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).

    So easy to use and set up. Way better than controller if you use your Xbox for an entertainment system. Can connect to your cable box as well.

    The remote is fine for the price, but I’ve noticed that it doesn’t have solid range even with good batteries. I’ve had some issues getting it to work without being within five feet of the sensor. I wish it had more range as even my awful tv remotes work from a further distance. It works fine enough, just not what I would hope for.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I love this remote. I don't have to use my xbox controller. This will be my second remote. The other one still works but the buttons wore out. I memorized the buttons layout but the other family members do not. So got another one so they can see. I put the other one away as backup. Later in the future I think this will be hard to find. So it's good to have a backup.
