From the manufacturer
The best Xbox One experience is with Kinect.
Voice commands
Experience greater convenience and control with Kinect for Xbox One. Navigate your console without lifting a finger. Instantly capture screenshots and game clips. And change TV channels without ever searching for the remote. It’s time to get the most out of your Xbox One.
- Instantly switch between your games, TV, and apps
- Make Skype calls in HD and send messages
- Control video and music playback
- Change the channel and volume of your TV
Wake up your Xbox One and TV
Take command of your entertainment. Turn your console on and off by simply saying “Xbox on” or “Xbox, turn off.” You can even configure your Xbox One to turn on other devices, like your TV, audio/video receiver, and cable/satellite receiver.
Automatic recognition
Kinect eliminates the need to manually switch or sign into your account on Xbox. Be recognized and signed-in automatically when turning on your console, so you can spend more time gaming.
Multi-tasking made easy
By snapping an app with Kinect voice commands, you can multitask the activities most valuable to you. Simply move the app to one side of your screen where it will continue to run while you do something else on the main part of your screen. Now there’s no need to choose between playing a game or checking up on football scores. Do both by simply saying 'Xbox, snap NFL' and continue playing, all without interrupting your game.
You are the controller
Included with Kinect is a full game download of Dance Central Spotlight. With a soundtrack of more than 50 songs available as add-on content, more routines per song than ever before, and a 1- to 2-player dance experience tailored for the Xbox One, Dance Central Spotlight is the next generation of motion dance games. You can also use your body and voice to control games like Kinect Sports Rivals, Zoo Tycoon, and more with incredible precision.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2016Style: NewVerified PurchaseOk it is pretty much a glorified microphone and a kinda expensive one. But it is very cool and I couldn't live without it. Once you get used to the voice commands no need for your controller most of the time. Being able to change channels and raise and lower the volume of your tv is sooo nice. It is compatiable with most aftermarket sound sytems for your home. I don't know of any it doesn't work on but you never know. I would recommend this product to someone who likes nice things and would rather use your voice then a remote
- Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2016Style: NewVerified PurchaseI love new tech, and I love hands-free tech. I've got an Echo I love. I've got Google Now. My house has all kinds of IoT to play with. And I'm no tech newb.
But this thing is terrible. Or it least it was for me.
I was excited about chatting in-game with my friends without a headset. I was excited about controlling my other STBs with it. I was excited about navigating around the XBOX via voice command. I was excited about not having to log in & to be able to control via gestures. I was excited by the wife-factor. None of these were what I was expecting, and in some cases not even possible. In others, they were so frustrating as to be useless.
THIS DEVICE DOES NOT DO IN-GAME CHAT. It does party chat, but not in-game chat. To quote Microsoft support chat when I asked after I couldn't get it working, "Just to properly set your expectation, Kinect cannot be used for in-game chats nevertheless.....[it does other things]". This was the main reason I purchased it. I am now seriously considering returning the device. Why wouldn't Microsoft make this clear in 1.) the marketing of this device or 2.) the packaging of this device or 3.) the description of this device?
IF YOU AREN'T A CABLE-BOX CUSTOMER, STB CONTROL IS TERRIBLE. This thing has a bunch of strong IR blasters, and "blast" works great, even if the device isn't nearby. But the voice commands lack any real ability to do anything but power on/off, and volume & channel changing. Want to control your receiver? Great. Want to do anything other than turn the receiver off or adjust the volume, like say the very important part of changing inputs? NOPE! I'm a cord-cutter, so I have no cable-tv, nor cable box. The design of the software interface is solely geared towards controlling your cable, which I don't have. I have a KODI box with FLIRC, but that's #$!@ to the XBOX (and manually programming it is pointless, because what WOULD it control?) In fact, its almost more difficult for me because when I turn off the XBOX via voice to Kinect, it turns my receiver off too via CEC.... Gee, thanks.
NAVIGATING AROUND THE XBOX VIA VOICE IS LIKE YELLING AT YOUR DEAF GRANDMOTHER. She knows you're saying something, but will usually get it wrong. It is nice that it "stays listening" for a short time afterwards, in case you want to be misheard more than once in a row, though. I have success getting it to turn on or off. I get decent success getting it to navigate the screen via "select" commands. That's about it. Ask to go to a game or app, and it will likely load the wrong one. Don't try asking it anything complicated; it only can handle the two pages of commands (shown when you are repeatedly misheard), and gets a lot of those wrong two. Perhaps if I uninstalled most of my games & apps, it wouldn't have so much to be confused with.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A TIGHT & BRIGHTLY LIT LIVING ROOM, IT IS MOSTLY CONFUSED. I live in the "Sunshine State". Its bright outside. My TV is near the window. We keep the blinds closed for better viewing. The soft lighting in the room is behind the viewers, so as to not be between the viewing eyes & the screen, which makes sense for your eyes. This is too dark for the Kinect. I got it to recognize me, I think because I was the only one there. But it won't recognize my fiance. It doesn't recognize the dogs. The viewing angle is so wide on the device, though, that it can see the ceiling fan spinning & gets confused. I will say I tried a Skype call, and I was impressed that it zoomed in on the speaker. That was a cool gimmick. But haven't gotten any non-game gestures to work.... And half of the time, it doesn't recognize me as "me".
THERE IS NO WIFE FACTOR. It doesn't understand her at all. Even yelling, it refuses to recognize she's even speaking most of the time. When it does recognize her, it mishears her. It refuses to recognize her visually, and after 5 attempts, she has no interest in attempting to get it to not recognize her further. She's not impressed & will never use, ever.
If you would like this device so your children can dance in front of it or because you are constantly video Skyping with someone, this may be worth it to you. If you are not using it for either of those two reasons, I would avoid wasting your hard-earned money on this. Will update if I decide to keep.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2016Style: NewVerified PurchaseIf you would like a little taste of the future you need to get one of these. Why? because your able to control your xbox one and possibly your TV by mostly voice commands. With the Kinect attached to my HD cable box and connected to my home wifi I can now turn my system off and on by just walking into the room and saying xbox turn on. Or turn it all off by saying xbox turn off. But this is just the beginning. With just voice commands I can access all my games. Access my movies on, You name the app. Amazon, Hulu, Netflix. I play, pause, rewind, fast forward what I'm watching. I can access my cable TV listings. I can switch channels. Raise and lower the TV volume. I can go on and on. This thing is just amazing. Now back to reality. This is all possible but each persons individual experience will be different depending on what equipment they own. The instructions that come with the Kinect and the xbox one console are non existent. I can only guess they assume you will just google the setup. That's probably right but Microsoft should at least mention it somewhere. That being said the setup was fairly easy but did take a little time. The Kinect just plugs into the back of your Xbox. And is powered by the xbox. No additional power cord is needed. Once hooked up you should be able to go to the settings in the xbox menu and see the Kinect as a connected device. From there I just started exploring it's features. With a little help from google. Overall it was well worth the $90 I paid for it. The only drawback for me was Dance central. I have no interest in this software. I wish Microsoft would offer the Kinect without it at a slightly lower cost, offer another title in it's place or a discount on the software of your choice. Something other that here a software title that your paying for but don't want.
***UPDATE*** Oct 2016
I've had my kinect for about 7 months now and it has started to show similar problems that others have reported. More specifically trouble staying on. I havnt as yet contacted Microsoft since I have been successful in getting it to work again. But it does disconnect from time to time. What I find fascinating is I have become so trained with voice commands that it would be difficult to sever my connection with the device. I really enjoy not having to pick up a remote to turn my tv off and on. Change the volume or channels. Not to mention all the other commands that can be used. If this Kinect should stop working I would gladly buy another.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2016Style: NewVerified PurchasePros:
1. Handsome looking
2. Integrates well with some apps like and skyping is very fun with it
3. Good camera resolution
Cons:
1. Poor voice recognition, It wont understand your voice if you dont speak with an american twang IMO.
2. Very Very few worthwhile games and apps.
3. The fact that its always on as long as the Xbox is and is constantly watching you and hearing you is quite creepy.
4. Doesn't do enough unless you also ruyn your TV through Xbox (which I dont)
5. Doesn't come with a TV mount.
Summary:A brilliant product... If it did what it is supposed to do. It looks good, works well (when it does) and is useful in some ways but it is severely hampered by lack of games and semi functional voice recognition. Also mounting and privacy screens are an additional cost if you want them.
Suggestion: Only for hardcore fans of augmented reality games and for kids who cant dance or go skiing or play any other sports outside their own home.
For regular Xbox users : SKIP IT!
