I really wish they would have read the directions before they tried the adjustments. There is miss-information in the video. The front knob with the blue height adjust is for tilt tension not a different zone of back adjustment. The back knob on the right side is the only for adjusting the posture fit. On the back left hand side there is the tilt limiter arm that will allow you to tilt back more or less.
Yeah that irritated me so much, how can you inform your viewers on a product when you don’t even know how to use it.

Herman miller chair’s don’t just give that ahhh feeling when you sit on it. Its that it’s still just as confortable after 8-12 hours.
Plus they hold their reseller value just like apple products
Thats one of the differences between real chairs and "Gaming" chairs. The other big one is quality. Bought my chair secondhand 15 years ago and it is still going strong
Also, the only chair i found with good lower back support
I've thought of buying a herman miller for years. But right now, i use a normal DxRacer Gaming Chair from 2013 with a piece of lamb skin that i can lean up and sit on, which makes this gaming chair so much more comfortable. Without Lamb skin, i can sit in it for a couple of hours, with the lamb skin i can sit in it for at least 16 hours. Btw, lamb skin, isn't just the skin, it's the skin with the whool attached, so i sit on the whool, and it's so comfortable.

apparently this chair is just a reskin of one of their existing chairs, so to say that Logitech helpt with the chair might be overselling it.
It is the newest version of Herman Miller's normal embody chair, just with gaming aesthetic.
it looks like Logi redesigned the aesthetics of the normal HM chair, so I guess it's enough to put the G logo on it
More like might be selling it. What Logitech did here is introduce herman miller to the gamer market segment.
BUT CAN IT DO THIS
Yes and actually no, so Herman Miller and Logitech did work together on this for ergonomics(sitting angles absolutely matter for how people sit. Some people love to sit back, this isn't for that), and the cooling pads which help when/if you sit in the chair for a long time. Also helps that apparently they cost the exact same amount.
"Free" shipping AKA shipping cost baked into the final cost of the product
Which I definitely prefer. Give me the real price of everything, you cowards.

First of all, I was very happy with how fast this item was delivered. kzhead.infoUgkxYR69rUVDfF56JHQRldV2uJeXaPA9LTZW It came a day before the listed delivery date, which was super great! I was able to assemble it myself with no difficult and I am not an engineer or a put-it-together expert. The chair is super comfortable, I play video games for roughly 3-4 hours at a time and it does not make my back hurt or neck hurt. The Reclining function actually surprised me because it goes very low, you could fall asleep on it ( and in fact i have while laying on it with a foot rest for my legs). The red is a bold choice and I usually stay away but I love how the red and black contrast looks on this type of material. The wheels on this chair are very very quiet, I have wood vinyl in my apartment and there is absolutely no noise. OVERALL, I WOULD RECOMMEND or BUY IT AGAIN !
I wasn't convinced until colton got me with the free shipping.
Lol! And it arrives assembled, with a 12 year warranty, don’t forget that! (I’d rather save a few bucks and attach a few pieces, but I’m not everyone)
The knob towards the front is for tilt tension (NOTHING to do with the back support), paddle on the left rear is for tilt lock, and the rearwards knob is to adjust the entire 'backfit'. Also the height adjustment toggle can be pulled in any direction. This is basically nothing more than an Embody with Logitech branding, and can be found lightly used for
everyone seems to be overlooking the copper infusion new to this model. it DOES have a cooling effect and IS ANTIMICROBIAL.
These guys have no idea about real office chairs since they spend most time as fake gamer personalities in the first place.
take it easy on these noobs. A used quality chair for 300-800 is worth every penny if you sit a better half of day at a desk/ gaming pc.
Totally agree, get regular office chair instead of any "gaming" chair. Herman Miller are quite expensive but worth if you spend your day in a chair
@@DJ-PWR I didn't overlook it, but rather feel it adds nothing tangible to the product, Ive had an Embody for years (12+ hours a day) and have never had an issue with heat. And while its still an additional 'feature': Its a $300 add.
Ah Vincero, selling $10 chinese watches at a 2000% markup since 2015
$10 is pushing it, I’ve seen that style of watch on Alibaba for £3. With a QC upgrade from the factory, it’s going to be less than £4.

