In a Nutshell:
The X Rocker 51259 Pro H3 is a stylish choice for hardcore gamers that also offers some pretty intense audio for your games. It loses points for being a chair that sits on the floor without a stand, but it has plenty of support for those who suffer from lower-back pain.

Recommended For: Hardcore gamers who need support for lower back pain.
Gaming has grown far beyond a niche hobby. Many people in today’s world play video games in some form or fashion, and many others have made careers out of it. However, this type of hobby comes with a lot of sitting, which can lead to lower-back pain.
Then again, even if you’re not a gamer, many of us spend time binge-watching Netflix or our favorite movies, which involves a lot of sitting as well. So, it’s just as important to keep our spine and lower back supported to avoid long-term injuries. It also wouldn’t hurt if the chair enhanced our entertainment experience as well.
Good thing, the X Rocker Gaming Chair combines support with tech to create a chair that ticks all of these boxes, but is it the right chair for your living room? Join us as we dive deep into everything it offers to find out!
X Rocker 51529 Pro Audio Gaming Chair Overview
The X Rocker brand of gaming chairs combines technology and furniture design into some truly impressive products and design. Their chairs feature Audio Force Modulation (AFM) technology, which utilizes both speakers and a subwoofer to enhance the sound quality.
This allows you to feel the vibrations of the bass all around you while you’re gaming or watching a movie. It adds an extra level of immersion that no standard chair can boast. The combination of both premium quality sound and comfort is what makes the X Rocker line of chairs stand out from others.
The X Rocker Pro Gaming Chair also connects to most devices via an RCA cable or Bluetooth, so it’s easy to implement your favorite entertainment into your seating.

Pros and Cons of X Rocker Pro H3 Audio Gaming Chairs
A chair like this one is perfect for gamers, but it’s not for everyone. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons here in our X Rocker 51259 Pro H3 4.1 review:
PROS
CONS
The amount of technology packed into the X Rocker 51259 Pro H3 4.1 Audio Gaming Chair Wireless should make any gamer giddy. The Bluetooth functionality, speakers, subwoofer, and side panel make it very easy to bring another level of immersion to your games.
The ergonomic design with a high back and headrest also offers a comfortable place for those who suffer from lower-back pain. Whether you use this chair for gaming, movies, or simply listening to music, it will connect to most devices without any issues.
The rocker design is interesting, but without any kind of stand to sit on, the chair must be placed on the floor or another stable surface. This isn’t ideal for someone who has a television on a stand or mounted on the wall.
Depending on your living room setup, this could be a major factor. While it looks great from a distance, we were also somewhat disappointed to see vinyl used for the upholstery, instead of leather or PU leather, which are more luxurious and durable. For the price point, we expected this kind of detail.
Final Verdict: X Rocker 51259 Pro H3 4.1 Review
Our X Rocker 51259 Pro H3 4.1 review is meant to leave you with mixed impressions. On the one hand, this chair packs a ton of technology into a single piece of furniture, which is great. It also offers some nice ergonomic design, which is good for those with lower-back pain.
It loses points for having less than ideal materials for durability, and its placement on the floor isn’t doable for many living room setups. Even so, if you’re a gamer and the chair’s placement meets your needs, we recommend checking this one out!
