Have been in the market for two new chairs as we’ve slowly been upgrading our home office and doing it to a high spec. Chair has been the hardest choice and this channel is helping a lot! (Also making it hard with learning about all these great chairs we never heard of before!!) but thank you so much for your in depth reviews. My wife and I have been watching a large amount of your back catalogue and will definitely use your links to purchase a chair if the links to the chair we want works in the UK!
Nice!!! One thing to keep in mind, as I always tell people - start with ones you can return first! Appreciate your support and kind words!!!
Thank you for all the time you spent to give us this information. It ultimately ended my months long search for a chair and saved me a bunch of money too. I appreciate you!
Thank you sir, your chair expertise has been very helpful
Wow this is Amazing! Ahnestly I just wanted to thank you for your review. Right now I'm sitting in my new anda seat kaiser 3 Flyquest special edition.this is my first gaming chair and I don't regret it, but most of all that 10% discount helped so much.Thank you.
Glad to see you give andaseat some love! I've got the Dark Knight and it's one of the best chairs I've ever sat in.
Dude. It’s seriously pretty damn good Hahaha
For gaming and some occasional office work, would you go with the kaiser 3 or the leap v2? I'm 5'7 and 130 pounds if that matters. Thanks and great video!
This was a very useful video, and thank you for having your tall friend give his opinion as well. I am the same weight and height as him and honestly that helped greatly with making my decision.
Nice!! Glad you found it helpful!!
Thank you for the review
Just wanted to say I used your code to get a pink Kaiser 3 and im so excited! Your video is the one that ultimately convinced me to get this model instead of others in the market with a similar price range.
Nice!! Let me know what you think! Super excited!
I hope it works for you, I am in the process of returning the Kaiser 3 because the lumbar support is terrible in my opinion, digs into , rather that supporting your back. It's the most uncomfortable seat in terms of back support that I've ever sat in. I can't believe it gets such good reviews.
@@spencer5123 Thank you for mentioning this as I was still trying to decide between these and something else. I already have issues with my tailbone, so learning about the sore lumbar, I think I'll be giving it a pass.
I'm not sold on the styling of the Anda, but definitely think I'll be picking up one of these chairs for my second desk (separating the WFH life with the gaming life). I'd love to see a long test of the Anda, since even the thickest seats can deflate uncomfortably.
Styling the anda looks gorgeous compared to the other
i've had a anda seat for 5 years. Padding in seat is still perfect.
@@CRIMSON3079glad to know! I just bought mine and assembled it yesterday. Hope it stays this nice for a long time.
You might want to sit on one for a few hours first. Don't buy it direct coz I read on the reviews elsewhere that you won't be able to return it. I sat on the kaiser 3 for a few days, the seat was the best ever but the back was hard and not ergonomic for me, the lumbar support mechanism was not good, the head cushion pushes your head too forward giving you a neckache and when you remove it the back of the seat is hard on your head. I got more comfort and was able to sit longer on my head height office chair that has foam for cushioning. Also you will need to get those rollerblade wheels coz the wheels given are plastic, and the seat does not raise that high. I really did not want to return it but I had to. We all have different body shapes to be honest and alot of people are really satisfied but I, along with a very few, are regretting g it.
Shout out to the homie Luke for coming through clutch for the tall fellas here. My exact hight and weight - helped a ton. Hope the leg's better by now man, great review - subbed!
Thank you!!! Luke's the man!! And knee is like 85%! Thanks for asking!
Thanks man. I really like the Superman trim on the EVO.
You did an awesome job with this video. I am ordering the Kaiser today and will use your code
Yoo thank you so much!!! Really appreciate it!!
@@Ahnestly ended up buying two. Your discount code saved me like 90 bucks. Thanks man.
You like them?
@@tepidlost yea man they are amazing quality. The stitching is excellent and the build is high quality. We replaced Secret Labs which is literally a concrete slab with fabric. These are very comfortable, tons of custom adjustments and overall an outstanding chair. I could not be happier.
Glad you love it dude!!! Thanks for using my link!!!
Great video! So I have a herniated disc in my lower back. I like the look of the Kaiser and that it is a larger chair (I am 6'2" around 200 lbs), but it sounds like the Titan would be better for my back which honestly is the most import thing. Do you think the permanent lump in the Kaiser would be a bad thing for those that struggle with lower back pain?