Literally a scam company, Shortcircuit channel needs to remove them immediately.
Pretty embarrassing sponsor to have.
Had this chair for over 10 years now and still like new, the built quality is amazing, no sagging or any issues with wheels at all
That knob you first adjust is just tilt tension, it doesnt change anything on the back at all. Second one changes the back curvature but you don't have to be seated for it to conform to your back, it conforms once you sit down.
You guys missed a knob/lever (I get why Colton always gets fired). There is a lever with 3 other positions so that the chair can lean back.
I was expecting it to lean back, what a poor review...

I was planning on buying an Aeron chair after I tried the Steelcase Leap in a showroom and was severely underwhelmed. But surprisingly when I went to a showroom to try the Aeron and Embody chairs, I loved the Embody way more. Not only that, I found the Logitech version more comfortable than the regular Embody chair because of the added foam. I don't usually hop on trends like this, because if I'm being honest with myself I'm not much of a gamer, but I'm definitely getting the Logitech version. It actually goes with my setup since I have the MX Master 3 mouse and G915 wireless mechanical keyboard. I didn't plan it like this, but it's kind of satisfying having all my peripherals be Logitech, they just make the best stuff.
I've had the Steelcase Leap for about 1 year. I hate it. Thinking about upgrading to the Embody in the near future. The Leap is far too clumsy and rigid in the wrong places. Its a disgrace that I have to use a cheap seat cushion from Amazon on my Leap because the original cushion is so damn stiff that I start to hurt after about an hour of use.
I got this chair a month ago and it is awesome. You can sit for long hours and it does not hurt your back. This chair is worth every penny
no way that's a gaming chair, it's actually comfortable
It’s not a gaming chair. It’s literally just a Herman Miller Embody that Logitech slapped their logo and a few blue accents on. Everything else is the exact same.

Herman Miller and Logitech are both fantastic brands so it's great to see them team up. I have the Aeron chair at the moment and I love it, would like to try one of these out.
Bought an Embody before this chair came out, it's a fantastic chair and designed to last for decades. Very pleased with it.
I'm a little sad -- I have this chair and they missed like, the best part of the thing. the weird back is made that way so the whole back will twist with you , so even if you ARE sitting with shit posture, you still get supported. Seriously, sit in that chair and lean back and left or back and right. it's magic. edit: I have the regular embody, not the logitech version
fyi, there is no difference other than the blue color on the logi x embody compared to the embody
Ur good bud, there’s absolutely no dif between the models
Haha I figured as much (that there was no difference) but wanted to cover my bases
We’ve teamed up with Logitech G to make updates to the chair specifically for gamers. The seat has an additional layer of foam to better support your posture while you play, and we’ve developed new technology to keep you cool, too.
imtechguy so basically no difference. 😂 it’s like the smallest bit of trim level difference to a car. “Look, this one as a tiny spoiler and you can shift the gears!... but it’s still an automatic transmission”
Would really like to see a review with someone that has been asked to use this for work for 1-2 weeks.
I've used it for 11 years now. It's good. Has saved me a butt load of money and time buying cheaper chairs that wear out. Takes time to learn how to use it properly. Highly adjustable/reactive - you're suppose to adjust it to meet your moment to moment needs... it's less about 'set and forget' and more 'tweak to meet your current needs'. Having said that, I kinda wish it had a head rest... except, I used to - but then I learnt that the right back adjustment knob is actually... an upper back tilt/tension adjustment - you're supposed to turn it so that your head and eyes are level - your head is then carried by your upper spine very comfortably, even when you're leaning back as far as it goes. The right front knob is not a lumbar adjustment knob contrary to what Colton is saying - it's a back rest tension adjustment knob - you're supposed to calibrate it so that it holds your body weight - the consequence is once you calibrate it, you can hold a wide range of positions without playing with the tilt lock lever - you simply move forward or backward and it'll 'suspend' you in that position. That way, you get movement AND support in the back of the chair - which is the real standout feature on these high end ergonomic chairs.
I don’t have the embody but I have one of the other high end Herman Miller chair. It’s amazing.
@@Zaptruder You should post this in main comments. Great review.
And do not tell them anything about the chair.
Had mine for 2 months and sit in my chair for like 12 hours a day (outside of small breaks and meals) and it is fantastic.
I got to see and test out one of the first prototypes of this chair, they didn’t include the twist because they wanted to simplify the movement of the arms, this is also why they more forward as they move up.

