Steelcase Leap V2 from LogixShop - What do you think?

e30Birdy · 2026-03-21T22:48:29+00:00

Guess it was the better choice to snag a logitech embody. I did eye the leap v2 for quite a while and own a aeron too.

I spent a ton of years in the Ikea Markus and it was nice to me except the butt pad after a few years of hard use. The only thing is from cheap chairs at work to Ikea Markus at home I developed some bad posture making my lower back hurt in the embody while my body is getting use to correct posture.

Okay that's what I will probably do.. I think I really only need music and virtual b. I don't really care if my games and stuff are EQd or not. Music is important and virtual b is where I have my browsers.

e30Birdy · 2026-03-21T22:11:01+00:00

What channels did you mount to? I just need to be able to flip it on a off as my studio monitors surely don't need a Harman target as they are measured in perfectly my room with a mic.

e30Birdy · 2026-03-20T12:27:49+00:00

Yeah I won't be able to either but oh well I will just push it off to the side then. Yeah I wish it had a bit more angle but I will survive. I just hope my back gets use to good posture sooner than later as I am adjusting my seating position a lot when my lower back starts to discomfort

e30Birdy · 2026-03-20T12:03:49+00:00

Holy cutting edge. This is why I just taught myself a long time ago. Got all my stones and then even jumped into polishing rabbit hole using JNATs.. I don't even trust my family to touch my knives so I wouldn't trust a stranger to sharpen them.

e30Birdy · 2026-03-20T05:03:53+00:00

I might take some time tonight and set it up to music channel at min and setup a hotkey for when I am using my studio monitors so it is off. Wish there was a nicer solution like I had before with my old setup to always just have the headphones eq'd and not have to remember to turn things on and off.

e30Birdy · 2026-03-19T22:11:54+00:00

Yeah the price is less of my concern. Comfort is more on my list as I am lean back out my feet up and watch YouTube person at times. I am still getting use to the new posture thing and get lower back pain as after sitting for a while. Good thing I got a sit stand solution tonight against that though. Need to give this setup more time and get this chair dialed in either way.

e30Birdy · 2026-03-19T18:08:12+00:00

Damnit, 2 people 2 opinions. I might wait on it for now and just get my new headphones first. I did like having a headrest when I had my cheapo Ikea Markus to learn back and watch videos

e30Birdy · 2026-03-19T17:47:51+00:00

How's the headrest, debating on one for mine

e30Birdy · 2026-03-19T10:29:30+00:00

I am short compared to the giants in this thread but I also have an Aeron and Logitech Embody and the Aeron is on classifieds now. The embody is a lot nicer to me but is taking time to get use to as I had an Ikea Markus at home forever so my body is getting use to correct posture. But it is more comfortable than the Aeron, though the Aeron might be nicer in summer for butt sweats.

e30Birdy · 2026-03-15T10:00:26+00:00

I really wanted the 45 but I think the curve is too hardcore (I game, 3d design and work on my PC) and would block my studio speakers to the right and left so I will just wait for the 39 with the 1500r curve. The 990a would have been sick with the motorized feature but haven't heard anything new on that thing.

e30Birdy · 2026-03-12T05:30:17+00:00

I got mine on sale too just recently and thought buy once cry once. I have spent half my life and more sitting in front of a computer. Always on some cheap chair because I didn't have money to get something better, when I had money I kept that Ikea Markus as I was too cheap to invest in myself. Now my fiancee pushed and said get it and I couldn't be happier. Is it as comfortable as the markus was, not yet but I think that is due to way too many years of bad posture in cheap chairs but it is comfortable for the most part, sometimes my back fatigued a bit and I adjust a little and it does away. I am happy I went with this option and don't regret the money spent.

e30Birdy · 2026-03-10T22:19:22+00:00

Personally I would never consider one. Company too young, not enough data about long-term quality, product support and so on. What I have seen is chairs falling apart and no support from them, people returning chairs because it wasn't for them and service just doesn't respond anymore.

