Best Home Theater Gifts for 2025

If you have more than one device hooked up to your TV — say, a gaming console, a cable box and a streaming device — then you are most certainly sick of fumbling for the right remote. The Sofabaton U2 is designed to solve this problem. All of your devices are available in one place at the flick of a wheel. The setup is one of the best I’ve encountered in 20 years of testing universal remotes. The app itself is straightforward, and it connects to the remote over Bluetooth. Though I haven’t tested it, the upgraded X1S offers “activities” if you want to control multiple devices at once — for instance, “Watch TV” could turn on the streaming box and the TV, and then set an AV receiver to the correct HDMI input.
