Noblechairs Hero Black Gaming Chair Review

The fun thing about being a hardware reviewer is that I get asked to do articles for all types of products.  Some products are easy to review, like motherboards, these marvels of silicon and copper are the literal heart of the PC and tell so many wild stories.  While other products like video cards have become a monster undertaking due to the armchair army expecting weeks of administrative work to deliver an article that won’t flamed in the comments.  Point is, reviews are intended to be independent opinions about a certain product that is often backed up by verifiable data.

What is interesting is that very few, including armchair army, verify the data making the article more of a guide to help users and enthusiasts make informed buying decisions and, most of the time these articles can be very subjective, like a reviewer who is hard of hearing saying that the latest XYZ desktop speakers are the bomb because the specs say so.

This brings me to the subject of this review, the Noblechairs Hero Black.  Noblechairs is a very well-known brand in Europe and is considered one of the premium brands when it comes to buying a high-quality gaming chair.  In the United States, the brand is promoted by the ProGamersGroup and is a vendor I have met with many times over the past several years.  PGG helps to computer hardware brands by establishing a sales and marketing channel allowing the company to focus on making great products while PGG takes care of everything else.

However, the question still remains.  How do you review a gaming chair?  Most influencers will tell you that the chair is comfortable and that if you don’t buy it, they will have to donate their cat to the local pet shelter.  Some overtly technical furniture nerds will start to dive into the nuances between stitch quality and thread choice when it comes to hold quality of organic materials in the harsh environment of Cheeto fueled gaming and indigestion.   

Myself, I am a little more practical and wanted to focus on features and then give you my elevator speech at the end.  If that helps you make an informed buying decision, then I did a great job AND, if you used my Amazon affiliate link to buy your own Noblechairs Hero Black then YOU did a great job.

Let’s dive in, starting with the box the Hero Black is delivered in.  Oh, it should be noted that the Noblechairs Hero is available in a number of different colors and material choices so, while I say “Hero Black” I am simply describing that, the chair I got is black and is made from “High-Tech Faux Leather”.  Of course, have options such as Faux Leather, Real Leather and Fabric along with options to get logo versions featuring artwork from Doom and Fallout to name a few.

As you can see the Noblechairs Hero comes with a ton of features and they do a very good job at disclosing the various measurements on their website.  For those looking for specifics, you will want to put forth some effort and make some measurements of your own before driving full bore down the Hero path or any of the other chairs in the Noblechairs lineup.