I would say it may not be noticeable enough to hurt a herniated disc. For overall comfort, I recommend the Kaiser 3 over the Evo 2022! The back is also harder on the evo 2022! If you're not glued to the idea of a racing style gaming chair, I always recommend a more traditional office chair to folks with more severe back issues. With the higher end chairs and David Crandall, you also get free returns, which the racing style gaming chairs don't offer! There are a lot around the same price range! Here's my full guide for 2022: kzhead.info/sun/l6mHns-EhGOHdWg/bejne.html If you decide to pick up something, please consider using my links! Helps the channel a LOT! And keep me posted!!
7:40 this is what I was looking for, a lot of the "plushie" cushions just heat up and become so soft you bottom out or the shape of the seat becomes wrong. Firmer aught to be better to an extent. Been watching your for a while now you're so good at this. Jealous :)
Hope you have a speedy recovery
I just had ACL surgery as well on the same leg you did. Looking for a new seat and I really appreciate your commentary on these!
No problem! Hoping you a speedy and smooth recovery!! I'm still having issues with my left knee a year later...I guess that's just par for the course :-(
@@Ahnestly after all this time do you think the chair makes a difference between how long you can sit after that kind of surgery? Are you still regularly using one of these two chairs? Sorry to hear you are still having trouble. I am currently about 2.5 months post op and should be able to be done with the brace in the next week or so. Return to sport will take much longer but at least free of this thing.
@@EagleMitch yeah that brace is a PIA. I am a chair reviewer, so I test chairs continually. I will say that I enjoy the chair every time I sit in it, but it’s not my favorite. My favorite is a very expensive chair haha. Check out my latest 2023 chair buying guide for all my recommendations (the Kaiser 3 is there as well!)
@@Ahnestly thanks and will do! Hope you keep progressing in your recovery as well and thanks for the info!
@@EagleMitch thank you!! If you decide to pick up anything, please consider using my links! Helps the channel a LOT!!!
Great video! Let me ask you, what kind of shoes do you use? They seem very comfy
Brooooooo. Here’s the link: geni.us/LQifjA Best slippers ever. Being Asian, I never wore shoes in the house and never understood why my non Asian friends did it. Now I understand. I go sockless in the summer and my feet stay dry. Wear them in the winter with socks and feet stay warm. Pricey, but WORTH it. If you decide to pick up, please use my link as it gives me a TINY commission!
No reviewer had said this but when I was attaching the base of the Andaseat Kaiser 3 you can remove the arms and move them up. They have holes under the chair to do that. I am guessing this is for people who may buy that desk or tray attachment. I have yet to see it for sell.
Finally a locking chair that has the features I need. FYI preordering with your code, but do you recommend the fabric or pleather? I want whatever is more comfortable that I can sit in the chair for 4-8 hours
I wish I had a fabric to test out but I personally would prefer fabri!!
@@Ahnestly I’ll give you some input once I get mine in
@@TheJensenfromparty hey bro did the chair come in? is it comfortable what are your opinions? Also if you did get fabric does the chair smell?
@@flyinggorilla7108 Yea the chair came in a while ago. Super comfy, the fabric is similar to to female business pants but sturdier. The fabric doesn’t smell like anything other than new clothes. I’m 5’6” and it’s just low enough for me to flat foot but doesn’t go much lower. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the recline spring is really weak, you kinda have to encourage it to move after you lift the lever. All in all it’s a great chair for the price with inconveniences that I can be ok with. Spent a few weeks deciding on what chair that I can sit with my legs folded that can recline all the way back while being stable and happy I got this one
how well does the secretlabs headrest work on the andaseat kaiser 3??
Glad you're recovering well, also what are those slippers?? They look helllla comfy
That’s what I want to know! Lol!
I made a video on it bc so many people asked! Hahaha
Hey Dan! I am about to buy the kaiser but I don't know it there is a difference between the material ín comfort. Im thinking on a "non leather" Seat but im worried about its softness. What do you Think? Should I choose the leather or the softweave
I can’t say for certain but I would prefer fabric. Faux leather is prone to cracking and less breathable! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my link + coupon code! Helps the channel a lot! Let me know how it goes!
Hi! Anda Seat Kaiser 3 or Noblachairs Legend? 173 cm heigh, 70 kg
I can't seem to pick between these two, the Andaseat Phantom 3 (cheaper but still decently sized) or the Nouhause Ergo3d. My main issue is I have a bad tailbone and have to perch on the front of my crappy $100 office chair (with my purple cushion) in order to do much of anything. This is very bad posture and cuases a lot of burning in my shoulders and back (for obvious reasons) but I can't seem to get comfortable. The chair I have also has a mesh back, so when I try to sit back, the plastic frame digs into my right shoulder, especially while using the mouse. The Nouhause looks good because the back is a lot higher, the chair also seems more open vs the 'gaming' type chairs, but the hard frame has me concerned. Any advice?
