Libernovo Omni Pro Review: Cooler than you think
Libernovo's Omni Pro is a dynamic, ergonomic gaming chair with motorized lumbar support and a ventilation fan that works surprisingly well.
Libernovo, a relatively new player in the gaming chair market, released its first chair about a year ago. The company's original Omni chair impressed many with its lightweight design, dynamic ergonomics, and comfort. Now, Libernovo is offering variations of the Omni, including a cheaper Omni SE, a fancier Omni Pro, and a sturdier version for taller and heavier individuals. We are reviewing the more premium Omni Pro model.
Compared to the original Omni, the Omni Pro has several upgrades, such as a reinforced aluminum alloy base, more durable fabric, and a built-in seat ventilation fan. The fan works surprisingly well, as it doesn't blow air towards you but rather draws it away from you. Priced at $1,299, the Omni Pro is slightly more expensive than the original Omni, which retails for $1,299 but is often discounted to $1,109. The chair comes with a StepSync footrest and an extra battery, with prices ranging from $1,183 to $1,247.
Assembly of the Omni Pro requires some effort, as it has built-in electronics and is more complex than other gaming chairs. However, it is also easier to assemble than most chairs due to its lightweight nature and smaller, manageable pieces. The chair includes all necessary tools, such as work gloves, a hex screwdriver, and hardware packaged in labeled bags. Instructions are provided in a large box insert and a separate user manual, which are relatively easy to follow.
The Omni Pro shares a similar design to the regular Libernovo Omni, featuring an articulated backrest that moves with your body and a compact, lightweight construction. It comes in two colors: graphite (dark gray) and glacier (light gray, almost white). Our review unit was in graphite, with dark gray upholstery, a dark gray frame, a black wheelbase, and silver accent buttons.
The fabric upholstery, Gabriel Atlantic fabric, is more durable and breathable than the original Omni's fabric, but it feels slightly more abrasive. The aluminum wheelbase adds weight, bringing the total weight to 55.8 pounds (25.31kg), which is heavier than the original Omni's 48 pounds (21.77kg), but still not excessively heavy for a gaming chair. The chair also includes additional buttons for controlling the underseat ventilation fan.
