This may come as a shock to you, but I\u2019m NOT a 19-year-old moody teenager living in his parents\u2019 basement. So when Secretlab contacted me to review their Titan Evo NanoGen gaming chair, I initially declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gamer image isn’t exactly what I’m going for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then I took a closer look – and reconsidered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the Titan Evo NanoGen<\/a> is a gaming chair. But it’s a gaming chair wearing a tux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above: I like the Titan Evo’s sculpted lines. Classic Secretlab stuff.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only available in minimalist black and white (no garish Pok\u00e9mon colour schemes, thank God), it offers ultra-soft upholstery and a sculpted look that maybe – just maybe – could not look out of place in a home office of a married 45-year-old guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, I had the same hesitation when I reviewed Secretlab’s Magnus Pro standing desk<\/a> – but walked away seriously impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to suspend my scepticism and find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ultra-Comfortable<\/strong>. Oh man. The Evo Nanogen feels nice to lower yourself into.<\/td>Big, bulky and very ‘gamer’.<\/strong> Doesn’t shake off the gamer vibe. Young guys will love this. Older guys, not so much.<\/td><\/tr>
Surprisingly good ergonomics. <\/strong>It won’t win ergonomics awards, but it does well compared to the best ergonomic office chairs in Australia<\/a>.<\/td>Disappointing lumbar.<\/strong> Doesn’t support the S-curve of your spine in the same way as office chairs do.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Reasons To Buy The Secretlab TITAN Evo NanoGen Chair.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The NanoGen\u2019s pure black (or white) leatherette material makes a statement. It’s certainly not a chair that’s designed to blend in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every single part of the chair is blacked (or whited) out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s sleek. Bold. Unapologetic.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I love the exposed stitching – it’s a nice nod to seats you see in expensive Porsches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The leatherette, meanwhile, is ultra-soft and reminds me of an (expensive) aniline couch I bought many years ago. Yes, it’s fake leather, but visually it’s impossible to tell apart from the real thing (unless you’re some sort of leather expert, which I most certainly am not).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it does have an issue that I’ll discuss below.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

By the way, I glossed over the assembly, so let me come back to it. I’m glad to report that the chair is easy to throw together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Related: Secretlab Atlas: The Best New Office Chair In Australia?<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a bit on the fiddly side – as expected from a direct-to-consumer mid-range chair – but the clear instructions make up for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Expert Tip.<\/h3><\/div>

The poster-sized assembly instructions greet you as soon as you open the box. They’re great for the wow factor, but Secretlab also gives you an instruction booklet, which is far more legible.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above: Skip the giant assembly manual. Use the booklet instead – you’ll make less mistakes and work faster.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was relieved to find armrests pre-attached, as this is one of the clunkiest steps when assembling an office chair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of armrests, if you read my chair reviews regularly, you’ll know that I’m a harsh marker. I hate almost all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Herman Miller Aeron<\/a> still has the best ones – in case you’re wondering).<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But the Titan Evo’s are not far behind. They adjust in 4D, and even though I wish they were closer to my body at the narrowest setting, it’s a small gripe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NanoGen’s PlushCell armcaps (a $99 option on the standard Evo) are included standard – and are the real stars of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secretlab’s marketing gushes about their “pillow-like softness” and \u201cunmatched comfort\u201d – and thankfully, the product does live up to the hype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Expert Tip.<\/h3><\/div>

I love the fact that they can be replaced. I can see myself spending $99 every couple of years to restore that velvety feeling on my skin.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above: Exposed stitching is a nice touch that makes the chair look more expensive than it is.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ultra-comfortable vibes continue to the backrest and the seat pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve seen reviews where people complain about the firmness of the seat pan, but I disagree. It’s definitely on the firmer side, but it’s not a deal-breaker. NanoGen’s seat pan is roughly as firm as the one on my Steelcase Series 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you remember anything from reading this review, let it be this – all expensive ergonomic chairs are firm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Did You Know?<\/h3><\/div>