@@nerdstrangler4804 I have a back injury from mountain bike racing from when I was a teenager so I'm fairly sensitive to bad posture.

@@Drewbakka I am currently sitting in an Aeron remastered. I notice zero difference in support over budget chairs.

I’m interested in ergonomics; that’s why I wanted to watch this video. Could you tell me how you get your arm rests so your elbows are at 90°, and yet you’re able to reach your keyboard?

That still looks like a good thing to me though , I mean it does look pretty good, maybe the carbon foam whatever does help, and I mean paying less for something good is also fine.
It's only cheaper because it's the most basic version of the chair. You can adjust it to make a normal embody the same price or more expensive.
With people buying racing car pc chairs, it was only a matter of time, getting chairs that do the job properly into the market. Slapping an existing name to it is a good way to do it. Im surprised it hadnt happened sooner.

It would be amazing to see high end ergonomic chair technology trickle down into budget chairs.
Budget chairs are budget because they cut corners in engineering and manufacturing to make them cheaply. If someone could manufacture a knockoff chair as good as a Herman Miller and do it at half the cost, they would be doing so and raking in tons of money.
The thing that sets Embody apart from others is that it’s just as comfortable after 10-14hr of work or gaming. You can also swap out the casters with theirs or a 3rd Party’s to bring that rolling up a level. 👍🏼
Once adjust properly the Herman Miller Embody may be the best chair you buy. The factory instructions will guide you to adjust the chair to your size.

