The quality of your content. I said it before, I'll say it again: Incredible, Sir.
I think I realised that I'm finally an adult watching and enjoying every seconds of a 36 minutes review about ergonomic chairs. Or are we just weirdos?
Anyway, super happy that CZcams's algorithm made me find your channel few months ago. Keep going!
I spell my honestly with an a-h-n. I think we're both pretty weird.
This review pretty much covered all the things I've noticed about my Mavix re: build quality. The wheel locks are almost cartoonishly strong, headrest being in an odd position for shorter people, and the arm wobbles suck. For the price point, I'm glad I opted for the M7 over the M9. The customer service is quite good, though, and I was able to get a shorter stem when I ordered the chair. Love the footrest, too
That's good to hear! I'm glad customer service helped you out. It's hard for me to rate that because I'm reviewing their chair, so can't tell if that's how they usually are!
Had an M9, returned it. Chair build/quality of materials is not worth $1000. The back and armrests were super wobbly even after tightening the screws countless times. The memory foam felt like it bottomed out. However, customer service was excellent and they waived the return fee. Went to DWR and tested an Embody and Aeron. Ordered the Aeron same day. The difference in quality is crazy, and I also believe any chair at that $1000 price point should come preassembled.
what is DWR?
design within reach, it's a herman miller retailer@@damaylaphoenix1155
Could you do a review on some Steelcase chairs? I've heard they're one of herman miller's biggest competitors and I'd love to hear your opinion on them
I can't believe how your videos have such a high production value and information value. Keep up the amazing content, it is truly stunning what you can create.
Those are some super kind words. Thank you so much!!!
Very good video, informational, well edited.
Thank you for the kind words!!!
Been watching your reviews to find the right chair for me. Went with the M9 before seeing this and I gotta agree, the chair just feels cheap for it being $1000. It was delivered unsealed, with a few holes in the box, looked like it had been tossed around a bunch. Definitely not the best first impression. Had it for a few weeks now, and I just don't feel like it will last more than a couple years. Originally I saw 12 year warranty and thought oh wow, thats amazing! But then I saw another video showing all of the small print, and it doesnt cover a whole lot, and you have to pay for shipping after 1 or 2 years I believe. I'll be returning the chair and probably going with a herman miller. Sorry for the essay, love your channel and reviews!
Thanks for the kind words!! If you go with HM and you go through the site, please use my affiliate link if you feel so inclined. Otherwise, no worries!
You seriously deserve way more subs! Epic reviews, Epic channel and super chill. Ergonomic chairs brought me here but I love that you do tech too! I really hope you continue to get noticed and keep up the stunning videos!
Thanks!!! This seriously means so much haha. Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!!!
wouldn't flipping the foam footrest on the curved edge be a similar effect to the footrest?
Itd probably slide around a lot on hard floor
The reason the X-Chair and Mavix chair are so similar is because itâs the same company, just a separate gaming branch
Ah I had no idea!
I legit watch all of your videos idk why but such amazing high quality videos and so informative i sometime work on my other computer and just listen to your infos and reviews, HANDS DOWN you are maybe the top reviewer for office/gaming related stuff. WE NEED TO SPREAD YOUR CHANNEL please make discord for your community :D so we can suggest ideas through there it's better.
Thank you! I am kind of a dinosaur when it comes to Discord, but is on my TDL for sure. Any resources where I can learn a bit more on how to set it up? If you know of anything, please email it to me at ahntouragemedia@gmail.com
@@Ahnestly sent you an email about the pricks of having discord community and i am willing to help start it and i am sure some of your fans will volunteer to set it up too :D !
Ik this is a year old now , but bro you did the most detailed review I've seen. Probs
Thank you so much for this great detailed review. I am not a gamer, but I gave a quick thought about getting one for the comfort aspect. You have given me my answer. If I am going to put out that kind of money, show me a Miller.
Thanks again.
I'm 6'1 tall and weigh 230 pounds and am looking for a decent chair that is both able to let me work/game comfortably while also allowing me to lean back far. I'm currently thinking of buying an M7, Secretlab Titan or something like a Eurotech Ergohuman. Money isn't really an issue.
I've tried the Titan, and it feels decent, but the seat and back are a bit hard for me. I don't care about built quality, as long as the chair functions correctly, and this chair does look pretty decent.
Hey! Recommend you not go with the M7. Since the Titan evo 2022 is too stiff, if money is no issue, I would highly recommend the Herman Miller Embody (headrest slated for end of this year) or the Steelcase Gesture w/headrest! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links! Both these chairs have excellent return policies and for the Steelcase Gesture, I have a coupon code for 10% off that expires tomorrow. Link and code for it are in this video - czcams.com/video/rrhbt6Ps0Bo/video.html
@@Ahnestly Thanks for the answer! I have tried the embody and it just doesn't recline far enough for me, I just end up slouching. Does the gesture recline further? This was the main reason I thought of gaming chairs first.
