OREI 8K 2x1 HDMI Switch 4K @ 120hz, Auto HDMI Selector 48Gbps High Resolution Switch Between 2 Inputs Prefect for Gaming, PS5, Xbox, HDR10, Dolby Vision

​If you’re an Xbox Series X owner, you know the frustration: the console has no dedicated optical or 3.5mm audio port. While you can plug headphones into the controller, the audio compression and battery drain are real bummers. I bought the OREI BK-102A specifically to solve this, and it’s a total game-changer for wired headphone users. ​Why This is the "Xbox Secret Weapon": ​No Sacrifice on Visuals: Most "audio extractors" on the market cap out at 60Hz. This OREI unit handles 4K @ 120Hz and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) perfectly. My games still look buttery smooth on my monitor while I get direct audio. ​Pure Audio Quality: By plugging my "regular" headphones (or my desktop amp) directly into the 3.5mm jack on the splitter, the sound is significantly cleaner and louder than what comes out of the Xbox controller. ​Zero Lag: Unlike Bluetooth transmitters which have noticeable delay, this extracts the audio signal instantly. In shooters like Halo or Call of Duty, hearing footsteps in real-time is crucial, and this delivers. ​Stays Out of the Way: It’s small enough to tuck behind the console. Once you set the EDID switches, you can basically forget it’s there. ​A Few Tips for Xbox Users: ​Settings Check: Make sure to go into your Xbox Audio settings and set the "Headset Format" to Stereo Uncompressed (or Dolby Atmos/DTS if you have the license) to ensure the splitter sends the right signal to your headphones. ​Cables: To maintain that 120Hz speed, ensure you are using the HDMI cable that came with the Xbox (or another certified 48Gbps cable) from the console to the splitter. ​Final Verdict: ​If you want to use your favorite pair of wired studio headphones or high-end gaming cans with the Series X without being tethered to a controller or sacrificing your 120fps performance, get this. It’s the most reliable bridge between next-gen consoles and "old school" analog audio. ​

Fantastic HDMI switcher. Work's flawlessly and is compatible with PS5, which is an issue I had with a different brand. Definitely recommend.

This is my third HDMI splitter, the first two were around the £30.00 price point and worked on my Xbox Series X but not on my PS5 - that said, I didn't check whether the Xbox was showing as 4K 120Hz on either. Needless to say, after being £56.00 down I was still on the hunt for a working HDMI splitter for my two consoles. Up pops the OREI 8K UltraHD HDMI Splitter. I went for the 2 x 2 without audio as it suited my needs better, plus it was cheaper! Item turned up (left outside in the freezing cold courtesy of Amazon Prime deliverers!) and I immediately unboxed it and looked to get it plugged in. The unit itself is very solid and feels premium in your hands. The remote is a little plastic naff thing so I left that in the box. The UGREEN power from my last switch was still in place and fitted this unit so I used that, connected my 3 8K HDMI 2.1 cables and gave a test. To my delight I could now easily switch between my PS5 and my Xbox without having to fiddle around in the cupboard to swap out from the Samsung Frame control box. So far so good. The first downside was with the HDMI control. When I turned on my Xbox (which in turn, turned on the TV) it also turned on my PS5 and, as the PS5 powered on last, the OREI box switched over to that. That issue doesn't occur though if I switch on the PS5, the Xbox remains powered off. Initially, the PS5 seemed to be working fine - menu options showed 120Hz was automatic, although the VRR was disabled (which I was sure was enabled when connected directly). Games seemed fine but I wasn't 100% sure it was running at 120Hz. The Xbox though was showing that the TV wasn't cable of 4K at 120Hz. Not ideal but at least it's a working solution so I was going to go with it. Today though, after everything had been power cycled (except the splitter), the PS5 and the Xbox are both running at 4K 120Hz - note, I don't normally power off the TV at the mains but I did during my testing because there's an issue with the Samsung Frame when it's left connected to an idle device for a prolonged period of time, it messes with the audio. Well, cuts the audio completely! A power cycle is the only resolution, so something to bear in mind if you have any issues when first setting up. Why only 4 stars then? Well, I had a problem where I had both consoles on, powered off the Xbox thinking I can simply switch over to the PS5 but was stuck with a green screen so had to hard power the PS5 too. Given the power-up snafu I mentioned earlier, this could end up being a regular issue when I play Xbox so, to me, that warranted a 1 star removal. Could just require a firmware upgrade that I haven't looked into yet. Once I've done that I may come back and update the review/rating accordingly. TL/DR; works almost perfectly with the Samsung Frame (plugged into the Game port), Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.

This one believe it or not was recommended to me by my Ai 🤖 I asked it what’s a no nonsense switch that does 4k 120hz switches by itself and I can plug it in and forget it’s there. This and 2 other switches was recommended. The other 2 were multi switches which I felt I didn’t need as this was just for a switch 2 & the old Oled was already maxed out. So picked this. Plugged it in. About 3 weeks ago now. It switches between my ps5 and switch 2. Guys - it just works! ( as Todd says 👀) 120hz, everything.. sometimes the best thing you could say about something like this is once you plug it in you forget it’s even there. It’s just another port. Full utility auto switches. Perfect sound. If you want a simple but high quality switcher at 4k 120hz with auto switch this is it. 5/5 would recommend fully. Actually- I DID forget it was there until this reminder to review came up. That’s how good it works. ☺️ Ps - I’m using it on my OLED 55 LG tv. It comes with a power supply. 😒 I thought.. this ain’t it! But read that if it’s a powered port it should work anyway. - it did! 🫡

I recently purchased the Orei BK-401 4 in 1 out HDMI switch, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! This device has truly transformed my home entertainment setup. First and foremost, the 8K @ 60Hz and 4K @ 120Hz support is phenomenal. The picture quality is crystal clear, and the colors are incredibly vibrant. Whether I'm watching movies, playing video games, or streaming content, the visual experience is top-notch. The ease of use is another standout feature. Switching between my devices is seamless and quick, thanks to the intuitive remote control and the auto-switching feature. I no longer have to fumble around with multiple HDMI cables or worry about which device is connected where. The build quality of the Orei BK-401 is also impressive. It's sturdy and feels durable, giving me confidence that it will last for a long time. The compact design fits perfectly into my entertainment center without taking up too much space. Overall, I highly recommend the Orei BK-401 HDMI switch to anyone looking to enhance their home entertainment system.

Excellent quality work seems mostly control works great as well. I wish it was a three to one!

Fa il suo dovere e speriamo che duri non come glia altri simili che ho comprato prima

I'm getting a black screen interrupt the signal from time to time that lasts about 5 seconds edit: I've tried to only have 1 input and 1 output for the past week which seemed to mitigate the issue but just now ended up have a flashing black screen. after power cycling the device it fixed it. this is not normal...

This is my second OREI HDMI Matrix 2x2 switcher. I have 2 televisions in my home bar. I have my cable HDMI connected to one input and a Roku in the other. The outputs go to the 2 TVs. I can have cable on either TV with Roku on the other, or both TVs on either signal. The sound from the input is provided to the TV via the HDMI cable (the optical sound / sound extractor are not required). The only hiccup that I had was when I first connected the TVs, only one had sound. I swapped the output ports to the opposite TVs and now it works without any issues.
