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).

    Great little remote! You just gotta make sure your Xbox doesnt have much in front of it. If you do, the remote doesnt work as well.

    After using the xBox X supplied controller for Blu-Ray playback, we decided to include this remote to make operation more conventional. This did the trick. No need to relearn the button hieroglyphics!

    These work great for both my Xbox One and my Series X. Takes some getting used to since they need to be aimed at the console, so if you have the console behind your TV… it will not work.

    This is a nice remote but you do need direct line of sight of the Xbox for it to work, so just know that going in and you’ll be fine.
