The Titan Pro Ace II was officially released in July of 2019. It’s a stylish, modern looking unit that packs the latest in massage chair technology.
But is this chair worth the $$$, or are there other chairs in the market with better “bang for your buck”? Don’t fret because we’re gonna dive into the details of the Pro Ace II and see how it really stacks up when put to the test. For now, let’s look at 6 interesting features about this chair!
Things can get pretty darn confusing if you’re new to the world of massage chairs. It’s all the lingo we use to describe various features! In any case, let me try to explain rollers in a manner that’s easy to understand.
Rollers are a mechanical contraption that consists of doughnut shaped discs mounted on a spindle. Below is an image of what most rollers on massage chairs typically look like.
Rollers are the most integral part of a massage chair. They are the one single component that’s responsible for delivering 70% of massage to the body. The remaining 30% of massage are delivered by airbags (we’ll talk about airbags later).
Currently there are 3 different types of rollers you can find on massage chairs. 2D rollers are the most basic and are usually found on the entry level, inexpensive units. 3D rollers are slightly more complex and can be found on your intermediate massage chairs. 4D rollers are the creme de la creme, the most sophisticated of them all, and can be found on your $6-10K high end massage chairs!
I won’t talk about 4D in this post as I think that digresses from the discussion. Instead let’s look at how 2D and 3D rollers function, and how they differ from one another!
In #1 we spoke about 3D rollers and how they function, but roller track is another important facet that one should always look at when considering a massage chair. Roller track looks at 2 things in particular:
The Titan Pro Ace II comes with a total of 12 airbags. These have been strategically placed in the hands, arms, shoulders, legs, and feet area of the chair.
Osaki, Titan, & APEX are basically the same company. One initiative/optimization I’ve seen on these brands of chairs is a reduction in airbag counts, while at the same time an increase in airbag surface area coverage. If you ask me, this is perfect for 2 reasons!
Important to explain this as most folks have deemed this a shortcoming without considering why Titan even implemented this in their design.
Another cool design improvement that’s common to most Osaki/Titan/APEX chairs is something known as space saving recline.
The idea is to minimize the space required from the back of the chair to the wall. For the Titan Pro Ace II, this distance is 6”. That is, you require a total of 6” from the chair’s back to the wall.
If you have a big house with a ton of space, this feature is probably gonna mean nothing to you. However, if you’re like most of us and tight on space in your home, then this can make a difference between whether you buy one chair from another!
Finding the right massage chair is all about balance if you ask me. On one end, a good chair will have advanced technology capable of performing a variety of techniques under various intensities. On the other end, a good chair should also have considerations for user experience.
Titan have done a fairly decent job here by including 6 pre-programmed auto modes into the Pro Ace II. These are:
Note: You are able to vary the intensity to some degree for any of the 6 modes above. I recommend you first start with a low intensity and then build your way up.
Pretty much a common in 95% of massage chairs is a feature known as zero gravity.
The spine is at its most relaxed state, and the lungs have increased capacity. What does the zero gravity position look like? Kinda like the massage chair is almost inverted!
What does massaging in zero gravity feel like? Based on my experiences (on my chair – which isn’t the Pro Ace II!), zero gravity is my standard whenever I use my massage chair! It just feels way more relaxing than sitting in a normal position.
The Titan Pro Ace II has 3 steps of zero gravity, so a user can basically customize the angle of recline to their liking. It honestly doesn’t make too much sense to me, and i think this is one of those marketing things!
That being said, I just don’t see how you can have multiple stages of zero gravity. In any case, it’s not a shortcoming of the Pro Ace II in any way.
Ever heard the phrase “compare apples to apples” or some variation to that? That phrase becomes especially important when comparing massage chairs!
Because the Pro Ace II is a 3D chair, we will seek to compare it against similar 3D chairs on the market. One of my favorite models currently on the market is the Osaki Pro Admiral, so we’ll be comparing it against that as well as the Titan Pro Jupiter XL. The Pro Jupiter XL is also an incredibly high performing chair with a plethora of features!
49” L-Track, 24 airbags, and arguably my favorite thing about this chair is the 16 auto modes! In terms of user experience, the Pro Admiral is an absolute beast!
Based on current pricing, the Titan Pro Ace II is significantly cheaper than the other 2, so this is a definite consideration. The biggest factors based on the above table that really make a difference when it comes to buying are the following:
It’s a tough question to answer. It really comes down to how okay you are with 6 auto modes versus 16! If you don’t see yourself using the chair’s auto modes as often, or you prefer the flexibility of manual mode, maybe you ought to save yourself a chunk of cash and opt for the Pro Ace II.
If you’re not okay with the fewer auto modes, then maybe you need to look into considering the Pro Admiral or Pro Jupiter XL.
And because all 3 chairs are essentially from the same company, you can expect a lot of similarities in technology and workmanship. That being said, I don’t think you could really go wrong whichever of the 3 you choose from!
