looking for ideas for kids xmas presents (early planning for once!), they love the xbox one and are currently sat on beanbags while playing, so i reckon a couple of nice wireless gaming chairs would go down well (and i would benefit when playing forza!), does anyone have any recommendations for some wireless chairs that are pretty decent?

We had the same conversation as you a year ago - son on a beanbag but looked uncomfortable!

Looked at loads & ended up with the X-Rocker Playstation branded one (black & gold). It's a 2.1 sound system & is wireless (apart from the power!). Easy to set up - took a couple of minutes & our son absolutely loves it.

Decided to get the floor one rather than a chair one as it just looks more comfortable for console gaming. Chair one probably more suited for PC gaming at a desk.

IIRC they also do an X-Box branded one (they come with all the bits you need so you don't have to buy a separate transmitter).

Definitely a gift which has been enjoyed - go for it.

My friend made his son a 2 person gaming chair out of the rear seat of an old Jag. The recipient loves it and it looks cool as fk.

I'd stay away from Noble Chairs, I bought their Epic chair a few months ago and the backrest doesn't align correctly with the base. The result is you either sit with your lower body twisted slightly to one side, or your head. Their customer support has been pretty lousy, no reply after several emails, eventually got a response on their Facebook page. They acknowledged that it was a known issue and said a fix was 1 to 3 months away and would be FOC. Now it's like getting blood out of a stone to get a response and they're suggesting that there may not be a fix at all.
