Product Review for the X Rocker 2 Gaming Chair

Chad Fowler
The X Rocker Chair for the most part is a great gaming chair; it's comfortable, it's got good fabric, the sound is good and it's easy to set up. It is the first gaming chair I have ever owned but I have used numerous ones. I can't confidently compare the X Rocker 2 with any other just because I haven't used any others for a prolonged period of time.

This chair is comfortable (once you're in it), it is low to the ground which as far as I can tell they are all like that. The balance is really good so you do not have to position yourself just right so you're not rocking back and forth. The fabric is really comfortable even though it might not look that way. It looks really sharp and would go in any gaming room from bottom to top of the line. I would give the comfort level a 9 out of 10 and the only reason for that is because the arms are really easy to break. I had mine for about a week before one of the screws became stripped and the arm has since been loose. It is still attached and still serves it purpose but I am always afraid I will break it completely off if I lean on it too hard. As far as the comfort level that is the only problem I have had with it. I guess should mention that I have had mine for 11 months now.

The sound is great and ads a unique feature to your gaming. The volume control is extremely easy as well as the bass and treble and all other controls. They are right on the side of the seat and after a few times using it you can master the controls without even looking. It comes with enough adaptors to do pretty much anything; you can use headphones, hook it up do anything possible and even split the wires (included) to hook up more than one sound producer. The only other drawback is the cords can be numerous, they could have attached the power cord to the X Rocker 2 but you have to plug it into the wall and to the chair itself. In my case it's hard to keep track of all the cords, I have little kids and I put the cords away when I'm done playing just for peace of mind. I guess that could be a positive too. So the sound is good and there is plenty of it to go round, I couldn't imagine turning this thing up past 3/4 volume. The bass is good and the other controls provide you with the ability to get the exact sound you want.

The set up is extremely easy, you basically take it out of the box, take the plastic off and screw in 4 screws for the arms. At this step I would recommend not tightening these screws really tight to avoid stripping. Set up took less than 10 minutes and it's good to go. The only other problem is, it's really heavy. You might want to get it where it's going in the box and then set it up. I made the mistake of putting it together upstairs then transporting it downstairs. It is really hard to move when it's set up. Get it where it's going in the box and do it there. Another reason is because the best way to carry it is by the arms and as you can tell the arms are not the best feature of the X Rocker 2.

Overall this has been a really good chair and I would recommend getting one. Like I said I don't have a lot to compare to but this chair has done everything I have asked it to do and more. Again, the pros are that it's comfortable, it looks great and it sounds great. The cons are that the arms are not real sturdy and it's extremely heavy and hard to move. Again, I would recommend the chair for any serious gamers or not so serious gamers
