You're better off spending the money on a cheap pair of decent headphones to plug into your game controller, or a budget soundbar , which will improve your TV's sound outside of games, too, and won't add ugly clutter to your living room.
We're not covering that type in this guide. We considered gaming chairs both with and without speakers or electronic features. Nearly every console gaming chair with built-in speakers comes from a single company: X Rocker.
We read dozens of reviews of each chair when available , looking for details about comfort, durability, and connectivity. We avoided models that had looks with niche appeal. We considered the following features, in descending order of importance:. Our research turned up 28 models of X Rocker pedestal chairs and floor rockers that might fit our requirements. From there, we narrowed the group down to six X Rocker models: two pedestal chairs and four floor rockers. We tested a total of 10 living room gaming chairs in We unboxed and set up all 10 chairs, and connected the X Rocker models' speakers to our game consoles' audio ports.
We played games, worked on laptops, or watched television. Some chairs were immediately uncomfortable, and others had thin cushioning or padding that compressed too much within an hour; we eliminated those.
The BirdRock Home Adjustable Position Memory Foam Floor and Gaming Chair is the best one we tested because it doesn't try to offer immersive audio or fancy features; it's just a good floor chair.
The BirdRock Home is more comfortable, less expensive, more portable, and less ostentatious than chairs with built-in audio. It was the most comfortable to sit on during our multi-hour gaming sessions, for people short and tall, small and large.
Its microfiber cover is somewhat liquid repellent, you can spot-clean it, and you can get under the cover by unzipping the back and reaching inside. The chair's design puts you closer to a living room TV than a couch while avoiding back and neck strain.
On our thicker rugs and carpets, it felt like sitting on a plush armchair missing its legs. On thin rugs and hardwood floors, using the BirdRock Home was still a lot better than cobbling together a makeshift chair out of couch pillows.
The BirdRock Home lacks neck support, but its back remains firmly in place once snapped into position, so you can get long gaming sessions in once you get the right angle. We came to prefer the lack of neck support—larger rockers with prominent headrests, such as X Rocker models and , felt uncomfortable for testers whose torso heights meant the headrests didn't line up correctly.
When flat, the BirdRock Home chair is 21 inches wide, 42 inches from head to toe, and about 6 inches thick; it weighs 10 pounds. The back section of the BirdRock Home clicks into 14 different positions, so it can lean way back for viewing a TV or projection screen mounted higher than the typical stand-mounted TV.
Microfiber resists water, so spills are a bit easier to pick up before they soak in. This chair has held up well in our testing, and it garners positive reviews from Amazon customers.
Wirecutter lead editor Kimber Streams, their partner, and their cats are all big fans of the BirdRock after using it for 20 to 30 hours a week over several months. For one thing, it has no neon logos or color accents, it has no lights, and it's available in a variety of colors as of this writing. On hardwood floors, it was still comfortable but for less time, as we could more easily feel the floor through the compacted foam, especially when shifting around.
The whole chair is covered in microfiber, including the back and bottom. Nylon backing, like on the back and bottom of the Merax 5-Position Floor Chair, would have been a better choice. While you can unzip the cover and reach inside to better get at stains, you cannot take the whole cover off for washing.
The ratcheting adjustment for the BirdRock Home chair means that if you go beyond the angle you prefer, or want to lower the angle at a later time, you have to pull the chair fully upright, release it back to fully flat, and then raise the chair again. You may want to have a pillow handy for your ankles, if keeping your legs propped up at an angle causes strain. The Surge is a large rocking floor chair that is meant to hook up to your television and project sound out of installed speakers near your head.
We think that gaming chairs with built-in audio are unnecessary anyway, because most modern game controllers and handheld systems have headphone ports, and because it's never been easier or cheaper to get a good soundbar for your TV. We see you, console gamer, we know your needs are different than your PC gaming brethren.
