AndaSeat X-Air Pro Mesh: Two-minute review
AndaSeat’s playing an intriguing game with this one.
Both are only available from its store right now.
The big difference between the two?
Well, it’s mostly down to colorways, the base, and the armrests.
Why are they such an issue?
Simply put, they’re just too confusing.
That can make the initial experience with it quite a bit of a turn-off.
it’s possible for you to grab either the X-Air or the X-Air Pro in one of three colorways.
From the front, this thing screams corporate office, and little else.
It’s bold, it’s potent, and honestly, a little bit confusing.
Almost like the X-Air doesn’t quite know what it wants to be.
Is it the best gaming chair?
It doesn’t know, but to be honest, that’s fine.
AndaSeat has nailed the mesh fabric on this.
Now onto the bad bits.
Adjustability is there, but it’s not intuitive.
The lumbar support is fixed straight out of the gate and quite aggressive.
Then there’s the 5D armrests.
These things are a mess, sadly.
They’re effectively built on three moving parts.
Final positive: the tilt mechanism is fantastic.
The back of the chair itself tilts, rather than the base it’s attached to as well.
What is it that stops you from assembling some of this on-site and shipping it complete?
This is not an easy chair to put together.
That would be fine if it weren’t balancing on those plastic 5D armrests.
It’s just a nightmare.
Should I buy the AndaSeat X-Air Pro Mesh?
It’s easy to clean, doesn’t feel that abrasive, and supports you well.
You love lumbar supportYou just need solid lumbar support straight out of the gate.
It might not be adjustable, but this thing is pronounced for the lumbar lovers.
Also consider…
It’s relatively cheap, relatively comfortable, but a bit of a nightmare.
