Bought a Black Friday Roku off-brand TV and the sound was horrible, but the picture was amazing. Thought I would give the Roku Soundbar a try. The set-up was perfect with the audible walkthrough, once the Soundbar synced and updated it played a cinematic video, allowing you to sample the sound and make adjustments. The soundbar handled everything in the Roku menu and all-n-all it took less than 2 minutes to set up. The tone response is stunning great bass & treble control. It allows for boosted voice clarity and has 6 different modes. I used the standard with Bass at 5, treble at 7, and low clarity.

I wanted to create the 5.1 surround sound home theatre experience. This process is a bit confusing with the Roku brand audio products.I have a 75†TCL brand Roku operating system equipped smart LCD TV. With any smart TV with the Roku operating system or an actual Roku Brand TV, the process is the same.These TV models can only support 2 WIRELESS bluetooth audio devices at once. (But the SoundBar Pro, which is not wireless, can support more, read to the end…).The Roku brand WIRELESS sound bar is 1 device, a pair of Roku wireless speakers is treated like 1 device (a second set, 4 total speakers, is also an additional 1 device) and any Roku wireless subwoofer is also 1 device.You can connect 1 WIRELESS sound bar (front channels) and 1 subwoofer, no rear channels.OrYou can connect 1 pair of wireless speakers (rear channels) and 1 WIRELESS sound bar (front channels), no subwoofer.OrYou can connect 1 pair of speakers (front channels) and 1 subwoofer.But I want 5.1 surround…If you want 5.1 surround like me, you’ll need to get the Roku Sound Bar Pro (not wireless), 2 sets (4 total speakers) of Roku wireless speakers, and one of the Roku wireless subwoofers (they have two; a standard 10†and a slim subwoofer thats a 5.25â€).I have the slim version so it fits into my entertainment console and my room is appx 25’x40’ and its only on setting #3 and it rattles the room!With that configuration, all 6 speakers can be connected (Roku sound bar pro is the center channel, the 4 wireless speakers are your front left, front right, rear left, rear right, and the Roku wireless subwoofer is last.The Roku Sound Bar Pro is connected to the TV via HDMI-ARC, and acts like an A/V Receiver that all the other speakers connect directly to via BlueTooth; NOT directly to the TV itself.The sound quality is EXCELLENT and the setup process is SUPER simple, once you have the correct devices you want, based on the setup your trying to create, its a theatre sound level experience!Awesome sound quality, nice speakers, easy connections, very few wires, NO sound lag = AWESOME!All speakers have an individual power wire, so consider that when buying (my 5.1 surround setup (6 speakers) needs 6 wall outlets in different places). The Roku Sound Bar Pro is connected to the TV via 1 HDMI-ARCAll speakers come with their power wires. The Roku Sound Bar Pro also comes with an HDMI cable, a optical audio cable, and a new Roku voice remote and with remote sound via ear buds, included.I love Roku brand remotes; super simple to use, they have 2 main styles ( infrared and RF frequency) and as long as you match up the right one to your TV, they are very interchangeable and easy to pair.It really feels like Roku was trying hard to make great sound, for several customer space configurations, and a very easy setup with very few wires.They SUCCEEDED.Both the Roku WIRELESS sound bar and Roku sound bar pro sounded really great for just a sound bar only.Adding the other speaker elements I did, just raised the bar a notch higher with each speaker.Granted, Roku is a bit pricy when compared to other brands, but with the simplicity and ease of setup, plus their support…. Its a great value.

I bought my mom one of these for Christmas and I’m shocked at the sound it puts out. Nice bass and doesn’t distort the things you need to hear. Setup couldn’t be easier. I also like that you can upgrade by adding a subwoofer to it as well. You can even notice the sounds are seeming to be around you. That’s usually what you get with a $250+ soundbar. If this is your price range then I’m telling you now there is not a soundbar out there better for the same price.

I bought a Roku 50 inch TV for Christmas and, as everybody said, the sound is not really all that good on these off-brand TVs. So I bought the "matching" Roku soundbar. 1. Whoever they are who designed the TV and Soundbar should get together to make the soundbar fit under the TV. It looks cheap and stupid when placed in front of the TV and the TV blocks a lot of it if placed behind. All that would need to be done is make the legs about one inch longer. 2. The best I can say is that the soundbar is louder than the TV alone. It is definitely not any clearer. For the price I am very disappointed and wish now I had spent the money on a name brand TV.