If you have a bad tailbone, I wouldn't recommend either. I would go for a used Steelcase Amia at Crandall Office! Check out my video here - kzhead.info/sun/pdahkthuh6Vmdac/bejne.html and the link to Crandall Office will be in the description!
@@Ahnestly Looks like they don't have any in my price range right now. I'll have to keep a look out or save up. Thank you for the help. I appreciate it.
Hi Dan, your video did the final push to choose Kaiser 3, but I don't know what size is better for me. My parameters are 6" and 210lbs. I can buy XL size in my country easily, but size L not and cause i'm in the overlap of these sizes it is very hard to choose without try of them. What do you think, which could be better L or XL? Thanks in advance, R.
Hey! I think you could probably go with XL. It would be nice to have that extra space in the chair as well! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links! Helps the channel a LOT!
how are these considered tall chairs? they are so short. is there any way to make them taller?
Hey, Not sure if you have this chair laying around but it's the X-Wing MGMT Chair by X-Chair. Can you review it? I see thousands of people review other chairs but no one has done this one. I am 6'2. Thxs Awesome vid btw. 👍
Don’t buy x chair. Watch my mavix review. Same chair basically
couldn't help but notice you using glerups slippers. they are so damn comfortable, I have the ones with a leather outsole
Dam the kaiser 3 isn't sold in Canada. I'm currently looking for a softer chair compared to my Aeron due to a sit bone injury. I bought a leap but that was still too hard for me. Was looking at a 2022 secretlab titan evo since the seat was flat, but was scared off due to people saying it's even firmer than most officer chairs. (And the squeaking/wobbly arm rests.)
Does the link for 15% off still work? It doesnt seem to work for me.
You should do another review on the Kaiser 3. Curios to see how the seat held up. In the market for a new chair and Kaiser looks good but I don't want to invest on something that will deflate and feel like cardboard in the long run! I do work from home and game so I'll be sitting for more than 8hrs on it so just curious about it.
Also would like to know. I have the same concerns
Hey all, so bc I’m a solo creator and constantly reviewing chairs, I don’t get a lot of time to do longer term reviews. I will say it’s one of my favorite chairs to take a nap on at the studio when I need a power nap to get through the day and the long drive home from the studio. I have some ideas I want to execute (for example, sending chairs home with friends to sit on for longer periods of time and then asking their thoughts), but it’s not easy to do! I hear all the feedback and want to continue evolving in content ideas, so appreciate your feedback!
I have had the Kaiser 2 for over a year and it still looks and feels like new
Anda Seat chairs do not deflate, their cushioning is supreme.. I own one.
Is it also suitable for slim people?
Can anybody weigh in on how the Andaseat cushion feels after a few hours?
First of all, I was very happy with how fast this item was delivered. kzhead.infoUgkxYR69rUVDfF56JHQRldV2uJeXaPA9LTZW It came a day before the listed delivery date, which was super great! I was able to assemble it myself with no difficult and I am not an engineer or a put-it-together expert. The chair is super comfortable, I play video games for roughly 3-4 hours at a time and it does not make my back hurt or neck hurt. The Reclining function actually surprised me because it goes very low, you could fall asleep on it ( and in fact i have while laying on it with a foot rest for my legs). The red is a bold choice and I usually stay away but I love how the red and black contrast looks on this type of material. The wheels on this chair are very very quiet, I have wood vinyl in my apartment and there is absolutely no noise. OVERALL, I WOULD RECOMMEND or BUY IT AGAIN !
Do I get one of these or a Refurb Leap/Amia??? I want the ergonomics but that lounging sounds incredible
Ugh that’s a really hard one. My man Luke actually picked this chair out of a few $1,000 chairs he tried but mostly bc he’s a bigger dude and wanted something for his head/shoulders Why not try this? Go with a refurb first, since return policy is SOLID with Crandall and if you don’t like it, then return and try the gaming? please consider use my links for the chairs, helps the channel a LOT!
The remanufactured leap will be better long term investment. This chair looks like it would need to be replaced after 5 years. For the cost, the chair is worth it if you really need the vertical position. I currently own the Amia and would not recommend it until there is a remanufactured version. The OEM seats are very thin and uncomfortable.
When I saw you sitting in these chairs, they looked pretty good. Luke however, made them look absolutely tiny. I appreciate the comparison here, as I'm 5'8" and was having a hard time visualizing how I'd fit into them.
