Experience the incredible intensity, precision and comfort of the Xbox Wireless Controller. Impulse triggers deliver fingertip vibration feedback, so you can feel every jolt and crash in high definition. Responsive thumbsticks and an enhanced D-pad provide greater accuracy.

Works with the Amazon Fire TV Stick
on March 16, 2017
Posted by: Steven
I originally purchased a new Sony PlayStation 4 Dual Shock Bluetooth remote to connect to my Amazon Fire TV Stick to play games. I had to use ADB to obtain the Bluetooth address of the Fire Stick and then use another program to assign that address to the Sony controller just to get the Fire Stick to recognize the Sony Controller. Headache. It connected and worked at a short distance, less than 5 feet away. Beyond that and the connection would drop. It worked fine on my Windows 10 laptop and Android tablet.
I returned the Sony DS4 remote and bought the SteelSeries Stratus XL. The Stratus XL turned out the be worse than the Sony DS4. This was recognized by the Amazon Fire Stick but would not keep connected. I had further issues with my Windows PC and Android tablet with the A and B buttons going out during play. I would have to turn it off then back on to get the buttons to work again for only a minute or two. You also need their software installed on the Windows PC in order for it to be recognized.
After all that hassle I decided to exchange the Stratus XL for this Xbox One Bluetooth controller. This was recognized and paired instantly with the Amazon Fire TV Stick. No extra dongle required like the Xbox 360 wireless remote that connects via 2.5Ghz frequency. So far none of the buttons work as a Home button for the Fire Stick which is a small set back as everything else is working fine. This one also connects to my Windows 10 laptop as it's a Microsoft product and designed for just that purpose. No issues with gaming on my laptop. Also no issues with pairing and gaming on my Android tablet.
This was a great buy!

You will not be disappointed!

Top notch quality and performance at an unbeatable price.
Cable is just heavy enough to ooze quality but no too thick to decrease flexibility. it is a perfect balance.
Completely distortion and interference free.
Plug just about any cheap cable into an amplifier input and listen to the audio output while waving the other end of the cable around. A properly shielded cable will be completely silent unless you touch the other end.
This is being used to connect my high resolution DAC to my desktop amplifier. It sounds, works and feels great. Recommended.

Exchanged these for the Marshall Mode EQs
on June 14, 2015
Posted by: Steven
There is too much mid bass in the vocals in the Klipsch R6i. It's a real shame as the bass is tight and strong and the highs are beautiful without any sibilance. The mids are slightly too forward pushing the beautifully controlled highs back.
The decent soundstage of the Klipsch would be better if the mid bass wasn't overshadowing the clarity and detail of the highs during vocals.
EDM, drum-n-bass and Trap music sounds great on the Klipsch. Cannot recommend them for all genre general listening.
I ended up trading the Klipsch in for the Marshall Mode EQs. The Marshalls sound like my ATH-M50x over ears. Compared to the Klipsch R6i, the Marshalls have a more natural bass response in normal EQ mode with slightly brighter highs creating more detail and clarity. The other EQ mode emphazises the bass and mids making the sound more warm. It's a nice option for listening at lower volumes but not necessary if already listening at higher volumes. The Klipsch had a wider soundstage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Bass For Your Buck!!!
on December 24, 2014
Posted by: Steven
These replaced my old Sony MDR XB500 headphones. Very comfortable and great quality with angled drivers.
Similar to the old XB500 as sounding too bassy when listening with flat EQ settings and no adjustments. As these are designed for increased bass I find it necessary to increase the highs through EQ and then this is where these headphones hit my sweet spot.
They handle highs very well, not getting sharp or fatiguing, balancing with the amazing bass. For closed back headphones the soundstage and separation is also acceptable.

Works great!!!

I have had issues with the other wireless audio/video senders.
We would receive interference from other wireless devices such as our wireless video baby monitor and also running the microwave would make the signal and sound unbearable.
This system that works through the home wiring is performing flawlessly. As another reviewer already pointed out, be sure to plug the sender and receiver power cords directly into the wall for best performance.
