We purchased the X Rocker 51396 Pro Series Pedestal 2.1 Gaming Chair so that our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and review it. Read on for our full product review.

Imagine being able to enjoy all the benefits of a movie theater while crushing video game villains in the comfort of your own home. Now you can, with the X Rocker 51396 Pro Series Pedestal. We put one unit to the test to see how it stacked up against the competition, evaluating setup, build time, gameplay, Bluetooth capabilities, and overall comfort. Here’s what we found out.

Fully assembled, the X Rocker 51396 is a sleek and luxurious modern take on the classic rocker. An evolution of previous designs, it adds a pedestal beneath the unit, raising the seat and adding the ability to tilt and swivel while comfortably gliding across the leatherette exterior.

If space is an issue, the chair folds comfortably in half for easy storage. Sitting in the X Rocker 51396 is like sitting in a state-of-the-art movie theater seat with all the bells and whistles that come with it. When paired with a Bluetooth device, this chair not only lets you hear the impact of your gameplay, but also feel it. You can also turn on the vibration for a gentle massage. The only downside to this model is the way it is powered. Since there is no internal battery, the chair must be left plugged in for optimal performance. When purchasing this model, be sure to bring an extension cord or be prepared to place the chair near an outlet if you want to hear and feel the sound.
