Review: An essential 'accessory' for the streamer. 100% improvement in usability. - I'll start (and finish!) with a moan. I actually cannot fathom why this remote is not included as standard with the Bluesound Node..oh wait, yes I can- extra currency for the manufacturer! There was a time not so long ago when every item of hifi that had remote capability came with a remote control.. now it's an optional extra, with the assumption being that the 3rd rate user-experience of using an app will suffice for most. Anyway the reason it's essential in my opinion, is that it saves the soul-crushing, rigmarole of swipe/unlock/press/swipe/swipe/press/swipe/jab/jab/swipe/press, etc, etc required everytime you want to do something basic like switch off the display or change track or source. The app is great for setting things up, but honestly, I look at my phone often enough without having to jab away at it every single time I want to do anything with the Node. So aye, I would say it's pretty much essential and improves the whole experience of using the streamer 100% Can't believe I waited a year of ownership before buying this. Oh wait, £50 more, that's why I waited! The remote itself is fantastic quality- as solid and premium feeling as any remote I've ever used. And the absolute best thing, is the presets. No longer buried under swipes and jabs sub-menus on a phone, but a single, instant change of preset. It's just like changing station on a radio or TV. There's no delay on the sources I've tried- I switch between Radio Paradise and Qobus and a station or two on Tunein, for example. A lovely user experience. But once again and finally, guys at Bluesound, just stop with the ringing every cent from the customer business model- just include the darned thing in with the Node; even if it raises the price by a bit. It really makes the Node far, far more usable- a game changer in daily usage for me.
Review: Just the job. - Very well made and work well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with my bluesound 2i?**
A: Thanks for your question. All Bluesound Gen 2 and Gen 2i Players have an IR sensor built-in and now have the IR commands for the RC1 embedded in BluOS. This means that as long as your Player is updated with the most recent BluOS firmware, the RC1 will work right out of the box.

**Q: Is the remote plastic or metal?**
A: It happens to be beautiful and metal.

**Q: Can one of the buttons be programmed to connect to a paired bluetooth headphone?**
A: I don’t think so… buttons are for sources (playlists, channels, etc.). Anything you can define in BlueOS controller as a preset, it can call. It is a nice remote… don’t think it can do what you are after though.

**Q: Does this work with nad m10?**
A: Thanks for your question. The Bluesound RC1 will control BluOS-enabled NAD products, including the M10.

Very well made and work well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Bluos Remote
*by A***R on 17 August 2021*

Works as intended, above standard build quality, and buttons well laid out for one-hand operation. Somewhat overpriced, so only 4/5 for overall rating.