An ergonomic office chair should not feel like an old man\u2019s saggy sofa. You should not be sinking into your chair.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I guarantee you that people who make the most noise about this “issue” have transitioned from cheap, plush office chairs – or cheap mainstream gaming chairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above: Knee-tilt hinge is typical for a gaming chair, and works well. You get a deliciously smooth rocking motion.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They don’t realise that firmness is a good sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Titan was more plush, it’d be even more likely to trap heat (which is the issue I need to talk to you about) – and make you sweat “down under”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a good thing during a hot Australian summer.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The seat is unapologetically a bucket. As is the backrest. It doesn’t flex at all, so you’re locked – as you are in an Aeron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But unlike the Aeron, the NanoGen Evo has soft side bolsters, so you are free to give yourself hip issues by sitting with one leg tucked under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above: The bucket seat and sculpted bolsters give you a nicely cossetted feeling.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recline function of the Titan Evo NanoGen is brilliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most mid-range office chairs use a synchro-tilt mechanism, but the Evo opted for a knee-tilt. The result is a wonderfully rocky motion that not only reclines – but sinks back and down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, the gold standard for a smooth, rocky recline is the venerable Aeron – and the Evo gives it a great run for its money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build quality is excellent. <\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t noticed any noticeable creaks or wobbles, and the chair feels like it’s been forged from premium materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forums say that creaks can develop over time – especially in the lumbar – but I can\u2019t speak to that (I’ve only had the chair for two weeks before writing the review).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Did You Know?<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

There are a handful of companies that partner with Secretlab to let you try out their TITAN Evo chairs in-person before you buy, based in Sydney, Melbourne, regional Victoria and Launceston.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Reasons To Avoid The Secretlab TITAN Evo NanoGen Chair.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coming in at just over a grand, the Titan Evo NanoGen chair isn\u2019t cheap. And I don’t love that I have to pay $100 extra for an XL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tall person tax? Really?<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You also get a good range of accessories, but the costs stack up quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above: The headrest pillow attaches using magnets, and is surprisingly useful<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A memory foam footrest is $109, while the recliner add-on will set you back around $300. Your total cost can start nudging $2,000 if you’re not careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s disappointing that the chair is backed by a 3-year warranty as standard (it can be extended to 5 years if you boast about your purchase online).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don’t be fooled by the 49-day return period. <\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need to pay for return shipping, which – because the Evo is a heavy and bulky beast – will cost you a kidney (budget at least $200 around Sydney and Melbourne metro areas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And because the chair comes with an ungodly amount of packaging, I guarantee you won\u2019t keep it for 49 days anyway. Unless you live on a farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But these are trivial matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, the biggest issue with the Titan Evo is the lack of breathability. <\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have high metabolism, so I tend to sweat a lot – and a solid bucket chair made from synthetic leather is the perfect recipe for overheating my backside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Important!<\/h3><\/div>

This heat problem is precisely why I often use my Aeron – instead of my Steelcase Leap<\/a> – during summer. Even though I find the latter far more comfortable.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I must emphasise that you may not have the same issue. Especially if you live closer to Melbourne or run aircon all day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second issue is the lumbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s adequate for making sure your back isn’t 100% flat, but it doesn’t support the S-curve of your spine in the same way as “proper” ergonomic office chairs do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a wonky back, you should look elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above: The metal tabs that unlock armrest height adjustment are outstanding. They feel cool to the touch – and remind me of steering wheel paddles on expensive sports cars.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I wish Secretlab was more consistent with the build quality of its controls. The two paddles underneath the chair (controlling height and tilt lock) are on the flimsy side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the lumbar, they’re perfectly adequate, but lack that precise tactile feeling you get on the (cheaper) ErgoTune Joobie<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But surprisingly, the metal tabs that unlock armrest height and pivot adjustments are wonderfully tactile. Yet the armrest width adjustment is flimsy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the tilt tension knob is located in the worst possible spot – under the seat pan. I also wish it was easier to turn and offered more tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How The Secretlab TITAN Evo NanoGen Chair Stacks Up.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A standard Titan Evo is almost as good and is $200-$300 cheaper, but I think the visual appeal of the NanoGen makes the extra cost worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Final Verdict On The Secretlab Titan Evo NanoGen Chair.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Secretlab\u2019s marketing is outstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re bombarded with trademarked terms that make you feel like the chair is packed with exotic technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CloudSwap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PlushCell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NanoGen. NanoFoam. SoftWeave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EpicFury. Whoops, no – that was from a different article I’m writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me translate all the marketing jargon for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Titan Evo NanoGen is a stylish gaming chair with dialled-back aesthetic, outstanding armrests and gorgeous faux leatherette upholstery that feels like real Nappa leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the upgrade to the NanoGen worth it? <\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I haven\u2019t tried the standard Titan, so I can\u2019t make a direct comparison, but as someone who doesn\u2019t mind paying for nicer things, I wouldn\u2019t regret spending the extra few hundred dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can see the Titan appealing to big and tall guys. If you feel that every \u2018regular\u2019 ergonomic chair feels like a children\u2019s toy that you spill out of, the Titan will feel right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s less a chair and more a throne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monochromatic colour palette and sumptuous hand-feel of NanoGen fabric elevate it from gamer-chic to a chair that\u2019s suitable for a \u2018grown-up\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just make sure you have enough space around your desk to accommodate it. It’s a beast of a chair that can easily overwhelm a tiny space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