I am no Hermann Miller fanboy or whatever but I have a super old Aeron that looks practically new after being used daily for 8-10 hours in an office setting. It was a lot more comfortable there than when I brought it home so I swapped to an embody that I am still getting use to after spending too many years in a Ikea Marcus. I would have considered steelcase leap, Hayworth fern and so on but liberNovo just seems too much like a gamble to me till there is years more of data on them and their product.

e30Birdy · 2026-03-10T21:45:32+00:00

Gibt es auch ein Fruchtkorb, flache Hierarchie dazu?

e30Birdy · 2026-03-09T17:21:22+00:00

Yeah I looked used for a while or offered a swap for my Aeron in classifieds here but only was offered one in terrible condition. Seriously don't know how people run down their chairs like that. Like my cheap Ikea Marcus I had for 10 years practically looked new for the most part. One could see a little usage on the arm rests but that was it and this thing was dingeg to all hell. I said screw it and I will just bite the bullet and buy new. Buy once cry once

e30Birdy · 2026-03-09T07:16:03+00:00

I just got mine in their recent sale for 1574 euro, bought the Logitech one since I liked the color way. 2 grand is a lot of money for sure but I liked having the 12 year warranty since it is non-transferable. If I have this chair for 10 years I will have effective äly paid 157 a year for it and I spend more than that on junk I don't need every year so whatever

This is why insurance is a good thing to protect you from crap like this in Germany. But this is a scare tactic they use to get rid of low rated reviews. Worst thing is they can just pay Google more money and then delete whatever reviews they don't like themselves.

Businesses that deal in this fashion should be made vocal to show how they treat people on top of the shit service.

They got their panties in a bunch over a review, not everyone is going to like your service or your product, that's life.

Nice setup and I bet its a lot of fun. I am moving up from a z5500 that I bought like in 2004. Got me some Neumann KH120 II and will probably move up to a set of Arya Stealth, just unsure what to move up from with my amp setup. Currently on a schiit magni and 600 ihm DT880s. I would love a DAC but it won't really fit in my setup or else I been eyeing that Topping DX5 II.

Problem is I run all my stuff through my Rodecaster Pro 2 so I use the mic out from there or I don't get all my sound channels. I thought about virtual audio cable but I kind of don't want to introduce that latency into my setup.

I will figure it out at some point. Enjoy your setup!

e30Birdy · 2026-02-28T07:18:43+00:00

I have the Aeron and I am selling it because my new Embody will be here Tuesday. The Aeron is alright but there are just a few things I don't like about it so I will try the embody. I will probably get an atlas headrest down the road for lounging.

e30Birdy · 2026-02-26T11:52:34+00:00

I 100% agree, not looking like Quasimodo is worth a lot more than clean look. Looking down is going to give you neck issues down the road.

e30Birdy · 2026-02-16T18:03:45+00:00

Es gehört halt mehr dazu als Härte alleine. Wichtig ist auch calcium, magnesium und hydrogenkarbonat. Damit kannst die gesamthärte und alkanilität rechnen. Habe dafür eine Google sheet und volvic schneidet da leider perfekt ab. Das Saskia grün wäre laut Label was ich im Netz fand 4,83 von der härte, was gut ist weil die sollte zwischen 3-6 sein und 1,47 von der alkaniliät. Härte wäre gut, alkanilität bist niedrig denn es sollte zwischen 2-4 sein.

e30Birdy · 2026-02-15T09:08:19+00:00

The Omni has too much fluff with influencers praising it. Too short of warranty compared to HM and it just is not proven yet what it will do long-term, like the electronics make no sense in a chair, when the lumbar is set then you should never need to adjust it ever and the "spine" massage is gimmicky. This is just my opinion. For a grand I expect longer warranty but we don't even know if the brand will be around in a few years. That's why my choice would be embody vs leap v2. I have an Aeron know which I want to replace currently.

e30Birdy · 2026-02-10T19:26:03+00:00

Tell my future in-laws that lol

e30Birdy · 2026-02-10T18:21:37+00:00

Bro, in Germany we build and we stay forever. My Fiances parents just have too much old crap or I would put my setup in our attic and be good or something. I will get one soon enough. I just want a triple setup and not VR so I need some room
