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 remote is so nice to have. We currently use our xBox just for watching tv/videos and barely play anything on it. It's nice not having to use a game controller just to watch tv.

    Works well as intended. I appreciate the option to not have to power up my controller every single time I just wanna watch/stream stuff. Only thing that it could definitely improve on is the range and connection strength as it would lag just a bit if it's not pointed directly at the console.

    I went through 4 different remote controls and none of them don't even come close to this one. If you own Xbox this one is a must.

    This solves my biggest pet peeve with using a controller for media, accidentally pressing the bumper or stick and skipping parts if the show. This helps my kids be able to control their shows.

    Great product. Wife didn't want to use a controller so this was perfect. Had previously purchased a different one from Amazon and the set up was going to take forever. Had this set up and linked in under 2 minutes.

    Great way to use your XBOX as a media center without using a controller. Much easier to use. Only complaint is that the remote needs a very direct and clear line to the unit to be read.

    I love this remote, my old PDP Xbox remote was getting old and the battery cover kept slipping off. The insignia remote just fit in your hands. Good for a blu ray and ultra 4K and steaming remote. I was going to pre order this but it was sold out. I was lucky it was 1 left in store.

    Yes! We still have some DVDs. This makes it so easy to use the Xbox instead of having a separate device to watch DVD movies

    Works well with the Series X. Doesn’t have all of the controller buttons but just the ones you need for watching TV and movies. Plastic, cheap feel however, buttons have are nice and clicky. Doesn’t have the “X” globe button so looks like a regular non xbox remote.

    We got this so that we don't have to use our Xbox controller for our tv, so far so good! We're hoping this will help keep us from having to buy a new controller every few years. Works well! Just don't leave it on the couch, it will get lost haha.
