KD X-Rocker Gaming/Music Chair w/ Headrest Speakers & Subwoofer

Surprise - total comfort!

Strengths: Comfortable, nice looking, multi-functional

Weaknesses: None

Summary: I am a 36 year-old who wanted a comfortable spot where I could relax while working with my notebook on my lap. This chair allows me to sit hour after hour in comfort. This chair is, ironically, the most inexpensive chair I own, yet the most comfortable. My back is thanking me tremendously.

I also enjoy watching movies or listening to my mp3 player from this chair utilizing the audio connection. The sound coming from the chair's speakers is very clear. The bass control is a very nice feature, as well.

• Where did you purchase the chair? And for what price?

Good Chair

Strengths: -Incredible sounding chair -Great comfort. -Great for gaming. Speakers give you the feel you are actually in the game.

Weaknesses: -Too many cords, can cause a lot of tripping hazards.

Summary: I bought this chair for my wife for Christmas. Go figure she games more than I do. She immediately feel in love with the chair because of how loud and engrossing the sound was. Not only that, it was incredibly comfortable for her to sit in. She flipped at the sub woofer vibrating her butt while she was playing.

I thought the speakers would have been low quality and hissing when plugged in. We didn't find any noticable white noise resonance coming from the speakers even at high volume. This is a major plus in my book as I thought I would have to find decent speakers for it after the purchase. The speakers are so good, people not even sitting in the chair can enjoy the crisp sound coming from it.

The only gripes we had about the chair were the amount of wires coming from it. The power supply was short so we had to move the chair near a wall in order to use, though the product does come with 12 feet of RCA wire to connect to your tv. Plus the wires coming out from the side to plug in the tv don't make it a product you can keep plugged in all the time in high-traffic areas unless you run it under the carpet

Most console gamers sit on the floor when they play, and this chair is made for anyone who does. This chair would have been a god-send when I lived in the dorms. If you are a gamer and don't have a decent sound system with your entertainment center, get this chair.

I can't believe Wal-Mart actually sold something of this quality for so cheap. Hats-off to them. If you haven't gotten this chair, try picking it up retail before they go out of stock. This is considered a seasonal item, don't miss out on this.

Great Buy

Strengths: NA

Weaknesses: NA

Summary: My wife recently bought me the X-Rocker for my birthday... I'm a 27-year old gamer and she knew I was interested in similar chairs for gaming by the TV when friends come over, but when she couldnt find any "basic" ones she got me this one instead because it's "better" with speakers. And it definitely is! For watching movies, playing games on the TV, etc, this chair is extremely comfortable, well made, and the only time I have been *UN*comfortable in it was sitting cross-legged on it for an extended period of time, since my ankles pressed into one of the crossing supports near the front edge of the seat.

I have a home theater so I don't have a need to hook up movies or console games to the chair, but using my Nintendo DS with the chair is absolutely fantastic. (Quick side note - you will need the older GBA SP headset adapter for the DS to work properly with this chair since the headphone->RCA plug does not sit flush in the DS's stock headphone jack due to a small recession beneath the plastic). Volume can be turned much higher than I would ever want to turn it, and while the Bass dial doesnt adjust the bass TOO much, it does to an extent and is somewhat noticable. It may be more noticable if you were listening to bass-heavy music or movies, though, and not the type of music I get from my specific games. The two speakers sound great, and the subwoofer in the chair really makes the X-Rocker stand out in my eyes.

The only con I have with the chair is that it needs to be wired to it's power cable if you're using the speakers. And since I wanted to put my chair in the middle of the room, I ended up spending $3 on a 9' extension cord so that I could plug the chair in where I wanted it to go. Still, for times when you aren't using the speakers, just unplug it and move it anywhere to just use it as the comfortable chair that it is.

I really wish this chair existed when I was back in college, because me and my housemates undoubtedly all would have owned our own to hook up in our living room.

Is the X-Rocker a "necessity"? I dont think so for most home theater applications, altho I admit it would be nice to have a row of them set up so everyone watching a movie could all have sound built right into their seats. But if you want a place to plug in portable game systems, laptops, mp3 players, etc and also want a comfortable chair at the same time - or hey, if you just want to spend a little extra on a chair that will make you smile - I think the chair is a great pickup.