Glad that was helpful! I have another video where I have some girls of different sizes come in and test all 3 sizes of the SecretLab titan evo chairs! Hopefully that should give more insight as to sizing as well!
hoping to see a review on the sihoo doro c300
Does the AndaSeat Kaiser 3 go on black Friday sales less than $414.38 that I currently have in the cart with the coupon code?? Also I'm 6 foot 1 should 170lbs would the Large be ok or should I do the XL?
I am 5.11 and I fit perfectly in xl
Great video! Very detailed comparison! I think I'll go for the Anda Kaiser 3 though because the marginal benefit I'll get in some areas - like the lumbar support - does not explain the huge price difference, so, in terms of value for money ratio, Secretlab Titan scores much lower. One thing that I would really love to see in your video is the magnetic area, how adjustable is it in terms of height.
Thanks for the kind words! I prefer the Kaiser 3 and recommend it more now over the Titan Evo 2022 because it's just a lot softer. As for the headrest magnet, where I have it positioned in the video is the lowest it'll go...I should have done the highest too! apologies!
Oh! Thank you very much for the clarification! I’m 172cm so I guess I’ll also go for the large instead of XL!
@@panosru Awesome! Please consider using my link and code for the coupon when you purchase! Helps the channel a LOT!!
Great video but I have lower back problems..I’m debating whether to get Logitech’s Herman Miller embody or andaseat Kaiser 3
So I am of the opinion you should go with the embody. They have a better reputation for warranty + returns. If you find you don’t like it, then you can return easily + for free and maybe try out the Kaiser 3 at that point. Hope this helps! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links! Helps the channel a lot!!
@@Ahnestly ok will do that ! Just got final question, what do you think of Razer gaming chairs like Enki or Iskur ?
@@immersionsensei Kaiser 3 is king of comfort. Titan evo 2022 is better at breathability and quality but much firmer seat!
Only issue I'm having at this moment, is that I ordered both seats and the secretlabs came within a couple days and the Anda seat has yet to been shipped. It has been a week since the order. Messaged them for an update 2 days ago and they have yet to reply. Customer service for Anda is trash, shipping time is trash... but worth the wait and headache for $200 in savings? We will see.
Anda Seat just released the Kaiser 4, you should do a review!
I just bought kaiser 3 and IM IN LOVEEEEEEEEEEE
YESSSS!!! I love it a lot too!! Check out todays video - it makes another appearance!
still going strong? im thinking to buy it as well! :D
How is the chair? might buy it
Just wondering what you can sit on longer with out getting sore? the Titan evo or the Kaiser 3? I am trying to figure out which one I should go with since I do WFH with long hours. Not sure if it matters on the titan evo if I am over the recommended weight limit of 180? on the small. vs the kaiser with a weight limit of 260 which I do fall under.
The Kaiser 3!!
@@Ahnestly do you have an updated affliate code or is the ones listed current? kaiser3bl seems to be dead
Has anyone bought one of andaseat "preorders"? I'm seeing stuff saying people never received their orders
I have 2 secretlab omega softweave 2018's (when they first released) and they still look new. Just ordered the 2022 edition for all the added upgrades. Unrelated but I also have the HM Logitech embody and it gives me searing pain near my shoulder blades. I'm 6' 155. Returning it and saving a whole rack lol
hey did the new chairs come in? And is the cushion hard?
@@flyinggorilla7108 I did. I would say the 2018 versions have a hard seat. The new 2022 titan version is noticeably softer but still quite firm. It's something you have to get used to. My main concern with the 2022 titan is the arm rests are way too high and won't go under my desk. Otherwise it's a really nice chair and high quality especially the softweave.
@@lance4454 thats great I was about to buy one but they don’t ship to my country😪, im looking for alternatives and still don’t know if I want to get a fabric, pleather real leather or a mesh chair
@@lance4454 I actually had the Omega. Only thing I didnt like was the lumbar pillow felt awkward to me. What do you think of the built in lumbar is it enough? I honestly don't like the gaming embodys seat you can feel the pixels digging in.
@@sittkukk8278 I didn't think the lumbar was very comfortable. Overall didn't like the chair and went with a Haworth instead
What about durability of the chairs? Do you think AndaSeat will start peeling faster becouse its softer, if you compare it to PU leather of the Secretlab Titan Evo?
