I have held a fond interest for computers and technology in general since using my first computer over 20 years ago. I play a variety of games and like to revisit old favorites as well.
@@rekcinol All good, if it doesn't bother you then no big deal. Hopefully, people who see your video don't think the creaking noises are on all Embody's as it's a great chair
Thanks for the video! This chair is on my short list, the noise being the main potential issue for me... Although recent reports seem to indicate HM may have improved things on that end?
I’ve had two of the Amazon Basics Brand for the last four years and they’ve held up great. I just went to get the link and it’s says they are no longer available. 🥲
I just purchased my Logitech Embody chair just a few days ago, and honestly had been him-hawing about whether or not I made a mistake. I have watched a lot of reviews from smaller, and shorter people complaining about the chair. You are the first review that I have found that won't feed me some marketing mumbo jumbo and shows an actual normal person using the chair. I am a bigger guy as well (I too enjoy pizza, tacos, etc.) and always seem to be that first filter when I would go buy a chair (supports 250+). Then that slims down your options. So, to see how the chair holds up over the years, I appreciate your review and feel comfortable now with my purchase. You just made a new subscriber out of me. Also, I too work and game from home, so to hear about feeling comfortable is key for me. Thank you again, great review.
Is it loud and distracting? If your on a Zoom call, does it get in the way? Hard to tell if it is a little background noise or not. If my chair made a lot of noise everytime I moved, I would think it would be distracting.
Very glad to see someone heavier giving their assessment. I'm the same weight, but a bit taller. I had an Aeon char for 20-years with no sign of wear on the seat or backrest, so I know they last.
looks really great, I'm currently thinking about buying this holder too. At the moment I still have Alienware AW34 the old 120hz version. And upgrade to the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM - 32 inch 4K UHD gaming monitor.Would use the asus as my main monitor and use the dell above it for browser youtube etc. But since the Asus is 16:9 32Zoll I don't know if the foot size will fit technically, by you it almost looked like it is already tight with the 2x 34 inch monis or do you still have a lot of space upwards with you? I would be happy to receive an answer.
You should have plenty of room. I’m currently using the LG UltraGear 45” OLED on the bottom and my older Alienware 34” on the top. Video here - ru-vid.com4ZDERtVo-a0?si=GoUetxa5KW1dpw4A

I'm having a hard time figuring out if they are a scam or not, their adress is in Texas but it's an apartment building and with hoe they have their site looks like a scam with 40 or 50% off everything. Can't find anyone even mentioning this company apparently 59k instagram followers but no comments on their stuff
Just got mine today, standard Herman Miller Embody the most basic version (non-gaming), full black - not a single sound from it The only thing I can hear is physical recline stopper and armrests when you pull them up/down, no other sounds of any kind It's insane
Oh my god.... The sound test makes me want to gag.... As appealing as this chair looks, Imma have to pass after that experience. Thank you because you just saved me the hassle of making a return. Now I'm off to check out the Haworth Fern and Steelcase Gesture
I just wanted to say thanks for your video reviews on this. Your reviews are the reason I decided to pull the trigger on the Embody Gaming Chair. I am 5'11" 230lbs and being a larger guy, I was really glad to have your view point from a larger frame. I have had it for 1 week so far and am very happy with it. Mine makes zero noise also, so maybe they did something about that. I would say the first day I wasn't sure, because of the lumbar section in the back, but on day 2 it was non existent. I think I have been sitting poorly in chairs before and that is what my back initially took issue with. The arms I like, but if they would make them a little more adjustable from a forward backward movement, it would be ideal. I tend to bump against them and them move out of their set position. And the proximity to my desk is not adjustable, so sometimes they are ok, and sometimes not. The arms are its only con that I really have. Otherwise, super happy with my investment.
@@rekcinol Now my problem is that my chair at my actual office sucks in comparison, lol. No way my company is going to fork out for me to have another Embody, lol.
First, great video, thank you. How is the seat cushion? Just wondering if there are seat cushion issues, like pressure points or being able to feel the material underneath the cushion itself? Seems like we take buying things for our health serious a little late in life, like your chair or your mattress, so I'm going to vent a little, sorry. I bought a Haworth Fern and it's good, better than my Office Master OM5, but both have seat cushion issues. The OM5 has a support bar that would dig into my thighs, and the Fern puts pressure on my actual butt. I have sciatica issues down to my toes, so pressure points are tough for me. The Fern is weird for size tho, it feels like it wasn't built for taller people with the narrow width of seat, but it has a tall backrest. The backrest is well above my shoulders, so the headrest hits the middle of my head. Both were great for the back btw, it was just the seat cushions that I couldn't deal with.
Thanks for providing the details and your experience with the Fern. We are definitely on the same page when it comes to chairs and mattresses. Both make such a huge impact on quality of life. With that said, the seat on this chair has no hard structural points. It’s a full mesh design so it’s the best chair regarding pressure points I’ve ever used. I wish I could take a picture and post it here. In my next review I’ll make sure to go into more detail on the construction of the seat. Trying one in person is obviously the best option if you can.
dude did you check if your ultra wides can do picture in picture or picture by picture you dont need two ultra wides allot of people dont know you can do that ? use two devices one monitor
So i love the setup what is the top screen is it a alienware? Just im making a quad monitor setup maybe but yeah with the magnus pro too😂😂 (maybe quad or one)
I deciding between blue and black, is there any difference? I overall want the blue but I noticed the wheels are different already on black. Is this an upgrade or just the same and colour is only thing that matters? If you could only have one, which one would you keep out of the 2 you have?
Does the cushioning stand the test of time? Also, in your sound test, it sounds really really loud. I figure that's because you had a microphone on the chair?
The cushioning has held up great and no issues so far. I had the mic about 2 foot away when I did the test. I moved around more than normal just to show what it can sound like. As I’ve lost weight I’ve noticed it isn’t as bad now.
Thank you for your review, really helped me. Also, congratulations on losing the weight. I'm surprised how your kids can be in their 20s though when you're barely out of your 20s yourself😀
@@rekcinol Looking forward to it, I will say though I don't think an Aeron would make this sound. I was 225 at blizzard when I had that chair and now I am 175 and no noises ever.
I used one as well at a previous job for 4 years and don’t remember any sounds issues like this either. Some of mentioned that maybe the newer versions are better due to fabric changes but I can’t confirm. I was close to 300 pounds when I made this video. I’m assuming that is the main culprit.
I bought my LE around the same time you got your first LE. I have been in love with my chair. I work from home full-time and I sit in it 12+ hours per day 7 days a week and I have never been uncomfortable at all. I did have to get my seat pan replaced because the gamery lines/indents flattened out so DWR replaced the seat pan for me. My chair doesn’t make sounds anymore after I go the chair back from DWR. I can’t remember if the sounds were still there before it was sent off to DWR but the chair is silent now for the most part. I love my chair and it’s the best chair I have ever had. I also have the gaming Sayl that my wife uses and it’s a great chair for her. Nice video!
