CONCLUSION

   Tt eSPORTS has clearly released what we believe to be one of the sturdiest, most comfortable (although the PVC cover feels a bit hard compared to some other chairs) and feature-rich gaming chairs in the market today. This is not only due to the high-quality carbon line PVC faux leather but also because of the very thick foam used (75Kg/M3) and the Z support mechanism which we don’t see a lot even on high end models. The elegant design and the all-black (almost) color of the X COMFORT (XC500) also makes it ideal for office use and I know quite a few people who are looking for something like this. The 4D armrests is not something unique since we have seen them before but it’s always good to have while being able to drop the backrest up to a full 160 degrees means you can get some rest between long gaming sessions (and as mentioned already it’s roughly identical to the models that can drop a full 180 degrees). What did surprise me was the lack of a strap for the back/waist support pillow. Sure it’s easier to place and remove without one but it doesn’t really stay still when you are moving your back and although yes we didn’t have a problem with it some people just might.

   The one “bad” thing about the X COMFORT (XC500) Gaming Chair by Tt eSPORTS is its current price tag which is set at USD419.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and at 447Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). The thing however is that the high-end gaming peripherals industry targets a specific market segment and Tt eSPORTS is not alone in this price area since there are other brands like DXRacer with similarly priced models. Regardless of that however we do hope that Tt eSPORTS can slice the price of the X COMFORT (XC500) to allow for more gamers and why not even professionals to add it to their homes and offices. At the end of the day you are getting what you’re paying for and that’s a high-quality gaming chair with pretty much any feature you’d hope to find and with one of the highest comfort levels (if not the highest) offered by similar products and that’s why the X COMFORT gets our Platinum Award.
