Secretlab is known for crafting high-end comfort gear—chairs, desks, and accessories designed to elevate your setup exactly how you like it.
What’s In The Box?
The moment the massive box hit my doorstep, I had a feeling I was in for something good. Opening it up felt almost ceremonial, everything was neatly packaged and well-protected. Despite the chair being large and made of dense materials, it was surprisingly easy to unpack and put together. Secretlab includes everything you need, from the hardware to the tools, and even throws in a cleaning wipe so your new throne stays looking fresh.
In the box, you get the seat base, the tall backrest, the base stand, ultra-smooth casters, a magnetic memory foam headrest, detachable armrest tops, and a full toolset for assembly. It’s a complete package, no extra tools needed.
First Impressions and Build Quality
Right away, what stood out to me was the weight and sturdiness of the chair. The base and casters aren’t plastic, they’re made of a sturdy metal. That’s a huge plus if you’re a bigger person, because plastic bases tend to wear down or crack over time. Every part of the chair, from the arms to the recline mechanism, feels reinforced and built to last.
I’ve had my fair share of “plus-size” chairs that still feel unstable or start leaning weird after a few months. But this one felt sturdy, and I actually tested it by falling back into it on purpose with no hesitation, and no awkward catch-myself moment. It held up perfectly, and that’s not something I say lightly. I genuinely trust this chair more than any I’ve owned before.
Comfort and Support
The Titan Evo XL isn’t just strong, it’s insanely comfortable. Secretlab clearly put in the research to get the feel just right. I’m someone who doesn’t like chairs that are too soft or too stiff. This one serves the Goldilocks in me because it’s just right. The cushion feels firm enough to give you real support, but not so hard that it feels rigid. The seat cradles your weight evenly, which means less fatigue even during long hours of work or gaming.
The built-in lumbar support is a game-changer too. You can fine-tune it to fit the curve of your back, and once you dial it in, it really makes a difference. It’s not a one-size-fits-all support bar, it adjusts to you. That kind of customization is rare, and it shows they’re thinking about long-term comfort, not just aesthetics.
The head pillow is magnetic, memory foam, and gel-infused to stay cool. It’s one of those little features you don’t think you’ll care about until you use it—and then it becomes something you never want to go without.
One underrated but surprisingly impactful feature of the Titan Evo XL is the ability to swap out the armrest tops. It may sound like a small thing, but when you spend hours at your desk, even your elbows deserve a premium experience. My personal go-to is the TECHNOGEL Premium Armrest Top. It strikes that perfect balance of support and softness, and most importantly, it stays cool, even during my blazing hot California summers. That cooling effect alone makes it a must-have if you're in a warm climate or tend to run hot.
Secretlab also offers the PLUSHCell™ armrest tops, which come in soft gray and pink colorways. They’re incredibly plush, like resting your arms on clouds, and add a fun pop of personality to your setup. That said, they’re a bit too warm for my taste when the temperatures rise, so I’ll keep my TECHNOGEL tops on when summer hits. Still, it’s nice to have options that match your style and comfort preferences.
Looks That Match the Quality
On top of being sturdy and comfortable, the Titan Evo XL just looks clean. The design is sleek and modern, with sharp stitching and a professional finish that works for any setup. No matter which colorway you choose, the chair looks high-end. I’d go so far as to call it a centerpiece for your desk, a throne that doesn’t just feel good, but looks the part too.
Feedback
Okay, let’s talk about the elephant in the room, the Titan Evo XL isn’t cheap. With an MSRP starting at $599, it’s a serious investment. That price tag might give you pause, and rightfully so. There are definitely more budget-friendly chairs out there that look similar on the surface. But this isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about long-term comfort, build quality, and peace of mind.
If you're someone who spends hours sitting at a desk every day, whether you're working, gaming, or both, then it's really a matter of how much you value your comfort. Cheaper chairs tend to break down faster, wear out in weird spots, or just never feel quite right. You end up replacing them more often or dealing with daily discomfort.
Now, that said, if you catch this chair on sale or manage to find one second-hand in good condition, it’s 100% worth jumping on. The durability alone means it’ll likely outlast whatever you’re using now. You're not just paying for a chair, you're paying for a chair that’s built to last and actually feels good to sit in day after day.
It’s definitely a premium product at a premium price, but once you sit in it, you’ll get why.
Verdict
The Secretlab Titan Evo XL is a premium chair with premium comfort, durability, and style to match. From its rock-solid build to its perfectly balanced cushioning, it’s clear this chair was made to last, and made for people who take their setup seriously. At $599 MSRP, it’s definitely an investment, but if you spend a lot of time at your desk, it’s one that pays off in comfort and reliability. And if you catch it on sale or second-hand? Even better. Simply put, if you value your comfort, this chair is absolutely worth it. The only reason I’m docking it points is because the price may not be attainable for the average person, making it a bit less accessible despite its quality.
