Summary
For those who haven’t read out my enthusiasm in the course of this review, I’d like to explain again below why the SecretLab Titan Evo was so well received by me overall. SecretLab approached us very confidently and also advertises that they make the best gaming chairs in the world. I generally take something like that as a reason to take a particularly close look at the product to be tested. Since the Titan Evo is in exactly the same price range as the Recaro RAE Essential, it naturally has to face this comparison. Because even though both chairs follow a completely different philosophy, in the end they are still two seats in the same price segment.
While the Recaro RAE is made of intelligent and modern composite materials and comes across as elegant, almost filigree, the massive Titan Evo is a true “iron pig” and lives up to its name. Basically, both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, so it’s very difficult for me to pick a clear winner – in the end, the Titan Evo makes the more robust impression, while the Recaro looks more elegant and modern.
However, the difference is much more serious in terms of function. The Recaro is an excellent office chair! I spend many hours on this chair every week in the home office and have really come to love it. The RAE forces me to sit up straight and “healthy”, which my back gratefully accepts. However, and here I insist on my personal experience and taking into account my height and weight, it cannot be used as a substitute for an armchair. I already mentioned in the introduction that it is not possible for me to really “slouch” on the Recaro. For an OFFICE chair, that’s not a selling point either, and that’s why the office is also where I see the Recaro – where I HAVE to sit for many hours in the most ergonomic and healthy way possible, that’s where the Recaro has become my best friend. For the hour of relaxation in the evening, where you let 5 be straight and maybe want to recline and gamble for an hour with an after-work beer, but then the Titan Evo can come up trumps. With its size advantage and the thick cushions, through which I can never even begin to feel the construction even with my high weight, the Titan Evo simply offers pure sofa feeling. In the end, you have to differentiate whether you want to buy an office chair or a gaming chair in this comparison.
Conclusion
Finally, my personal conclusion about the SecretLab Titan Evo. In terms of healthy sitting, it has to admit defeat to my reference, the Recaro RAE, despite the adjustable lumbar support and good ergonomics. In terms of materials, presentation and workmanship, however, I have yet to get my hands on anything of higher quality than the Titan Evo. The chair is very comfortable, offers a great feel, and in the end, the large version is probably the best GAMING chair I’ve sat in.
Overall, the price of currently 569€ for the tested XL model is certainly not cheap, but you actually get a bit more chair for the money at SecretLab in this price range than with almost all competitors I’ve been able to test so far. If you are looking for a gaming chair in this price range, you should definitely take a closer look at the Titan Evo.
The chair was provided by SecretLab for this review without any preconditions. There was no influence or compensation.
