**The Epic Series Chair: A Review**

In this review, we will be taking a closer look at the Epic series chair from Noble, a gaming chair brand known for its high-quality and feature-rich chairs. We will be comparing it to another popular gaming chair, the Maxnomic, to see which one comes out on top.

**The Importance of Comfort**

When it comes to choosing a gaming chair, comfort is key. If a chair is not comfortable for any period of time, then all its other features become moot. The Epic series chair and the Maxnomic share many similarities in terms of features, but the real question is: which one is more comfortable? In our opinion, the Maxnomic edges out the Epic series chair when it comes to comfort. The butt support on both chairs is quite comfortable, with the Maxnomic being slightly more broken-in. However, the back support on the Epic series chair is a major issue. It's pretty flat, which may not work for those with larger or smaller back arches.

**The Problem with Adjustable Back Support**

One of the biggest disappointments with the Epic series chair is the lack of adjustable lumbar support. Unlike the Maxnomic, which has an adjustable lumbar support knob that can be turned to customize the fit, the Epic series chair relies on a pillow in the lower back region to provide additional support. This pillow may not work for everyone, and when we tested it with our reviewer's wife, she found it to be too flat and didn't feel comfortable. On the other hand, the Maxnomic's adjustable lumbar support is a game-changer.

**The Greatness of Noble**

Noble chairs are known for their high-quality construction, and the Epic series chair does not disappoint. The build quality is top-notch, with sturdy materials and attention to detail that sets it apart from other gaming chairs on the market. However, the lack of adjustable lumbar support is a major letdown.

**The Verdict**

In our opinion, the Maxnomic edges out the Epic series chair due to its adjustable lumbar support. While the Epic series chair has many great features, including comfortable butt support and high-quality build materials, the lack of adjustable lumbar support makes it hard to recommend over the Maxnomic.

**Other Features**

While comfort is key, other features can also make a gaming chair stand out from the crowd. Both chairs have plenty of features that set them apart, including comfortable seating and durable construction. The Epic series chair has a head pillow, which is great for long gaming sessions, while the Maxnomic has more adjustable features overall.

**The Head Pillow**

The head pillow on both chairs is great in its own right. It's designed to provide additional comfort and support during long gaming sessions. However, it may not be enough to make up for the lack of adjustable lumbar support.