@@USEC3 LOL. this is how you can spot the HMiller Simps. Nothing wrong with spending $1k-$2k on a chair, That is WORTH that much. My problem is that the chair is garbage. If you buy a $100 chair off Amazon, you're gonna get junk. Just because the same chair cost more doesn't make it not junk. It just means they have bigger margins. Before you reply about how great the chair is, answer me ONE question. Why for $1,500!!! they can't put a decent set of caster on the chair. I'm sorry, but this is like going to a Chinese place that overcooks their rice. If you can't even do THAT right how am I gonna trust you to do ANYTHING else right? I don't care how expensive the fancy Chinese restaurant is, I'm still gonna go get the good fluffy rice from the affordable hole in the wall place down the street. You can keep buying your over priced garbage and patting yourselves on the back and bragging about your brand name. Cause the jokes on you! lmao....
@@MontroseChloe @Cole Cousins I'm 99% sure you've never been within 30 feet of a Herman Miller chair in your life. Brands don't become popular by being bad. Your hypothetical Chinese place with the shitty rice would be out of business within 3 months.
He's also sitting in the chair the wrong way for gaming. He should be parallel with his arms to the table. Otherwise he's just hurting his arms and upper back during long sessions.
think hes so short that for his legs to be 90 degrees he had to reach up to that table
@@richmahogany1710 Keyboard trays are so useful, i don't know why people cover all of the table with their keyboards, and try to reach upwards.
Yea, his arms should be on the height of the arm rest. But maybe they just couldn't change the desk height that quickly. Let's hope he has good posture at home.
@@erdem-- I broke my tray in the old desk and started seeing the appeal of on desk large mousepad... Got a foot rest thing to address the posture thing because I'm short and already work sitting down all day.
this is where a standing desk is so useful because you can lower the height if your short so the arm rests fits and you have 90 degrees angle with your legs.
Oh, I should add that there is a lever on the other side of the chair from the knobs. Adjusting that controls whether you can lean back in the chair or not. It seems like it was set to the position that prevents you from leaning back, hence why Riley kept being pushed forward when he tried to lean back. Setting it to the maximum looks to let you lean back about 25-30 degrees. Not exactly a sleeping position but not bad for an ergonomic chair. Still, I can't see paying that much for any chair unless I hit the lottery jackpot.
Was about time a REALLY GREAT task chair company made gaming branded chairs. These are light-years ahead of every stupid racing chairs. I own a Mirra 1 and helped with my back pain and posture so much!
1:12 “It was step by step and I couldn’t even follow those steps.” My life in one sentence...
nothing can replace your grandma's sofa, its got everything. loose change, remotes and that sweet cookie crumbles that smell like your grandma always made. and you can sleep on it like a baby.
I have a Herman Miller Aeron chair. Bought it used, in like new condition, for $500 US. This review makes me happy. :)
Ever since I bought a used high end ergonomic chair like this, I have never felt the need to go to a chiropractor ever since, and I used to go all the time. The savings pays for the chair and more over time.
Not shown: Colton telling his Valorant teammates that they’ll be part of some great B-roll and them replying with “POGGERS”
LMAO
when he dropped his ghost for a kingdom clasic
"Ergonomical" Doesn't have a tall back, Colton is a small dude, remember that, I know I'm tall at 6'5" but legit, Colton at 5'6" has the backrest to his shoulder blades/neck, now imagine if you're even 5'10" that top of backrest will be half way into your shoulder blades AT MOST, They should've had Taran come and do a side-by-side, Tall and Short comparison, Colton knows chairs, Taran knows about Ergonomics.
this is important to me as well at 6'3" it's hard for us to find a chair that offers decent neck/head support.
Okay so that may look like an unintentional blunder but i encourage you to look up the book "The Measure of Man and Woman" by Henry Dreyfuss and asssociates. This is a continuously updated book which contains measurements of man and woman of all body types in order to design best for them. I can almost assure that it was used in the making of this chair. However, that means it was designed for a majority of 'average' sized humans. Certain heights and weights are just bound to require special design and a whole different product. The designers of this chair forsure took into account human ergonomics on this design, I have no doubts. Personally , i would prefer the herman miller Aeron.
The chair is designed for the 2nd to 98th percentile. So around 6'3 should be the tallest people it works well for. If you have a exceptionally tall (or exceptionally shoret) upper body, you need a different model. If you're more than 136kg, you need a different one as well.
I think you have overestimated the length of an inch and that you may have forgot each one of those inches is across the full body not just torso length which is on average 2/5 of your body. according to the website it works well up to 6ft 3 inches. This is demonstrated when the two other guys, who are taller, get into the chair and it still supports them.
Guessing you didn't watch the video. They had others come in