That makes sense. The gesture has the least amount of tilt! Sigh, I wish there were more options out thereâŠthe m7 is just overpriced for what it is, but it does lean back fairly far and can lock that way. Just made of cheap materialsâŠ.
@@Ahnestly Material quality isnât really a major concern for me if I can get rid of my constant slouching. I'm more concerned about whether or not it's comfortable. I know in your Haworth Fern review, your friend Yong said it gave him lower back pain.
It sits like a more normal office chair. Back pain comes depending on the lumbar support you need. The Mavix flexes, but he wants something more fixed! If you decide to pick up, please consider using my links. Helps the channel a lot!
X-Chairâs parent company owns Mavix. Thatâs why they look so similar.
Love your channel bro thanks for the review. Have you ever looked into the Haworth fern? It doesnât have many reviews but the ones it does have are usually pretty positive
I have a refurbished 1st-gen Aeron but I'm a bit disappointed some times, the size B is a little too small for me at 5'10, the frame of the seat is pretty rough on my butt and my hips. I'm interested in the Mavix chairs for the wider seat, I was interested in the M7--but now you got me looking at the Neue!
Hey mark! I would recommend not going for the Neue! I think itâs a downgrade from the aeron! The M7 could be up your alley if youâre looking for a wider and more traditional cushion seat with no hard areas! Please consider using my link if you decide to pick up!! Thank you!
@@Ahnestly Thanks man, good to know! Yeah I still love the Aeron, just kind of kicking myself for not going for the size C! I've had my eyes on Mavix for a minute and your reviews are great and in-depth, thanks!
Awesome review! May i know where do you bought the light tube on the backdrop?
M7 versus the Neue. Which do you prefer?
Ugh I hate mavix as a brand. Theyâre super shady and stole money from me. As a chair though, the m7 is better for taller folks, the neue better for 5â11 and below. You can get much better chairs than the M7 for the price though - watch my which chair should you buy video!
@@Ahnestly Thanks for the feedback!
@@Ahnestly I've watched a lot of your videos and am still debating on which chair to get. Brand and policies aside, is there anything out there for someone 6'2.5" that has the adjustability AND a headrest that can beat the M7? Headrest is a must. I am basically down to the M7 or Steelcase Series 2, but worry the Series 2 isn't going to be tall enough in the backrest. $700 is about my max or my wife will divorce me. Lol.
X-chair is the parent company to mavix. I am pretty certain that the chairs are identical. I tried one in store, and it seemed too small to me, hitting beneath my shoulder blades at only 6'2".
I had the opportunity to try both the x-chair and another office chair by lifeform, and the lifeform made the x-chair seem like it was just there to look bad by comparison. Lifeform also has their own gaming brand, lfgaming, that I went with instead. You should check them out.
Interesting. My 6'1 friend said he didn't mind so much but definitely felt it on the aerons!
@@Ahnestly I also have a really long torso. With only a 30" inseam, my legs are a solid 4-6" shorter than most guys of my height. I also found the gesture to be not that great for me either.
Yeah that's a tough one. It seems like only an executive chair or a typical gaming chair are the only chairs that'll support that height...that stinks man :-/
@@Ahnestly Yeah, I think that's why I liked the lifeform so much. It's an executive style chair, but with the full suite of chair adjustments. Height, depth, lumbar, back height, synchro-tilt, infinite tilt lock, tilt tension, foward tilt, 4d arms, etc... And a Herman-miller esque warranty.
I was also looking at operator chairs because those tend to be larger, but I couldn't try one in store so it was a no go.
Omfg that foot rest đ€Żđđ
YOOOO didn't you have like 10k subs the last time you commented? Congrats man!! Blowing up!!!
I LOVE the aesthetic of these videos
Haha thanks! I'm debating on whether I should buy another light....akjsdhkjahs ahahaha gear acquisition syndrome is real...
the staple hyken has a awesome headrest, but the chair feel cheap and small
Thanks for the review Iâve really been eyeing these since they came out
No problem! Hope it helps!!!
@@Ahnestly Iâve been debating between the m7 and m5 being a $200 difference Iâm not sure if I want to spend that much more or not for the m7
The M5 has other compromises like I think the seat pan is less wide and its missing a lean back feature.
I just scored an aeron chair for $20 the other day and itâs only from 2015 XD you should check the Sidiz T50 too I was gonna buy that right before I ended up getting the aeron, it seems promising
20 dollars why can't i find these ppl
@@Kami3Kaze I found it like 5 minutes after it was posted it was just listed as office chair lol
Nice, I think my brother would like this
Nice!
looks like it is taken from the Mirus Ergonomic Office Chair
Hi could you do a review on Steelcase gesture??
