Audio X Rocker - Black Reviews

• excellent gaming chair

  
  By A2ADGQUZXULWUI on 2007-08-22
  Quickly, I will tell you it is well built, it is a good looking chair, and the speakers sound great (I have the chair connected to my headphone plug of my surround sound receiver so the audio is outputed to the chair. My XBox 360, PS3, and the Wii all sound great!) The bass sound is great on the chair. It's also stable and rocks appropriately for lack of a better description.
  Finally, one of the chair's best advantage is the arm rests. Many gaming chairs don't have them and having them provides great support while gaming for hours. THe only con for me is that I wish the chair was a little cushier - it is conformtable but I think a little to firm. But that probably has to do with the housing of the chair which holds the speakers and electronics inside. Nevertheless a good buy, a good chair, and worth the price. Oh, and easy to put together (about three steps really).
  
  
  

• Extreme Gaming in Xtreme comfort!!!!

  I received an Xrocker for my B-day and absolutely love it. I can hook up my Xbox/PS2 or GameCube, DVD or IPod though the speaker system. The chair itself is very comfortable too as it rocks gently to your pace. Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  

• Perfect for all TV related things

  
  By A2W36OONSDMA03 on 2007-07-06
  This chair is perfect for watching movies or playing videogames (I use it for both very often). I love the built in speakers and they are compatible with EVERYthing you would need... The DVD player, the videogame system, the actual TV itself, and you can even hook up your mp3 player to it. The chair rocks but not enough to be annoying, just enough to give you something to do while sitting. The armrests are simple, but comfortable. There is a bass and volume control down on the bottom right of the chair. You honestly feel like you're at the movies when you sitting in this thing in the dark with the speakers on. If you are looking for an alternative to a generic couch or chair for when you spend time infront of the TV, the audio X rocker is definitley a great buy.
  
  

• Great Chair, impressive, worth twice the price, cool features

  
  By A3AN72AEPKXAYU on 2007-11-18
  I bought 2 of these together to add temporary additional seating to my 4 permanent seats in my home theatre. These will be used on the floor in front of my front theatre row for extra seating. These are very well built. I am 31 and weigh 210 and they are solid and confortable. They have sturdy padded chrome armrests. The speakers are pleasently surprising in their sound quality with little to no distortion at max volume. There is even red lighted ring around the sub on the back, really cool. My wife loves them as she is rocking in it with her MP3 player right now. They are easily worth twice the price. Do not bother looking further just get these.
  
  

• Sturdy chair and armrests are a plus

  
  By A3P2IPL3SKORQY on 2007-11-25
  This is a great chair for video gaming. I looked at a lot before purchasing this one and for the money it is best hands down. The biggest reason is the armrests. Most don't have any and it is nice to have a place to rest your arms while holding the gaming remote. It rocks nicely (not too much) and the sound is great. In my expereince, have found it to be compatabile with ipod, dvd, ps2 and TV. I am looking at getting a second one because we like the first one so much. When they go on sale at Target for $64, or so, they are a steal~!
  
  
• Wish I had one.
  By A2FPCZG0T2RO96 on 2008-02-22
  I had wanted to buy one of these for my son's birthday. I read all of the positive reviews and thought this would be a great chair. The $49.99 price appeared to be a good deal. Since this is sold by Target (instead of Amazon) there is shipping involved. The shipping almost doubles the price. No problem, I thought I would just go to my local Target store and pick one up. That is where the problem comes in. The local stores (I checked several) would not match their internet price. They still have it listed for $99. Most retail stores have a price match guarantee so I was surprised they would not even match their own web price! It looks like they are the only chain store that carries these so I was not able to get somebody else to match the price. I ended up getting a different one at Best Buy that I may end up taking back because it is not very comfortable. I guess I will have to watch and see if it goes on sale at Target.
  
  
• Awesome chair
  By A3PFZJGDV2IL3Z on 2007-10-12
  this chair is awesome. i love that it was cheap and its sturdy and easy to set up. i listen to alot of music and i can now enjoy it in my chair. also have my 360 playing through it. if ur a gamer or someone who loves movies, get this chair!!!!!
  
  
• Rockin' good time
  By A28D2PRGK967JV on 2007-12-06
  This is a fantastic product. I tried 1 other chair before this, and this blew it away. I initially wanted a chair that folds, but I soon found out that the higher quality chairs do not fold, so if you want a sturdy and reliable chair, stationary is the way to go.
  The X Rocker has a great bass sound coming from under your seat, and up by your ears you have the left and right channels, so as the game or movie or whatever you have on your sound system starts dividing the audio between the left and right, you will hear it to the appropriate side. The sound really envelops you as you sit in this relaxing and comfortable chair.
  
  It comes with all the cables you need, including adapters to make it work in you situation. I turn it on to watch movies and just leave it in the middle of the room.
  
  It rocks fully onto its back very easily, so be careful with wild and crazy rocking, esp. w/ little kids.
  
  It Holds up to 250 lbs with sturdy construction.
  
  Very easy to put together in just a few minutes. I would get one again and again, hands down.
  
  
• Great chair for Gaming, worth the $
  By A329W2R4PIFVQC on 2007-12-11
  I've already bought a couple of chairs just for use playing my xbox 360 or when using my laptop. However I had always gone the cheapest route fearing I'd be wasting my money on a chair I regretted buying. I have bought and returned a couple lower modeled similar chairs to this look wise mainly because I felt like they would fall apart or if I laid back they had no control and could tip. I bought a couple metal folding types as well for $20-40 but they wore out of just weren't comforable.
  
  However I decided to finally go ahead and spend a bit more and did some research, every review on this chair was great. Originally I didn't want the speaker system but it didn't seem like there was a solid option without it. So I went and tested it out and immediately loved it. Comfort wise it is excellent if you like a firm chair, the cushioned headrest is a great and high enough you can actually lean back unlike many of the chairs. The armrests are nice as well and at first I thought I wouldn't use them but now find they were are a plus(if you don't want them you can leave them off). One of the best features of the chair is it's stability it is balanced well and the width and depth of the seat keep you in control with the ability to rock but not lean back and lose control and tip over backwards.
  
  The bonus for me is the sound, now I am no expert but when I hooked this into my xbox 360 and was playing some Halo3 I was really blown away. The quality was great and the speaker placement is really good, with the volume and bass controls on the side it is easy to adjust for personal preference. I don't have a sound system hooked to my gaming center so this really provided that to me along with what I most needed a comfortable seat for those late night gaming sessions.

  The only negative is the anti-rust spray I had to apply to the rusty pin and the linkage it goes through to keep the chair in the open position while you attach the arms, if you choose to do so. I can't see inside the chair but everything works and sounds very solid. Ace Bayou Corp. gives its' location as New Orleans, LA, which may explain the source of the rust? There is a warning label on the arms not to put your weight on them while entering/exiting the chair but at 180lbs they feel sturdy to me. The newer X-rocker II has less sturdy but foldable arms which also makes it easy to fold the whole chair. The vinyl on this chair is thick and well stitched with a side pocket and a zippered storage area under the chair. At 5'7"(on a good day), I find this chair comfortable and supportive, although definitely not plush. It is stable on my hardwood floor and probably more so on carpeting. I'm not a gamer but I have been using this chair as a stand alone speaker system while listening to a portable radio or my tv, whether seated in it or not, and I have some decent stereo equipment! The power cord is about 6.5' long and the audio cord is about 10', with 3.5mm and RCA ends and adapters. This is my first experience with this type of product and I highly recommend the X-rocker.
  
  
• Great chair!!
  By A3DF867RMVUUW1 on 2007-12-02
  Very comfortable and can sit in it for hours playing games or watching movies. Love the armrests. Has great audio.
  
  
• REALLY awesome chair... Does everything right!!
  By A1D292TAGXR1EW on 2008-02-24
  Do not hesitate in buying this chair! When I saw almost all of the amazon reviews of this chair were 5 stars, I bought it and they were absolutely right! The only improvement to the chair would be to make it more portable, but I don't plan on moving it from house to house much anyway. Please be aware that the shipping of this chair is about $30, because it's by the pound. Yet, please note that this chair is more than worth it! Retail price of the chair is $100, and most chairs that I've sat in like this were worth $200-$300 and were NOT as good as this one. $80 was a steal for this high-quality chair!
  
  Pros:
  +can connect any audio that uses (green) headphone jack or (red/yellow) audio/video cables
  +is very comfortable
  +good center of balance for rocking (doesn't tip over easily)
  +GREAT sound quality (as loud as you want it, as much bass as you want)
  +easy to reach volume/bass controls, A/V plug
  +Use it for your console (xbox 360, wii, ps3, snes, ps2, whatever!)
  +Use it for your TV or DVD player
  +Use it for your PSP, Game Boy, or Nintendo DS
  +Use it for your laptop or desktop computer
  
  Cons:
  -difficult to move between homes (only folds when arms are off)
  -Heavy (weighs ~50 lbs.)
  
  Bottom line, if you want a gaming rocker, buy this. You won't regret it. $80 well spent in every way.
  
  
• For the Price it's cool
  By A1UMSSE2XCPXQM on 2008-03-11
  Though I didn't hook it up, it seemed pretty easy. The chair is comfortable and definitely well made. For the price (even including the extra 30 buck for shipping) I think it was worth it 100%. Only complaints are the arm handles can start feeling loose if you but a good amount of stress on them (ie. pulling the chair by them leaning sideways onto them etc...) and I would say it's avoidable but I'm guessing if you are buying this chair or are giving it as a gift, it's probably going to a boy which in that case the stress is unavoidable. It's nothing too bothersome nor extremely noticeable anyways just something you should know before purchasing. Again with the putting stress on the chair issue, the cords that we used to hook this up to the sound system is already damaged. (the double-sided headphone jack) It's a little bent (due to the inescapable stress from boys again) so as of right now the sound works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. Either way, we have a good sound system anyway so speakers were actually not the purpose of my order, just the icing on the cake. I bought the chair because it was cheap, had arm handles, and was a more professional (and less childish video game chair) looking black leather sleek chair. I recommend it 100% to anyone looking for a video game chair. Oh and the chair is pretty heavy FYI and though it folds forward (with arm handles not attatched) it's not really worth moving around alot. Only purchase if you mean to keep it in 1 general area.
  
  
• Great sound, but could be a bit more comfortable
  By A306153FTKS9PL on 2008-09-09
  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".
  
  
• X Rocker rocks this World
  By A283CZS8CTFN8S on 2007-12-27
  The X Rocker is a realy good chair for people who like video games. I can play my Xbox and Ps2 on it. It's very comfortable and for it's price, the sound is awesome. It comes with all the cords and converters to hook up to your game system or DVD player. It also hooks up to your handheld systems like your mp3 player or PSP. It can even hook up to your sattelite receiver and you can watch tv with it. X Rocker is awesome.
  
  
• Nice product - great price
  By A24AR714R75YL1 on 2008-01-02
  I bought this item for my husband as a Christmas gift. He really enjoys using it, not only for gaming, but also for listening to music (it can also be used for movies). The in-seat speakers (actually they are located on the sides of the chair back) are great and have a ncie sound quality.
  
  The chair itself could be prone to tilting back a bit too much, but only if you're moving around a lot or being rowdy.
  
  The seat is comfortable, leather seems of good quality and was pretty easy to put together. It is quite heavy though.
  
  Nice control panel on side of seat, arm rests are padded and there are little storage pouches too.
  
  Generally, a really nice item and a great accessory for a gamer. And a nice price, too. I've seen some models for twice what I paid.
  
  
• Awesome Chair
  By A1G1N97SYYMA3J on 2008-01-02
  I received this chair for Christmas, and so far I am very pleased with it. It's very comfortable, has nice armrests, and I can even rock back and forth in it. The speakers on this chair are small, but they sound amazing, and the built-in subwoofer gives the chair a very nice bass sound. I've been using it very often for listening to my ipod and playing my playstation 2. My music sounds awesome, and playing games is a great experience with the realistic sound and the chair rumbling, it puts me right in the game. This is a great chair and I highly reccomend it!

• Audio X-rocker
  By A2MCUIHP5LGCY5 on 2008-01-07
  I purchased this for my son for Christmas. It is an excellent product for the money. The acoustics are great and it is very comfortable. When his friends come over, they all say that they want one for their house. I would recommend this product without hesitation.

  By A3TALXN2104Y42 on 2008-01-08
  Just bought this chair over the weekend. Very well made, comfortable and the sound quality is exceptional. My son loves this chair. The arms on the rocker make it even better. I thought he wouldn't need them on while playing guitar hero, but he rests his arms on it. The only thing is that the chair seems to tip when someone weighs less than 100 pounds. Other than that it is an awesome chair for the price. I bought this chair reading the reviews and agree with everyone; money well spent.

• It rocks! Literally.
  By A6GELTNNGF2VB on 2008-01-14
  My teenage son enjoys video games so much more now that he has this chair. He keeps the volume cranked up so high, it's like we're in a surround-sound movie theater!
  
  
• Great Buy
  By A14A5VG3BDRQ9U on 2008-01-15
  I bought this chair for my husband for Christmas. I had looked at a few and went with this mainly because of the high back. I am really glad I did. He loves it. Unfortunely - I can't get him out of it most of the time!! My kids love sitting it too. It is really comfortable and usually ends up being the chair of choice. My husband is about 5'10" and the back is high enough so that when he leans back he can rest his head without it falling back. It was easy to set up and the speakers have good sound quality. Overall I am glad I went with the more expensive one for the quality I ended up with.

• AMAZING CHAIR
  By AVAGJJGAPP5RE on 2008-01-18
  Hey there!!
  I bought this chair for my husband for Christmas and i cannot get him out of it!! The sound is amazing!! Sometimes i don't even realize that the sound is coming from the chair and not the tv!! The quality of this chair is amazing, and the sound so clear and crisp. I would recommend this chair to anyone who wants the full Gameing experience or movie theatre like experience :)
  The arm rests are VERY useful as well...more so than you would think!! :)
  Enjoy!!!
  
  
• Far Exceeded Expectations
  By A3DNZEGOA9S1JA on 2008-01-19
  I bought this rocker for my 16 year old son, who is 6'2", and an avid gamer. I was concerned I wouldn't be able to find a chair that was not only big enough to accomodate his height, but also comfortable and durable. I got it all! This is a great chair. My son not only comfortably enjoys gaming in it, but I've often found him simply relaxing in it, with his iPOD hooked up. Strange as it may sound, I'd get one for me... I'm not a gamer, but I can easily see myself relaxing in it, doing some sewing or reading, listening to my music. Simple to put together, very sturdy, easy to keep clean. I recommend it.
  
  
• best xmas gift this year

• Perfect Item...
  By A23TNOGH15BXKM on 2008-01-24
  This is the best gift I have ever bought. I bought it for my boyfriend and he spends so much time in it. He works in it, plays games in it, relaxes and eats in it. It is comfortable and doesn't take up a lot of space.
  
  
• Audio X Rocker
  By A1GK7W4LXZUD3Y on 2008-02-14
  This chair is definately a great buy. It is large and roomy enough for a tall person, my husband is 6'4. The arms are not flimsy at all and rather compliment the whole experience by giving the gamer somewhere to rest his arms. The chair itself is very padded and just plain comfortable. He says it enhances the whole gaming experience and that it sounds great!! I would buy this for other gamers in my family. Best chair for gaming i have seen! Well worth the price!
