The second-generation Siri Remote improves ergonomics and functionality with a redesigned D-pad, jogwheel, and better button placement. While it requires minor muscle memory adjustments and lacks a remote-locator feature, the thoughtful upgrades justify the price for most users.

Perfect 9/10

“The price is hard to swallow, but the new Siri Remote is such an improvement over the prior one that you almost have to get it.”
