Ratings & Reviews for Roku Streambar 4K/HD/HDR Streaming Device with Remote Control Included

DMG

It works great - would like a better remote control

Something is wrong.

Stops working frequently. Interrupting movies, shows and news broadcasts. Even though it resets, it is annoying. Shuts down and restarts 2 to 3 times weekly. Also my other tv, a Roku tv, is worthless and unreliable. Can't connect to Internet. I have to use my laptop connected to the Roku tv to watch anything . The Roku tv will be replaced this Christmas. Never again with this brand. Waste of money. Now for the good stuff. The sound of the Roku sound bar is real good. Better than expect...

It has a lot of issues

I have a Roku Express that has less issues. I have to restart it a lot. It freezes, sometimes only shows half of the app icons, the sound quality is terrible. When it works it's not bad, but when it doesn't it's not good.

Terrible Design, Very Cheap

I’ve had the Bluetooth soundbar & subwoofer for over a year. It’s been 8 months since the subwoofer worked. Every time the subwoofer loses power it unpairs itself so I have to wait 5 minutes for it to detect the subwoofer, then the TV tries to update the subwoofer, which takes another 5 minutes, then it fails to update rendering the subwoofer completely useless.

HDMI has to be replugged frequently

Would love to have the bar hold the ability to play HDMI 4. It will work for several times then when turned on again, it only plays audio while showing error message. Has to be unplugged, HDMI unplugged, TV turned off and then all redone. It usually will work then although sometimes all needs to be redone.

Not my Favorite

Since buying, and connecting…I’ve experienced more connectivity and delays than the ultra ever did.

Good service. Not great hardware.

Replaced a two year old Roku after it started failing. The new one powers down if you aren’t actively watching a channel, and is very slow to reconnect. Love the service tho.

Once added, you’re stuck

I have had my stream bar for a few years now. I recently started investigating whether I could add / replace it with a set of Klipsch Chorus 2 speakers, running everything through a straightforward Sony receiver that had the ability to send the tv audio to the speakers. I deleted the stream bar when it appeared it wasn’t compatible with this type of setup. Once I did, the only message I saw displayed showed the system was looking for the stream bar that had been deleted. So, I added the stream b...

Poorly designed, fair sound for a cheap device.

I have had the Streambar for 5 months now. Plagued with setup problems , needed multiple resets and tech support. It only shows volume levels when in Roku mode,, frustrating when using the Streambar for sound on connected devices such as TV , game systems, TV box, etc. I will spend a little more and purchase a name brand quality sound bar.. Don't waste your money on this product.

Roku Soundbar

Product worked good for the first 6 months. Now the volume is low at times and high others. The optical connection has audio static that comes through every now and then. Numbers and titles don’t always show, sometimes it just shows blocks instead. But the unit does still function except for the issues above. I have tried to do the software updates hoping that would fix the issues but the problems still persist. I really like the Roku streaming devices and that’s why I am still using this...

Great and fast start up

I bought this a year back and just connected it now. It is awesome and sound is much better than the tv speaker

Sound bar is perfect addition!

Our 20 year old TV finally gave up so we got a Roku QLED 4k TV. Fantastic TV! I added the Roku Sound bar and took it to the next level! Great sound, super easy to pair, a definite must have for your Roku experience!

Great sound, but some big issues

This has great sound! I also love the dialog enhancer and loud commercial sound suppressor. 5 stars for those. However, there are issues with the apps. For example, sometimes the apps cause the device to freeze up and the device will be non responsive…then it will restart. It has issues with the Netflix app, it doesn’t remember where you left off when viewing shows on Paramount + or Peacock…etc. So, great speaker, but some of the apps just don’t play nicely with the Streambar.

Sound Could Be Improved

I purchased the sound bar with the expectation sound would have more depth like larger speakers would sound. Not even close. Bose speakers years ago sound better, especially with music. A little disappointed.

Sound sinking with mouth movement

Setting up was a little complex, and sometimes frustrating. On continuous problem is movies and programs don’t sink.

Easy Set-up Easy to Use

My friend kept telling me that for the best sound I needed a sound bar. After the frustration of the Sonos Sound Bar, this was not only a joy to set-up but as an added bonus it also has a blue tooth feature

the sound is not clear it has side noises and stastic

Roku Review

Works really well. Only 1 problem: bluetooth does not work with my bluetooth hearing aids. Also needs to let everyone in the room listen as well

Great Streamer! Great sound!

I bought this to replace a Roku Ultra and a soundbar. Now only need 1 remote and the sound is great.

It waa okay. Nothing special.

The sound bar is okay but nothing special. The old Roku stick at least turned the TV off and on. This one I have to use the TV remote.
