Hi guys,
Just a heads up. Just found out that Netflix doesn't likes USB wireless headphones or I'd says that output audio through usb specially if the audio is in 5.1 channel mode.

I have Mi 4k box and yesterday I bought a Logitech g435 usb wireless headphones. The wireless adapter when plugged in the USB slot of the Mi box output sound fine albeit a bit low. But when I was playing Netflix some tittles were throwing error "We're having trouble with playing the content right now...." where some titles was playing fine. Searched a lot, reset the Mi Box, nothing worked. Searching in the Reddit found out that Netflix has this kind of problems with the USB audio devices, specially with 5.1 or spatial sound tracks. Removed the USB stick and Netflix started to play fine.

So, Bluetooth work fine, but wireless doesn't which was the main purpose of buying the headphone.

So just thought of giving you a heads up.
