DXRacer Martian Series Review: This Gaming Chair Goes Full (Luxury) Sci-Fi

Wow, this is really comfortable,” I said as the chair automatically reclined, feeling just like adjusting a car seat. Fully lying down with my legs supported by a leg rest that was actually long enough for my 6’2″ frame, I started to relax – and that’s saying something! It could be the warmth of the heated seat, the way the chair perfectly cradles my body, or maybe the gentle kneading of the “wave” massage mode – one of six options. Whatever it was, I knew I’d found something amazing to add to my gaming setup.

As a longtime gamer, I’ve seen DXRacer everywhere – at esports events, in all my favorite streamers’ setups, you name it! They really were the first big name in gaming chairs, and honestly, they set the standard for a lot of the brands we see today. It’s cool to see how much the market has changed, even if there are a lot of options now. It used to be all about that racing-style look, but now it’s all about comfort and cool features. And their new Martian Series chair? Wow. It’s not just a chair, it’s like they’ve built a spaceship command center for gamers. It’s got all this electric-powered luxury – a huge step up from the gaming chairs of the past!

The Martian Series chair costs $699, which is a considerable amount of money. But is its innovative design and comfort level worth the high price? After thoroughly testing the chair for several weeks, it’s clear that the Martian Series truly lives up to its name – it’s exceptional.

Premium Design With Sci-Fi Flair

The Martian gaming chair moves away from the typical racing look, opting for a sleeker, more modern design. It ditches the loud stripes and logos for a cleaner shape that fits well in a gaming setup or a professional home office. There’s a hint of racing style in a subtle stripe on the seat, and a small LED light on the recline control adds a touch of gamer style without being overly flashy.

I really appreciate well-designed packaging, and I’ve often been frustrated by complicated furniture assembly – it can be as difficult as putting together IKEA products! The Martian chair was a welcome change. It only took me 15 minutes to assemble, which is fantastic. I’m pretty good at building things, but the team who designed the packaging deserves a lot of credit for making the process so simple. Even if you don’t consider yourself handy, you should be able to put this chair together easily right out of the box.

The Martian gaming chair feels solid and well-built – it’s definitely not flimsy. This gives you immediate confidence in its quality, although you might need some help putting it together. Unlike cheaper chairs that often feel cheap, the Martian feels like a high-end product from the moment you see it.

Electric Adjustability: The Martian’s Defining Feature

The best feature of this chair is the electric recline – you can adjust the backrest with the touch of a button, anywhere from 90 to 135 degrees. I’m used to automatic seats in my car, but it’s surprisingly satisfying to adjust my gaming chair with a button instead of a lever. The smooth, motorized movement lets you easily switch from a focused, upright position for work, to a relaxed gaming angle, all the way to a fully reclined position for rest – it really elevates the experience, especially since the leg rest can be tucked away when you don’t need it.

I’ve been shifting around and changing my posture a lot more lately, just because I can. It might help prevent stiffness from sitting or gaming for long periods, but honestly, it’s effortless, so I figure, why not?

Smart Lumbar and Ergonomic Support

I’ve been in marketing for more than ten years, so I’m used to buzzwords – and the “4D electric airbag lumbar system” definitely sounds like one! But it actually makes sense once you try it; it really does mold to the natural shape of your spine. The chair lets you adjust support for both your upper and lower back independently, which is something standard lumbar pillows can’t do. This provides much better support and helps prevent lower back fatigue – and that’s saying something, considering I have mild scoliosis. Honestly, I’ve never been a big fan of traditional lumbar pillows anyway.

The DXRacer ERGO SPINESYNC backrest is designed to match the natural curve of your spine, providing excellent support. It’s made with a special dual-density foam that’s both comfortable and supportive, so you can sit for long periods without discomfort or pressure points.

Armrests, Headrest, and Fine-Tuning

The chair’s 4D armrests are incredibly adjustable and feel really high-quality – I was surprised, actually, because one came loose when I moved the chair and I thought I’d broken it! Luckily, they attach magnetically, making them easy to move and they click securely into place – it’s really satisfying. I even found myself taking them on and off just because it’s fun. The magnetic head pillow is also super comfortable and can be positioned exactly where you want it, which is a big improvement over the flimsy straps on most chairs that always wear out.

While the electric features get a lot of attention, these smaller details are actually what make the chair truly comfortable – and that’s what matters most to me. They let you easily adjust the chair to find the perfect position, whether you’re typing, gaming, or doing a bit of both, without any complicated adjustments.

Power, Battery Life, and Practicality

The Martian’s 5,000mAh battery is surprisingly power-efficient. I was able to use it for almost two weeks on a single charge. The charging cable retracts neatly, and you can even continue using the device while it’s plugged in.

Do I need a chair with a battery? Not really, but it’s a nice addition. My gaming setup already has a lot of cables, and this helps avoid even more. It’s definitely a luxury, but it’s getting to the point where it feels like something you’d expect in a gaming chair these days.

The Martian’s interior is wonderfully comfortable too. The heated and cooled seats are a lifesaver whether it’s a freezing winter night or a scorching summer day. Plus, the six-mode back massager actually works and, surprisingly, feels good – I don’t usually say that about machine massagers, as I often find them ineffective and even painful.

Houston, We’re Comfortable

The DXRacer Martian Series is a truly impressive gaming chair. It’s changed my mind about what luxury features can actually do for comfort, moving beyond simple extras to deliver a genuinely comfortable experience. With its electric adjustments, intelligent lumbar support, and high-quality build, it feels as futuristic as its space-themed name suggests.

At $699, this device is definitely a premium purchase, probably more than what most casual gamers need. But for those who stream, play competitively, or use their computer for both gaming and work, the benefits make the price worthwhile. Your back will appreciate it, even if it can’t tell you so!
