The Best Gaming Chairs with Bluetooth Speakers

On the spec sheet, it reclines to 135°. A retractable footrest adds a place to rest between matches. The backrest reclines from 90 to 135 degrees, and a two-motor lumbar pillow provides massage.

The LED strips can be dimmed or switched off from the remote. Its metal legs replace a plastic base, which adds stability. Its speakers pair with a phone or PC over Bluetooth.

Leave room behind the desk: the budget speaker chair's footrest needs clear floor space when extended and reclined. It was the cheapest of the group when we checked; the X Rocker Pixel was the next step up. The main gap: recline angle of 135°, behind the GTPLAYER ACE-PRO (150°). If that matters, the GTPLAYER ACE-PRO reclines to 150°.

It has a 300 lb capacity. Two headrest speakers put sound close to your ears, and it connects to consoles over Bluetooth or a wire. The floor-rocker design reclines, so it suits couch-style console play rather than a desk.

Its vegan leather seat is padded for long sessions, and it folds flat for storage. It connects to PS5 and Xbox over Bluetooth or a cable. The printed pattern may vary between batches.

It works with PS5, Xbox and Switch. Open, it measures 33 x 26 x 17 inches. Depending on your TV's outputs, an extra digital audio transmitter may be needed, sold separately. It was priced above the budget speaker chair and below the IRONSTONE speaker chair at the time of writing.

Built-in Bluetooth speakers and adjustable RGB lighting sit in a high-back frame with an adjustable headrest. The lumbar cushion vibrates. RGB effects can be customised to match other gear, and the speakers pair over Bluetooth.

The high back supports the shoulders and neck, and the headrest adjusts to fit. The vibrating lumbar cushion helps on long sessions. It suits a gaming room where the chair doubles as a speaker spot, and the lighting sets the mood.

Check the seat height against your desk before buying. It also offers an SGS-tested gas lift. When we checked, only the X Rocker Pixel and cheaper picks cost less, and the GTPLAYER BT 5.3 chair cost more. If you want a confirmed recline angle, look to the GTPLAYER ACE-PRO instead: it reclines to 150°, while this one gives no figure.

Two Bluetooth 5.3 speakers sit on the sides of the backrest and connect to a PC or phone. The high back follows the spine's curve. Bluetooth 5.3 gives a stable connection to a PC or phone at a short distance.

The high backrest follows the spine's curve and supports the neck. It suits a desk that doubles as a music or film spot. The speakers sit on either side of the backrest, close to the ears, and pair with a PC or phone.

The ergonomic back aims to keep posture upright during long sessions. On price it sat fourth of 5, between the cheaper IRONSTONE speaker chair and the pricier GTPLAYER ACE-PRO, at the time of writing.

It also reclines to 150°. Bluetooth speakers built into the chair turn on from a button, and a side pocket keeps the remote close. The backrest follows the S-curve of the spine with memory foam that adapts to your back.

The metal frame and quiet PU casters support up to 300 lbs, and assembly takes about 25 minutes with the tools included. It makes the most sense for buyers for whom price is not the deciding factor, since the budget speaker chair costs less, since it offers built-in speakers with app support and Bluetooth control at the highest price in the group. It was the most expensive pick when we checked, so weigh what it adds over the GTPLAYER BT 5.3 chair.
