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

00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.920
chair Market I'm sorry we can move on

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:14.599
now if you haven't seen our other chair videos click wherever they

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:28.240
are Intel's new 750 series ssds utilize

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

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:40.320
experience the GT Omega Evo XL comes in a box that seems from the outside at

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:44.719
least very similar to the other gaming chairs we've checked out it's big brown

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:48.600
and fairly nondescript outside of a few logos but when you open it up a

00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:52.800
different experience begins through the material that they used as a synthetic

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:56.480
leather they have fooled me with the enticing scent that eminates from the

00:00:54.359 --> 00:01:00.399
box when you start removing pieces something actually took me by surprise

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

00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:10.000
embroider our logo on both the front and back of the chair obviously this isn't

00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:12.920
going to be a true everyday Evo XL that arrives to customers doors and it

00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:17.080
certainly didn't affect the outcome of the review but I thought it was a pretty

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:21.439
nice touch as I remove pieces from the box one thought kept crossing my mind

00:01:19.479 --> 00:01:27.159
this chair seems very well built from the heavy metal bases to the nice

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:32.399
feeling leathery pley materials throughout the chair and the actually

00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:37.520
soft plastic armrest to the Chrome accents on everything it just felt nice

00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:41.439
now on to my favorite part of the unboxing experience the vast amount of

00:01:39.399 --> 00:01:46.200
bolts other than two of the screws required to assemble the chair were

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:50.119
pre-installed into their holes this was such a relief as it meant that I would

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:54.159
not be dealing with manufacturing tolerance issues between the holes and

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

00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:04.479
that all the pre-installed bolts were threaded as thumb screws making

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.599
installation a breeze and they even included the proper Allen keys for each

00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:13.440
bolt in order to tighten it so I began the assembly process absolutely tickled

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:17.560
pink with the GTO mea Evo XL the first few segments went off without a major

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

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:26.280
bottom joint on the left side of the chair first as it doesn't carry the

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:30.640
Hefty tilt mechanism and you can install the right side first but I found it much

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:35.040
more difficult to line up the holes on that side and the chair itself due to

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:38.560
the increased strain on that side from the Tilt mechanism with the left side

00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:43.280
installed the right side win in very easily and I was off to the races in

00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:49.000
completing the Assembly of my new racing chair but that is

00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:53.879
unfortunately where the fun stopped one pretty significant issue with our Evo XL

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:57.599
actually didn't come with an instruction sheet up until this point it was no

00:02:56.200 --> 00:03:02.400
issue it was pretty much paint by numbers so to speak and I was actually

00:02:59.640 --> 00:03:07.080
in enjoying the assembly process but the lift control base Mount thing caused a

00:03:04.959 --> 00:03:11.879
bit of an issue once again the bolts were pre-installed but the insulation

00:03:09.239 --> 00:03:16.120
process wasn't entirely clear the right and left levers for Lift located at the

00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:20.599
bottom of the mechanism are labeled with a very light R and L text to indicate

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

00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.920
swapping the piece's orientation a few times and it's kind of frustrating with

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.239
the lift control base Mount installed I was able to finish up the rest of the

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:37.920
base installation without much trouble and move on to the finishing

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:44.360
touches unfortunately though they did send us

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.959
two left joint covers oh man the lack of

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:49.400
instruction manual was one thing but the inclusion of two left joint covers

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:53.519
rather than a right and a left really disappointed me as it resulted in the

00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:58.680
ugly tilt mechanism on the right side of the chair being completely uncovered GT

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:02.280
Omega apologized for the error and overnighted a right joint cover as soon

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

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:10.560
original shipping container so on to the actual user experience overall I found

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:14.599
the chair quite comfortable the cushions firmly support me while still providing

00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:18.600
enough to give me a relaxing sitting experience the armrests are highly

00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:22.320
adjustable and very close to if not the same armrests on the max nomic chair

00:04:20.919 --> 00:04:26.680
line as checked out a few months ago which you can see here the chair leans

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.320
back easily making it quite solid choice for those who want to kick it and watch

00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:35.520
a movie or even game stream in front of their PC or somewhere else in addition

00:04:32.520 --> 00:04:38.360
to gaming but the chair is certainly not

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:42.120
perfect and lastly the wings I'm personally still not a huge fan of these

00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:45.039
as I don't think they make a ton of sense for a very unmoving gaming

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

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:56.680
find it more restricting than anything else to have them there especially up

00:04:54.520 --> 00:05:01.440
high in the shoulders I have relatively wide shoulders and I find it quite

00:04:58.400 --> 00:05:02.680
annoying for them to be curved forward

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

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:13.759
to make my back sore like other chairs in this category so conclusion time the

00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:17.919
gtomega Evo XL is quite honestly the closest one of these gaming chairs that

00:05:15.479 --> 00:05:22.360
felt like a legitimate racing chair seat from a car to me at least it's

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:26.400
comfortable relatively wellb built and seems to be produced with a fairly good

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:31.440
manufacturing tolerances with its overall design being pretty well thought

00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.520
out but for my personal daily driver I'm

00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:38.240
not entirely sure there's this one there's the maxnomic those two are both

00:05:35.479 --> 00:05:42.240
pretty high up or we're still yet to review some of the more comfy couch

00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:45.880
style poofy chairs and I don't necessarily think I'm decided yet what's

00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:51.000
