Thu, 25 Jan 2007 22:08:59 +0000 http://podophile.com/2006/09/01/irocker-the-ipod-chair/#comment-2378 I have the iRocker 250 and was quite disappointed with the quality of the speakers. They sound really cheesy, like a cheap CD player with the bass jacked all the way up. Things sound muddy and would be painful for anyone used to iPod earbud quality sound. I bought this primarily as a video game chair, and again, all the sound effects and especially voices sound like they are coming through a door. I guess the worst thing about this product is the fact that every time you start a new track on your iPod-or cut to any new scene in a video game, there is a delay before the chair registers the sound. That is to say, for 3 seconds, you hear nothing (or if you run the chair in-line with you home stereo like me-you only here the tv/stereo for those three seconds) until the chair finally registers what is happening. Quite exasperating. I have tried other chair and this is not a factor. Once again, for the substantial price tag, very, very disappointed.
