i don't really know how to start this video because i'm actually like super excited for this thing this is the
logitech g herman miller embody gaming
chair this thing is like 1500 us dollars and
today we're gonna unbox it and take a look at this freaking thing so the first
thing that we're about to see is apparently
you don't have to put this thing together it all comes just in one piece and it's ready to go so
let us open
and see how this goes watch it just be like broken and in
pieces broken and in pieces oof
all right mere seconds stand between you and
science-backed ergonomics no assembly required just sit down and enjoy
exceptional comfort for as long as you want to game lift this up
okay
come on box i'm actually really confused here yeah
hold on lift this up oh my god i'm so dumb
i didn't read the instructions apologies it's really it is step by step and i
couldn't even follow those steps all right what do we got here
it doesn't tell me what to do from this point on so i'm just we're going for it
oh it just rolls out
yo what isn't here is this a joke
it's just an empty box just for padding obviously
man whoa
okay i'm not gonna lie this looks a lot
different than i thought it would just based on like the images and pictures i found on their website so right now at
home i am using an old need for seat chair
that we used to have here at the office that i bought secondhand from Linus
because it kind of doesn't work for like 30 bucks i've been using that for
probably about four years and then the other chair that i've been using is actually the cougar gaming sofa which i
did a video on ShortCircuit which you can check out here or here i always
forget which way the link is yeah so this is probably going to be an upgrade
we'll find out the need for seat chair that i have
the ARM rests don't go up the casters
are uneven i could probably fix that but when i move my whole everything kind
of just goes tilted a little bit it rattles that's sometimes fun yeah so you
could say i'm pretty much a chair expert so going back to what i was talking
about before what's really cool about this chair is that herman miller and
logitech teamed up to create it right so it's supposed to be the kind of ultimate
gaming chair combining you know logitech's experience in gaming
accessories and herman miller's experience in ergonomics and chairs and
all the other stuff that they do so the thing i'm looking forward to trying out
the most is the back fit and posture fit
technology which is all of this stuff on the back which is designed to
fit to the way that you sit in your spine by adjusting this knob so
apparently you sit in it turn it clockwise and then
it'll actually kind of adhere to you in a sense providing you
what i assume will be fantastic support but there's only one way to find out and
that's by sitting in it so we're gonna sit in it
and it's going to be sick i hope or it's going to be a waste of
1500 bucks but find out right after we
talk about today's sponsor binchero
vincero creates stylish watches that are elegant and built to last all of their
watches are designed in-house and are created with ethically sourced materials
they provide free shipping 30-day returns and a two-year guarantee so if
you want to learn more about ventro you can head to the link in the video description and if you make a purchase
you'll save up to 30 percent off your order
it's good stuff
oh that's nice that's nice horizontal movement
feeling good time for a caster test
very smooth i'm glad i almost went right back in the box here i'm 160 pounds i'm five foot
six in terms of width i've got a fair amount of room here we've of course got
adjustable armrests actually what's really cool about these
is that they're curved so when you raise them up they're actually raising in towards you a bit these have a little
bit of give when you really shake them but oh my god can you untwist them
shut up shut up can you twist these
no way there's no way fifteen hundred dollars don't you dare don't you dare
stop stop that where's the fifteen hundred dollars i'm
just kidding the biggest thing with this chair like i said is the back support so
right now i definitely feel it down here like my back is supported now let's try
the posture fit tech so clockwise that is this way
so funny i don't know what i'm expecting but i'm expecting something
the only problem with this is i don't know if it's just my posture in general or how short i am but i'm actually
leaning a bit to turn this knob and i think that's kind of screwing with the
way it's adjusting and i've now turned it all the way it will not turn any
further sure john will adjust it for me thanks jono
appreciate it okay yeah yeah so it it it's it's
pushing in when you're going clockwise obviously going counterclockwise is pushing out so
actually i would have it all the way essentially i i feel support so the the
problem i always run into is when i actually have back support sometimes it
almost feels uncomfortable just because i'm not used to it probably because i've
been using such terrible chairs to game in for the last seven years but i
definitely feel supported with this is it worth 1500 bucks i mean you're gonna
have to come back after like a 10 hour game sesh i guess i don't know another
thing that's really good for ergonomics is having your knees in kind of a 90
degree angle so what's really cool about this chair is that you can actually
extend this based on how tall you are how long your
legs are and you can actually retract it too
literally just by pulling it so that's actually kind of neat so while looking
for a way to adjust the height of the chair i actually just figured out that there's actually two knobs to control
the back fit and posture fit tech so this back one you can actually see it
moving and this one i can also feel just like the other one when i turn it
counterclockwise i can actually go into kind of a more laid back position
something that i'd probably use for like watching movies or kind of just hanging
out and then if i'm gaming for a long period of time i can go clockwise cinch
it up with my back along with the other knob and you're kind of all set right so
this is for your upper back this is obviously for your lower back ah
i figured it out so the thing that you turn for the back fit technology this
little blue thing you just you just pull you just pull it up
beauty okay how how high does this thing go that's it that's how high you go how
low do you go
uh i'm pretty short so i'm gonna go
to as low as it can go
and i'm actually going to keep that in beauty so
oh just figured out the armrest too guys
i didn't read the instructions i don't know if you can tell so
armrests this is great for gamer rage
you get mad you just lose you you just lose your scrim you're just
stupid and then i'm ready for the game again so just to
get kind of a comparison we've actually got a like hundred dollar vertigear
chair that i'm going to try sitting in and just kind of try to evaluate some of
the differences so one thing i'll say is that this thing is
very supportive like i feel supported on all parts of my body essentially um the
only thing i'm not really a fan of right now is the armrest i don't know i actually like the being
able to swivel the armrest being able to hit these when you're really mad though
somehow that's satisfying so i'm gonna try this thing out
it's bad it's not good okay nothing i don't feel anything to this chair give
me that chair now for another comparison we've actually got an ergo chair which is
probably a more closer comparison for sure goodbye gaming chair
hello back support
i thought it was gonna fall yeah i don't know uh definitely feels better
on the back there's not as much support because there's way more give right like this i
mean is easy if i'm really jittery all day and i want to move a lot like i
don't know
i know just having the option to slide your armrest forward and backwards kind
of nice but i definitely don't feel nearly as much support on this chair as
i do on the hermann miller logitech g and body chair but it's a gaming chair
let's figure out how i game in it okay let's test out some games
while we're queuing up for this game though it'd be really cool if these
chairs could have support for lttstore.com you know just
just a little right there bam stay hydrated all day
long oh i got a match usually i play sage but enough people
have told me that i suck with sage that i just don't play sage anymore hi
everyone gold cat fun
twitch.tv Linus tech hey
what do you guys think of the herman miller
logitech g gaming chair
do that at the end of the game people are like genuinely concerned no way
you're not Linus so i'll say already that
what's really cool about this chair too is just it's got a lot smaller of a form
factor so being able to get the back support and everything else and having
the chair being so small helps for smaller desks this desk is quite a bit
bigger than what i have at home but it's just nice to be able to actually get you
and get the arms under the desk you know i've got room i'm supported my
back's up right i'm ready to game here i don't know how i'm gonna do on game
performance but that's okay that's not the cherry's fault if i suck at valerian
okay posture feels good like that's the you
know i mean that's one of the reasons why they made this chair and that is the biggest thing that i'm noticing between
this and everything else is that like my posture is remaining good i find after
like even five minutes of gaming at home i'll just be like
and it comes down to the material too like this material is definitely a little bit more i don't know supportive
it's not like that like polyurethane leather so i'm not just like sliding all
over the place so another cool thing about this chair is that it's got copper
infused foam on the seat which is meant to keep you cool so i'm wearing pants
right now but um it's just another thing to look out for you know
it's pretty cushy but not too cushy and not too hard i'm digging it also i died
shoot but no it just feels like i can actually
like lean back and it doesn't feel like it just gives away
bam that back support oh yeah like i like aggressive lumbar so like this
feels like my lower back because it usually gets sore because i'm a big
heavier you just feel it like i just want to like sit down and sleep
sleep in that right give it a try riley get in here this is the herman miller
one this is the hermann miller logitech g embody gaming chair
men to embody you into the chair embody the spirit of the gamer yes are you a
gamer riley
it's happening do you like it do you feel supported um
emotionally i mean maybe emotionally as well i don't know i feel like it's
pushing me forward like i just want to lean back and it keeps it keeps
i think that's the point it's like it's like pushing it's like
it's like oh i'm just relaxing
what's these hooks for the hooks so you can actually pull the seat out
bam how's that feel that was scary yeah
you can actually pull him back too uh you kind of have to raise like get
pressure off of it and then you can yeah there you go you got it that's so weird
but also really cool um so one thing i want to ask you uh the armrest how do
you feel about the armrest trying to adjust them
whoa does that feel good what what yeah what
how do you feel about that what the heck that feature
maybe if someone had like really
like tiny arms you're talking about me what
do you have no i don't have it like that should Linus have this chair like an
evil overlord should line us up yeah mean it's uh how expensive is it
it's uh 1495 us dollars but it's free shipping
12 year warranty i believe 12 year warranty you know the coolest thing i
thought about uh that i thought about this chair Colton
is what's going on here the back thing this looks like a this looks like some kind
of weird cyborg spine yeah it's gonna meld to your spine does
it yeah so sit back so you've got a knob you've got two knobs actually on your
right hand turn them clockwise
so that one's for your upper back the other one's for your lower back do you feel it doing anything oh interesting
yeah so this is their bar support exactly so this is their posture fit and
back fit technology
you know i'm not gonna lie i expected a little more elegant solution for this
from herman miller for that price i mean this thing's so
cool it's like it looks like you're literally just extending the actual seat
yep but these down what if i want to adjust things i'm like
yeah having to contort your body to be able to do it that's kind of annoying so actually i didn't know if tall people
would have the same problem but if i'm a rich man yep i expect to have like an
electronic i thought you're gonna say you'd expect to have somebody to help do that for you
yeah sir
so i've got nicole she's one of our new editors uh she sits to edit so i figure
she should be a good candidate for this so come try out this chair let us know your thoughts oh
this is nice is your back feel supported oh yeah way more supported than like
than usually because usually it's like i'd have to adjust it and everything to
make it feel semi-decent but this is like
so your feet aren't fully on the ground i think using that blue knob you can push
that down and that should lower you a little bit maybe i think there you go
yeah yeah yeah okay and then the other thing that you can do so the handles
right in front of you you can actually pull those forward or back
so i would sorry these you can actually pull them back and it'll actually move
the end of the chair in or out you might have to lift up your legs a little bit
oh i see there we go interesting so now it's like yep it's a
little bit shorter so the idea is that you can get your legs like 90 degrees
bam you can sit
review would you pay 1495 us dollars for it
maybe not you get free shipping
all right that's fine now it's time for the outro
just kidding yeah what a roller coaster ride i mean
this thing's pretty sick i'm excited to see what is to come like if this is kind
of their first collab i'm excited to see what herman miller logitech other
companies kind of do in the future like i said before melding gaming and ergo
chairs is sick so thank you very much for
watching guys make sure to like get subscribed let us know if you want to
see more chair content on ShortCircuit you know i i like doing these they're a
lot of fun and we'll see on the next one
goodbye
