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.

    You have to point directly at the console and it’s not like Apple TV Remote or PlayStation where you can point anywhere. So it is line of sight.

    This remote feels flimsy as if you press to hard you'll snap it in half and it takes several pushes sometimes to get things to work right but it does the job.

    Does exactly what I needed it for. Controls my new Xbox Series X without issue. And simultaneously lets me control the volume on my non-CEC enabled soundbar.

    It’s functional but annoying. The remote has to be pointed DIRECTLY at the XBOX to work. Even then you have to press the buttons more than once for it to work

    The Insignia remote for the xbox one s works fine. I dislike using the controller to selecting apps and tabs and this remote helps with that issue.
