That's a fair point. I'm not sure I've ever seen a straight logo on one of these chairs :) In reality though, the logo in no way effects how this chair looks or feels. No chair is going to be perfect and if I had to choose something that wasn't perfect, I would rather it was the logo than something important like the stitching or the wheel base.
Yes I agree it doesn't affect how it feels but when I'm about to spend 350€ on a gaming chair I would like it to be top notch. There is so many brands to choose from. How do you like the lumbar support? I have tried few gaming chairs and the back rest is usually kinda flat and pretty uncomfortable after two hours.
MsHerrasmies yeah, I get what you mean. I would say that this chair is good value for money. It's well made, looks great, is made of leather.etc. I had previously used a Steelcase Leap and if you compare this to a $1000 dollar task chair, it performs well. I prefer it even. Now lumbar support.... Yeah none of the pillow style gaming chairs have good lumbar support. I've never really found that my back gets sore after a few hours with this chair. The chair base is pretty hard so it's usually my bum that gets a bit sore, but I had the same issue with the steelcase leap. Unless I'm mistaken the only gaming chair brand to offer internal adjustable lumbar support in this price range is Secretlab, with the Titan. Alternatively you can look at the vertagear triigger, but that's really expensive.
Definitely won't be short. It's pretty much as tall as a gaming chair gets. That said, you will likely face the issue that the head pillow is more of a neck pillow, but that's the same on any other similar chair.
Really enjoyed this review and comparison with a few of the same chairs I was looking at, including this one, which prompted me to buy this chair. Like the pop culture/fashion reviews also. Keep up the good work.
MATR1X SYSTEMS thanks very much! Really appreciate the support. If there's anything specific you'd like me to look into, review wise. Look forward to seeing how you like the chair!
Got my chair and have to say for the first few weeks it was very stiff, so much so that sitting upright hurt my lower back and coccyx. Using it in a slighly reclined position is a bit more comfortable but not ideal for posture when gaming. Quality and materials is quite good, but at this point I think the Icon would have been a better option for comfort despite my personal taste for the epic design.
MATR1X SYSTEMS yeah it can be quite firm. Pity to hear you find it uncomfortable. In a worst case, get yourself a pillow and you'll have the best of both. looks and comfort.
Demian Kammer haha, Hardware Canucks video? I saw he said this when I did my research. This is definitely true if you have the chair upright, but all gaming chairs are like that. If it's angled slightly backward, it's not an issue for me and I have pretty broad shoulders. Again this is not a chair that's designed to be used like a task chair (Herman Miller or Steelcase) where you're up straight. It's designed so that you lean back. As I mention in the video, I used a Steelcase leap before and while that chair was great for lower back support and posture, it gave me no upper back, shoulder, or neck support and that was far worse than this chair. Hope this makes sense and helps!
Hello I'm from Brazil to buy a chair of this, but it is an innovation between the model EPIC and ICON, I am 1.73 in height and 95% which is better for me, the price for comfort ... Great review congratulations
Felipe Lopes thanks! I would say that the Icon is probably a better chair, and theyve worked improvements over the Epic into it. I think it has a bit less of a bucket shape, and seems to have better head support. That said, I think both chairs are really good. You should go read my chair roundup on my website. I think you should also consider the secret lab omega or titan
So you would recommend to me nowadays the ICON or EPIC model, have they already made this change of improvement in EPIC? And how is your chair after almost a year, the leather ripped? Would you like to contact me to send photo, Facebook or WhatsApp
Hey Felipe, In terms of ICON vs EPIC, the changes I talked about are ICON only. Out of the two, I'd probably get the ICON now based on features. I do think that the EPIC looks nicer though. Again, I would also look at Secretlab chairs. I just replaced my chair with the Secretlab Titan Napa. As for the EPIC, the leather is still perfect. Not a scratch on it. The chair also feels like new and nothing has broken. It's really been very reliable. Here's a picture I took last week. twitter.com/GamingFTWeekend/status/1025945977515991042
Friend here in Brazil the only brands of chairs that have are Aerocool, Akracing, Alpha Gamer, Bluecase, Cougar, Dazz, DT3 Sports, Dxracer, Husky, PCYes, Shakoon, THUNDERX3 and Noblechairs of all the Noblechairs is what to get out. These other brands you mentioned do not exist here unhappily, so I only have Noblechairs, I'm hoping to get in stock in the store that I'm going to buy because there's only one in the authorized one that sells in Brazil. As for ICON vs EPIC, can I choose then for the model that I like best because the quality and comfort of each one are the same, even ICON supporting 150kg and EPIC 120kg? The picture you sent me on the link seems to be very well preserved, it shows that the leather is of a lot of quality, among the colors you've seen of them out there which you found to be the most beautiful (EPIC = Black / White / Brow / Black , Black, Brow / Beige), (ICON = Midnight / Blue / Graphite, Cognac / Black, Black). I am in doubt between which model and which color you never see one in person, just for photos on the internet hahaha. Thank you very much for answering my questions, I hope your channel grows even more so.
CorruptVls thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Nah, not sponsored :) I wish! The chair definitely isn't cheap, but whether it's worth it or not depends on you. For me, it is. Before this I used a Steelcase Leap, which is more expensive, but I find the Noble chair more comfortable. It also looks much better and it's made of leather so in that case, yeah I think it's good value for money. Lastly I've had the chair for about 6 months and it still looks and feels like the day that I bought it. Before buying a gaming chair I was worried that they were a bit gimmicky and that the build quality would be bad, but not so withy chair. If you're looking for similar cheaper options you could of course get this chair in PU or you could look at the secretlab chairs. Hope this helps!
Awesome. Hope you enjoy it! If you're buying second hand, ideally check it out in person if you can! I can vouch for the quality of mine, not a second hand one on the interwebs! That way you can check all the settings and make sure the back is aligned properly.etc.
Dylan Nunn yeah its definitely not a soft chair. See how it goes. I ended up getting a thin pillow to put on top if I'm sitting on the chair for a really long time.
Did you notice it get any softer with use? It has no give, and I would like a little. Can you link me to the thin pillow you got? I would like to look into it.
So how it holds after 2 years?
I have a Noble Chair ICON AND I LOVE IT!!!!! THE SEAT IS FIRM BUT COMFY!!!! and Feels Like im seating in a comfy sports car seat :)
I have watched like 10 noblechair review and it seems the logo on the back rest is tilted pretty often. It doesn't scream quality.
That's a fair point. I'm not sure I've ever seen a straight logo on one of these chairs :) In reality though, the logo in no way effects how this chair looks or feels. No chair is going to be perfect and if I had to choose something that wasn't perfect, I would rather it was the logo than something important like the stitching or the wheel base.
MsHerrasmies if you have any other concerns about the chair feel free to ask and I can give you my opinion! :)

