chairs only for tall.
