The Anda Seat Kaiser 4 might represent the pinnacle of high-end gaming chairs. Its predecessor, the Kaiser 3, combined the best features of the Secretlab Titan Evo with a softer, more comfortable seat. Now, the Kaiser 4 raises the bar even further with a flip-out lumbar support and dynamic 5D armrests. Versus the Titan Evo, the Kaiser 4 stands out as a strong, potentially superior gaming chair alternative.
Secretlab’s flagship Titan chair went through four iterations (2016-2022) before reaching near-perfection with its Titan Evo edition.
Following the Titan Evo’s success, AndaSeat launched the Kaiser 3 in 2022 with similar functionality. The Kaiser 3 went through three revamps. The latest is the second iteration of the Kaiser 4.

Anda Kaiser 4 Vs Secretlab Titan Evo
Having tested both models, the Kaiser 4’s superior functionality is evident, but the difference in sitting experience is equally significant. Although both chairs come with 65 kg/m³ padding density, Anda Seat adds an extra layer of foam on top.
This difference is immediately noticeable: the Kaiser 4 offers a fluffier sitting experience, cushioned by this extra layer while maintaining the core density. Key differences:
- Functionality: the Kaiser 4 has more adjustable lumbar support and armrests.
- Sizing: the Titan has small, medium, and XL sizes. The Kaiser 4 is available in large and XL.
- Sitting experience: the Titan has a firmer seat; the Kaiser 4 has a fluffier one.
- Value for money: both cost under $600 with 5-year warranties.
Chair Functionality: Kaiser 4 Wins
Mild pressure to the lower back helps maintain a straight spine while sitting — but every spine is unique. Effective lumbar adjustability lets users customize support to match their specific lower back curve.
In 2021, Secretlab set a new standard in gaming chairs with its integrated 4-way adjustable lumbar support system.
Kaiser 4: Superior Lumbar Functionality
The Kaiser 4 features a similar 4-way adjustable lumbar system — but takes it a step further with a flip-out lumbar unit. This gives users more customization options to support their lower backs.
Brilliantly, the controls for the flip-up functionality are embedded in the right side of the seat as dials. Having them within such easy reach makes the flip-out aspect a lot more tempting (and fun) to use.
Kaiser 4: Superior Armrest Adjustability
Beyond the lumbar unit, the Kaiser 4 also exceeds the Titan with superb 6D armrests. The traditional 4D adjustments (up, down, side to side, forward/ back) have a larger range than Titan armrests.
Beyond the 4D adjustments, you can also rotate two ways and tilt the arms to support reading or mobile computing.
Neither of these features are game-changers. The point of both chairs remains dynamic neutral posture support. However, the Kaiser 4’s flip-out lumbar and 6D arms clearly give users many more options to customize their sitting experience.
Chair Sizing: Titan Wins
The Titan comes in small, medium, and XL sizes. The Kaiser 4 comes in large or XL sizes. Titan medium vs Kaiser 4 large specs:

Sitting Experience
The Titan Evo and Kaiser 4 both come with firm 65 kg/m³ seat padding densities. Firm padding provides better stability, which places less strain on back muscles while sitting. However, some complain that the Titan’s padding feels too firm.
To address that, Anda Seat lays an extra layer of softer padding atop the seat block. The result is a much softer, more cushiony sitting experience. Combined with the flip-up lumbar and 5D arms, the Kaiser 4 provides a more casual, versatile ride.
In contrast, the Titan’s firmer feel and classic support adjustments provides (in my experience) better support for biomechanically perfect neutral postures (0° neck tilt + 25-45° lower back curve).
Bottom line: ergonomic purists wanting the best possible neutral sitting support should consider the Titan. Casual gamers wanting a softer, more versatile experience should consider the Kaiser 4.
Value For Money
Both models boast superb build qualities, 5-year warranties, and solid after-care support. Prices are comparable.

Conclusion: Two Awesome Chairs
The Titan Evo and Anda Seat Kaiser 4 both support dynamic neutral postures over long periods. If you’ve after classic neutral posture support, the Titan remains the premier choice.
On the flip side, those not obsessed with perfect neutral sitting postures will enjoy the Kaiser 4 chair’s softer seat and extra adjustable features.