Vertagear is really expensive and I can't say I'm fan of the looks. Thank you for the answers. I really appreciate it!
What's your height ? I'm considering to buy one but I am 1.93m tall and I'm afraid it will be short
Definitely won't be short. It's pretty much as tall as a gaming chair gets. That said, you will likely face the issue that the head pillow is more of a neck pillow, but that's the same on any other similar chair.
Oh and 1.95
Thank you, then I'll buy it!
It will be the hero chair because the backrest height is a bit taller than the epic and icon series

First of all thank you for this video. How is it with the shoulders? I heard that you dont have enough space and that the epis pushes them foreward.
Demian Kammer haha, Hardware Canucks video? I saw he said this when I did my research. This is definitely true if you have the chair upright, but all gaming chairs are like that.

The steel case was worse than this chair! Typo :) (Don't type TH-cam replies on your phone. Sounds good, doesn't work.)
Gaming For The Weekend wow that was a quick answer thx ;)
It's a pleasure! Gimme a shout if you have other questions. Happy to help
Thanks for the review. It answered a lot of my questions.
Sean Hannold awesome, thanks. Glad you enjoyed it man
Is it brown leather?
Hey Jonathan, yeah it is brown leather :)

I love how the intro is iMovie
Haha, them pro video making skills....
this chair make you to sweat? Bcs have leather...
Nah not really. I've never had any issues with sweating. But my apartment is air conditioned, so you've got to keep that in mind :)
Hey, cool vido
Did you get sponsored by Noblechairs to make this video? It's so fucking expensive and dont know if it's worth it
CorruptVls thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Nah, not sponsored :) I wish! The chair definitely isn't cheap, but whether it's worth it or not depends on you. For me, it is.

Probably going to pull the trigger and get one. Found the exact same as yours for €240 2nd hand, but only 4 months old.
Awesome. Hope you enjoy it! If you're buying second hand, ideally check it out in person if you can! I can vouch for the quality of mine, not a second hand one on the interwebs! That way you can check all the settings and make sure the back is aligned properly.etc.
Gaming For The Weekend
I understand;)
Thanks
Awesome. Good luck! Let me know what you think when you get it :)
I bought this chair. I feel like it is too hard for my butt... It is day 1 though.
Dylan Nunn yeah its definitely not a soft chair. See how it goes. I ended up getting a thin pillow to put on top if I'm sitting on the chair for a really long time.
Did you notice it get any softer with use? It has no give, and I would like a little. Can you link me to the thin pillow you got? I would like to look into it.
