X Rocker 51396 Pro Series Pedestal 2.1 Gaming Chair Review

Last Updated on March 2, 2020 by Jake

Overview

 

The Gaming Chair is a great choice for gamers on a budget.  The chair is comfy, features 2.1 AFM surround sound, and is at a great price point.

 

 

If you take your music and sound seriously there is a lot to love here.  There are two speakers built into the top of the chair and a built in subwoofer that uses AFM technology so you can really feel the bass thumping.  One neat feature of the chairs is that multiple chairs can sync up to the same source. 

 

So if you and a friend are playing split screen or watching a movie, each of your chairs can play the audio at the exact same time.  The chair has built in Bluetooth technology as well so you can sync it up to your phone for mobile gaming.

 

Normal chairs sit you upright which is fine for paying attention but can cause back issues if you sit for long periods of time.  Since gamers typically sit for hours at a time, X Rocker designed the pro series to have an ergonomic back cushion that will keep your posture from slouching.  The chair is also good looking with leather-like exterior that is super easy to clean.

 

Unlike many other rocking or pedestal gaming chairs, any body size and weight can enjoy the X Rocker 51396 due to the large area size of the chair.

 

Features

  • Amazing 2.1 AFM sound really immerses you in the experience.
  • Wireless Bluetooth compatible audio can sync with game consoles or mobile devices.
  • Audio system can link up multiple chairs to the same source.
  • Ergonomic design will keep your posture in check while also providing comfort.
  • The chair has a nice range of tilt and swivel.
  • Great price point.

 

Downsides

 

A few customers have complained about the maneuverability of the backrest.  While it can swivel and tilt, leaning back specifically is limited.  If your style is to get up close to the tv and look up, this could be problematic.  But for everybody else it shouldn’t be a problem!
