Review on Roku Streambar: 4K Streaming Media Player with Premium Audio & Voice Remote by Thomas Landis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is a streaming media player update

We had TV speakers and an old 2014 Roku prior to purchase. I'm no wizard at electronics installation, but it was easy enough. HDMI to HDMI and then a weird thin cable to a weird thin cable connector. (I think people are messing around with flimsy cables?) Here's what I LOVE about the Roku Streambar: + The ability to listen via Bluetooth 2+ headphones so adults can watch a movie while baby sleeps (using the Roku phone app) + I've found that a thin cable allows my Nintendo Switch to play audio through the Streambar! + Compared to the 2014 version, the UI was much better and more responsive + Use as a regular Bluetooth speaker + Remote control doesn't work, doesn't need to point directly at Roku to work + Turning off Roku will also turn off your TV. Here's what could be improved: - Getting the sound settings right wasn't easy, we had to keep switching between film and settings. Menu - The "Audio In" option would be nice - The remote hot buttons could be greatly improved if they could be programmed to our favorite service - who really uses Sling?

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