I recommend going with fabric. I forgot to mention it, but I recommend that for breathability in general!
just bought a titan evo and received it last week, going off your prior videos on it. I was surprised how hard and non-plush the Evo is. It's not uncomfortable, just... not really pleasant
you are better off having a chair that starts off as stiff.. A chair that is immediately comfy will wear out and become less so quicker.
I hope we get Ahnestly recognized enough where he can collaborate with chair manufacturers. Imagine a Herman miller x Ahnestly collab!
Hahaha Herman miller and I are…on iffy terms.
@@Ahnestly well you were at least being honest with their gaming chair. They clearly would benefit from having someone like yourself helping with coming out with a suitable chair for the masses lol
@@klubhead7070 haha oh that’s not the reason why (although I assume they may not be too happy about that). Lots of stuff happened in the bg. I may talk about it one day but for now, need to feed my family :(
@@Ahnestly I'm really sad to hear that. I think Luis' idea would have been great and I also thought about that.
@@Ahnestly aren't they supposed to make chairs based on honest customers' opinions ?
After watching this video im even more confused. Im watching reviews of chairs for about 2 weeks and still didnt buy anything xD I would buy Markus but he have too high armrests for my desk so. I love design of secretlab, for me i's 10/10 but its more expensive and im not sure about firmness, rly hard choice, if i find a good office chair than its always too high for my desk or their armrests are moving all over the place... Ahnestly im 177cm tall , what u recommend more? 😅 Also i can't use ur code for 10% off in my country, unlucky :(
I wonder if the magnetic pillow will work higher up if you are slightly taller like 6 foot to 6 foot 1 or so!?
At that height, recommend you go with the XL!
Interesting I have back issues and both chairs and I prefer the lumbar of the Kaiser
Just bought this chair to replace my razer iskur. I used your code! The seat on the razer iskur was just too hard for me, in your opinion do you think the andaseat chair has a softer seat than the iskur?
The andaseat has my favorite seat of all the racing style gaming chairs. Night and day.
@moe by any chance, did you use my link+code? I didn't see anything come through, so wanted to see if I needed to reach out to them to see if there's an issue with tracking! Thank you!
Does the secretlab pillow have all the positions if used on the kaiser??
It's pretty close!
it would be good if you delved into the mechanism of the backrest because it is often the weakest point that breaks/loose after a few years of use/lounging
Can you provide the actual measurements of the seat height and depth (in the minimum position), please? Not those listed in the specifications and on the website, but the actual real measurements taken with a ruler. AndaSeat Kaiser 3 size L
Kaiser3BL code doesn't work anymore. :(
I got another mesh chair from nouhas. On sale for a good price and is for 6’ 2”. Thought it was a winner but think that I need more padding for my butt and legs. I get hemorrhoids after sitting for long periods of time. I understand there is a lot that goes in to this problem and I’m trying many different things in diet. But only starting happening this much when I’ve switched rolls to be on my computer for hours at a time.
13:44 Correction, I have the Kaiser 3 and that other knob completely makes the lumbar support flat.. I don't know why you're still feeling it. It's literally flat if you put your hand to it.
Would you recommend the anda seat over the secretlabs? I just bought a secretlabs for 570 usd but the anda seat is going for 419 with shipping and it feels like its the same but for far less
I do recommend the Anda Seat over the secretlab...I really think it has more universal appeal than the Secretlab, although the fabric quality of the secretlab is better!
@@Ahnestly I guess I feel bad spending the extra 160, but the anda chairs are on pre-order until the 25th of next month and I kind of can’t wait that long cause I have been sitting on a diner high chair in my room for a month I guess the concerns I had were is the secretlab even worth at this point? I actually got lucky cause they are doing a pop up event in Los Angeles and I got to test one today and I loved how they felt I love a semi-firm chair because I’m used to it and I feel like it will last more than a plush seat cause it can bottom out. And I guess the other fear I have is that the Anda Warranty feels like it doesn’t stack up to the SecretLabs one, it feels more like “corporate level of warranty” that might mot cover some stuff. Whereas as the Secretlabs feels like they cover more under less restrictions and have been around for longer. Whats your takeaway? Cause I don’t want to feel like I’m just giving an extra 160 yo secretlab for a name But thanks for the quick responses! I really need your help!
@@thechazz8080 So I think youir concern about the seat cushion is valid - anytime you have plushier foam, you risk flattening it over time, whereas the Secretlab isn't going anywhere. Downside though, is people get numb butt after a bit on the SL. In terms of warranty, I don't have enough concrete data to know what's what. One of the benefits of the SL is that if you keep it in good condition, you'll prob be able to resell for more bc of the brand recognition and go Andaseat then! If you haven't picked up, please consider using my link! Helps the channel a LOT! Let me know what you decide!
