Pro Series GT099 Red
GTRacing price: $149-$189
The GTRacing Pro Series is GTRacing’s most popular product line. Like Ace Series chairs, these chairs have compact dimensions best suited to slim adults of average height.
The GT099 Classic Red is the most popular model. On Amazon, it remains one of the all-time top sellers.
Pro Series chair specs
Across the entire Pro Series product line, features and dimensions are the same. The main difference between models is the upholstery and styling.
Most chairs in the sub-$200 price range offer fixed (or 1D) armrests and a 6-month or 1-year warranty. GTRacing Pro Series chairs stand out with 2D armrests and a 2-year warranty (when you buy direct).

Pro Series seats are a good fit for teens and slim adults of average height. GTRacing rates Pro Series chairs to support up to 330 pounds. In reality, people that heavy would be too wide for these chairs.
For slim adults or teens, the 330-pound rating ensures a super-solid build. Sitting in a Pro Series chair feels like sitting in a tank.

Pro Series Red from GTRacing $139.99
The Pro Series Red is also available on Amazon for $109.59.
Bluetooth Music Series
GTRacing price: $179-$199
We’re not fans of gaming chairs with Bluetooth speakers — proper speakers of a gaming headset works much better. Even so, GTRacing Music chairs are very popular. Big holes fit into the upper backrest to house the speakers. You need to run a USB from the backrest to your computer to charge the speakers.
A 3-hour charge will get you 5-6 hours of music time within a 5-meter range of your PC. For this to work, your computer needs to have a built-in Bluetooth connection. If not sure how to check on a Windows machine, refer to this Microsoft guide for help.
Despite the clunky charging process, the end result is pleasing. Stereo sound effects blast from speakers on both sides of the chair. It’s an immersive sonic experience that enhances gameplay to a noticeable degree. Most people who try it will get blown away by the level of immersion.
GT890M Music Series
One model in the Music Series line is the GT890M. This is a GT099-RED (best-selling Classic model) with added speakers.
Music Series chairs from GTRacing $179-$199
Music Series chairs are also available on Amazon for $159.99.
Footrest Series
GTRacing price: $179-$199
Like Music Series chairs, Footrest Series models are enhanced Pro Series chairs. When working upright, fold the footrest so that it stashes under your seat. When it’s time to relax, retract the footrest, deepen your chair’s recline, and kick your feet up.
GTRacing also makes footrest gaming chairs optimized for the living room. For example, the GTF39 Series comes with fixed, extra padded armrests and a retractable footrest. At a desk, the fixed padded arms aren’t ideal. In the living, room, those plus the footrest deliver a luxurious throne for gaming or watching movies.
Footrest Office Series from GTRacing $165-$199
Footrest Pro Series chairs are available on Amazon for $174.99. The GTF39 (living room edition) footrest chair is also available on Amazon for Price not available.