Hi Ahnestly. I gave up on looking for a used Aeron. In the country where i am from, itâs almost impossible to find out. Usually they may be scam.
Could you do a comparison for Steelcase Leap v2 in comparison with Aeron 2.0
I have one coming now...along with a Gesture! Make sure you get subscribed to my other channel The Blind Guys, where we review these chairs blind! We already did chairs in the $300-700 price range, but were going to do one with uber expensive chairs soon!
@@Ahnestly already subscribed. I am looking at Steelcase seems like only reseller in my country. May not have stock.
Struggles of a 4th world country like Malaysia. đ€
I hear Malaysia is beautiful! And that does stink! I think this pandemic has everything kinda messed up! Don't give up!
@@Ahnestly yea it is.
The government not so.
Just imagine we are the last country in the world to get the Apple ECG approved!
Hey man, been looking for a new chair with a budget of under 1k, would def prefer something under 800. Being 6'2 and spend time working at home, and suggestions? would love to support you and use your link if possible
Hey! I am a HUGE fan of the Steelcase Amia. Super duper COMFORTABLE, but it looks meh. Itâs 10% off right now new via steelcase as well or you could go used via crandalloffice!
Hereâs the video of my review and links+coupon codes are in that video!
czcams.com/video/rrhbt6Ps0Bo/video.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
Excellent video! Very comprehensive and well thought. Also good to see a review from a shorter person because reviews for 6â tall men are not relevant to me đ keep it up!
Short people unite
I'm not even interested in either of these chairs but I watched the whole thing anyway because I liked your videos. The warranty for these are shady af, and at $1000 it's a complete ripoff imo. I just ordered a fully loaded Embody with Dark Mineral Sync fabric and white/titanium frame at an authorized dealer and only paid a couple hundred more than the M9, these should cost no more than $500.
Yes. This.
$1000 and you're creeping into the high-end name brand territory of Herman Miller. I mean, wtf. If you have $1000 to blow on a chair, this will never be on your short list.
Exactly. Linus Tech Tips hyped this chair up on one of their channels and I got one and returned it a couple days later. I only weigh about 230lbs and if I leaned back in the chair it would randomly pop pop pop until I was fully reclined when it supposed to be locked. This happened about once every 20 minutes. Of course I returned it but they charged about a $200 fee to return.
Also by the way, having the back notch up sucks because every time you get it or move in the chair it goes up a notch and then falls down to the lowest setting.
Mavix and x chairs are owned by the same company
great chair review
Thanks!!
Thank you
You're very welcome!!
Please review the Sihoo m57.
another great video!
Thanks for the kind words!!
I know this is an old video but i can get the m7 for $690 vs $735 for the neue chair. I need more customizable lumbar and headrest support and i feel like the m7 has that but the neue looks better and the reviews seem better but idk
The neue to me was far superior to the M7 in EVERY way unless you're tall or heavyset. The mesh is fairly loose and if you exceed the weight limit, can loosen very quickly!
@@Ahnestly Thanks for the reply! i ended up buying the m7 because i want all the adjustability since im 6'0 210 pounds hopefully i didnt make the wrong choice
@@Cozbe are you still using the m7? What are your thoughts?
@@HollowPoint_762 I love it. the lumbar isnt as agressive as id like but besides that its great. I probably would have been fine with like an m5. Thinking about it now ive had no complaints sitting for hours in it like i dont even notice it. the back rest will slide up and drop to its lowest level if you scooch up in the chair with your back on the back rest which is annoying but avoidable
@@Cozbe hey how's the chair I'm thinking about getting the m9 it's on sale right now
I tried these out, at the very least the M5 and M7, in a localish furniture dealer. They were okay. Found the seats too small for the mesh ones when it came to sitting down in the mesh and being so close to the plastic frame. I can see the mesh stretching out and bottoming out on the frame. Not great and for that much money??? No thanks.
Looking forward for a review for Human Scale Freedom Headrest.
Unfortunately, I really hate the human scale freedom chair...doubt i'll be reviewing their headrest!
@@Ahnestly hahaha, you know, your comment make me confirm my buying decision. No humanscale freedom for me!
Any thought on the sihoo v1 I'm in the market for something under ÂŁ300
did you get the sihoo v1?
can you do mavix g9 vs herman miller
Did you watch the review? Thereâs no contest haha
Just after I bought My chair i found these videos thanks CZcams algorithm
any chairs at around the $150 range?
I'm checking out the staples hyken but I have a ton of videos I have to get to first.