This is a very poor video - these chairs have highly specific functionality that require many settings to be changed - why not just take a look at the manual?
incompetence is kinda their "thing"
Because this is short circuit, where they give first impressions. Not an ltt video that goes into depth?
@@robby7997 hey a ltt person hii
And the keyboard warrior reveals itself.
@@_IHateHandles_ what?
I own a new Aeron and a Mirra 2 and my back is in less pain than ever. After 20 years of IT and gaming. Will try to get a hold of this one when its release in my region.
I would love to see Anthony's review of this chair
"So let's install Pop!_OS on this chair and see if it improves its ergonomics..."
RIP chair
*when a chair costs more than your entire setup*
Well... The Chair (a high quality ergonomic chair... Gaming is bullshit ) is made for you health what is ( by far ) more important then your setup... So... Yes... That's the way it should be ( if you are sitting there for hours a day )
@@Flatsteff You're overusing ellipsis.
@@Flatsteff I wholeheartedly disagree, would rather spend 1500$ on a setup than on a chair. I value my health less than my PC xD
Flatsteff If I spent $1500 on a chair I'd just be sitting at an empty desk.
@@andrejgrubor6182 Later in life, you might agree
Did the same upgrade from a NeedForSEAT chair too. Def an upgrade for me. Can work longer hours and not feel that back fatigue (even with those lumbar pillows N4S threw in). Worth an investment if you're in your chair for office work or gaming long sessions.
I have been looking at this chair for about a month now. Debating on getting it, might wait until the headrest comes out that's in development.
I just wanna know what was Logitech's contribution in this chair.
Marketing purposes lmao
The logo ;)
Blue
The logo and the price duh.
@@mattm7007 I don't think the price at all. It's actually the cheapest configuration you can get lol. Which is surprising tbh since they technically did add some stuff to it that the regular Embody doesn't have.
It bugs me that they aren’t pointing out that this chair has been around for years. It’s the gold standard for office chairs, but Herman Miller just had Logitech slap a big “G” on it to sell it to gamers. (Edit: Please do better LMG and actually give us *facts* about the products you’re showing us, not just talking-head, yOuTuBe rEaCtIoN style videos with surface level context on a product, arguably misinformation about said product if not misleading info, and click-baity titles and thumbnails.) Also, if you have the dough, go for it, if not, don’t worry about it. There are plenty of affordable ergonomic chairs on the market, they just aren’t marketed to gamers.
I am all for the big G branding baby
But the non Logitec one is not cheaper
Luis Enrique Ponce Martínez whats your point? It’s still lazy and cynical marketing to not change a long-standing office product and call it a “gaming chair” just because you slapped a “Logitech” on it.
FYI, this Embody is $100 cheaper and is literally the same Embody. Just with blue accents and a logitech logo. It's a good deal when talking about high-end HM chairs.
EVOLICIOUS that’s a nice consolation.
Honestly that Chair was made for one specific desk. The Envelop Desk actually slides down with the chair so you can almost work on your back. I have both and its such a game changer unless you like working upright.
The best part about these ergonomic chairs is that when you rock back in it, the seat part does rotate, it slides backwards while the back rest is the only part that rotates.
Colton is great on camera! More reviews from him plz. Also, I'm impressed that, according to the credits, he shot the whole thing even though he was in front of camera!
Really? Imo he's annoying af. There's not a single thing in this video that would indicate any professionalism. Heck he didn't even figure out functions of chair he tested...
His comparison was not really good. The idea that he keeps saying he didn't do any research into the instructions isn't great either
not a review, it's an unboxing don't forget
its more of an unboxing channel where they "discover" the products, not really reviews, I think Linus made that pretty clear; he wanted a channel more like unboxtherapy
The fact that this ISN'T a review channel is why I appreciate his frequent reminders that he didn't read the instructions. No "review" channel would be able to get away with that. That said, I would LOVE a proper review of this thing. Other comments are saying the only "collab" Logitech did was the branding, so I'll probably just look up a review of the original. Seems it's on sale right now!
Totally agree with the not a review comments, but he is the one that decided to compare it to other chairs. So it just was a bit flighty and without substance.
I remember watching this almost a year ago right before I actually got my Logitech embody and 1 year later I am still very much satisfied with mine.
Was it worth the money? I need it for work and gaming Like I’m in my office for 8 hours a day man and I have bad back pain already
@@MrJamieFRESH I mean its so expensive that I don't know if it's worth it but it is a great chair. I didn't have any back pain I needed solved I just bought it because all of my old gaming chairs would have something go wrong with after 1-2 years and the Embody still looks and feels like its brand new even after thousands of hours seated in it.
