Product Reviews of HoMedics iCush-100 Immersive Audio Sync Massage Seat
Product Review: Audio Massage Magic
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this product as a gift from my 14 year old daughter-- she saw it somewhere and asked for it. She loves the fact that the massage areas can be synchronized to whatever music she's listening to on her iPod (or from iTunes). The product appears to be fairly well made, and is fun to use.Product Review: Chirstmas presents

I got this chair for my brothers for christmas since they play football games and halo. They love it. Especially when they get to feel the action in the game.Product Review: Dissappointing for music
Summary: 2 Stars
I had experienced a similar product overseas (though the vibration was built into a recliner), and was hoping this would be up to that standard. When I had used that product, I found myself transported. Anyone who has played in a band, or I guess been really close to the stage, has felt the bass shoot through them. The chair i tried before reproduced this feeling, in addition to being really comfortable and relaxing. The HoMedics seat cover is comfortable but there were 2 serious problems, one unique to this individual product and one major one:
1) one of the speakers was blown, so it produced a hissing which was annoying. this leads me to question overall quality control.
2)much more important, it was very difficult to distinguish what the chair was vibrating in response to. For example, listening to music that starts quiet before the band comes in, the chair would not vibrate at all. Then, when the music was loud, there would be pulsing, but there seemed to be hardly any correspondence to the beat of the song. Solo piano recordings (Keith Jarrett) revealed a constant humming of the vibrating chair, again, no distinguishable beat, with the added annoyance that the music was somwhat drowned out by the humming of the chair.
overall, the seat cover is comfortable and the low-volume sound is good without the vibration. But the reason I bought the product was the sync between vibration and sound, and this was a completely useless. I am returning it because of the blown speaker, but won't be requesting replacement.
Product Review: Great for X-Box
Summary: 5 Stars
The only complaint I have about this is that I wish I didn't have to deal with the cord getting caught in the wheels of the office chair I sit in when playing my X-Box. Otherwise it is excellent. Really enhances the gaming experience anywhere where the vibrating controller is a plus. I highly reccommend for sports, war and driving games. Puts you in the middle of the action. I am not a big I-pod user so I have only tried it with my wifes a couple of times. It works and I think would be pretty cool for just sitting in the chair and zoning out to music but the fact that you normally use your I-pod on the go makes me think the gaming link is the biggest reason to buy.Product Review: HoMedics iCush-100 Immersive Audio Sync Massage Seat

This is an ok product. Not thrilled though. The massaging part is not a massage at all but a violent vibration. Wouldnt waste my money on it.
