#ROKU SOUNDBAR REVIEW TV#
If you're using your TV's ARC HDMI port, the power and volume buttons should work with your TV as well as the Roku itself. The included remote control will be familiar to anyone who has used Roku systems before, complete with navigation, playback and volume buttons. But if you plug the Streambar into an HDMI port with ARC on your television, the audio of anything plugged into the TV (like an Xbox or Blu-ray player) will come through the Roku.Īlternatively you can use the included optical audio cable to plug a console, satellite box or Blu-ray/DVD player into the Streambar that way instead.įinally, the rear includes a pair of M6 x 8mm threaded mounting sockets for wall-mounting the Streambar, if that's your thing. I'd like to have seen an extra HDMI port for attaching another device, like a game console or cable/satellite TV box. On its rear the Streambar has a power socket, a single HDMI port, a USB-A port for playing media from external storage, and an optical audio socket. It is 14 inches wide, 4.2inches deep and 2.4 inches tall, meaning it'll fit neatly on the shelf of any media unit, or right in front of your TV.
I think this is probably the perfect use case for the Streambar, but it really can be used anywhere you have a TV or monitor, given its small size. I've been using the Streambar with my 27-inch computer monitor, which I also use as a bedroom TV. Its plastic body is wrapped in fabric (isn't every speaker these days?) and its curved edges give it a homely, unassuming look. There's a reassuring heft to its weight that likely helps improve sound quality as much as it makes the box feel like a quality product. The Streambar instantly feels like a sturdy and well-made product. Roku Streambar review: Hardware and designĪlthough designed to fit in front of any television, I think the compact nature of the Roku Streambar lends itself best to smaller screens - perhaps a computer monitor that you want to use for entertainment too, or a second television in a bedroom or study. If you want a larger sound bar, Roku also sells the $180 Smart Soundbar. Priced at $130 it also looks like good value for money, especially when Apple charges $179 for its Apple TV 4K streaming box. There's Alexa and Google Assistant support too.
#ROKU SOUNDBAR REVIEW PLUS#
This, as its name and design suggest, is a compact sound bar that also works as a fully-fledged media streamer, with 4K resolution, HDR and Dolby Audio, plus a huge range of streaming apps, a remote control with voice commands, and a smartphone app. To address both of these issues, Roku has created the Streambar.
