The X Rocker Pro H3: 3 Reasons You'll Love It

So, what's the big deal? Sure, it looks like a Cadillac seat. But, it's not just a big, cushy chair.

The Pro H3 is X Rocker's feature-rich, top-of-the line gaming chair, with 3 main features that make it worth while:

  1. Sound
  2. Vibration
  3. Wireless Connectivity

First I'll talk about those three main reasons people buy and love this chair for enhanced gaming. Then, I'll show you some more features and specs, a couple minor complaints from reviews, and show you where to buy it online.

1) Awesome Sound

Let's just start with the best thing first, instead of saving it for last.

The sound on this thing is simply awesome.

X Rocker Pro Headrest Speaker

Speakers at the top of the headrest by your ears

It boasts full 4.1 Surround Sound — which means 4 speakers (left & right, front & back) and 1 subwoofer for the deep bass that fills the room.

Speakers by your ears in the headrest, and on both sides of the seat ahead of you, combined with that subwoofer in your back gives you just about the best experience you can have without setting up a personal surround sound system yourself.

You won't be able to help but smile when you first get it set up and turn on your game.

Check the reviews online. Few can deny the quality of the sound experience when you sit and play in this amazing chair.

As a matter of fact, you don't even have to be sitting in the chair to appreciate the sound. It's loud enough to fill the room with the sounds of your game. (Apologize to your spouse or parents in advance.)

While the seat still puts you in the center of all the audio magic (the sounds in the game will be coming from all around you), everyone else in the room will also be able to experience the stereo surround sound, and booming bass.

2) Vibration

The X Control Panel on the side lets you conveniently adjust volume & vibration levels, and connect to headphones and other chairs.

Adding chair vibration the the mix completes the immersive experience.

I'm counting this separately, but it really goes hand-in-hand with the Sound benefit, above.

The vibrator sits in the lower portion of the seat back, near the subwoofer. It kicks in when certain sounds or actions in the game need to be “felt” more than heard.

So, when your character in the game gets hit or shot, or drives over a bump, or if there is an explosion in the game, a little shake in the seat adds a physical surprise element. A nice touch that adds a first-hand experience to a first-person shooter.

3) Wireless Connectivity

X Rocker Wireless Kit

A transmitter sends the audio directly to the wireless receiver built into the chair.

If you're one of those gamers that sees a cable from the gaming console to the chair as a string of ugly clutter — or just find cables to be a limiting inconvenience — you'll appreciate this feature.

The chair comes with a wireless transmitter that plugs into your console, and sends the audio signals wirelessly to a receiver built into the control panel.

This allows you to place the chair anywhere in the room, without having to worry about the length of the wire, or tripping over it.

Real World Reviews

Hundreds of reviews at all of the major online stores average out steadily at about 4.5 stars.

And, as I mentioned above, everybody raves about the sound.

Some of the other features, however, left a small handful of customers dissatisfied, and it was about the same few features: wireless connectivity, and comfort.

Despite these complaints, most users were able to find a solution to their problem:

Wireless Connectivity

Some users reported static in the sound when using the wireless connection. This will be a problem in homes with a lot of radio interference. Other users complained that the transmitter ran through batteries too fast.

Solutions:

  • Three channels on the wireless transmitter and receiver allow you to select one that has the best signal quality.
  • Some users had to revert to using the cables for the best sound quality.
  • Plugging an AC power source into the transmitter lets you keep it on without batteries.

Comfort

X Rocker Pro H3

Most larger customers (up to 6'2″ and 300 lb.) said the seat was large enough to support them, but some complained that the comfort was short lived.

The padding wore down for them after some months of use, revealing a hard support in the front of the chair that pressed against their legs.

The armrests are supposed to be an added feature to support your arms for comfort. On this chair, however, they are not adjustable, so they don't fit every user. They can also come slightly loose with wear. (They are not designed to be used to lift or move the chair.)

Solutions:

  • Some customers added their own pillow to make up for the discomfort.
  • Taller customers might prefer a pedestal gaming chair so they can stretch their legs.
  • Some taller and wider customers decided to remove the armrests for optimal comfort.

Other Features & Specifications

Other features people like about the chairs are it's ability to connect to other chairs or headphones, and its foldability.

Connection to Other Chairs — The chair has a set of audio output ports that allow it to pass sound through to an additional chair. This allows two (or more) gamers to connect to the same gaming console to enjoy the same sound at the same time.

Headphones — A headphones jack in the control panel allows private listening and gameplay without disturbing others in the room.

Folding — allows you to put the chair away conveniently to make space in the room.

Here are a list of specs from the manufacturer's website:

Material: vinyl
Arms: fixed
Number of Speakers: four speakers (on each side of head-rest and on each side of the seat) and one sub-woofer (on the back)
Wireless Capable: Yes
Vibration: Yes
Bass: Yes
Headphone Jack: Yes
MP3 Jack: Yes
USB Port: No
Weight Capacity: 275 lbs

Where to Buy the X Rocker Pro H3

Most people's first inclination to buy online is Amazon (Click here to buy it on Amazon), but Amazon doesn't always have the cheapest price, or the best selection.

Pricing tends to be seasonal. When I first started researching prices for this review, Hayneedle.com had the best price ($172.24), but they ran out of stock at that price quickly.

At the time of this writing, the best place to buy the X Rocker Pro H3 — based on price, customer service, selection, and availability — is Wayfair.com*.