**Squarespace: A Sponsor We Can Get Behind**

As we wrap up this review, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsor, Squarespace. They are an amazing company that makes it easy to create professional-looking websites without needing any coding experience. Their templates and drag-and-drop interface make it simple to get started, even for those who are new to web design. We've had the pleasure of working with them in the past, and we can attest to their quality and customer service.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, while both the Epic series chair and the Maxnomic have their strengths and weaknesses, the Maxnomic edges out the competition due to its adjustable lumbar support. If you're in the market for a gaming chair, we highly recommend checking out the Maxnomic. And if you're looking for a website design solution that's easy to use and affordable, Squarespace is definitely worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis video is brought to you by Squarespace the quick and easy way to build a kick-ass website what's up guys welcome back to the channel today I'm taking a look at the contents of this enormous box this is the noble chairs epic series real leather in Black it's a gaming chair in case you couldn't tell and I'm really not an expert when it comes to gaming chairs I'm still sort of conflicted about the whole thing I do use one I have a maxnomic which I did review back on the channel a few maybe a year ago but uh honestly I love that chair it's been fantastic it's really the only basis of comparison I have for reviewing this chair so I'm going to be making a lot of those comparisons today between those two mod these two models this is supposed to be a better chair according to the manufacturer than something like the max nomic because it features real genuine leather and it's all sexy and stuff but I'm going to go ahead and test it out just to see what all the features entail and then we're going to go Circle back and do a little conclusion to see exactly if this thing is worth the five or $600 that you might spend on it so on that note I'm going to crack this box open we're going to put it together and check this baby action all right here she is in all her glory or maybe it's a he I'm not sure uh but installation was super smooth and easy probably took me 25 30 minutes max to get this thing all set up and instructions over there were super clear there's a really nice big pictures very descriptive and uh everything went really smoothly on the installation front didn't really run into any issues this thing was up and running in no time so that's good uh you can see I've got my Max nomic here my daily driver uh just going to put it right here for comparison we'll be doing a little left and righty uh occasionally throughout the rest of this review um so I think the best way to do this right now is to start from the bottom we'll start from the bottom and then we'll go to the top and we'll work our way to all the other things that are going on up there I'm just going to sit on the floor right now hope that's cool with you guys uh so the first thing I want to point out is the base here it's full aluminum and it's kind of got a nice matte black powdered coated finish and uh it seems very sturdy Bel quality is top-notch here it does have five it's a fstar design so you've got casters on the bottom of each of those wings and the casters are really really actually nice they uh they slide very easily whether you're on hardwood floor and I did test it out on the carpet as well slides very easily um pretty much on par with the maxnomic sorry it's all like dirty and dusty I should have cleaned that before the video uh but you can see this has got more of a glossy finish on the five star base uh and I believe I can't remember if this is aluminum or metal it's one or the other but honestly they're pretty much on par they do look a bit different because of the gloss versus the powder coat I actually do like the powder coat a bit more I think it look just looks a little bit more subdued I don't like gloss on pretty much anything and uh and yeah so just right up here you can see we've got two of these black levers all right so there's one here and there's one here so this one I believe adjusts the rocking mechanism so if you enable that you can actually Rock the chair back and forth like a rocking chair uh and you can also adjust the tension of that with this knob as well you can adjust the rocking tension whether you want it to Teeter very easily or have a bit more resistance to it uh and also if you don't like the rocking um the rocking mechanism you can actually lock it into place if that's what you're into so that's nice and then all over here you we've got uh this one's for height I believe it's already maxed out on the height but you can adjust the seat up or down uh however you like obviously I will have mine in the lowest position because I'm short you guys know that already and also we've got a little bit of an incline here this is a lever that we've got for the the back rest itself it's kind of like it works just like the uh the little arm seat the back rest lever in a car for example and this is also all so far all the features that I've just talked about in terms of like seed adjustability um are also found on the max iic including this lever here the lever is full metal it's got a plastic grip on it for so it's not going to like you know cut your hand or anything like that it is very sturdy and I would say build quality all around is is pretty solid uh and then you've got the armrests these These are what they're calling 4D or four-dimensional armrests and um they're pretty much exactly the same as the ones on the max nomic they are indistinguishable of each other but that's not a bad thing because I really I really do like these 4D armrests so what you can do is they've got there there's just levers everywhere so you you can adjust up and down like that you've got this button here that adjusts how far forward or far back you'd like your armrest to be which is nice and then you've got another button here that adjusts uh inward or outward positioning so depending on how wide your shoulders are apart and stuff like that you'll be comfortable and also the last one is that you can actually rotate these things just by turning them see you can rotate it inward so if you uh tend to bow out your elbows or maybe like that maybe that's game who knows or you can just go straight of course so a lot of options with the armrests moving on to the seat and the back rest itself in terms of quality we'll go over the build quality first uh super high quality I mean this thing is pretty much as good as it gets it's one of the best that I've seen actually I've only really only ever seen this one uh but the uh the stitching job for one here is just super good it's just um it's really clean there's no fraying of any kind and it's just it's the same type of quality throughout the entire chair it looks phenomenal and you can see there's even some some Diamond stitching which not only looks good but uh I guess it provides a bit of a bit of uh it's a bit more breathable speaking of breathability underneath all of this leather uh inside the uh the seat itself as well as the back rest you'll find some open cell cold foam uh which is again very breathable so it stays uh more or less cool doesn't actually um warm you up too much especially in like high summer periods also it's got a nice firmness to it and it's a it's a bit more firm than the maxnomic but that's also because I've been sitting in this chair for almost 12 months now so it it has softened up I've definitely broken it in as I do sit in it every single day for long periods of time so I'd imagine that this this would soften up a little bit as well it's a bit firm for my liking but again I think after breaking it in uh it would be just perfect for for my for my sweet cheeks now of course let's not ignore the genuine leather material that's being used on the back rest as well as on the seat itself because this is one of the biggest features that Noble chairs is priding themselves with the their epic series lineup and uh what's what's the difference between imitation leather and genuine leather when it comes to a gaming chair well I'm glad you asked first thing is what I would say is like look and feel right so you can kind of tell actually if you look from side to side at the maxnomic over there and the Epic series that I don't know it just looks a little bit more cheap on the maxnomic it's a bit more glossy maybe that's my back sweat but you you definitely can tell especially when you feel the leather with your with your with your soft caress however my back and my butt can't really tell the difference when sitting in the chair itself so the genuine leather I will say does not make the chair any more comfortable that's more so dependent on the back and butt support as well as like the cold uh the open cell cold foam and stuff like that uh however there are certain other benefits to genuine leather other than the look and feel which include durability so for for one it's more resistant to UV stuff UV exposure as well as moisture so if you guys tend to sweat a lot during like long gaming sessions or whatever other sessions you might be engaged in then perhaps genuine leather is the way to go over the imitation stuff now to be fair to really test out the durability between these two types of leather I would have to sit in each one in equal amount of time for a prolonged period of time not just a few hours but several months perhaps to see how they each hold up unfortunately I've only ever sat in the Mex nomic for that period of time and I will say in its defense it's held up quite nicely even though it does have imitation leather there's really very minimal signs of wear and tear if if any at all I mean other than maybe getting stretched a little bit here uh you you there is a bit of stuff here do you see those little little markings that's not actually wear and tear those are mying cats I hate those little gerss but truth be told the pleather here on the maxnomic has actually held up pretty well and I'm super happy with it so it would be interesting to sit in the Epic series chair for a year or so and do a bit of a comparison but um maybe maybe I'll Circle back in a year from now who knows now perhaps the biggest question that we need to answer today in this sort of comparison review is which one of these chairs is more comfortable to sit in and uh that that's actually important because even if you have a ton of features like both of these chairs do if the chair is not comfortable for any period of time then it's kind of like all those other features don't really matter do they do they so if I would have to give my honest opinion here and wifey sauce actually agrees with me on this is that the ma omic in both of our opinions is the more comfortable chair um not so much for the butt I mean the butt on both of these is quite comfortable granted uh the maxnomic a bit more broken in but the problem with the Epic series chair lies in the back support I think because if you look at this it's pretty flat so unless you have a really flat back um that's not going to work out for you I actually have a pretty sizable arch in my back so I need good lumbar support and the great thing about the maxnomic you can already see it's like bulging out a bit it's got this knob I don't know if you guys remember this knob from my review on this chair but it's a adjustable lumbar support So if you turn it you can start to see it bulging out a little bit it's very subtle might be hard to see on camera but it actually bulges out you know and uh forms to your back and you can crank it however you want it's completely adjustable there's no option there's no such option for like that on the Epic series chair which is kind of a disappointment instead to remedy that the loss of any adjust able back support theyve included this pillow that's your that's your lower lumbar support which I don't know for a five or $600 chair I would expect a little bit more here and the problem with this pillow is that unless your back is exactly the dimensions with the same Arch and stuff it's not going to feel right and uh when I when I had wifey SAU sit in this chair for the first time she said you know what I thought she would it's too flat the back is too flat so I tried having her sit in it again with the pillow and and then she said well it's too poofy now and it was actually sticking out so far for her that her upper back wasn't able to touch the back rest uh properly so it's just you know it needs to be a bit more adjustable than that the head pillow is great though GG for a for a critique here probably the biggest critique out of this whole review is Noble chairs if you're listening keep everything else the same this chair is freaking awesome the build quality is topnotch it really is a top class chair the one thing I would add is adjustable lower lumbar support and that is the biggest difference between the maxnomic and the Epic series here today and I would say it's it's pretty damn important but yeah let me know what you guys think about it I'm very curious to hear your thoughts and I really do need a cameraman let me know what you think of the chair and what you think about genuine leather is that something that you look for when shopping for a gaming chair or does it really not matter to you much I'm very curious to know um also I will say thank you to today's sponsor because they are awesome Squarespace apart from being really awesome guys to work with and collab with and and sponsor stuff with uh they also have an amazing service where you can develop websites very easily on the cheap so I actually have my entire website bit with.com store as well as the main the main page all developed through Squarespace
