Review on 🎧 Enhanced Audio Experience: Wired Earbuds Earphones with Mic for Clear Communication by Jeanette Green

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I am sorry. I'm not impressed

First off, I have a Fire HD set-top box. It may not support thousands of channels like the ROKU 3, but it does have a TOSLINK 5.1 interface for my Pioneer VSX-815 receiver. Not everyone is going to go out and buy an HDMI receiver if they already have something worthy of theater surround sound via Light Guide (TOSLINK). The headphone interface on ROKU 3 is fine, but if I want to listen to headphones on the Fire HD Box, I use my Bluetooth phones since the Fire HD Box is equipped for it, as well as a Bluetooth keyboard. Somewhere I thought I read that ROKU 3 comes with voice search too. However, this does not apply to the ROKU 3 box I received. I like and use this feature a lot with the FIre HD. Don't get me wrong, the ROKU 3 has some nice features that are good, but I can watch Revain Prime, Netflix and listen to my Revain music in much better quality than on the ROKU 3's box. Some people reading this , could say that maybe the quality issues could be related to my internet connection, but I don't think it's the case. I'm on a COX with a fast A/C router and connected directly to a ROKU 3 box with CAT 5 - almost as fast as a home router. The picture and sound quality is acceptable, but not comparable to the Fire HD Box, which I have in the WLAN without any problems. Maybe I got a bad pack of ROKU 3. But I doubt it. I'd rather keep my Fire HD box. I am still considering returning this product. I'll add more later when I leave this box.

Pros
