00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:09,440
we're here today to see if the GT Omega Evo XL is an evolution of the gaming

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,920
chair Market I'm sorry we can move on

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,599
now if you haven't seen our other chair videos click wherever they

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,240
are Intel's new 750 series ssds utilize

5
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:32,040
the NVMe standard providing speeds never seen before on consumer storage Drive

00:00:30,279 --> 00:00:36,520
click now to learn more let's start with the unboxing

7
00:00:34,239 --> 00:00:40,320
experience the GT Omega Evo XL comes in a box that seems from the outside at

8
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,719
least very similar to the other gaming chairs we've checked out it's big brown

9
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:48,600
and fairly nondescript outside of a few logos but when you open it up a

10
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,800
different experience begins through the material that they used as a synthetic

11
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:56,480
leather they have fooled me with the enticing scent that eminates from the

12
00:00:54,359 --> 00:01:00,399
box when you start removing pieces something actually took me by surprise

13
00:00:58,519 --> 00:01:04,720
when I first saw the back of the chair is that GT Omega took the time to

14
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:10,000
embroider our logo on both the front and back of the chair obviously this isn't

15
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,920
going to be a true everyday Evo XL that arrives to customers doors and it

16
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:17,080
certainly didn't affect the outcome of the review but I thought it was a pretty

17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,439
nice touch as I remove pieces from the box one thought kept crossing my mind

18
00:01:19,479 --> 00:01:27,159
this chair seems very well built from the heavy metal bases to the nice

19
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:32,399
feeling leathery pley materials throughout the chair and the actually

20
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:37,520
soft plastic armrest to the Chrome accents on everything it just felt nice

21
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,439
now on to my favorite part of the unboxing experience the vast amount of

22
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:46,200
bolts other than two of the screws required to assemble the chair were

23
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:50,119
pre-installed into their holes this was such a relief as it meant that I would

24
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:54,159
not be dealing with manufacturing tolerance issues between the holes and

25
00:01:52,200 --> 00:02:00,119
the material and the holes in the chair itself as I had in the past on top of

26
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:04,479
that all the pre-installed bolts were threaded as thumb screws making

27
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:08,599
installation a breeze and they even included the proper Allen keys for each

28
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:13,440
bolt in order to tighten it so I began the assembly process absolutely tickled

29
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:17,560
pink with the GTO mea Evo XL the first few segments went off without a major

30
00:02:15,239 --> 00:02:21,840
hitch one note for assembly is that it is much easier to install the top to the

31
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,280
bottom joint on the left side of the chair first as it doesn't carry the

32
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:30,640
Hefty tilt mechanism and you can install the right side first but I found it much

33
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:35,040
more difficult to line up the holes on that side and the chair itself due to

34
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,560
the increased strain on that side from the Tilt mechanism with the left side

35
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:43,280
installed the right side win in very easily and I was off to the races in

36
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:49,000
completing the Assembly of my new racing chair but that is

37
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:53,879
unfortunately where the fun stopped one pretty significant issue with our Evo XL

38
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:57,599
actually didn't come with an instruction sheet up until this point it was no

39
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:02,400
issue it was pretty much paint by numbers so to speak and I was actually

40
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:07,080
in enjoying the assembly process but the lift control base Mount thing caused a

41
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:11,879
bit of an issue once again the bolts were pre-installed but the insulation

42
00:03:09,239 --> 00:03:16,120
process wasn't entirely clear the right and left levers for Lift located at the

43
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:20,599
bottom of the mechanism are labeled with a very light R and L text to indicate

44
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,840
left and right but the layout doesn't make a ton of sense which resulted in us

45
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,920
swapping the piece's orientation a few times and it's kind of frustrating with

46
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:34,239
the lift control base Mount installed I was able to finish up the rest of the

47
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:37,920
base installation without much trouble and move on to the finishing

48
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:44,360
touches unfortunately though they did send us

49
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,959
two left joint covers oh man the lack of

50
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,400
instruction manual was one thing but the inclusion of two left joint covers

51
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:53,519
rather than a right and a left really disappointed me as it resulted in the

52
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:58,680
ugly tilt mechanism on the right side of the chair being completely uncovered GT

53
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:02,280
Omega apologized for the error and overnighted a right joint cover as soon

54
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,560
as we informed them but it doesn't change the fact that it wasn't in the

55
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:10,560
original shipping container so on to the actual user experience overall I found

56
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,599
the chair quite comfortable the cushions firmly support me while still providing

57
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:18,600
enough to give me a relaxing sitting experience the armrests are highly

58
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:22,320
adjustable and very close to if not the same armrests on the max nomic chair

59
00:04:20,919 --> 00:04:26,680
line as checked out a few months ago which you can see here the chair leans

60
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,320
back easily making it quite solid choice for those who want to kick it and watch

61
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:35,520
a movie or even game stream in front of their PC or somewhere else in addition

62
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:38,360
to gaming but the chair is certainly not

63
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:42,120
perfect and lastly the wings I'm personally still not a huge fan of these

64
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:45,039
as I don't think they make a ton of sense for a very unmoving gaming

65
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:51,960
experience where you're not being jostled around like you would be in a car which they were designed for and I

66
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:56,680
find it more restricting than anything else to have them there especially up

67
00:04:54,520 --> 00:05:01,440
high in the shoulders I have relatively wide shoulders and I find it quite

68
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,680
annoying for them to be curved forward

69
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,240
but if this is something you're looking for I must admit it wasn't all that bad of an implementation and it's not going

70
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:13,759
to make my back sore like other chairs in this category so conclusion time the

71
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:17,919
gtomega Evo XL is quite honestly the closest one of these gaming chairs that

72
00:05:15,479 --> 00:05:22,360
felt like a legitimate racing chair seat from a car to me at least it's

73
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:26,400
comfortable relatively wellb built and seems to be produced with a fairly good

74
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:31,440
manufacturing tolerances with its overall design being pretty well thought

75
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,520
out but for my personal daily driver I'm

76
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:38,240
not entirely sure there's this one there's the maxnomic those two are both

77
00:05:35,479 --> 00:05:42,240
pretty high up or we're still yet to review some of the more comfy couch

78
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,880
style poofy chairs and I don't necessarily think I'm decided yet what's

79
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:51,000