@@hahagager cheers man, I think it’s got to be worth it then I make my money in my office so I’ve got to be comfortable so I’m productive And if this means I can sit and focus for hours comfortably then to me it’s so worth the money! It’s an investment that’s going to last 12+ years That’s 36p a day which is £1.80 a working week! Not bad it’s just that initial up front cost I say £1200 because I can claim the vat back as it would be a business expense
I like it when you invite other people of your group to test out different products, allways fun :D
Logitech doesnt have to do anything with this chair, they have just put a logo on it
They put out the marketing to the gamer segment with their name. It was a win-win for both companies.
They added a few features to it
@@brandon_nope like Logitech logo? Is that a feature?
@@infernus6278 They added the cooling pads plus it's cheaper
@@brandon_nope cooling pads 😂 plus since when is the price feature
This is in no way an actual review, for those asking why they skipped instructions etc. This is more of a "first look," like "why is it $1500?"
That’s this channel in a nutshell
They were still *trying* to explain its functions to the audience while literally having no idea about how to use or even discovering half of them. Can you name anyone that wants to see why they would be paying $1500 for a feature-packed chair get explained only half the features, and really really badly? They spent a "short" 15 minutes mis-explaining a chair. Horrible.
Herman miller is the best I’ve been using their chairs forever now, 12 year warranty. Been using the Aeron chair as of late, by far my favorite chair but would love to try this one out
my parents gifted me a herman miller chair, I have never once felt uncomfortable on this thing even after my one multi day work session on my computer
The chairs are supposed to last a long time so it’s a big investment up front but lasts you a while
I mean, I'm on year 7 with a chair that's mesh with back support and adjustible arms...cost me $99 sooooooo.
@@grumpychocobo Lol how could you say that if you have no idea what actually constitutes good posture/good chair? Just cause u sat in it for 7 years doesnt mean your back isnt fucked
The warranty alone is 12 years. So you can try to imagine how long you can use them in reality. Nevertheless, most times these are business costs, not someone dipping into personal savings for a gaming chair. I have a herman Miller Sayl at home (cheapest one, those were too expensive) but I (in the old world as well) work from home with full days of office work and then adding gaming. So yeah. Bit of an investment. But sitting in it more then 8 hours a day with my last chair lasting me 13 years (a lower tier ergo chair)
Exactly
yeah, If I sold a chair that cost me $100 to make for $1500, I would slap a 12 year warranty on it as well. Doesn't mean it's not overpriced garbage. They can't even put decent caster wheels on it.
We have the Embody at work, they're amazing.
Where do you work that they give employee $1000 chairs!
@@herotalib9556 a certain company that’s named after a red head ornament.
You should try out the Steelcase Gesture chair. I got it a year ago, and it really changed how I sit in a chair. It's a bit expensive, but it looks good and it supports you well. And think about how many hours you sit in a chair
Good review. The only thing I don't see is an adjustable front end of the seat to assist blood flow to the legs. See Steelcase for an example.
Drinking game: take a shot every time he says "actually"
But em!
The chair is pre-assembled?! That's worth the $1500 alone. Putting together an ergonomic chair is a nightmare. And I like building things.
It's seriously the best office chair money can buy.
I got my ergonomic chair in 3 parts, the rolly thing on the bottom, the spring and then the whole upper part
Bought a second hand Aeron chair and it's easily the best chair i've owned, the prices might be high but they give very long warranties and the chairs are quite repairable overall so they're good investments.
I’ve had a Herman Miller Embody for about 2 years now. The chair is very good, but I absolutely feel that it’s not worth the hefty price tag (I still have buyer’s remorse after all this time). Just to save folks from overspending - I would highly recommend a lower end Herman Miller or a Steelcase chair for 50% the cost. The embody is generally uncomfortable by design (you must plant your feet squarely on the ground) and it very quickly develops rattles where the back connects to the seat. It’s a good chair, but it absolutely is not worth $1650 dollars.
Which steelcase do you recommend?
That actually costs more than my whole setup even with free shipping :D
Colton "Apparently you don't have to put this thing together, it all comes just in one piece" Linus uses it....Colton "Apparently you have to put this thing together, it all comes in pieces"
I wonder how Linus will manage to drop that chair 😝
Shipping is gonna be terrible for this. I'll need a delivery van and can't fit this in an Uber.
Btw I think da arm rest feature where it goes in is for controller players bc they have da hands closer together
Interesting review. Thanks!
Dude this chair cost more than my entire set up while I am sitting on this Vietnamese coffee shop's chair lol
Me: *TAKE MY MONEY* My Bank: You dont have the facilities for that big man
Insufficient funds, try again next year.
Yess! Finally we see the voice who shouts at Linus from the background! :P
I got an Ergochair2 recently and i feel it can do all the things this thing can, for like a 5th of the price.
