CONCLUSION
Due to both COVID-19 (shipping issues) and me hurting my right arm early last year I was in no shape to review gaming chairs (carrying/moving their boxes and then the chairs themselves was out of the question really) so it’s been over a year since any arrived in the lab. The Alphaeon S3 by Tesoro is the first of many to come in 2022 and it’s actually a very good gaming chair. Yes, I would like to see the Z-support mechanism instead of the usual butterfly one and there were a couple of stitching issues with my sample (Tesoro assures me this was an isolated issue) but everything else from the quality (thickness) of the faux PU leather and the density of the cold foam to its large size, 3D armrests and available colors the Alphaeon S3 delivers on them all.
So, just how much does the Alphaeon S3 gaming chair by Tesoro cost? Well, at the time of this review it retails from 199Euros and up to 269Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) depending on color so pretty much what I’d expect from such a gaming chair (especially with everything happening in the market right now). Overall I can’t say that the Alphaeon S3 brings anything new on the table compared to many other models that I’ve tested over the years (although the front extension is a nice touch) but it is a solid choice for people looking for a new gaming chair (as long as they can find it for a good price) and certainly deserves the Golden Award.
