It’s been a long time coming since I’ve done a massage chair review! Last couple months have all been super busy doing other things around the house, so I haven’t really had time to sit down and draft a review post. That’s about to change, because today I got nothing but time!
Like most of the chairs I review these days, the Omega is a fairly new release (fourth quarter of 2020). There’s a lot of cool features to talk about, which we’ll get to in a minute, but for now I wanted to talk a little bit about how the Omega looks.
What do you think? Not too shabby eh!? For an entry level chair, the design and color combinations are pretty sharp. Speaking about colors, the Omega comes in 3: taupe, black, or brown. My personal favorite is the Taupe, but it comes with a huge disadvantage: cleaning might prove to be a challenge, especially stains. Then again it’s not like you’re gonna be eating on a massage chair!
We’ve spoken in great detail about massage chair rollers in the past, and that’s because they are the single most important component in any massage chair. A well designed, well choreographed set of rollers determines how good of a massage you will get.
That’s actually all it comes down to: choreography and technology, or software and hardware is another way of looking at it. If you have good software and hardware, massage is set!
When it comes to massage chairs, there are 3 types of rollers:
The Omega comes equipped with latest in 3D technology. Basically you get more flexibility when it comes to adjusting strength, width, and speed.
Moving on to another important aspect of the roller system….roller track. What is roller track? The simplest way of thinking about it is when you think in terms of a train and train track. The track allows the train to travel from point A to B, similarly a roller track facilitates roller movement from neck to lower back, or in this case neck to glutes.
Both these types of tracks allow the roller to traverse an extended distance from upper neck pretty much all the way right down to the glutes. The roller distance for the Omega is approximately 48-50”.
Foot rollers are pretty standard and you can find them on most massage chairs, including the entry level models (of course there are exceptions to this). Calf rollers on the other hand, not so common. They’re a bit of a rarity if I’m honest, and I’ve even seen some high level advanced chairs that come without calf rollers. That being said, you will find most of the expensive chairs come equipped with these.
And yes it does make a massive difference, at least in my opinion. Most massage chairs perform poorly in these 2 areas:
Props to Titan for at least attempting to resolve the issue by fitting the Omega with calf rollers. I’d like to see the first issue also being addressed by manufacturers in the future. I’m sure we are not too far away from seeing arm rollers fitted on massage chairs!
Titan/Osaki chairs have done really well over the last couple years to ensure anyone and everyone can own a massage chair. For one, their prices are more reasonable than most (speaking from experience), and for two, they have designed their chairs to be able to fit in spaces without requiring much clearance.
For the Omega this clearance is 1”! This would of course be a moot point for someone who has tons of space to play around with when it comes to massage chair placement. Definitely a good feature to still have!
If you’re lazy like I am, auto modes are your jam! Get off work, jump into your massage chair, power the bad boy on, pick a mode and away you go!
The Omega gives you 8 different options to pick from when it comes to auto modes. These are shown below. The 6 massage techniques that the Omega are able to perform are also shown below.
Basically the 6 techniques are combined and choreographed to give you these auto modes, so there’s no fussing around with manual settings trying to figure things out for yourself.
These days it’s all about less. Less power consumption, less electrical and mechanical parts, and yes….even less airbags! To be quite honest, I don’t mind the direction we are headed. For one, it makes for a more environmentally friendly chair, and two it also helps the end user save on his/her power bill!
Airbag number does make a difference yes, but not as much as you think. Manufacturers have been able to optimize airbag surface coverage and have therefore been able to do away with the additional airbags. It saves them on manufacturing costs of course, and massage coverage/experience also doesn’t suffer. A win-win if you ask me!
As good as one massage chair may be, it would be foolish to go ahead and make a purchase without first seeing how it compares against similar chairs on the market. Just as you would research all the options before buying a car, so to you should do your research before buying a massage chair. I cannot overstate this enough!
For this reason, we’ll be comparing the Omega to Osaki’s Otmaic LE as well as the Ador Allure also by Titan Osaki.
Why am I comparing 3 chairs belonging to the same brand i.e. Titan Osaki? Well, for one all 3 of these chairs are fairly new releases so it not only makes for a fair comparison but also gives you an idea of what to expect when looking for a massage chair, and two, there’s a lot of diversity believe it or not with Titan Osaki chairs.
So what do ya figure? It should be pretty clear from the above comparison that the Allure is the highest performing chair from the lot. However….
While it is the highest performing chair, it isn’t the most economical! And of course price is an important consideration, probably the most important from all! The cheapest chair from all is the Omega, and the difference is significant.
Well, if money is not a concern, then the Allure by all means is a phenomenal chair that will not disappoint. But if you’re like me and bang for your buck is your decider, then the Omega or the Otamic are both great options.
It’s a tough decision between the Otamic and the Omega, but I might be very slightly leaning towards the Omega mainly because of the calf rollers and the difference they make.
Also the Omega is at this time cheaper than the Otamic, so both of these would push me in favor of the Omega.
I’ve touched on the key points you need to know of when looking at the Omega. All in all, a fantastic chair with great performance and even better pricing. If you still have unanswered questions, definitely feel free to drop a comment down below and I can work to get you a response.
Otherwise, stay safe, and more importantly, stay well. Till next time!
