Ever since the demise of Logitech’s Harmony remotes, I’ve been looking for a suitable replacement to control my entertainment system. I’ve used Sofabaton’s previous remotes, as well as a few others, but the company’s latest Sofabaton X2 really comes the closest to replicating the gold standard.
It’s the best universal remote I’ve tested in recent years, with a solid aluminum design, backlit keys, and a small color touchscreen that makes it easier than ever to control your devices. More importantly, configuring the X2 to control all your devices is easier than ever. While there is still room for improvement — and this remote doesn’t come cheap — it’s the best you’re going to find short of a custom device.
