1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,140 you know what's better than one gaming chair two gaming chairs and I'm excited 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:11,280 today to finally be unboxing the Herman Miller Logitech Phantom gaming chair and 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:15,540 the reason I'm excited about it is because this is the first gaming chair 4 00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:21,180 from Herman Miller that is designed specifically for gamers which I'm kind 5 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:26,100 of a gamer myself so let's see how this goes let's start with the Box open here 6 00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:30,300 right from the top ready to play Just Three Steps stand between you and the 7 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:34,079 next level of ergonomics simply place the seat onto the base install the 8 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:38,100 headrest and then follow the QR code to adjust the chair to your exact 9 00:00:35,219 --> 00:00:42,600 specifications that is awesome so for 995 dollars I don't even have to really 10 00:00:40,739 --> 00:00:45,120 assemble the chair it's like pretty much ready to go out of the box which is 11 00:00:43,860 --> 00:00:51,059 really cool do I even need this beautiful Jerry rig everything knife from lttstore.com I don't know do I even 12 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,460 need to do this video I don't know but we're gonna find out yo that is such a 13 00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:00,780 spoiler yeah yo even just moving that it Glides that 14 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,739 felt so good and I was just moving the base of the the base of this chair I 15 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:08,640 like the amount of recyclable cardboard that they're using one of the cool 16 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,280 things about this chair is that on all their Market materials they're saying 17 00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:15,780 that this chair is not designed to be replaced I think they said about 90 of 18 00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:19,020 the chair can be recycled at its end of life and Herman Miller chairs at least 19 00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:23,580 this one in particular comes with a 12 year warranty which is really cool 20 00:01:20,759 --> 00:01:25,920 Phantom gaming chair okay it's a picture of the chair I think that's what it's 21 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:31,439 supposed to look like when I'm done building it anything else in this box nothing 22 00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:37,020 yeah that didn't do anything 23 00:01:33,479 --> 00:01:38,340 okay and now we basically got the rest 24 00:01:37,020 --> 00:01:41,640 of the chair this can be really difficult make sure 25 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,880 to follow closely follow closely everyone 26 00:01:46,380 --> 00:01:50,060 wow that's really difficult 27 00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:55,820 I think that's how it's supposed to be 28 00:01:55,979 --> 00:02:01,740 well let me actually look at the instructions so we assembled the chair 29 00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:05,159 under the base correctly insert the headrest into the chair back slot I 30 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,220 think I just need to push there's a little plastic clip here and I'm kind of 31 00:02:07,140 --> 00:02:17,300 wondering if this is supposed to be here or not 32 00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:17,300 my gosh okay oh holy crap 33 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:23,099 I just didn't know how much force to apply putting that down okay we're good 34 00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:26,940 and then step four of the installation instructions is to just sit on it and 35 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,780 that's how you complete the uh the assembly 36 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,080 bum drop on it make sure the base is really in there and that's it 37 00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:38,160 if I knew how to install the headrest that probably would have took less than 60 seconds to actually install which is 38 00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:44,599 really good now we're gonna do the other one should we speed run it I could do it 39 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,599 two one go 40 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:54,420 oh no another thing I have to open with my knife 41 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,800 this is honestly gonna take the longest I hope you're actually timing me 42 00:02:58,140 --> 00:03:03,500 what this is fantastic 43 00:03:03,959 --> 00:03:10,080 he's very nice A little bit of contrast 44 00:03:08,220 --> 00:03:15,720 this chair comes in three colorways comes in Black obsidian uh dang it I 45 00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:19,860 forgot what the other ones are called what no it's not 46 00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:22,280 uh comes in a black black and red and a black and white 47 00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:34,319 how