I have the Titan EVO and I dislike it (I am actively trying to return it). Not only is the seat way too firm, but the back is straight and also too firm. All of the high-end office chairs that Ahnestly reviews have an S-shape back to match the curve of your back, but not these gaming chairs. Realize that there are 2 types of firm cushions: firm/hard & firm/soft. Neither will break down, but the firm/hard provides little/no cushion. The Titan EVO is definitely firm/hard. I can't speak to the Anda chair, but it cannot be more uncomfortable than the Titan and it is cheaper. I would suggest returning the Titan and getting the Anda. Or better yet, buy a proper office chair. Anhestly has many videos on them as does the BTODtv KZhead channel. FYI: I bought the Titan EVO based on the glowing reviews and expected it to be my _forever_ chair. I am disappointed that I have to find something else.
@@TonyPombo I actually ended up liking it, Yeahs its firm, but I didnt feel sore or bad or felt pains Probably cause Im used to sitting on a dining chair in my room But its comfy in certain ways and the best part was the build quality It doesn’t creek or make squeaking noises, and it doesn’t fly around I’m trying it again for the 3rd night but I honestly feel okay with it and doesnt feel like it will explode like the past office chairs I have owned Some just give out or something falls And I would honestly be wary of the Anda. I did end up doing research on it after I left these comments and one thing I found out was not many people on social media actually used it (I checked the hashtag and the tags) And it feels it has a quarter of the presence that Secret labs, I would honestly he slightly wary since you and I feel unsure about it Yeah it does have youtube videos but its half known people and the other half people I don’t know and probably don’t do reviews on “chairware”
do you think its a good suggestion for studying guitar for many hours ? and are the handrests removeable ?
The arms are removable! As for studying guitar many hours, it could be a good fit but you will get hotter in this chair compared to some others out there!
@@Ahnestly if you have a better suggestion let me know! i dont mind the temperature , i just need sth really steady and with back support. (i am 100kg) , i ve seen also the dxracer
@@georgemichas8773 for long hours of comfort, the kaiser 3 is my current #1 racing style gaming chair pick!
i just bought this for me and my brother and it arrived with incompatible magswap pads on both chairs. they don't fit on the magnet. If I dont find a fix im asking for a refund
I went to check out for the kaiser but they only ship within the USA? Wtf
Would you recommend a Kasier over a Neue?
In terms of pure comfort? Yeah I would. I also think it would last longer than a Neue too
I want a nice soft chair, and for that reason alone i'll be going with the Kaiser 3, probably the black leather version in XL. It's also over £200 cheaper than the equivalent Evo 2022 here in the UK which is a huge difference.
So which one do you prefer? Secretlab is currently slightly cheaper than anda seat in my country
Andaseat. That’s crazy that SL is cheaper
Last year I bought my son a cheap gt racer chair for Xmas. My son acted happy but didn't want to hurt my feelings. Months later I sat in his chair and it was awful. If you leaned back at all you could feel the 2 bars up the sides of the back. Will this be an issue in either of these chairs?
This happens when any and all cheap chairs, not just racing ones - thin, cheap cushioning!! If you want a guarantee that you won’t run into this issue and have 12+ year warranty, check out this chair - kzhead.info/sun/i9eneLeJhKeYhIU/bejne.html
@@Ahnestly oh. I also want to know if you'd feel the bars up the back on either of these chairs.
@@jessecostello1406 not at all! And haven’t tested the Enki, but the Kaiser is softer than the Razer iskur chair
@@Ahnestly so it is fair to say the secret lab titan evo and Kaiser 3 are both good chairs but the Kaiser 3 is more cushiony on the butt.
as someone with back problems, more specifically a ruptured disc and sciatica, im struggling to find a good chair.
Here are my recommendations for the best chairs for 2022 - The ULTIMATE Chair Buying Guide for 2022 kzhead.info/sun/l6mHns-EhGOHdWg/bejne.html For people with serious back issues, I always recommend the higher end chairs as they put more in r&d, and so will have a higher chance of being the right fit!
The flat lean back feature on gaming chairs is the reason why I can't decide on gaming vs office chair.
Dude. I used to say that feature was SO dumb. Then I tried it and ate my words so hard. I legit think the Kaiser 3 can be an office chair - more so than the titan evo 2022 bc of the cushioning
I ordered a andaseat but somehow my linen seat order switched to pvc leather. Tried to chat, email, Facebook, Twitter, Impossible to fix it or cancel. Zero communication.
