After more than two weeks of testing, I consider the AndaSeat Kaiser 3 Pro to be very comfortable and stylish, although it doesn't offer anything revolutionary.
Sometimes, simplicity can be more effective, and this gaming chair embodies that idea perfectly.
The AndaSeat Kaiser 3 Pro XL does not represent a disruptive change in the gaming chair market; instead, it incorporates the best features of the standard 3 model while adding the 5D armrests found in other models from the brand. This combination results in a comfortable chair with a mid-range price and a design that fits well with an average gaming setup, although some aspects of its manufacturing could be improved.
Advantages
- Good ergonomics for larger individuals.
- Exceptional comfort.
- Balances the offerings between models 3 and 4.
Disadvantages
- Assembly can be complicated.
- The synthetic leather is not very breathable.
- The 5D armrests may not be to everyone's liking.
Although it is a re-edition of the original Kaiser 3, the Kaiser 3 Pro mainly distinguishes itself by the inclusion of the 5D armrests, which have generated mixed opinions among users and critics. Its reputation for comfort remains intact, thanks to the cold foam padding and ergonomic support, including a magnetic headrest.
However, there are doubts about the appeal of the 5D armrests, as they do not seem to be an innovative feature. Their oversized design may feel uncomfortable for some users, particularly those of shorter stature. Nonetheless, the XL series positions itself as an outstanding option for those needing more space and who do not feel constricted by the lateral reinforcements found in other models.
The assembly process presents its challenges. Some users have reported issues with damaged parts during shipping and difficulties in adjusting certain nuts. Despite this, the assembly is less complicated compared to other models in the same range.
Regarding pricing and availability, the Kaiser 3 Pro costs approximately $550. However, it has geographical limitations, being more accessible in the United States than in the United Kingdom, where options are reduced to the standard Kaiser 3. Furthermore, the price of the Kaiser 3 XL is significantly lower, despite offering nearly the same features, raising questions about the value of the 5D armrests.

The design of the Kaiser 3 Pro maintains a classic cube chair style, with high-quality materials that provide an attractive finish. A more understated aesthetic has been chosen compared to other brands, which can be pleasing in a work or gaming environment.
In terms of comfort, the chair stands out for its luxurious padding and lumbar support that offers a satisfying experience, although the durability of the material has been tested with favorable results.
Despite its assembly challenges and some debatable features, the Kaiser 3 Pro can be a good option for those seeking a traditional and comfortable chair without the need for the more modern options on the market.
