I wont buy those chairs. Those for dumbos. What i need though the handle you put your hands on longer. Because i use 36x24inch white alumnium board so i can move away from table with monitor so i am not close to monitor. I make letters big and keep away 3-4 feet from monitor. Too close to monitor hurt eyes. So basically they need to supply extra handle with longer flat bar to hole these.
So i can write anything on board to do take notes or just use it as keyboard and mouse holder (wireless) . Another thing i need is Side attachment with coffee or drink holder that you can pull out from underneath , Also food plate holder. As i eat as i am watching and once finished i want to put in in a tray underneath or some carry garbage bin that i can put it there.
So basically i need dinner table in a chair. What about music? May be subwoofer in the back.
I am a cat
Your nails are cute you should paint them!! Christmas colours!
The realness of this. In his home, no fancy background, lighting, occasional juicy soft b roll, and right to the point.
This is probably common knowledge in the office furniture sub-Reddit, but there is a pretty big aftermarket for refurbished Aeron chairs. I bought one for my wife and it seems like new but for only half the price. Also, if people didn't know, you might be able to get your health insurance to foot part of the bill for a chair
Moral of the story, buy a good chair
This is a quality review. I've sat in a lot of Miller chairs and they're Ok. They last about 3 years then start to squeak (I'm 183cm and 98Kg)
I've been looking at the Flexispot range so this vid helped.
Cheers
I’ve had mine for well over 20 years. Still a great chair.
I gave up on expensive chairs years ago. Now I sit on an old folding lawn chair with two memory foam pads I can move around and an infrared heating pad attached to the back. It's my only chair so I sit in it all the time when home.
How in the heck are you literally making content for things I seek that have nothing to do with cameras right when I need this type of review. Amazing!!
I actually really appreciate these videos! I will definitely look into upgrading mine once the YT checks start rolling in... Unfortunately I bought into the gamer chair hype years ago... making it work for now with cushions.
Nice to read an honest review....you could've went with the potential sponsorship but instead you were totally honest. Thank you!
Thanks for being there day after day. 🎉
I've had my HM for over 15 years of "heavy" use and when the hydraulics started to go and the skin started to look manky, they sent a guy to my house (it dit require an appointment with a nominal wait) and not only did they fix the hydraulics, but they reskinned it in the color of my choice and replaced the arm pads, giving me virtually a new chair.
Thanks for the info, how much did you pay for that?
The asking price at the time and it was worth every one of the many dollars.
Ah the nostalgia!
I'm using a saddle chair since last year. Best thing for your posture, and also the blood flow in your body.
Love the vocal fry ❤ that was sweet video thanks for the review
I received a Christmas present at work today. A gift card for a supermarket. And I think I should go buy a chair. Well, you put the video right on time as if you knew.
I have the Aeron size C at work that I've been using for the last 19 years and I love it! I went to buy one for home and the online supplier at the time only had a size B so I bought it, and hated it! If it's a C, it's for me!
You've helped me so i'll share with you my greatest discovery: Eames Lounge Chair (Chinese knockoff for $700). I recline 12 hours a day no problem. You're smart enough to figure out a way to get a flat aluminum surface for your mouse/kb and how to put the chair on a platform with wheels.
I had Aeron for couple of years. First 30min on it is always a "wow" but long term for me it was a huuuge pain cause of the padding you mentioned. After like 3-5h on it my legs were numb. No blood circulation. Just a horrible chair for me. Had it so long cause it was expensive. Now I bought a sh*t chair for 70 bucks and it's much more comfy.. Imagine that....
Although now when you mention about the size. I had size B and I'm 1.83m so maybe size C would be right for me...
I'd love to get one of those Aeron chairs. I have spine issues that make it hard to sit for long periods. But, the Aeron is not in my budge. So, I think my solution will be a standing desk instead. Thanks for the review! Have a great day!
I switched from an Aeron to Embody gaming. Ya, the size C is huge - glad to be out of it now. Then, got the Atlas headrest too for the Embody. It is very nice.
I watch your Vegetable Police channel and I know you have a camera related channel but didn't expect to see you when I was looking for reviews of desk chairs. :))
I have a playlist called the chair saga on VP lol ua-cam.com/video/jUkpwFjCxpY/v-deo.html
At 4:30 Ya those arm rests are a common problem. They should move sequencially with the backrest recliner. If they don't you end up with no arm rests. An avid "Gamer" at my workplace [IT-Dept] sold me one of his chairs [1300$ new] for 400 bucks when I saw the Mechanical synchronization of the arm rests and the 3 dimensional adjustments for it I new it was a serious chair. You probably wouldn't like the Posterpedic over stuffed seat , lumbar and head rest but I love it. The only con: Keeping myself from falling asleep in the damn thing. That chair is going to be the bane of my getting fired !! Full Gravity flat recline 🙂
The best set is a stand up desk with a chair that goes high. This gives you the benefits of standing or sitting. I lifted my desk using 8" bed risers for 11$. Then I bought an adjustable tall rising desk chair, standing here and there is great for the back, spine, gut health, etc.
very true
The Steelcase Leap V2 was the right one for me. You really get a lot out of these chairs. It seems stupid, but even though I got mine half off. If I had to pay full price for another one I would. These high end office chairs are worth it. As long as it's the one that can fit you. Or at least well enough that it doesn't cause any issues.
