| Customer Reviews: Average Rating: 4.5/5 | | Great sound, but could be a bit more comfortable: Rating: 4/5 |
I received this as a gift and wasn't sure exactly what to think of it. I do spend many hours per week playing video games, and usually the sofa or other chairs aren't positioned exactly where I want them -- which is right in front of the screen, dead-center. Turning up the stereo also bothered everybody else in the house. This chair allows me to sit exactly where I want, with quick access to sound controls, and the sound literally right under me.
The sound from this chair is excellent. It has a decent-sized ported subwoofer located on the back of the chair. Bass is excellent, if not "rumbling". The stereo speakers are located at the top of the chair, on each side of the headrest. Although they face out, away from the chair, their placement actually creates a decent stereo effect -- similar to wearing headphones, without that "sound in the middle of the head" effect. Volume is quite adequate -- turning the volume all the way up produces virtually no distortion while gaming, and only slight distortion while listening to music. It's great for watching movies or other videos. Additionally, you can actually keep the volume lower during off-hours gaming -- and since the speakers are practically right next to your head, you can still hear everything. The controls include a separate bass adjustment and volume control, an audio input, and an audio output for daisy-chaining more than one chair or connecting it to something else.
The chair is comfortable. Even after over one year, the padding and cushioning has maintained its shape and the chair has remained comfortable, including the headrest. It has a decent curved shape, but I think the chair tends to recline too far when you just sit in it. I end up placing a pillow under the back to help keep it leaning forward; otherwise, I end up leaning forward with no back-support. The armrests are perfectly positioned and make for comfortable gaming.
The downside is the length of the included cables. The audio cable is just long enough for my placement/installation, but I would have preferred something longer. I would recommend finding an extension cable. The chair uses a power supply, and the cable for that is relatively short -- you'll either need to be near an outlet or have an extension cord available. The cables result in a not-so-neat installation and create a trip-hazard.
Overall, the chair has provided many, many hours or reliable enjoyment. I've owned it for over a year, and the material has not split or cracked, and it is in perfect working condition. I recommend this chair for any "console gamer". |
| | Great Chair: Rating: 5/5 |
| Chair is comfortable to sit on. Would be nice to have a foot rester to lay your feet on while watching television. The speakers are decent. Overall it's pretty nice. |
| | X Rocker: Rating: 5/5 |
| Great chair, great sound quality, arms rests are great to have but wish it had a little more cushion on the seat and backrest. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who does a fair amount of gaming. |
| | X Marks the Spot: Rating: 5/5 |
| I was originally skeptical about buying furniture online (if you can call these furniture, really), but in hindsight, it was a decision I cannot regret. I absolutely love this chair. Originally, I had bought it as a replacement to my old AK Rocker, which was in most respects one of the more uncomfortable chairs I've ever used (no cushioning, bad back, often caused muscle issues from prolonged usage), and had made it into more of a place to dump stuff to keep it off the floor. Now, I use the X Rocker every chance I get, from movies, to music, to computer, to games, anything. My only gripe is the sound input adapter is really flimsy (plug bent within two days, wouldn't stay in), but things like those are easy to replace. All in all, a great buy, and a great chair. |
| | Comfortable chair, fast delivery, sound does not work: Rating: 3/5 |
| Love the comfort of the chair and the purchase and delivery were great; however, the sound does not work on the chair. To be fair I did not contact the seller because at that point the only recourse I could see was to maybe swap out the chair and the chair is too big to deal with that. |
