Pros
- •The design is sleek and futuristic, enhancing the overall experience.
- •The remote successfully controls both TV and Sonos soundbar after setup.
- •The remote is lightweight and easy to use.
Cons
- •Navigation is challenging due to all buttons being flush with the device.
- •Frequent loss of connection, requiring the PS button to wake it.
- •When the remote reconnects, it often no longer controls the volume.
- •Users must turn the TV off and back on to regain volume control.
- •Placement of the volume buttons is not intuitive and takes time to adjust.
Bottom Line
The PlayStation 5 Media Remote shines with its sleek design and ability to control multiple devices, but it falls short with connectivity and button navigation issues. If intuitive use and consistent functionality are your priorities, this remote may require some patience and adaptation. However, for seamless integration with your PS5 and an aesthetic addition to your setup, it's a solid choice.
