If you like to listen to music or other audio while relieving body tension, the Brookstone Mach 9 makes it easy.

Dynamic Control
Use the dynamic control dial to choose your chair position.
The dynamic control dial has several options you can choose from:

Adjust your massage chair to make the seat sit upright as you take care of your legs and calves or lay outright for kneading pressure.
Customizing Your Massage
Brookstone designed the Mach IX to offer customized massages for your body type. This is done via the back-scanning sensor, which automatically detects body size, shape, and curves. Once you select your preferred massage therapy for the day, the sensor will scan your full body for treatment.
You can gently increase or decrease the intensity during a therapy session. Within the stretch option, the on-screen guide displays options for leg or foot massage treatments. While all these controls may seem daunting at first, they are ideal for users who have specific massage preferences.
Wireless Charging Pad
The Mach IX has plenty of convenient gadgets like the wireless charging pad, which is located on the chair arm. While releasing the tension from your muscles, you can charge your mobile phone so it’s ready at a moment’s notice.
It is this attention to detail that makes the chair special beyond just providing massages.
LED Chromotherapy Lighting
For many people, lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing the mood during a massage. The Mach IX's LED chromotherapy features embrace this idea. You will find lighting on the Bluetooth speakers. You can choose blue lighting for 12 minutes during a nighttime treatment.
The light flashes at mini-second intervals for ease and comfort on the eyes.
