This chair is perfect for watching movies or playing videogames (I use it for both very often). I love the built in speakers and they are compatible with EVERYthing you would need... The DVD player, the videogame system, the actual TV itself, and you can even hook up your mp3 player to it. The chair rocks but not enough to be annoying, just enough to give you something to do while sitting. The armrests are simple, but comfortable. There is a bass and volume control down on the bottom right of the chair. You honestly feel like you're at the movies when you sitting in this thing in the dark with the speakers on. If you are looking for an alternative to a generic couch or chair for when you spend time infront of the TV, the audio X rocker is definitley a great buy.