This is chair is 100% overpriced, but unlike SecretCrap it's actually not a stupid Ctrl C + Ctrl V racing chair design. At least Mavix are intelligent enough to have a completely different type of design that actually looks rather appealing.
Dude how old are you, if you don't mind me asking? Because on your video you posted on Mar 10, 2019 you sound WAAAAAAY younger even though its just a couple of years ago
LOLLL this is the funniest comment. Before I tell you, guess!
@@Ahnestly 22?
30?
Lol I'm 32
@@Ahnestly can i have money for being close
Did you say âa little bit more đ° ???
Rather buy a HM or Steel Case
ngl that footrest looks identical to the one from ikea that costs a fraction of the price
Sure,
Iâll put a mortgage payment on a chair. đ
I donât know why they decided they can charge in the ball park of Aeron and have quality or credentials nowhere near it. I know gamers pay premium but come on this should be 2/3 times cheaper for what it offers.
that footrest, is ridiculously expensive, i have one similar, and i paid dirty cheap
That looks like an ikea footrest with foam.
If I bought a Mavix chair I'd have to get the M5 because, you know, I'm a Star Trek fan.
I'm not a trekkie, unfortunately, so the joke is lost on me!
@@Ahnestly M5 was the Ultimate Computer designed to take over a starship. I probably wouldn't have known myself if I hadn't binged Star Trek over the lockdown.
Nice!!
Would rather have a secret lab wbu?
As an owner of a SL chair, I have to say itâs okay but not great.
@@TonyFrancis I own one as well and Iâd agree with you itâs not meant for long sit sessions in my opinion so if you sit 8 +hours a day on it itâs not the chair to get. But that being said I do enjoy the firmness but not as much as I thought I would.
There both owned by future chair
The 2 chair brands are owned by the same company
Yes
They're the same company
Nice
Seems like the general consensus is all these adjustable headrest are all awful.
Dam yo.. Does that "Legendary" chair come with a concubine for that price?
Lol
Leg Shaking is most likely a sign of Iron deficiency my dude.
Dude. I eat steak like it's my job. Lol jk but I do eat quite a bit of iron
This channel is dangerous for my wallet! I started off thinking I should spend about 250, then I started mulling over a used Aeron (around 500 everywhere I look used around me). Then I found out that if you want to cross your legs etc, the Aeron "2" is better... ooops, now the budget is suddenly gonna have to be about $750-800 shipped. Then I see this chair and it looks amazing... of course, even harder to find used so including shipping you will be hard pressed to get it down to $1K.... argh..... #Firstworldproblems
$1000 for a chinese ctrl+v chair? Not sure what they're thinking................
I think that brand got mistaken by 900$ difference
Noway subie broooo #YOHB
Lmao foot rest cap
Their returns and warranty policy sounds so scammy that's enough to put me off this chair.
No one gives honest reviews of gaming chairs. They're all paid by these companies to give good reviews. They always get free stuff and they always have affiliate links.
I said these chairs were trash, soâŠ
@@Ahnestly Hey man, from the review vid itself, it seems you said the M7 wasn't a bad chair, are they trash? Do you have a favorite chair?
1000 dollars chair ? wtf... fuck this world man..
Hey keep your head up! One day, you're gonna be like, "oh, it's only $1,000? I'll take all of em" Hang in there!
@@Ahnestly haha From your lips to God's ears cheers
How tf is this 30 minutes looool
Seriously. This Ahnestly dude needs to shut up.
5â6 and 5â7 is average height for males.
Donât think thatâs true. At least not for usa
Not impressed w/ the M9. Looks cheap. Looks overpriced. Their website looks like a middle schooler built it and looks broken and missing some webcode. The lack of information regarding the materials is concerning considering in the modern era many companies are going out of their way to disclose this type of basic product information - either to be eco-friendly or to point out in case a customer might or might not have allergies to something like fake/plastic leather (or what type of plastics were used). The fact that customer service either takes forever to respond or never responds. The fact that on their website people are complaining about crap customer service and the resolution requires regular comment posting before someone bothers to address or remedy a complaint. Instead of their customer service doing their f*cking job the first time around.
It's kind of funny that Ahn points out the adjustable back height feature. Many office chairs 10-20+ years ago used to have adjustable backs before this modern cookie-cutter era. IT wasn't necessarily a standard feature at the time; but it was common on many chairs.
interesting! I only sat in pleather cookie cutter office chairs growing up! Yeah the M9 is a waste of $$
Mavix didnât pay me but use my code
Hey! If you watch the video, you see that I critiqued both chairsâŠa LOT! I donât let the fact that Iâm an affiliate get in the way of an objective review. If you want to donate to the channel so i can review chairs without being an affiliate, that would be awesome!
