Nitro Concepts S300 EX Gaming Chair Review

How Much Does it Cost?

The Nitro Concepts S300 EX gaming chair (in ‘radiant white’) retails for £239.99. In respective gaming chair terms, this represents what you could call the ‘upper-mid’ tier of pricing and whether you think the chair is worth that depends on what you want exactly. Based on the clear quality and aesthetic goodness of this chair it’s clearly worth the money. Although it sounds ridiculous to call it an incidental, the chair is also supremely comfortable.

Overview

A major factor in any gaming chair should be that it is comfortable. If you do, after all, spend many hours a day in front of a desk, if you’re not sitting well, you’re going to get achy very quickly.

In this regard, the Nitro Concepts S300 EX is certainly a nice place to park yourself. Admittedly, there are areas that could’ve been improved upon, such as better padding to the arm rests. Invariably, however, such ‘perks’ can easily add £100 to the price tag and, at the end of the day, a product isn’t much good if it isn’t affordable.

The soft-tilt function is nice and responsive and can be adjusted to suit your personal preferences. In addition, if you do feel like kicking back, the tilt feature is excellently controlled by a reassuring firm handle and, while back there, you never feel insecure or at the risk of wobbling over.

The cushions provided add additional level of comfort and also can be easily adjusted to suit your needs.

Practicality

The chair itself does come with a number of control features. This includes height, angle, soft-tilt control and of course the extension/angle/height options offered in the arm rests.

In other words, the Nitro Concepts S300 EX has all the key features you could want to ensure that you get this exactly how you want it. Not only that, but in terms of gaming chair sizes, it’s not even ridiculously big. Sure, it’s substantial, but I don’t think it would dominate any room either.

Work or Play

What this really boils down to is the aesthetics and what environment this chair is best suited for. While, as above, it is available in a variety of colours, the ‘radiant white’ really seems to suit all situations.

It has more than enough eye-candy to attract the ‘gaming’ aspect this is clearly marketed towards. On the other hand, however, it is stylish and slick enough to not look out of place in any modern office setting.

Final Thoughts

I really like this gaming chair for a number of reasons. It’s easy to assemble, great to use and looks pretty fantastic! I cannot stress enough how I’m really sold on the aesthetics of the design which should, in no way, undermine the fact that it is also a highly comfortable chair.

Admittedly, for the price, I’m not sure if this is perhaps a little too expensive as things stand. For the patient consumer, however, holding out for a sale could land you a fantastic bargain here.

That being said, I still love it and would happily use this myself on a daily basis. I can’t think of a better endorsement than that!

Pros

• Excellent design and aesthetics
• Suitable for practically any environment
• High levels of customisable comfort
• Solid design that speaks of a quality product.

Cons

• None

Neutral

• For it’s current retail price, you might be better served waiting for a sale. It’s not that it isn’t worth it, you just can’t really call it a bargain either.
