RokuTV Wireless Soundbar, Soundbar Exclusively for RokuTV with Enhanced Stereo Sound, Clear Dialogue, and Simple Wireless Setup

If you want 5.1, this won’t get you there. You can either have front sound bar with subwoofer or front sound bar with rear channels. But you won’t get 5.1, if you want to. However, if you pair this unit with a subwoofer, it really does rock and has super performance sound at high volumes.If you want 5.1 - I’m going to copy one of the other reviews below to describe how this happens. Still recommend this unit, but you have to know what you’re getting.I wanted to create the 5.1 surround sound home theatre experience. This process is a bit confusing with the Roku brand audio products.I have a 75” TCL brand Roku operating system equipped smart LCD TV. With any smart TV with the Roku operating system or an actual Roku Brand TV, the process is the same.These TV models can only support 2 WIRELESS bluetooth audio devices at once. (But the SoundBar Pro, which is not wireless, can support more, read to the end…).The Roku brand WIRELESS sound bar is 1 device, a pair of Roku wireless speakers is treated like 1 device (a second set, 4 total speakers, is also an additional 1 device) and any Roku wireless subwoofer is also 1 device.You can connect 1 WIRELESS sound bar (front channels) and 1 subwoofer, no rear channels.OrYou can connect 1 pair of wireless speakers (rear channels) and 1 WIRELESS sound bar (front channels), no subwoofer.OrYou can connect 1 pair of speakers (front channels) and 1 subwoofer.But I want 5.1 surround…If you want 5.1 surround like me, you’ll need to get the Roku Sound Bar Pro (not wireless), 2 sets (4 total speakers) of Roku wireless speakers, and one of the Roku wireless subwoofers (they have two; a standard 10” and a slim subwoofer thats a 5.25”).I have the slim version so it fits into my entertainment console and my room is appx 25’x40’ and its only on setting #3 and it rattles the room!With that configuration, all 6 speakers can be connected (Roku sound bar pro is the center channel, the 4 wireless speakers are your front left, front right, rear left, rear right, and the Roku wireless subwoofer is last.The Roku Sound Bar Pro is connected to the TV via HDMI-ARC, and acts like an A/V Receiver that all the other speakers connect directly to via BlueTooth; NOT directly to the TV itself.The sound quality is EXCELLENT and the setup process is SUPER simple, once you have the correct devices you want, based on the setup your trying to create, its a theatre sound level experience!Awesome sound quality, nice speakers, easy connections, very few wires, NO sound lag = AWESOME!All speakers have an individual power wire, so consider that when buying (my 5.1 surround setup (6 speakers) needs 6 wall outlets in different places). The Roku Sound Bar Pro is connected to the TV via 1 HDMI-ARCAll speakers come with their power wires. The Roku Sound Bar Pro also comes with an HDMI cable, a optical audio cable, and a new Roku voice remote and with remote sound via ear buds, included.I love Roku brand remotes; super simple to use, they have 2 main styles ( infrared and RF frequency) and as long as you match up the right one to your TV, they are very interchangeable and easy to pair.It really feels like Roku was trying hard to make great sound, for several customer space configurations, and a very easy setup with very few wires.They SUCCEEDED.Both the Roku WIRELESS sound bar and Roku sound bar pro sounded really great for just a sound bar only.Adding the other speaker elements I did, just raised the bar a notch higher with each speaker.Granted, Roku is a bit pricy when compared to other brands, but with the simplicity and ease of setup, plus their support…. Its a great value.

Good sound and easy set up. The TV speakers are not the best for watching movies, and my old Phillips soundbar recently died. After comparing other soundbars in tge budget price range, I decided to get the Roku soundbar. As it turns out, the Roku soundbar is very clear and crisp as advertised. Much needed if you have hearing loss as I do. I may decide to add the subwoofer later for a bigger bass sound. The best thing about this soundbar is the wireless feature. Plug it in, follow the on screen directions, and you're good to go in less than 5 minutes! Super easy for anyone who is "tech challenged." This is a good soundbar for anyone who simply wants to hear the sound while watching movies with a hassle free setup.

I bought this to replace a TCL alto6+. The alto 6 had great bass but my wife and I could barely make out the dialog. There were no adjustments you could make and the dialog was just muddy.Enter the Roku soundbar. Wow. It doesnt have the big booming bass since it doesn't have a separate subwoofer but it has more than enough to make action movies fun to watch and the sound clarity is EXCELLENT.Not only is dialog nice and clear but foot steps, splashing through puddles... it is just a nicer expereince and I didnt think the tv speakers were pretty good as is. This is just better. You get most of the settings that came with your TV available for the soundbar so you have leveling, dialog enhancer, and the rest but it adds a treble and bass adjustment too so you can tailor it. Love the sound and my understanding is you can add a subwoofer if you feel you need more bass.We are thrilled with it. Hook up is incredibly easy even if you are not a tech minded person .. you plug it in, press the pair button and the sound bar actually tells you what to do!! Its up and running in minutes. no cables plugs or complicated pairing. Its really a two step process and away you go. If it sounds like I am gushing .. I am. We broke out our movie collection and started rewatching movies we know have cool sound just to enjoy them with the soundbar.

I always want the TV louder to hear voices.Spouse wants me to always turn the TV down.The soundbar makes the audio 1000 times clearer on my TCL Roku TV. And I don’t need to turn it up too loud anymore to hear the dialogue. Bonus, everything sounds better and it’s still it too loud.

The ONLY reason I give this soundbar 4 stars is because it goes off at random making a lot of noise. Woke us up last night/early this morning at 1:22 am. :-/I originally thought it didn't have mounting holes, but it does...wish they had made this more obvious!!! I bought a separate mounting bracket so that I could place it right under the TV as it (the TV) is mounted on the wall at a diaginal, only to find out that I have to take the TV down, install the bracket, then remount the TV...no thank you!Other than that, it delivers on everything else. The clarity is nice, the volume control is perfect, it's weight is not bad at all, and it's pretty easy to use.

I had a hard time with my Roku TV because the sound never got loud enough for me to hear some movies that I like to watch. So I ordered this sound bar to try and help with the sound and it's wonderful all you have to do is plug it in and it works and now instead of having to go to 80 to hear a movie I go to 15 or 20 and it's plenty loud enough. This was a good buy however I don't understand why my Roku TV sound didn't work properly without it, it's as if you have to buy this soundbar to be able to hear your Roku TV but at least I'm happy now.

Simple to mount, program and connect to the TV. This won't give you an immersive surround sound experience. However, if you just need a simple upgrade from the TV speakers, this is a great pick. Much louder and more clarity.