long did that take that was like 60 seconds right I think I like the 48 00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:38,700 contrast of the white colorway so we're gonna go with that for our initial kind 49 00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:41,340 of design Impressions here you'll notice by looking at the chair it's leaning a 50 00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:46,019 little bit forward and that's because it's got an active forward lean and 51 00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:48,599 Alignment to get you to naturally sit up straight and sit a little bit more 52 00:03:47,340 --> 00:03:53,280 forward which is supposed to be better for your back I like the just chill 53 00:03:51,540 --> 00:03:57,540 nature of it I already talked a bit about how 54 00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:01,920 smooth it seems to Glide which is great the Phantom features a glass filled 55 00:03:59,580 --> 00:04:05,819 nylon Basin frame Alex just walked by Alex what's so cool about glass filled 56 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:11,099 nylon I don't really know I just know that high-end tools use it 57 00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:13,319 that's enough for me I think it helps 58 00:04:11,099 --> 00:04:18,000 oh okay that's sick so the other thing is that it has recycled polyester fabric 59 00:04:16,260 --> 00:04:22,620 this is interesting when I first touched the armrest I thought they were like a 60 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:26,040 hard ABS plastic but they're like a foam 61 00:04:22,620 --> 00:04:29,220 it's a polyurethane skin foam and it 62 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,180 actually is like hard and soft at the 63 00:04:29,220 --> 00:04:35,900 same time it's a little tough to describe but it's cool what are these 64 00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:39,060 names dude skin foam 65 00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:41,220 you notice on the rear i o of this chair 66 00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:43,740 you've got a adjustable headrest which kind of went through before I was having 67 00:04:42,419 --> 00:04:48,840 issues installing it but now that it's in it's good it has just the right amount 68 00:04:47,460 --> 00:04:52,380 of give when you're adjusting it it's also got thoracic support pads as well 69 00:04:50,820 --> 00:04:56,460 as this kind of spinal support system here and at long last I'm going to sit 70 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,460 on this chair I would love to tell you how I'm feeling 71 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:03,960 right now right after a word from our sponsor

honesty I've never been so comfortable reading sponsor read 80 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:46,199 before this chair is comfortable this lttstore.com polar fleece is comfortable 81 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,940 I'm just comfortable I'm just relaxed I 82 00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:52,259 don't even know what else to say let me actually sit up straight try adjusting 83 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,979 the armrests they kind of just go there's no buttons 84 00:05:54,120 --> 00:06:00,479 or anything that you press oh yeah there are sorry that's a lie so I can go up 85 00:05:58,380 --> 00:06:05,280 and down I can go forward and backward very easily I don't think you can go 4D 86 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:10,100 I don't think you can turn them unless I'm wrong I don't think these turn left 87 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:15,479 to right oh they go like that though 88 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:18,000 hey back is supported let me play with 89 00:06:15,479 --> 00:06:21,840 some of the dials here I think this just adjusts tension for the spinal support 90 00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:26,220 system I felt it moving for a little bit before then I heard a horrifying noise 91 00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:29,580 now I'm wondering if I broke it Belle can you slide me the other chair 92 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,900 okay it's good all right I was freaking out for nothing so the 93 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:38,639 amount of movement that the lumbar sport system does is just as simple as 94 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,979 I do like that you can adjust it on either side I'm glad that they have 95 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,479 these so if you're left-handed or right-handed you can easily change it it's just not complicated which is 96 00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:49,380 really nice on your right side you'll find the tension adjustment so it goes 97 00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:52,740 from one to six adjusting the tension for the recline and then on the left 98 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:57,419 side here we'll find the Tilt limiter so six means this is as far back as I can 99 00:06:55,139 --> 00:07:01,020 go and if I turn it down to one I'm assuming I can't go back 100 00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:04,199 at all which is correct a few more things it's got the seat depth 101 00:07:02,819 --> 00:07:07,979 adjustment which is on the right side here as part of the actual seat I can't 102 00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:11,720 seem to get it to work I don't know if I'm just like doing it wrong 103 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:15,860 I don't know hold on let me try to go back here 104 00:07:16,259 --> 00:07:22,699 we're trying to figure this out folks bear with us technical difficulty 105 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:32,940 I don't know man I don't know dude in theory it's forward okay we got it it 106 00:07:31,020 --> 00:07:37,319 turns out both of our chairs were already fully extended so this is the 107 00:07:35,220 --> 00:07:42,180 chair in its back form again remember what I said this whole chair is designed 108 00:07:39,539 --> 00:07:48,180 to have you sitting upright and forward for long gaming sessions okay so now 109 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,099 I'll actually adjust it and move forward 110 00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:54,240 there we go that's how that's supposed to work and then the last thing that we 111 00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:57,000 need to find is the seat height adjustment this is it in its lowest 112 00:07:56,039 --> 00:08:01,680 state this is it in its highest state and I'm 113 00:07:59,699 --> 00:08:06,720 short so we're going back down at this point in the video you might be wondering how much does this thing cost 114 00:08:04,020 --> 00:08:10,740 well let me tell you it costs 995 dollars U.S which is a lot of money for 115 00:08:09,180 --> 00:08:14,580 a chair don't get me wrong but it's actually less than the Herman Miller 116 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,039 embody and honestly chairs in my experience are one of those things that 117 00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:21,599 you kind of get what you pay for I have an Amazon Basics Ergo chair at home that 118 00:08:19,379 --> 00:08:24,900 I paid 150 Canadian for and it is completely trashed I've had it for a 119 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:29,340 year I need to get another one my experience with Herman Miller chairs at work though have been that they last we 120 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,640 have Herman Miller chairs to hear that we've had for years and I would hope 121 00:08:31,259 --> 00:08:36,060 that this chair could also stand the test of time as well the Herman Miller 122 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:40,380 embody gaming chair that I'm sitting in right now retails for 17.95 USD you can 123 00:08:38,940 --> 00:08:45,779 sometimes get it on sale it's on sale right now the Phantom is only 995 USD 124 00:08:43,560 --> 00:08:49,380 and honestly for the cost savings I would go with this this you're going to 125 00:08:47,459 --> 00:08:54,120 get more customization it looks more badass but this just seems 126 00:08:51,540 --> 00:08:57,600 straightforward minimalist I just like it more lastly let's get gaming and 127 00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:01,740 let's get some other people to game too when I game I have a tendency to lean 128 00:09:00,060 --> 00:09:05,880 back and this chair is not allowing me to do so and I don't say that in a 129 00:09:03,060 --> 00:09:09,899 negative way I mean I just feel actually supported and the fact that I can set 130 00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:14,640 the lean tension and the lean limit 131 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,040 s i can get to the right amount of comfy you know let's get some other people 132 00:09:15,959 --> 00:09:20,820 Jeff do you game Jeff what chair do you use 133 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:25,800 at home I use the Razer isker that you did a first look on like two years ago 134 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,100 do you like it I enjoy it the lumbar support's kind of cool I get kind of 135 00:09:27,540 --> 00:09:33,779 sweaty because like the leather stuff yeah this looks kind of good take this for a 136 00:09:32,339 --> 00:09:39,000 test drive my front my butt feels supported oh playing games 137 00:09:36,420 --> 00:09:43,800 my arms feel you know at the right level I think my feet are on the ground would 138 00:09:41,220 --> 00:09:48,120 you pay 995 US dollars for it though honestly yes for a Herman Miller that's 139 00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:52,019 pretty good I hear that their warranty is really really good so I'm sure this 140 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:55,980 will last me a lifetime of Gaming wow maybe didn't even pay the guy didn't 141 00:09:53,820 --> 00:10:00,720 even pay the guy all right next up let's go we've got the biggest gamer in the 142 00:09:59,220 --> 00:10:07,440 house I don't know about that I don't know no I just uh

what as much as they're a big competitor to 149 00:10:24,779 --> 00:10:30,720 Herman Miller it's uh it's not the same one thing I will say is around the 150 00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:34,680 office we do

00:10:51,779 --> 00:10:57,839 I don't know it's good seems comfortable sitting down for a little while and I'm 157 00:10:55,740 --> 00:11:02,880 not uncomfortable so yeah beautiful all right next up

before Linus yeah okay so that one 169 00:11:47,940 --> 00:11:53,760 is almost double the price this is 995 170 00:11:51,180 --> 00:11:59,220 that's 17.95 I don't think I would have ever thought that
