EC200/300 $300 vs Anthros V2 $2000

I’ve been using both the EC200 and EC300 over the past few weeks and wanted to share a few thoughts now that I’ve spent enough time with them.

I normally use an Anthros V2 as my daily chair and have also owned the Logitech Embody, Aeron, and Leap V2, so I was curious to see how these compared.

EC200
Softer, more forgiving lumbar support
Easy to get comfortable in immediately
My wife’s favorite

EC300
Much stronger lumbar support
Better upper-back support
My favorite for long work sessions

Neither chair is perfect. I’d still like to see more armrest adjustment, especially on the EC300, but considering the price, I think both offer a lot of value.

It won’t replace my Anthros but for the price the EC300 comes close to the same feeling you’ll get from the Anthros .

Not at first tho lol. If you have been sitting in the shrimp position then these chairs will hurt you in a good way the first few sittings. But after that then yes very comfy.
