Best GTPlayer Gaming Chair in 2022 (Previously GTRacing)
Let's find the best GTPlayer gaming chairs of 2022
GTPlayer, previously known as GTRacing, gaming chairs have been becoming more and more popular in recent months as they offer some of the best gaming chairs in a lower price bracket, for around half the money of the real premium manufacturers such as Secretlab. Of course, we are still looking at paying around $200 so we aren’t completely in the budget market, and for that money, you want to make sure you get a decent gaming chair. GTPlayer separates their lineup into series’. So we’ve made sure to include one from their Ace series, Pro series, and Music series.

In-depth Review
GTPlayer eSports Gaming Chair GT002
GTPlayer eSports Gaming Chair GT002
This high-quality gaming chair manages to look at home both in the office and as part of your gaming setup. And, it delivers top-level comfort without breaking the bank. Additionally, it comes with clear instructions for the assembly, which is high praise as we’ve come across a lot of chairs with some pretty awful directions.
Being easy-to-clean is an often overlooked aspect of a gaming chair, even though you might be spending hours, even eating and drinking in it. Fortunately, this is one of the easiest chairs to wipe clean we have come across to date.
One of the most popular choices in the sub-$200 category is the GTPlayer eSports Gaming Chair. This is a solid, well-built gaming chair that will look good in both gaming and office environments (although admittedly the all-black versions would work better in the office).
The armrests may not be padded but they can be adjusted up and down as well as left to right. That aside, this has industrial-grade wheels or casters. The easy-to-clean PU leather combined lumbar support and neck headrest, made this gaming chair both functional and comfortable.
This chair can even recline up to 170 degrees for those post-win naps. Other people do that, right?
GTPlayer GT890M Sakura Pink Gaming Chair
GTPlayer GT890M Sakura Pink Gaming Chair
If you are looking for a chair that is straight out of your anime dreams, this is a decent option – and for a decent price too. A lot of GTPlayer chairs feature Bluetooth speakers, including this one, so you can play music from your phone to either of the speakers placed on either side of your head.
The sound quality isn’t amazing but it might be a nice little addition if you think you have a use for that. Recline-wise the chair folds back to a near-horizontal 170 degrees so you can get that all-important nap time in. The seat is comfy and packed with high-density foam so you shouldn’t find it going flat on you any time soon.
GTPlayer Gaming Chair with Footrest
GTPlayer Gaming Chair with Footrest
Crafted from a sturdy metal frame designed to support up to 300lbs, a major highlight of this chair is the ergonomic flexibility. Able to recline to a near-horizontal position (170°), with the aid of the flip-up footrest, it could easily facilitate some dynamite pre or post-game naps. What’s more, 3D armrests provide support for almost any body type.
We’ve all needed a massage mid-way through a hard day’s work or intensive Starcraft match and that’s exactly what this chair provides. The massage function of the lumbar support is strong enough to really get your blood flowing, relieving stress in what can be a problem area, affording you a few more key hours of comfortable gameplay.
The patented design, full-range speakers located in the wings can hit some surprisingly high volumes before the low end gets a little flappy or the mids become boomy, which is great. Don’t expect the most detailed sound profile ever, but considering their size and 5-meter range, they provide some rich and immersive audio.
Beneath this chair’s devilishly smooth PU coat is a generous lining of HD (or HR…same thing) foam, supplying shed loads of support while large nylon casters keep movement over most floor types buttery smooth.
GTPlayer Music Series GT890M-WHITE
GTPlayer Music Series GT890M-WHITE
The GT890M provides a solid gaming chair choice that won’t break the bank. With a light-weight frame the GT890M can be easily assembled and included within any home setup. The Bluetooth connectivity means you can easily connect your PC, laptop or phone audio to the chair, immersing yourself in game audio or your favourite music. The audio quality isn’t as premium as other options but still provides a good level of sound for everyday use.
The GT890M has a number of customisation options to allow for recline and armrest adjustment. This chair is perfectly poised for the gifting market and makes a great addition to any Christmas or Birthday list.
GTPlayer Music Series GT890M-BLUE
GTPlayer Music Series GT890M-BLUE
Similar to the white variant, the GT890M (Blue) has all of the features listed above but in a striking electric blue finish. As a gift for a younger sibling, this is perfect for getting them immersed in their games for hours on end. For seasoned veterans and those with larger frames, the GT890M might not be the best option for long gaming sessions.
The seat is comfy and sturdy enough, with the sleek racing design making the perfect addition to any young gamer setup.

Final Word
It’s plain to see here that you can pick up a pretty decent gaming chair for, comparatively, not a lot of money. It’s still a big outlay on a chair, but what price is your comfort and posture worth in the long run? GTPlayer has managed to slot nicely into a niche where they sit comfortably above some of the budget offerings that you find out there, but also not costing an arm and leg like some of the bigger boys. Yes, there are going to be compromises but fundamentally you are getting a decent piece of furniture with any of the choices here. We just wish the footrests felt a little more stable. If you are going to add things like this on they need to be right, and maybe, in the current iterations, a little more work needs to be done before the next models arrive.
