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 remote works fine so far. I tested it on the Xbox one and Xbox Series S.

    The remote feels and look fine, but it doesn’t do exactly what it’s supposed to. The directions were not clear either. It works to navigate while streaming movies and sports, but it won’t go in and out of apps and menus. For the price it’s fine, but not too much better than just using the Xbox controller.

    Love the Idea, but wasn't a big fan. Practically is not the best. Has to be pointed directly at the xbox which could be a problem for some.

    Does what it is designed to do but it is an infrared remote. If you don’t have line of sight it doesn’t work. Unfortunately my Xbox is in a media cabinet, so I have to open the cabinet door to use the remote.

    Not nearly as good as the Sony PS5 remote. You must be line of sight and have this pointing directly at the Xbox for it to work. That is very inconvenient.

    A decent quality media remote for the price. Just the barebones functionality on it, nothing extraordinary but that suits me just fine as I’m not one who usually makes use of those features. Set up was nonexistent as it was ready to use with both my Xbox One and Series X respectively. Would recommend definitely
