X Rocker Torque 2.1 Gaming Chair

The X Rocker Torque pedestal gaming chair is a force to be reckoned with and is the perfect accompaniment for the console gamer. In fact, this multimedia chair isn’t just limited to gamers – this is a good fit for movie and music fans. Why is that? Well, in short, the chair has everything you could possibly want for full entertainment immersion. Not only are you dealing with an extremely comfortable chair with extra padding, sturdy (and padded) armrests, and pedestal suspension, the chair is also fitted with a 2.1 audio system – two speakers are mounted in the top sides of the chair and a proper sub woofer bass anchored in the back, which will drive quality sound right through your spine and out your chest. Playing through the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare single-player (again) while sat in the Torque delivers a whole new experience; the audio here is really quite good. A panel situated on the righthand side features a headphone jack and allows volume, vibration and bass to be controlled, and the audio connects easily via a receiver that you plug into the headphone jack on your TV. A compact gaming chair slung low to the ground, the X Rocker Torque is the complete package for the home entertainment enthusiast.

X Rocker Shadow 2.0 Rocker While we’ve dedicated most of this feature to talking about gaming chairs more suited for older gamers (although there’s nothing wrong with younger gamers using the aforementioned chairs), X Rocker have one catering specifically for the junior button mashers. This is a comfortable rocker that has a control panel to the right with volume for the two wired headrest speakers, and audio in and out jacks. The Shadow is covered in an easy to wipe clean PVC material for any inevitable drink and food accidents. The Shadow is foldable, too – a neat feature that will certainly appeal to homes where storage is an issue. Compatible with all consoles from the PS3 and Xbox 360 onwards, the Shadow is a solid performer across the board.
