Now let me just first say this. I do not often write reviews on products but I felt the need to put my input in about this chair because this chair gets a lot of bad reviews simply because people don't know what they are talking about. Also I won't be commenting on the comfortability of this chair because based on your weight, height, body build, etc, it will vary. I'm 5'8" and 230lbs and it works fine for me. That's all I will say. Anyways let's get on with it. This chair does not have an insane amount of bass to it. It does not rumble like some crazy, expensive subwoofer but it does I have enough bass to fill in any gaps in the sound where otherwise without the subwoofer it would just sound very tinny because the side speakers are basically all high end speakers. Which basically means they're all treble, no bass. The subwoofer does a good job at carrying the low end of the sound and it does sound good it's just not very loud but honestly after playing several different games with it, watching movies with it and listening to music with it it seemed to do just fine. NOW this next part is VERY important and goes hand in hand with the subwoofer. The vibration effect. The vibration effect is a very great way of tricking your brain, and body, into thinking that your subwoofer kicks major butt. The vibration on this chair IS really good and depending on what game you're playing or what movie you are watching it can get pretty insane/intense in a very good way. Now what I meant by the vibration can, "trick your brain into thinking you have a kick butt subwoofer," is that the vibration rumbles in all the right places like an expensive, loud, hard hitting subwoofer, when big impacts happen on your game/movie such as: a crash, a gunshot, an explosion, etc and it works really well in my opinion. When I first had my chair turned on I played the game Bulletstorm (PS4), which is FULL of loud, large guns and huge explosions, and I had the bass and vibration turned all the way up on my chair and it was so loud and rumbly. I thought it was the subwoofer doing all that but it ended up just being the vibration effect. So overall the vibration effect works extremely well and sounds great. Now for the chair overall with the two side speakers, the sub and the vibration. Overall I really ended up liking this chair. When I first put it together I hooked it up to my PS4 and I was not really impressed because the PS4 only allows external speakers, such as the chair, to get so loud and, to me, the PS4 just didn't allow it to get loud enough on the game that I first tested but shortly after I tested another game, Bulletstorm and Doom, and it was REALLY loud, PLENTY loud, and sounded REALLY great. The side speakers work so well. You can even hear the little 'ting' noise as bullet shells hit the ground and what not. I would like to talk about one more thing before I end this review. This chair CAN be EXTREMELY loud, like WAY loud, if you hook it up the right systems. Of course you have to be careful not to blow your speakers but I hooked this chair up to my PC and played some music and holy CRAP the PC pushed this chair to it's limits! It was honestly louder than my 5.1 Logitech Surround System. It was insane and I was very impressed haha. So overall I really do like this chair but I would only recommend getting it if it's under $200.00. I got mine for $170.00, $180.00 with tax and what not, and I think that's a decent price. With the subwoofer being a bit subpar per-se I would have rather bought it for about $120 or $130 but $170 wasn't too bad. I've seen this chair on here for $240 and that is just WAYYYY too much for this chair. So, again, overall I'd rate this chair 9 out of 10 simply because the subwoofer. If it had a SLIGHTLY bassier subwoofer then it would easily be 10 out of 10. But I do highly recommend this chair. It is a fantastic chair......For the right price.
