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).

    Works well however since it's IR you have to have a direct line of sight to the Xbox.

    Moved old Xbox to media room to play 4K movies and stream. Remote works great for non gamers to navigate apps etc without using the controller.

    Wanted a standard style remote rather than having to use the XBox controller for streaming and DVDs. Easy to use, particularly for those who aren't gamers.

    While some things are "ok" with using the game controller. Most are easier with media remote. All Xboxs are so much more than gaming machines. Tv streamer AND Xbox now includes Edge TV web browser. Must have. Worth the money. Buy NOW!

    It’s a good media remote for the Xbox. If you have two Xbox‘s in the same room. The media remote will work on both at the same time even when you don’t want it to.
