Customers are saying

Customers value the Media Remote for its ease of use, affordability, and functionality. They appreciate the convenience of controlling their Xbox without the need for a controller, especially for streaming shows. However, some users have expressed concerns about the remote's line-of-sight requirement and the need for direct pointing, as well as its build quality and use of infrared technology.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Works great, really a huge step up from using the controller. Don't love that it's IR instead of Bluetooth, since i have to be more thoughtful about aiming than i do with a controller, but otherwise it has been great for my Series X.

    Perfect remote for the XBox S. Better than using the controller as a TV remote.