I agree, you can't beat a Leap, and I ordered a Neutral Posture custom chair with every feature. You can often get them from used office furniture vendors or on the "lists and places." Still looking for a better "skinny guy" chair though. Most chairs are designed for giants. ;)
I got a free Herman Miller Mirra 1 and I love it so much I sold my Razer Iskur. I most likely will buy a used Aeron Classic Size B next year. I am done with Gaming chairs.
I have to say I felt a little sick to my stomach spending (I forget exactly...) $1000-ish dollars for the Aeron, but in hindsight I'm glad I did. It has really helped my back problems and so far, I think five years in, it is proving to be very robust. I wouldn't be surprised if I get a another 10 years out of it, and I think you can even replace the mesh, which if you can do that, and it doesn't cost too much, I could see it lasting me the rest of my life. Plus it's the sort of thing, like other Herman miller furniture, that holds its value reasonably well if you ever decide to resell it. Btw, if any viewers are interest in one, I suggest going to find a place to sit in one, because they make a larger size, which I ended up getting.... comes up higher into the shoulder area
Just making non-stop best quality reviews. I dont even need a chair but here I am.
To preface this, I was sent the chair for free because the desk I bought which has anti collsion ended up not working and slightly breaking the arm rest on my chair. I thought the desk was broken, so I contacted support and they had me run some tests, as well as without hesitation offered to send me a free chair of my choosing lol, so I chose this one. Very responsive customer service for me.
This is just me but if I am seriously considering an office chair and spending $370 for this exact configuration, if I am sitting in it every day for hours on end and already spending that much, i'd much rather find a used herman miller or steelcase for $500 or less(Which is surprisingly very doable, tons of small startups going down and selling off their office stuff) than settle for saving a $140 considering how long you would be keeping either of these chairs, that extra $100 or $200, based on how the flexispot chair feels, the aeron's will last twice as long for only a little bit more. I'd say either get a lower tier model from flexispot if you really want to go with the brand, but save that extra bit of cash and spring for that aeron/steelcase, it will be worth it...
If you are a gamer and don't want constant highly pronounced lumber support hitting you in the back, or have a shorter spine(I do think this chair will be more comfortable to those who have longer spines), or just hate very pronounced lumber then you will hate this chair, DO NOT GET IT lol I wouldn't even "Try it to see if you will like it or get used to it" lool
The mesh is comfy and has some give (I am 5'9, 200lb). I will say I wish I was half an inch taller; my feet only just feel like they aren't planted fully. So, if you are looking for a shorter chair, I'd say go with something else or look at different casters. The foam seat option seems like it may be a tiny bit shorter.
After owning a secret lab titan and being just a wee bit too short for that, this is definitely way more comfortable besides the lumber! But quality wise this chair is ok. The actual seat itself feels solid, cheapish feeling plastics but super solid. Where it lacks in quality is adjustment sticks and how smooth the adjustments are to unlock/lock and move around. Secrect lab's sticks feel super solid, and its mechanisms just feels great to use, whereas the c7 just feels cheap. solid 6-7 out 10 depending on your lumbar preference and it's honestly got a lot of adjustment for the price..
can you remove the arms? For saxophone playing, I need a chair without the armrest.
I picked up the Herman Miller Gaming Embody about a month ago. Great chair for me so far, but it does not have a head rest standard and is crazy priced. Other than that, for me the pros outweigh the cons.
Does it do 4K 120?
I should look into a new chair, or at least wait and see if you mention how your new chair feels in a few weeks. I bought one of those Amazon 'Fallaparta' Deluxe ones, which has been increasingly behaving mysteriously- just waiting for the perfect moment to completely collapse one day the moment I sit on it.
what's with the hand signals?
I used an Aeron all throughout collage. 4 years sitting in that chair day and night to get my degree. the first thing to go are the arms. they give you a 10 YEAR warranty.... so, I rang them up and they sent me 2x brand new arms. I kept them in the packaging.... still abusing the original arms... after i graduated... i cleaned up the chair, attached the new arms and it looked God damn spanking new!! I sold it for the same price i originally bought it for. .... I had a free chair for 4 years! the best chair money can buy. and yes, it was a size B.
Oh no! He's doing furniture! Now we'll never find the perfect chair!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I thought about getting a Herman Miller embody but those aholes striked my channel for reviewing a knockoff so eff them. But I do need a new chair. My $150 staples mesh chair is having the arm rests look like someone has been gnawing on them.
I did get the flexispot desk and it's pretty nice
Great video I ordered the c7
The Aeron is expensive, but lasts a looong time.
Editing on Davinci for hours definitely requires a comfortable chair I’ve strained my neck more than once editing.
