Gaming chairs are comfortable and supportive pieces of furniture that make your playing experience much more enjoyable, and many of them even come with built-in speakers. When properly hooked up to your console, these will output your game's audio all around your body, helping you to feel more immersed in the experience. There are a ton of gaming chairs with speakers available out there, but overall, we feel that the X Rocker Pro Series H3 is the best one due to its top-of-the-line audio hardware, cool vibration motors, and extremely comfortable design.

Awesome vibration motors

The X Rocker Pro Series H3 is our pick for the definitive best gaming chair with speakers, and it's clear why that's the case when you look at everything it comes with.

Thanks to the four onboard speakers and the beefy subwoofer, the sound quality of the chair is incredible. In addition, the chair is equipped with vibration motors that will activate in sync with the music and sound effects from the game you're playing.

When it comes to comfort and support, the chair is fitted with thick leather cushions that are super pleasant to sit on, allowing you to game for hours without experiencing any soreness. In terms of compatibility, the chair works with every gaming console on the market, giving it great flexibility, though it notably doesn't work with Bluetooth devices. The weight capacity is awesome, too, coming in at 275 pounds. This chair may be expensive, but it's worth every cent if you want a premium experience.

Awesome alternative option

Reasons to buy

+
Good sound experience
+
Awesome vibration motors
+
Compatible with Bluetooth devices and gaming systems
+
Great weight capacity

Reasons to avoid

-
Only two speakers
-
Fabric cushions

The Ace Bayou X Rocker Vibe is the best choice if you want something that's compatible with Bluetooth devices. It only has two speakers compared to the X Rocker Pro Series H3's four. However, it does still have an awesome subwoofer and some sweet vibration motors, meaning it still provides an enjoyable and immersive experience to the user.

The cushions are made out of fabric instead of leather and are a little bit thinner than the X Rocker Pro Series H3's, which makes the Ace Bayou X Rocker Vibe a litle less comfortable. However, it's still enjoyable to use. The chair will work with all gaming systems as well as Bluetooth devices, and also has a lovely weight capacity of 275 pounds.

Best Armless: X Rocker Surge

Armrests are overrated, anyway

Reasons to buy

+
Good sound experience
+
Awesome vibration motors
+
Cushioned made with faux leather
+
Compatible with Bluetooth devices and gaming systems
+
Great weight capacity

Reasons to avoid

-
More expensive than armrest version

If you want a quality gaming chair equipped with speakers, but you're not the biggest fan of armrests, than the X Rocker Surge is an optimal choice. It's identical to the Ace Bayou X Rocker Vibe with one notable difference: the cushions are made out of bonded leather instead of fabric, meaning that the chair will be a little firmer. Whether or not that's a pro or con is up to personal preference. Aside from that (and the lack of armrests), it's the same chair.

If you want something that comes with a base for increased stability, the best option available for you is the X Rocker Pro Series 2.1. It's virtually identical to the X Rocker Pro Series H3, except it only has two speakers instead of four. This chair will ultimately be your best bet if you don't mind trading some sound quality and Bluetooth connectivity for a more stable sitting experience.

X Rocker Dual Commander

For you and your gaming buddy

+
Good sound experience
+
Great comfort
+
Compatible with all gaming systems
+
Dual seats can fit two
+
More affordable

Reasons to avoid

-
No vibration motors
-
Low weight capacity
-
No Bluetooth connectivity

The X Rocker Dual Commander is ideal for people who have a player two to enjoy games with. Like many of the seats on this list, it's got two speakers and a powerful subwoofer for good sound deliverance, and the faux leather cushioning is firm and comfortable. It's not real leather, but the comfort level isn't too far off.

Sadly, there are no vibration motors on the chair, but that might not matter to you depending on what you (and your partner) prefer while playing. The weight capacity of the chair is unfortunately only 275 pounds, though, which only is ideal for when one person is playing.

Ace Bayou X Rocker 2.1

Solid quality for a solid price

Reasons to buy

+
Good sound experience
+
Good comfort
+
Compatible with all gaming systems
+
More affordable
+
Great weight capacity

Reasons to avoid

-
No vibration motors
-
No Bluetooth connectivity
-
Cushion material is lower quality

This option is perfect for folks who want or need to save some funds and are okay with settling for a solid chair instead of an above-average one. It's got two speakers and a subwoofer for satosfying sound, but lacks vibration motors. In addition, it has a meshy fabric for the cushions that isn't as supportive or comfortable as the leather or denser fabric cushions other chairs out there are fitted with. However, the chair is still solidly comfy overall, and the fact it's more affordable will be a huge benefit to some folks. Like the other chairs, it works with all gaming systems (but not Bluetooth) and can hold 275 pounds.

Best Budget: X Rocker Extreme III 2.0

X Rocker Extreme III 2.0

The basics aren't bad

Reasons to buy

+
Servicable comfort
+
Extremely affordable
+
Great weight capacity

Reasons to avoid

-
Weakest sound experience
-
Cushions are thin
-
No features beyond speakers
-
No Bluetooth connectivity

If the most important thing to you is saving money, than the X Rocker Extreme III 2.0 is your best bet. Out of all the chairs on the list, it delivers the weakest sound experience since it only has two speakers and no subwoofer. On top of that, it lacks vibration motors and Bluetooth connectivity. Also, the fabric cushions are thinner than the other chairs, meaning that this chair is the least comfortable on the list, albeit still enjoyable to use.

Despite all this, this seat is the most affordable one worth looking at, and it's fully compatible with all gaming consoles too. The weight capacity, like every other seat on this list, is 275 pounds. Ultimately, this chair is for folks who have a tight budget or only want the bare minimum.

Bottom line

Gaming chairs serve to make your playing experience better than ever, and when they come with speakers, they do that even more than usual. Speakers on a chair can help you get fully immersed in your game by essentially "bathing" you in its audio, which is quite awesome to experience. A feature like this means you'll end up laying down some cash, but there are reasonably-priced chairs out there, along with the more expensive ones.

There are a ton of different options out there when it comes to gaming chairs that have speakers, but we think that at the end of the day, nothing tops the X Rocker Pro Series H3. Between its incredible sound system, cool vibration motors, and the immense comfort it offers, we think it's definitively the best option on the market.
