we're here today to see if the GT Omega Evo XL is an evolution of the gaming
chair Market I'm sorry we can move on
now if you haven't seen our other chair videos click wherever they
are Intel's new 750 series ssds utilize
the NVMe standard providing speeds never seen before on consumer storage Drive
click now to learn more let's start with the unboxing
experience the GT Omega Evo XL comes in a box that seems from the outside at
least very similar to the other gaming chairs we've checked out it's big brown
and fairly nondescript outside of a few logos but when you open it up a
different experience begins through the material that they used as a synthetic
leather they have fooled me with the enticing scent that eminates from the
box when you start removing pieces something actually took me by surprise
when I first saw the back of the chair is that GT Omega took the time to
embroider our logo on both the front and back of the chair obviously this isn't
going to be a true everyday Evo XL that arrives to customers doors and it
certainly didn't affect the outcome of the review but I thought it was a pretty
nice touch as I remove pieces from the box one thought kept crossing my mind
this chair seems very well built from the heavy metal bases to the nice
feeling leathery pley materials throughout the chair and the actually
soft plastic armrest to the Chrome accents on everything it just felt nice
now on to my favorite part of the unboxing experience the vast amount of
bolts other than two of the screws required to assemble the chair were
pre-installed into their holes this was such a relief as it meant that I would
not be dealing with manufacturing tolerance issues between the holes and
the material and the holes in the chair itself as I had in the past on top of
that all the pre-installed bolts were threaded as thumb screws making
installation a breeze and they even included the proper Allen keys for each
bolt in order to tighten it so I began the assembly process absolutely tickled
pink with the GTO mea Evo XL the first few segments went off without a major
hitch one note for assembly is that it is much easier to install the top to the
bottom joint on the left side of the chair first as it doesn't carry the
Hefty tilt mechanism and you can install the right side first but I found it much
more difficult to line up the holes on that side and the chair itself due to
the increased strain on that side from the Tilt mechanism with the left side
installed the right side win in very easily and I was off to the races in
completing the Assembly of my new racing chair but that is
unfortunately where the fun stopped one pretty significant issue with our Evo XL
actually didn't come with an instruction sheet up until this point it was no
issue it was pretty much paint by numbers so to speak and I was actually
in enjoying the assembly process but the lift control base Mount thing caused a
bit of an issue once again the bolts were pre-installed but the insulation
process wasn't entirely clear the right and left levers for Lift located at the
bottom of the mechanism are labeled with a very light R and L text to indicate
left and right but the layout doesn't make a ton of sense which resulted in us
swapping the piece's orientation a few times and it's kind of frustrating with
the lift control base Mount installed I was able to finish up the rest of the
base installation without much trouble and move on to the finishing
touches unfortunately though they did send us
two left joint covers oh man the lack of
instruction manual was one thing but the inclusion of two left joint covers
rather than a right and a left really disappointed me as it resulted in the
ugly tilt mechanism on the right side of the chair being completely uncovered GT
Omega apologized for the error and overnighted a right joint cover as soon
as we informed them but it doesn't change the fact that it wasn't in the
original shipping container so on to the actual user experience overall I found
the chair quite comfortable the cushions firmly support me while still providing
enough to give me a relaxing sitting experience the armrests are highly
adjustable and very close to if not the same armrests on the max nomic chair
line as checked out a few months ago which you can see here the chair leans
back easily making it quite solid choice for those who want to kick it and watch
a movie or even game stream in front of their PC or somewhere else in addition
to gaming but the chair is certainly not
perfect and lastly the wings I'm personally still not a huge fan of these
as I don't think they make a ton of sense for a very unmoving gaming
experience where you're not being jostled around like you would be in a car which they were designed for and I
find it more restricting than anything else to have them there especially up
high in the shoulders I have relatively wide shoulders and I find it quite
annoying for them to be curved forward
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
to make my back sore like other chairs in this category so conclusion time the
gtomega Evo XL is quite honestly the closest one of these gaming chairs that
felt like a legitimate racing chair seat from a car to me at least it's
comfortable relatively wellb built and seems to be produced with a fairly good
manufacturing tolerances with its overall design being pretty well thought
out but for my personal daily driver I'm
not entirely sure there's this one there's the maxnomic those two are both
pretty high up or we're still yet to review some of the more comfy couch
style poofy chairs and I don't necessarily think I'm decided yet what's
