The Best RGB Gaming Chairs

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 cost the least of the 5 picks at the time of writing, with the IRONSTONE speaker chair the next step up.

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. You get a vibration lumbar cushion lumbar support here, which sets it apart from the RGB speaker chair and its a massage pillow lumbar support. You also get an SGS-tested gas lift. On price it sat second of 5, between the cheaper budget speaker chair and the pricier IRONSTONE massage speaker chair, at the time of writing.

Its vibration massage covers the seat, backrest and lumbar area, and Bluetooth speakers and RGB lighting are built in. It suits a relaxed console setup. The speakers pair over Bluetooth, and RGB lighting runs along the frame.

The multi-zone vibration targets the seat, back and lumbar area rather than a single pillow. The RGB lighting and speakers make it a centrepiece for a console setup. Its massage zones can be used between matches.

When we checked, only the IRONSTONE speaker chair and cheaper picks cost less, and the RGB speaker chair cost more. If you want a confirmed recline angle, look to the budget speaker chair instead: it reclines to 135°, while this one gives no figure.

It also reclines to 135°. Two Bluetooth speakers pair with phones and laptops. RGB lighting changes mode and brightness by remote, and two motors in the lumbar pillow provide massage.

It is rated for 397 lbs, and the 3-class gas lift gives 10cm of height adjustment with a 360-degree swivel. A retractable footrest is included, and a computer without Bluetooth needs a USB adapter for the speakers. A massage pillow lumbar support is unique to it among these picks, while the IRONSTONE massage speaker chair uses a vibration massage lumbar support. The RGB speaker chair's lumbar support is a strap-on pillow, so position it by hand rather than with a dial.

Its dual Bluetooth 5.1 speakers sit in the backrest, and the RGB modes and brightness can be customised. A flexible headrest and lumbar pillow add support. It also comes with a retractable padded footrest.

Leave room behind the desk: the GTP-800's footrest needs clear floor space when extended and reclined. It was the highest-priced of the 5 picks at the time of writing, so the case for it rests on what it adds over the RGB speaker chair and the rest. The maker doesn't give its recline angle; if that figure matters, the budget speaker chair reclines to 135°.
