Amazon.com Product Description
Part of the HoMedics iMassage line of products, the HoMedics iCush-100 Immersive Audio Sync Massage Seat is the first portable cushion that synchronizes sound directly with massage to allow users to feel the beat of the music or movie.
 With built-in adjustable speakers, the HoMedics iCush-100 is a great way to relax at the office. |
 This massager allows you to "feel" all the action of your favorite video games with the Audio Sync function. |
 Sit down, plug in, and massage away sore muscles as you listen to music or watch movies. |
Just plug your iPod or MP3 player right into the iCush, or use the included adapter to connect the massager directly to your TV, Xbox, PlayStation, or similar gaming console. No matter how you link up, the iCush puts you right in the middle of the action. This massager even features built-in dual speakers, so you don't have to wear headphones or rely on your home entertainment system alone. And forget about simply seeing and hearing, now you can feel all your favorite multimedia entertainment in the form of relaxing massage. Games really come to life as the dual, adjustable aluminum cone speakers surround you with sound. Use it with your TV, and watching sports and movies will never be the same. iCush works great with music, too. Whether it's pop, rock, hip hop, or anything else, just turn it on and get ready for an entirely new listening experience. You'll feel every explosion, experience every tackle, and sense every beat of your favorite tunes. Just push the Audio Sync button on the wired remote, and vibes pulse to the rhythms of the sounds.
iCush features three preset programs -- all motors, up and down, or random -- so you can choose how the vibes move when you just want to get the benefits of a solid, relaxing massage. And when you're ready for excitement, just link Audio Sync to the programs for an even wilder ride. The seat also features adjustable intensity, speed, personalized body zones, and volume control. You can even choose audio synched to massage vibes, audio only, massage vibes only, or audio and massage settings. No matter what you desire, the power to customize your entertainment and relaxation rests in your hands. And since the seat is portable, you can take the iCush with you no matter where you wander. The built-in carry handle and storage pouches make transport simple, so you can easily take your iCush to a friend's house and share the Audio Sync experience.

Come on, get haptic...
Cool product; very easy to hook up and get started. Good for relaxing or zoning out with an iPod, but way cooler for gaming. It's like a Rumble Pak for your whole body... crashing into stuff on Project Gotham, feeling the crunch of the tackle on Madden, feeling the shots peal off on Call of Duty, etc. If you're like me and don't read instructions, please note that you have to push the "Audio Sync" button to switch it from regular massage mode to syncing with the sound. The speakers, being behind you, really make you feel like you're in the middle of it as well. You can flip them up and around and pivot them a bit to get them in the best position for your height, and they sound surprisingly good for their size. I recommend reducing the game's background music and turning up the sound effects...
Great for X-Box
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.
A gimmick
I tried this in a store once and was really unimpressed. Vibration is not my idea of massage. The speakers were poor in my opinion. Some people may find the game vibrating feature to be cool, but if you're looking for a massager, look into one of HoMedics other massager cushions with motorized balls such as the SMB-200, SMB-300, or QRM-400. They're more expensive, but they're easily worth the difference if you want something to relax you. And for audio, get some good ear buds, headphones, or a real audio system that can really immerse you in sound.
