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.

    If you use your XBox more so for streaming, then this works really well! My gf loves this remote since it is more easy to use than the console controller. The only downside is interference.

    Does the job. Wanted a more standard remote to control the media aspects of my Xbox and it does what it’s supposed to do. I like it better than the remote that came with the tv

    I have three of these remotes for 3/4 of my Xbox Systems. They work better than the original MS Xbox remote. A must have so that you don't have to use the controller every time.

    It is very simple to pair the remote to either Series X or S and work as well as the Sony Media Remote does for the Playstation 5. Only downside, Triple A batteries.

    Leagues better than the original xbox one media remote. Having the directional pad be a solid button rather than the old soft button is excellent
