Roku Wireless Speakers (Streambars TV),Black 2 Count (Pack of 1)

I figured I needed to add to this review since there have been updates to the system which changed the volume control of the surround speaker system that most of us surround speaker users do not like at all. Don't get me wrong, the system as a whole is still worth the cost and the sound quality still on par as when I originally reviewed below. The change made to control the sound, however, went from being able to adjust the sound volume by selecting from loud, louder, loudest, off, normal, which was simple, to slide controls for bass, treble, and surround volume. While the original configuration allowed us to control the loud, louder, etc. for both the sub-woofer and the surround speakers in the system setup area, these new sound adjustments are only accessable when streaming something and are accessed during the viewing by pressing the "*" button on the remote. Nobody would complain about this change if it didn't come down to the fact that it was made without explaination on how to operate under the new change. The labeling could've been a little better since the surround level setting (now a slide bar) appears like it would be to adjust the left and right channels like the old stereo slides use to do. Further muddying up the works are the video tips. None of them have been changed to reflect the updates. They still have the original details. Okay, I've vented my frustration. Don't let this rant cause you to decide not to purchase them. The whole system is well worth the price as far as I'm concerned. The surround adjustment issue came without instructions but after testing the whole procedure out, there is actually more control. But, the older I get the harder it is and the longer it takes to figure stuff out and this change was a doosy. My suggestion to Roku would be to also give us the ability to adjust within the System/Audio settings like we had before. Original post: I got tired of my old 5.1 system constantly drowning out voices or becoming drastically louder during certain scenes and commercials. No matter how I adjusted, one adjustment would kill or enhance another sound to where it just got to where I felt like I was paying more attention to adjusting the sound than what I was watching. I was a little leary about purchasing the whole Roku set, the streambar, sub-woofer, and the surround speakers, but I was glad I did because it gave me the opportunity to try each unit individually to see if I really needed them. The streambar has great sound quality with unusually good bass. Not wall shaking, window breaking, roof collapsing, bone jellifying bass, but bass that is noticible and doesn't drown out the other sounds. The sound leveling and voice enhancement features really work. They do require some adjustment and I'll get to that in a moment. After 2 days I realized the streambar was doing its job as advertised, so I installed the sub-woofer. Now this is tricky, you plug it in, and then you have to go into the streambar setup app and configure the streambar to recognize it. But there are instructions going step by step, 1, 2, 3, and it's done. And it has some boom to it. I mean real boom. You kinda have to adjust that too. But for me, it's a keeper. Again after 2 days, I decided to give the surround speakers their shot. Each speaker is bluetooth connected, there are no wires other than each one requireing an electrical outlet. Each speaker also must be setup individually, but the setup is identicle to the sub-woofer, with instructions included. The only difference here is during setup you discover which speaker goes on the left and which goes on the right. There is a test during the serup. Of course I was wrong the first time, but easily fixed. These too have separate adjustments. I see a lot of comments about the inability to not have as much control over each portion of the system as you would with most sound systems. My old system had a remote that let me adjust the back, woofer, bass boost, cinematic features, etc. In fact it was confusing at times trying to get just the right setup. Of course there would always be something different coming out of the system based on whatever I was listenting to, DVD, regular TV, music, streaming from Netflix or Hulu, etc. And I would have to readjust again. Voices were constantly being drowned out, no matter how hard I tried. The Auto/PCM/Dolby.... settings made no difference. With the Roku Streambar and friends, I really don't see a problem, in fact I appreciate the simplicity of the settings and I've found that once set to my liking, I'm done. I get sound leveling, voice enhanced, big butt bass, and nice even surround sound no matter what watching. The various sound settings aren't on the remote, they are in the Roku itself. Easy to get in the settings. The levels you get are loud, louder, loudest, off, normal, that's all I can remember off the top of my head, but you get the picture. The volume itself is handled by the remote and you can set it up to use your TV remote sound and power if you have HDMI/ARC on your TV. I do and it works. There's even a setting to turn off sound leveling, although I can't figure out why you'd want to. I tried it and it sort of messed everything up. I'm a cable cutter. Antenna TV and streaming. I'm very happy I bought the whole settup at one time and tried them out. Because I was used to surround sound from the get go I believe it's why I decided to keep them all. You may feel differently, it's all a matter of preference. The streambar does an excellent job of attempting to give you surround. Sounds do ping off the walls and behind you at various times. The surround speakers just makes sure I get all of it. My sub-woofer settings are a low. It rocks, and with a small house, the neighborhood knows when I'm watching an action movie. Expensive? For the complete system yes. But so much simpler to deal with as far as adjustments. Like I said, set once to my liking and done.

Diese Boxen sind echt Klasse. Auch wenn sie nicht günstig waren. Aber sie funktionieren einwandfrei und die blouthoseverbindung war auch sehr simpel👍👍👍👍👍👍

We do a lot of seasonal camping and I wanted better sound in my 5th wheel. I bought these Roku speakers to try out. They connected perfectly with my Roku tv through the easy setup. I am a stereo buff and I must say that these speakers are much better than I expected. I was very impressed with the bass from these small speakers and the vocals are clear. I can also AirPlay from my iPhone. I’m a happy camper! Note; These speakers only work from Roku devices. So if I want to use them at home off season I would need a Roku stick or other Roku devices connected to my non Roku tv to use these speakers.

Excelente calidad de sonido, la configuración tardó un par de minutos con el Roku streambar y no he tenido ningún tipo de problema

Worth every penny, these speakers are way better than any soundbar. I have a Bose soundbar which now I will be selling. No need for one with these speakers, unless you use these speakers for rear surround sound. Even then, it would be enough. I will not be adding the sub woofer as I find there is enough bass in these little firecrackers. Also you can add or minus bass or treble, voice enhance etc with your existing roku TV remote. So simple to set up! It walks you thru it all in about 30 seconds. I play my Spotify music thru these babies and wow! Also I am hoping Roku adds the Prime Music app to the TV soon. It is available in US but not yet Canada. That was one of my reasons for purchasing these was to listen to my Prime music thru them then come to find out it is not available in Canada yet but rumor is.. it will be soon. Either way, you can stream music thru them from other apps. Amazing sound for the price!
