Practical test with three test subjects
The practical test was again carried out with three test persons in order to cover as broad a spectrum as possible and to collect many impressions. I based the criteria on Igor’s test reports and because this was well received in the last chair reviews, I used this table again here.
Summary person 1 (1,59m/ 60kg)
“I like the ICOS very much in terms of quality and appearance. The elegant shape in plain black fits both in the office and in a “gamer’s den”. I like it better than the Recaro, but in the end both would be too expensive for me.”
Summary Person 2 (1.83m/ 62kg)
“The understated look looks serious and will definitely look good in a modern office. The workmanship and material feel seems very high quality, with the leather and metal also more premium than the Recaro. Both chairs are comfortable and allow for comfortable work.”
Summary person 3 (1,88m/ 123kg)
“For my stature, the seat could be a bit wider. Overall, the ICOS is very very close to the Recaro and the materials actually seem higher quality in places. However, I’m debating with myself if the Quersus is worth the 100€ premium over the RAE.”
Comparison with SecretLab Titan EVO XL and Recaro RAE Essential
The testers had the opportunity to try out all three chairs in a direct comparison test. It was interesting to see how much the preferences differ. Person 1 and + 2 both found the ICOS visually the most attractive, but the upholstery was too hard for them. What I also found amazing was the value of a brand’s image. The Recaro for 599€ was somehow still justified – it is a Recaro after all! But the Quersus for 100€ more did not go at all, although the material input is in places nevertheless clearly higher than with the Recaro. However, despite significantly different statures, all agreed that the ICOS is a comfortable chair with a lot of adjustment options.