I went through the whole refund process, they do communicate but, they are 12 hours ahead so they respond at 2a.m. pst.
The Kaiser you are demoing is a L or XL?
L
How would the kaiser rate against a refurbished amiable? Not too much of a price difference
Really hard question. If you think you’ll want pure bliss mode and you want more shoulder/head support, Kaiser. If you are more upright, and don’t like being hot in a chair, probably Amia! Let me know what you decide and please consider using my links!
@@Ahnestly I ended up doing a refurbished amia (using your link of course). I really appreciate your vids and how helpful you and your content has been!
@@AlexHernandez-bn1pu How is the refurbed Amia? Do you like it? I am considering one too.
Very nice honest review
You spelled “ahnest” wrong, but that’s ok! Hahaha in all seriousness, thanks for the kind words!
Great Review! But wondering which to buy between RAZER ISKUR, ANDA SEAT KAISER 3 , MSI CH103 & SECRET LAB EVO TITAN 2022! Can someone help me to decide 🥲
Kaiser 3! Kaiser 3!!!
@@Ahnestly oh thanks, just wondering because it's a Chinese brand compared to other...so just worried about the quality for long term... correct me if I'm wrong
Brands might be from Taiwan/China but they’re probably all made in China!
@@Ahnestly that's what I'm wondering..is it good for long term usage? If yes can last long I will go with Kaiser 3 ;)
I don’t know the answer to that question since I don’t test the chairs for long term use. I’d say see what the warranty policy is and what it covers!
A note about the heat, that's purely because the Kaiser is leather; it's a reason why many avoid leather seats altogether.
Kind of. You sink into the Kaiser's cushions more, most likely adding more heat buildup. Whereas on the Secretlab, you're sitting much more on "top" of the cushion because it is a lot more firm
Might I suggest a couple chairs to review Neutral Posture Ulius CLATINA Ergonomic High Swivel Executive Chair with Adjustable Height Head 3D Arm Haworth Soji
Me sitting in the keiser 3 i got 4 days ago.... "Niiice" I love the andaseat!
It’s more comfortable than evo 22 for you?
@@Dragovistas YES !!!! U lose
@@bradozedxv1384 lose? What I lost?
what about the protruding lumbar support on the kaiser 3 that this video said will push against your back in recline mode?
It’s really not that bad, just noticeable. If you recline all the way, could be annoying but if you’re doing like 135 degrees, not so bad. The seat padding makes up for it compared to all the other gaming chairs I’ve tested!!!
I have it both and i would say Anda is more comfy
So evo 22 is more comfortable than kaizer?
I got the impression the Kaizer is softer and more comfortable.
Plushier is the biggest winner for a gamer ! For gamer not having 1 position like secret lab, small cushion
Really informative video! I had a secretlab, the build quality was amazing but I returned it, simply because it was very uncomfortable! It is a shame that they keep trying to sell them as if the hard as concrete seat is good for your posture! They should simply soften their cushion because sooner or later brands such Anda Seat will take the lead in market share! I am gonna try Anda Seat in a store and if it is as comfortable as you say it is, I am gonna pull the trigger! I dont care if the build quality is slightly worse than Secretlab, I just need a comfortable chair! Good job for the video
Any update?
hello ,maybe you should choose us ...hahaha
I have a 2020 Titan XL and yes the seat is stiff at first, but after breaking it in it's perfectly fine.
I did exactly that and no regrets the kaiser was miles ahead in terms of comfort
I also have a 2020 Titan XL. The armrest is slowly wearing down, but it's fine since it's only at the edges. The seat is still hard, so "breaking it in" definitely did not work. I'm 5'10, 200 lbs. I'm thinking of getting a new chair, and the most important thing for me right now is the back support. Pro tip if you're as tall as me avoid these gaming chairs, they will absolutely mess with your shoulders, you'll forever feel trapped. To me, both chairs sound awful.
Hey mate the andaseat 3 link you have provided does not work anymore
Works for me just fine? Wondering if it’s bc you’re in a different region?
Did you mean the code? The new code is “AHNESTLY10”
@@Ahnestly Perhaps it could be region locked. I am from New Zealand and struggling quite a lot fo even find an XL black fabric version of this chair. Not even any online retailer I've come across offers shipping to New Zealand. Is there any chance you know of a retailer that does offer it?
Just got the anda seat for £329 in the UK which is well over £100 cheaper than the secret lab, no brainer imo
He stole that SecretLab headrest!
What is the best recommendation for a programmer and gamer who sits for 9-12 hours?
Hm those aren’t very helpful categories to understand your wants/desires. I recommend you start here where I recommend chairs based on body type and height and then if you find a couple chairs you think can accommodate, might be able to help from there!

@@Ahnestly Thank you very much. I will take a look at the video
I see your bad boy chair in the background. I know that one, I've been looking at recliners. That's a doozy.
Me realizing I should have 2 fingers clearance 🤯
My height is 171 cm and my weight is 71 kg. I recommend the AndaSeat Kaiser 3 SIZE: L. I have never regretted buying it. It is worth the purchase and the price.
I love mine too!!!
How the turn tables
I love inside jokes. I hope to be part of one someday
Good Evening. In Greece, anda seat only provides a 2-year warranty. You can't take the 3+ years. It only gives these in the US where the company itself sells. I am very concerned about this and now it is behind secretlab. i feel that it is not the same quality of chair that i will buy compared to the usa🙄For me, unfortunately, secretlab is a one-way street. I really liked it, I was ready to order it even though it is delivered in 4-5 weeks, but the fact that it does not give everyone the same guarantee raises questions about all its positives
A big warning to potential black fabric buyers: the fabric is jet black and not as shown on their promotion material. No idea why that is o.0
If you need a footrest, the chair is not adjusted for you. This is a HUGE downside of gaming chairs; they have almost no ergonomic adjustments.
The back and lumbar is too poor for me. I'll get frustrated changing it so will leave it to my demise
Oof, ACL surgery! Hope you're ok!
Thank you. Also, I’m about to LOL hard on your other comment
Really wish the AndaSeat Kaiser 3 (and other AndaSeats) had a better warranty..... ONE year warranty! That is so lame for that price point of $750 AUD. Secret Labs offer 5 for the same price in theirs and you go to the local office works and their warranty's are 15 years for a $350 office ergo chair. Maybe you can pass on some feedback to these guys? As I personally wouldn't touch anything with that amount of warranty. Also weird how you said the SL was more open when your taller friend said it was the opposite lol
Why aren't you mentioning the slack/slob of the chairs when the tilt is locked?
what do you mean? I just ordered a Titan Evo 2022.
@@tor13128 when the tilt is in a locked position, the chair can still rock quite a bit backwards, which is really annoying if you are also using the same chair for racing with a wheel at the table, since every time you press the brake pedal, you will rock backwards in the chair. I have a short video of this on my channel.
@@Doctor0Who I have the SecretLab Titan Evo and it has way too much slack/slob, so when I am sim racing at the table, every time I push the brake, the chair tilts a bit backwards.
Gaming chairs suck. I had a Techin Mobile and then I got a Musso both were bad but the Techin was better. I needed a new chair so I got Affirm credit to get an AndaSeat Kaiser 3. I got it because the Secretlab was more and the seat didn't look thick enough. My other two chairs sucked that I had to sit on a chair cushion due to the fact I could feel the frame. I watched a ton of videos and I really didn't want an office chair. I like being able to adjust the back so I don't feel like I am pushed forward. I got the AndaSeat Kaiser 3 and have to say out of the 3 gaming chairs I have ever owned this so far is the best. It is the only gaming chair I ever own where my head touches the head pillow when I am sitting up straight. I like how the back of the chair is sitting forward whereas the other I owed the back was sitting a tad back. Do you have a video on the footrest? this chair is fine if I have shoes on but, when off if I sit all the way back into the chair my feet don't touch the floor. I have feet on my desk, which can be used as a footrest but I like something better
YES! Kaiser 3 FTW!!! Also, by foot rest video, you mean like this one??? 😁 I Tested 8 Different Footrests! kzhead.info/sun/lKppYblslpmwjWg/bejne.html
@@Ahnestly You had another I saw as well but this one is better. Thnaks. I just got my chair today so I am going to buy a foot rest from that link,
I think I'm going to stick with my Titan Evo 2022. AndaSeat is a nice-looking chair, but that lumber turned me off.
How long have you had the evo? I can’t even sit in mine it’s awful. Owned for 1 week!
I have had mine for about a year. I have no complaints; besides, I added a back pillow for extra support and the plushcell armrest. I use it for work and school, so I sit in it for 8+ hours daily. Sorry, yours did not meet your expectations. It is a good chair, IMO.
@@trancevoyagesessions I've had mine for a year and I really like it. The seat is a bit firm but it's not a deal breaker for me. I'm actually thinking about getting another one.
I agree. Secretlab is really on point
