Review on πŸ“Ί Roku Streambar Pro: 4K/HD/HDR Media Player with Cinematic Sound and Roku Voice Remote by Paul Martindale

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy tuning and bass to bang your fill

Clear speech and great-sounding movies with just one soundbar. Great sound for movies after adding a subwoofer. You're certainly missing out if you're comparing this to a Dolby 5.1 surround sound system, but you can't beat the quality, delivered through the ease of setup and competitive cost compared to other mid-range soundbars. Roku is by far the best in terms of user interface and combined app support. Disney+, Netflix, Prime, AppleTV and Google Play? Yes, please. To set up the subwoofer, simply connect the power, press and hold the home button on the remote, select "Subwoofer" and press "Next". Tip: Keep your ear away from the subwoofer during tuning. The demo sound will make your fills shake when enabled. The soundbar replaces your TV's speakers if you have eARC or are using optical return. My 8 year old Samsung with Anynet+ (regular HDMI) and optical return works just as well as my new Samsung TV (eARC HDMI). Roku comes with all the cables you need to hook it up anyway. Surprisingly, both settings are easily controlled using your TV remote or Roku remote. Audio from each TV input comes through the soundbar, which is great for our home's video gaming setup. I bought a soundbar and subwoofer to use with each of my two TVs and am very happy with the purchase. . Thanks to the purity of the sound, we can listen to programs quieter when the kids are asleep or watch movies when we want to tidy up the house. Highly recommended!
