What does it take to be the Best Gaming Chair? Your answer will highly depend on your own preferences. For some, it takes a high quality sound system, leaving them on the hunt for the Best Gaming Chair with Speakers. There are several chairs out there on the market, including the X Rocker Pro Series Gaming Chair, that aim to fulfill gamers’ desire for comfort and immersion. This pedestal gaming chair is cushy and comfy for hours of play; that is, in the right conditions. This isn’t the perfect gaming chair, but it may be just right for you.

Why We Like It – X Rocker Pro Series Gaming Chair

With two speakers and a vibrating subwoofer, the X Rocker Pro Series Gaming Chair is sure to keep you fully immersed in the latest games and movies. Its sleek, modern design is certain to look good in an office, game room, or home theater.

Pros
  • Cushiony seat and back
  • Front-facing dual speakers
  • Durable PU leather with high quality stitching
Cons
  • Non Adjustable headrest and armrests
  • Outdated audio connections

Support

At first glance, the X Rocker Pro Series Gaming Chair looks comfortable and ergonomically designed to make hours-long gaming sessions a breeze. While many reviewers found this true for a time, most discovered that any support in the seat cushion was gone after only a few months of use. Others claim that this pedestal gaming chair offers poor lower back support because of the non adjustable headrest pillow and overall seat design. If you’re looking for a game chair that provides stellar support for your entire body, consider instead the Gtracing Gaming Chair. Browsing for another seat with an advanced audio system?

Comfort

Discomfort can put a real hamper on an otherwise incredible gaming experience, and reviewers are in disagreement over how comfortable this X Rocker Gaming Chair actually is. The cushiony back is nigh-unanimously praised aside from the lack of lower back support some reviewers had, but the seat is not as well-liked. Because the seat isn’t very supportive and the cushion tends to degrade quickly over time, many note that the seat’s support bar can be felt through the cushion, leaving their legs in massive discomfort. For several others, the armrests are another problem area: they aren’t padded and grow tiresome after only a few minutes. It seems safe to say that this chair looks comfier than it actually feels.

Adjustability

There isn’t much space for adjustments in the X Rocker Pro Series Gaming Chair. This chair offers a bit more adjustability than the similar X Rocker 51259 Pro H3 4.1 Audio Gaming Chair, but that’s a low bar to meet. Here, any recline limited to rocking back on the pedestal base, which will more than likely require an ottoman or other footrest. The armrests are completely non-adjustable, as is the aforementioned headrest, so anyone that doesn’t fit quite right in the chair is likely to get uncomfortable before long.

Breathability

Most reviewers praise the X Rocker Pro Series Gaming Chair’s PU leather exterior for its durability and high quality stitching. What they don’t praise, though, is its breathability. Reviewers are quick to point out that this fabric generates a higher amount of heat and sweat than a more cloth-like alternative like that on the Cohesion XP 2.1 Gaming Chair. Users in warmer climates may find this uncomfortable for long gaming sessions. Faux-leather is also notorious for sticking to skin, especially in the heat, so users will likely have a better experience while wearing long pants and sleeves.

Value

At $250 with free shipping, the X Rocker Pro Series Gaming Chair sits on the higher end of the price spectrum for high quality gaming chairs, which manufacturer Ace Bayou justifies with the inclusion of two speakers and a vibrating subwoofer. The sound quality is decent, all things considered, and both sound and vibration can be controlled through an inconspicuous control panel. A problem arises, though, when considering when this chair’s audio components were made versus when you’re actually buying it. Several reviewers bring up this fact by pointing out that any modern audio connection like HDMI will need various adapters to hook up to the chair’s RCA hookups. So, be prepared to spend more on dongles if you want to use the dual-speaker setup here.

X Rocker Pro Series Gaming Chair Wrap Up

There’s no such thing as the perfect gaming chair, and what might have been great at one time could be looked on less-favorably now. So seems to be the case with the X Rocker Pro Series Gaming Chair, and the outdated RCA connections demonstrate this perfectly. Other than this, common complaints about this chair include its poor durability and non adjustable components. Generally, though, reviewers did praise the X Rocker for the relatively high sound quality from the two speakers, the cushiony seat and back, and the durable faux-leather exterior. This is a pretty good chair that is probably best bought when it’s on sale.
