Roku Smart Soundbar & Wireless Subwoofer Review

[@jondeforge8266]

You should get Roku to send you a pair of Roku tv wireless speakers so you can do a review on how this sounds in surround sound !!

[@TooFurious4]

Me: *Searches product I'm thinking about buying on KZbin* KZbin: *Lon made a video about that product 2 weeks ago.* *EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.*

[@LonSeidman]

I am here to serve!

[@chop345]

You can add the roku wireless speakers to the mix. They will pair with the smart sound bar. There's your surround sound right there.

[@U2513]

When he reviewed this they would only pair with a roku tv not the soundbar

[@loulopez554]

I have the roku soundbar without the S.W. and it works like a charm.

[@B.Ch3rry]

An update to allow USB Ethernet jack support would be great.

[@BrettFightorFlight]

Guy has a great, clear and understandable voice!

[@santiagosalcedo7653]

I love audio tech please keep it coming, I am still using my old Logitech 5500 with THX certification.... Looking to upgrade to get atmos and dts x

[@madmax2069]

Seen this at Walmart, the first thing that happened is the subwoofer disconnected during the demo, funny as the wireless speakers Roku came out with didn't fair well either (constantly having connection issues).

[@alberto1005]

I have the wireless speakers and don't have any connection issues with them. Could've been interference with all the devices at the store.

[@madmax2069]

@@alberto1005 my friend has the wireless Roku speakers and they constantly have issues, he's on his second set, either one or both speakers would constantly disconnect. I just didn't bother, I ended up buying an SMSL AD18, Micca MB42X, and a Micca subwoofer.

[@dogazz3000yahoo]

I never had any problems I have the sound bar with the sub

[@reverbva]

Not the same. That is an Onn Roku, not as reviewed on the video. Another reviewer pointed this out.

[@MeMyselfI_69]

Love the old tech in the background

[@AG-bp3ll]

I wish Logitech would update the Z906 after all these years with HDMI audio input support. That is still my go to for budget 5.1.

[@royperson4938]

I bought this system. Was wondering can I add additional speakers. I got the soundbar 2 speakers,subwoofer. Sounds really good. But want to add more if possible.

[@larrywood1201]

roku does have, new wireless speakers you can use as back speakers

[@Durkhead]

Waiting for the onn one to go on clearance at Walmart

[@menacingtony6172]

Can you connect Roku stream bar to wireless subwoofers

[@kspencer5137]

Great Video - thank you so much!

[@ddchill7763]

What's the difference between the Walmart and Best buy version except for the price

[@reverbva]

There are Roku speakers you can connect or the sound at. Check out the website. I am curious as to whether you unlock surround mode when you add the wireless speaker (not subwoofer). Any know about this?

[@Montisaquadeis]

Vizio 5.1 Soundbar with Smartcast should work quite well for some of you guys instead of this.

[@CantankerousDave]

I was going to say the same thing. Their 36” 5.1 bar usually goes down to $150 between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

[@Montisaquadeis]

And that $150 or so will net you the Soundbar the wireless subwoofer and the 2 rear speakers for the price of the roku soundbar itself WITHOUT the wireless sub and for the price of both the soundbar and sub at $300 or less you can get a longer soundbar from vizio such as the 40" one for like $240, and for $400 you can get the 44" vizio 5.1 smartcast soundbar. I personally have an older 40" 5.1 Soundbar from them and its been solid for my bedroom.

[@capnsnaxx]

@@Montisaquadeis yeah I agree the Vizio is a much better bang for your buck. I got the 5.1.2 with Dolby atmos for $299 when it went on sale. It was definitely worth it too.

[@goetzandrew]

What about volume control? Can you change the volume a with Comcast remote like sonos?

[@LazyPCRehab]

I think not having an ethernet connection on this was a major misstep.

[@ralphmcmahan2139]

I got internet service yesterday. My roommate didn't know things could hook to the internet with wires. Was amazed my HTPC 18 inches from the router had a wire to the router. Most consumers are ignorant as hell.

[@B.Ch3rry]

An update to allow USB Ethernet jack support would be great.

[@MrGlennwhite3]

Supposedly you can add their Bluetooth speakers and make it a surround sound system.

[@MadMamluk88]

This is true. The Roku Wireless Speakers and a new set called the onn. Wireless Speakers can be used as rear surround speakers.

[@live-mm7pi]

Do you need wifi to set this up?

[@jakenoblitt25]

I’ve actually been trying for 6 hours to get the sub too work it paired once with the sound bar. Even made the noises it was supposed too went too watch somthing No sub now I can’t get it too re pair

[@dmprox]

How does the sub do with interference from WiFi? I am in an apartment building with numerous other wireless networks being broadcast. I tried a Samsung Wireless Soundbar system a while back and there was so much lag between the front and rear speakers I had to return it.

[@williampayne8980]

I've got the Roku speakers and sub in living room and the Onn Roku version in the bedroom and have no network problems with an eero mesh system. And im in a 12 unit apartment.

[@allo9582]

Seems pricey. Evan for the bundle.

[@Think_For_Yourself_]

Can you adjust the base?

[@clivemerritt]

would like to see a review for the new Nebula Fire TV soundbar if you acquire one.

[@dsongwriter9784]

Where would this fall spec wise compared to the other Roku offerings? Better or worse..or same as the Ultra?

[@LonSeidman]

I'd say it's fairly close to the Streaming Stick+ with a USB port.

[@kal-elthelast8834]

🤔What's the difference between this Roku subwoofer and speaker bar and the other Roku oon Roku speakerber and subwoofer??🎶

[@Crucio710]

What would you recommend that does have surround sound and close to this price. Walmart has the soundbar for 130 and its soooo tempting!! But im a gamer and surround sound might be a must.

[@MustafaAhmadahmadmawia]

Uhm it does have speakers that you can put behind you and if you have a Roku TV they all pair wireless'ly It's the most affordable home theatre setup on the market and it sounds amazing

[@rustythelegend2225]

Do you have to give it back

[@mrs.camillewarrenempress3115]

I am getting it's next month

[@mustang4life844]

Why....it's a waste of money u can get something better for the that price

[@CantankerousDave]

Channeling Doug Demuro pretty hard in this one.

[@jvelez5381]

Screw Doug he's a clown.

[@RWDtech]

The lack of center channel is disturbing. Most sound bars are at least 3.1

[@JRButler67]

Now they have rear speakers that connect seamlessly.

[@chrishalle1982]

They have speakers

[@khoabui7766]

This or Yamaha Yas-209??

[@capnsnaxx]

Definitely Yamaha. You will definitely get better sound from it. Besides you won't pay too much more by just getting the Yamaha and a Roku stick if that's what you want this for.

[@ralphmcmahan2139]

Looks like an engineering sample...

[@TechWithSean]

Interesting idea, but idk if I want my sound bar to go obsolete as fast as a roku...

[@kloroformd]

This comment confuses me because my Roku 3 from 6 years ago is still kickin' like it did as new. My Nexus Player isn't. Updates eventually made it unusable. Nor is my 2015 4K Samsung smart TV. It keeps losing features it shipped with over time or just not getting new things. Oh and it crashes constantly now. And ARC stopped working with my also Samsung home theater setup. Replaced the cable twice and did many factory resets. Never buying another Samsung anything. I just really want a new dumb TV.

[@AG-bp3ll]

I still have a working Roku 3. They support their devices for years and years.

[@DevilsRejection]

So there's no antenna?

[@truthseekerr22]

how could you do a review of an audio device and not actually test the sound in your video?? Did I miss something???

[@LonSeidman]

And how would that be a valid test ? Everyone is watching with their own speakers so there’s no way to convey how it sounds accurately.

[@slappymcphee]

Ugh, wireless only. Garbage for Plex 4k. Hard pass.

[@B.Ch3rry]

Slappy McPhee An update to allow USB Ethernet jack support would be great.

[@mplehmann]

Doesn’t work well at all with RokuTVs. Very poor user experience with duplicate/nested Roku interfaces and duplicate remotes that look identical and must both be used.