But, be careful when shopping based on price.

X Rocker Pro H3 Control Panel

Be sure you see a speaker in the seat next to the control panel. If not, you have the inferior 2.1 stereo version, not the one with full 4.1 surround sound.

When you see a cheaper price, be sure that you're not looking at the Pro H3's inferior twin — the one with 2.1 stereo sound.

That chair only has speakers in the headrest, and not on the side of the seat, giving you regular stereo instead of the 4.1 Surround Sound.

Additionally, some lesser known retailers online will advertise significantly cheaper prices than the range I've posted above — but, with a twist.

These shops will tack on high shipping rates AFTER you get to their checkout page, bringing the price to well above what major retailers will sell for including shipping (which they often offer for free).

Conclusion

The exceptional sound and vibration provide for a highly enhanced gaming experience — exactly what you want from this chair. Only a few customers had trouble with the wireless connectivity and seat comfort, and those problems were minor and resolvable.

    If I was still that crazy college gamer I used to be, I would definitely look into this one. I’ll definitely recommend to some friends.

    • X Rocker Scott

      Hah! Funny, Sara. Don’t have to be crazy or in college to enjoy the chair. Just a gamer. 😉
      Thanks for stopping by.

  2. Fred

    Man, I’ve been on this site for some time now, and all I can say is OMG.

    I can’t believe how sophisticated all of this gaming equipment is!

    This site is a definite bookmark and I’ll be more than happy to send people your way!

    • X Rocker Scott

      Thanks, Fred.
      Yeah, that’s how I felt when I first started getting into it. But, as the games themselves get more sophisticated, the more the peripherals do.
      Get ready to someday give up your chair for your virtual reality suit! 😉
      Glad you like the site. Thanks for stopping by.

    That sounds like an pretty amazing chair for the price range. I wonder if the padding issue may be caused by them making it foldable and portable. You’ve given some good and unbiased information, which I was having a difficult time finding. It just may be the thing for my nephew’s birthday. Thanks for making my decision easier to make. Have you checked out any other chairs?

    • X Rocker Scott

      The padding issue seems to be relative to how rough people are with the chair, and how heavy they are. The more consistently weight and pressure is applied, the more it gets mashed down. I’m going to post a video to make it clearer as soon as I can.

      I’m still checking out numerous other chairs, and will be posting a comparison chart, and reviews. Please stop by again when you get a chance. I’ll be sure to have more information up weekly.

    • X Rocker Scott

      If you have a gamer in your life that doesn’t already have a chair like this, it really is a great gift. The way it enhances your gaming is really worth it. 🙂

  5. Luis

    Gaming chairs have really come a long way! I’m definitely going to forward this to a friend of mine who’s in the market for one. Your review is excellent and I like how you already addressed the main concerns people have regarding the product. It saves us all a great deal of trouble looking up good info.
    Cheers!

    • X Rocker Scott

      Thanks, Luis.
      I tried hard to make this site the one stop before you hop to shop.
      Thanks for stopping by, and please ask your friend to do the same, and leave a comment to let me know his or her thoughts!

  6. Peggy Menke

    Hello, Scott. My husband went wild when he saw this. Now, he wants one for Christmas. I told him it would be Christmas & a few birthdays. Thanks!

    • X Rocker Scott

      Hah! Yes, Peggy. These chairs bring out the kid in all of us.
      Please ask your husband to leave his opinion about the chair on this site after Santa drops off his gift.
      Thanks for your comment. Merry Christmas, and Happy Birthdays!

  7. Evelyn

    This X Rocker is for some serious gamer. I’m kind of curious if my son with autism will like it. Sometimes I buy him a game I think he like and doesn’t. Maybe I should take him and he can test drive it to see if he likes it. It’s actually pretty cool and looks like a lot of fun. Thanks!

    • X Rocker Scott

      You’re welcome, Evelyn.
      If sounds turn your son on they way they do my cousin (who is also autistic), he may just like the chair.
      I’m sure you’ll be able to find one in one of the larger retail stores for a “test drive”. If not, some of the major retailers will also allow you to return the chair.
      Let me know how it works out if you do pick one up.
      Cheers,
      ~ Scott

  8. Carla Ives

    This chair looks like a Cadillac! I’m toying with the idea of getting my 21-year-old son one of these for a holiday gift. This one really looks impressive!!! Thanks for the objective review.

    • X Rocker Scott

      It sure is a big, cushy, lush looking thing, isn’t it? It’s one of the most in-demand of these gaming chairs. As I said, the sound is awesome. I just wish my own car had a similar sound system. Maybe I’ll have to buy a Cadillac! 😉
      Thanks, Carla.

  9. Misha

    How si this chair in the using for PC gaming? It seems very low, and I doubt it will work as nice ontop of a box or so

    • X Rocker Scott

      Hi, Misha.
      Yes, this chair is really designed for sitting on a floor in front of a large TV monitor for gaming. If your PC monitor is sitting high up on a desk, you might have a harder time seeing it from sitting on the floor. Unless you bring the monitor closer to the edge of the desk. While you could put the chair a little higher on a box or a platform, it would have to be a wide, secure, and sturdy one. Otherwise that would be a bit dangerous. I wouldn’t recommend just putting the chair up on a box for height. Might be better to buy a chair with a built-in pedestal. See my post about making your chair more comfortable for your set up.
