- Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2020Size: 4K- 3 PortVerified PurchaseThis is a great little product. Our second TV did not have enough HDMI inputs to connect more than 2 units so this unit gave us the ability to have 3. The unit comes in a nice box with full protective packaging. A great little manual is included inside with everything you need from initial connection setup to functionality of the unit and remote. It also has instructions for additional features. The remote comes with a working battery so you won't need to run out and get one. It's a little on the small side but then again it's only used to switch inputs and it's clearly marked on the remote. The unit is compact, looks nice and lights up well so it's pretty easy to see the input selected on the front panel. Connecting it was so easy. The picture quality when switching from one unit to another is fantastic. I do not see any degradation at all, at least not to my eyes. In fact I thought the picture quality was better than before. This is truly a great value. Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 29, 2023Size: 4K- 5 PortVerified PurchaseUnfortunately (or fortunately?) I found myself with too many devices for my television’s three HDMI ports. It was a nuisance to plug and unplug to accommodate my Apple TV box and I wanted to avoid damage to the ports.
I finally decided on a hub and selected the Kinivo switch. Straightforward, quick and simple. Attractive, yet discrete with a compact form factor.
One thing to be aware of: the manufacturer does point out that the auto switching feature will not work for PlayStation, XBox, Amazon and Apple TV (all of which I have lol.) Apparently this is because these systems are never truly “off”. This is not really an issue as the included remote control is quite satisfactory and compact. Make sure you have a free outlet as well. No regrets on this one.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 6, 2023Size: 4K- 3 Port with ToslinkVerified PurchaseI really like this Kinivo HDMI Switch with Audio Extractor. Good looks, quality build, and great design except for using it with my capable and little used Sony legacy HDTV rear screen projector. No stock HDMI connection on the projector.
Long story short . . .
1) My TV cable (Fibre)/wireless receiver uses HDMI. It passes integrated audio/video out, but the latest box has no RCA or other audio outputs. My P rojector uses DVI (no HDMI) video input and RCA audio inputs. My AV receiver didn’t help even though component audio/video was a consideration.
2) Projector was successfully converted using a worthy HDMI to DVI adapter.
3) Plugged cable box HDMI output to Kinivo’s input then out to the projector HDMI/DVI input. Yes! A picture. NO! Looking out of phase and green with a less than desired image. Troubleshoot? OK. Solved? NO!
4) Kinivo audio? Yes! Mini plug to projector and optical to A/V receiver (both to work independently). Nice!
5) Tested Kinivo audio and video as recommended with Smart TV and its HDMI. Well … THAT All Works ! ! ! Hmmmm?!
6) Kinivo went back to the projector. Kept the original audio setup with one change. I split the TV box HDMI out with one lead going to Kinivo for audio and the other to the projector HDMI/DVI for a successful video feed. Phew!
In the end I like the Kinivo for what it does; but, heads up for what it doesn’t do if your setup resembles mine. Yes, I could have returned it and reduced the investment, but that would mean another roll of the dice and I might have future considerations. I do wish it could have done better, however, as the original video source did connect with the Sony.
Under the right circumstances Kinivo with its cool lights and great switching could work for you with a remote to boot.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 28, 2024Size: 4K- 5 PortVerified PurchaseIt's been a few mouth that I'm using it and it's working very well...
I have many product connect to it (Blue ray, Bell Streamer, game console, tuner, smartphone).
It's easy to go from one to another. The remote is working fine... You must be near the device, but it's okay !
Very happy with it !
- Reviewed in Canada on July 29, 2024Size: 4K- 5 PortVerified PurchaseGood product, worked well for almost a year but occasionally glitches and shuts off power to all the ports. I have to end up unplugging it and re-plug it back in to reset it. The auto switching mode works well. I'm still using the product, screen quality through the device seems to be good.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 31, 2019Size: 4K- 5 PortVerified PurchaseThis HDMI Switch/splitter is fantastic! I have only one free HDMI input left on my TV. I have been plugging and unplugging my Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Fire Stick, etc. Finally invested in one of these and man, this one is worth every penny! I bought the 550BN model.
The switch/splitter is very light and quite small. You do need it set up in a space where it can pick up remote signals though. On the switch, there are 4 Inputs at the back. On one side, is 1 more Input next a Power Input (power cable was included). On the other side is the Output, where you connect to your TV/monitor/etc. What WASN’T included, is an HDMI cable for the Output. Luckily I have a spare. Make sure you pick one up if you purchase this.
The front side is a Power indicator light (there’s no button, you plug it in, and it’s just on). There’s a button you can use to manually switch between the inputs. There are also light indicators for each of the inputs.
The remote is awesome. You don’t have to even get up to use the button on the actual component. It’s got “up/down” buttons, or you can use the numeric buttons, a button labelled to coordinate each input number. It comes with a battery (yay!) It does run on one of those flat circular batteries though, not sure what size/volt. There’s a little screw to release the battery and I haven’t bothered to take it out and see.
I couldn’t be more happy with my purchase. If you’re in the market for a HDMI Switch/Splitter, I highly recommend this one! Love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to install, good compatibility
Size: 8K - 4 PortVerified PurchasePurchased it to connect my fire stick, apple tv, and xbox one to my tv, which also has an eARC sound bar connected into it. All items above worked without any issue since I plugged them in. Apple tv retained all its functions (volume, turn on tv, turn off tv), Firestick also retained all it’s functions and the HDMI splitter remote makes things so much faster by just switching between your devices from far. Good product overall, five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars great choice for those looking to simplify their home entertainment setup with limited ports
Size: 240BN - 2 PortVerified PurchaseThe Kinivo Premium 4K HDMI Switch is a great choice for those looking to simplify their home entertainment setup with high-resolution support and multiple input options.
High Resolution Support: It supports 4K @ 60Hz, 3D, Full HD, and Ultra HD, ensuring high-quality video output.
Multiple Ports: With 2 input ports and 1 output port, it allows you to connect multiple devices to a single display.
Stable Performance: The switch provides high bandwidth 18Gbps data transmission, ensuring a stable and fast connection.
Handles switching between Amazon Fire stick and Gaming Console without any issues. The only con would be that there is no remote to do this from the couch.
