Overview
The Martian Pro is DXRacer’s newest flagship, positioned as an ultra‑luxury gaming chair with premium features such as an 8‑point massage system, heating/cooling, and a sturdy steel frame. Priced at $899, it aims to out‑shine rivals like SecretLabs.
Design & Build
The chair uses a steel frame wrapped in double‑stitched EPU leatherette. Armrests offer horizontal, forward/backward, rotational, and height adjustments. The padding is firm with thick side bolsters, giving a racing‑seat feel.
Assembly
Assembly is straightforward: castors click into place, backrest and seat bolt together, then numbered connectors for motor, heating/cooling, massage and battery are plugged in. The entire process can be completed without tools beyond the supplied screwdriver.
Comfort & Ergonomics
The seat is deep and slightly tilted upward, causing legs to dangle for some users. The backrest follows the spine’s natural curve, and inflatable air bags add extra lumbar support. The headrest doubles as a pillow when reclined.
Key Features
- 8‑point massage: Eight motorized rollers deliver firm, targeted pressure.
- Heating/Cooling: Three intensity levels for both heat and ventilation.
- Battery: Built‑in battery powers massage and temperature functions for up to 4 hours under continuous max load, roughly 2 days in typical use.
Battery Life & Power Management
Both heating/cooling and massage run for 10 minutes before auto‑shutoff. Users must manually restart the functions, which can be inconvenient during long sessions.
Pros & Cons
- Premium steel construction and durable leatherette.
- Powerful 8‑point massage, superior to basic vibration chairs.
- Effective heating; cooling is modest.
- Extensive arm‑rest adjustability.
- High price point ($899).
- Legs may dangle for shorter users.
- Manual restart required for heat/massage cycles.
Verdict
The Martian Pro delivers on its promise of luxury with solid build quality, a standout massage system, and useful temperature controls. While the price is steep and some ergonomic quirks exist, the feature set can justify the cost for gamers and professionals seeking an all‑in‑one premium chair.
