Best X Rocker Gaming Chair 2022
The OG of gaming chair makers - Is there still a place to sit at the table for X Rocker these days?
X rocker has been a well-known name in the world of gaming chairs for a long time now. It continues to be the adolescent fever dream of teenagers worldwide as they tirelessly search for more exotic ways to waste their parent’s money.
That might have sounded needlessly harsh, but to be fair to X rocker, the chairs on offer cover a far higher number of categories than other brands like noblechairs and Secretlab.
Additionally, X Rocker has increased its range of products over the last few years to include gaming desks, gaming beds, and other gaming-focused furniture. From this, we can see the oncoming onslaught of gamification of household items and other such homewares, but we digress. We are here to cover the best X Rocker gaming chairs available, so let’s take a closer look at what X Rocker has to offer and see just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

In-depth Review
X Rocker 51396 Pedestal Gaming Chair
X Rocker 51396 Pedestal Gaming Chair
The X Rocker 51386 is a top pick for many gaming chair enthusiasts, thanks to its rich feature set and comfort.
First and foremost, let’s talk about what sets it apart from most: the pedestal. Larger or taller gamers may not like getting into chairs that are basically right on the floor, and the pedestal design makes this chair much more comfortable to ease into for most people.
Additionally, it stops people from needing to have their feet directly on the floor and bending their knees, which can be uncomfortable for some.
The second thing that sets it apart is that it supports wireless audio. This wireless audio is compatible with all current-gen consoles, and for older devices, it also has all the hardwiring you need to ensure your chair is compatible.
Thanks to the added convenience and comfort features, this X Rocker Pedestal Chair is one of our top picks for the best console gaming chair.
However, it does come with one very key downside: the price.
At a whopping $150 (or more, depending on the price fluctuations when you read this), it’s definitely one of the most expensive options out there.
If you can afford the price, though, this is one of the best options you can go for.
X Rocker 5143601 II Gaming Chair
X Rocker 5143601 II Gaming Chair
The X Rocker Gaming Chair typically retails in the $150-$200 range and offers a pretty solid console gaming chair experience while doing so.
At first glance, this may look like any other gaming chair you’ve used. Where it starts to set itself apart, however, is with wireless gaming audio capabilities, allowing you to quickly and easily set up your audio with any modern gaming console.
In addition to wireless audio, it offers wired compatibility, too, just in case your sound setup or last-gen consoles aren’t compatible with its wireless audio technologies.
Judging from most of the reviews, the chair seems to offer a high level of comfort and is built with quality materials. A complaint among wider gamers is the armrests, but those can be pretty easily removed if need be.
For a fair, solid console gaming chair experience, this X Rocker Gaming Chair is one of our top picks. It is overshadowed, however, by its bigger brother.
Ace Bayou X Rocker II SE 2.1
Ace Bayou X Rocker II SE 2.1
X Rockers are well known in the Xbox and Playstation sphere and offer great comfort with built-in speakers and controls making them a very attractive option for more than just gaming.
This leather lounging chair rocks on its frame and is great for gaming, watching TV, reading, or even just chilling. The plush leather and inviting shape are very comfortable, making this great for long game sessions or films. The headrest protrudes from the backrest giving you some built-in neck support and the ergonomic shape makes this comfy for many different body types.
This may be rather plain in design but I think the understated look is always smart when working with leather. The chair provides a great immersive alternative to TV audio playback, with two speakers in the headrest and a 4” subwoofer pounding your back.
While they say this is compatible with most consoles you may need to grab an HDMI audio extractor v1.4 to use this with your Xbox It works fine with the PS4 and older consoles though and when sat at such a low price, this is a small compromise.

Final Word
As I alluded to at the beginning of this article I have a bit of a soft spot for X Rocker chairs, but I have to concede defeat when it comes to recommending them for out and out PC gaming. They just don’t lend themselves to keyboard and mouse positioning, and in the main, you are going to end up hurting yourself if you persevere i the long run. Where they excel however is for gaming on consoles or watching movies in your room. They are wonderfully comfortable, often come with speakers built-in and they just feel like a tank in terms of construction. They really are heavy, be warned.
If there’s a place for an X Rocker in your life, any of the models here will do you round. Just don’t expect it to suit all occasions. They aren’t really adjustable in any meaningful way so you really need to consider whether they are suitable for your needs.