Looks like your old version Aeron doesn't have back support, on the remastered there's a better back support and an aftermarket headrest is available, also it will tilt back with less force, not at that level of seaside chair, but still good. Oh, also the part that pushes on the back of your legs (well, it shouldn't) is also rounded and comfier.
Monobloc master race ✊
Herman Miller Aerons are crushingly good if it fits. Crazy expensive though. Flexispot may be good this week but Herman Miller will still be good in 20 years. With Herman Miller you will be able to get parts for that chair till long after you have died of old age. .... When are you going to review the amazing (and expensive) new audio interface?
I outsmarted myself by getting a desk chair that is slightly uncomfortable. That way I never spend too long at the computer.
I loved your review. Can I buy your C7? lol
I gave it away.
@@cameraconspiracies That was very kind of you. Thanks again for this great video! I was about to buy a C7, but now I'm weighing other options.
I'd love to see you review the Hinomi H1 Pro!
We all know that the Aeron is the best except for it’s price😅
Can find them cheap used.
@@cameraconspiraciesthere’s hardly used one in Bangkok so me and my wife bought an Aeron and Embody. Expensive af but great chairs
lmao, this title alone is awesome! 🤣
Not sure about killer products, but I do like Game Changers, things that Punch Above Their Weight, are a Steal, or whatever’s Best (this year.)
The C7 has been fucking my back up because the lumbar is so low and doesn’t hit the right spot and the adjustment just goes lower not higher
didn't even know threre are sizes to chairs, guess mine is not expensive enough for that. okay now i see harman is almost $2000
Used Aerons are easyish to find in bigger cities for around $500.
I went to college with the son of a Herman Miller owner.
At the time he was in the closet but loved dudes and had all the Adderall in the world to share. 😂
He had like the top model chair from them and that thing was awesome.
Pretty sure there's a video of me (and him) getting "something" while sitting on that chair. 😂
Oh snap, Aeron get dome that sits in the chair and I ain't talking Kaseys flat earth dome ya dig
I love the bevco 1502/5 maple ply chair on rollers. Hand rests suck because you can't play guitar with them. Awful. My Bevco is about 80 years old. It's even older than me! If you need to rest your hands because you are so tired, place them in your lap. Are keyboards up next? Let's go cherry mechanical blue. I'm not happy until my neighbor bangs on the door because of how loud my keyboard is.
Mybe because the first one is older and you used it alot you need to use the new one and it will get soft.
The moral of the story is, when looking for a good fitting used chair......don't look outside the motor vehicle office, but rather down at the school for dental hygienists.
Imagine playing ergochar and not unlocking the humanscale freedom chair.
Have a HM, big difference between an HM and knock-offs.
I don’t know… Usually if it feels good it is not good! Darn comfortable chairs being …comfortable.😢
Come on Big Dawg who uses an office chair, I use the most comfortable chair in the world, I use a small recliner swivels 360 rocks back n fourth, and reclines back, and I use arm rest for the mouse, I never even touch my desk. It's so comfy I fall asleep in it. Lol..
is this good for you? i dont know. love that hahahaha
i'm willing to bet people in places where armchairs aren't the default way to work have much healthier spines. it's the chair that cripples you, man
Sitmatic posh executive.
i find my steelcase leap v2 significantly better than my herman miller classic. simply more comfortable in almost every aspect. have an embody on order to see if i prefer that, i think steelcase might be the best. if the embody fails, gesture it is.
I returned both the leap and gesture lol.

@@sauzeeee lol
To be Fair, you are comparing your "old pair of comfortable broken-in sneakers" to a brand new, still stiff, NOT broken in yet comfort.
duuuude this herman stuff costs 2500 wtf... i will go with an a7siii noobs
To me, as soon as the ergonomists get involved in the design it becomes unbearably uncomfortable.
Which one has the best IQ ?
When did this become chair conspirators😢
listen here, you. I want a best hybrid cameras for night photography/videography. yes, yes, yes. I know you do vlogging and its not your focus. but I need to hear your commentary on this subject. everyone shows me moody lofi music in the rain and cameras sent to them with gift bags. I want you running across a dang street at night showing me why I should get the fricken A7cii or some such. please sir. if not for me do it for the children left alone in this dark world with aps-c frames and virtually no life stabilization.
(p.s. while you figure out best sitting mechanics I'm alone in the dark much like those children so this is needed soon. like this year. ill give you the whole rest of this year for this video. that's very generous I think. also I am tired. it is currently night so instead of take pictures I will now sleep. because of my lack of capable night cameras of course.)
Chair Conspiracies???
Go pro footage …. 🤣
Make your Monkey Fitness and you dont need a Chair.
Chair Conspiracies? Bring your mom on again if you're out of ideas, eh!
This is what you decided to make for your 1000th video?
Yeah because it’s his channel? 🤷🏻
You're comparing a lower end budget chair to a high end premium chair. Hardly a fair comparison
Why in heaven's name do people send you stuff to review, just so you can say, 'nah'?
don't waste time analysing these, this stuff is way too person-based
