Roku - Streambar SE | 2-in-1 TV Soundbar and 4K HDR Streaming Device, Premium Speakers, & Enhanced Speech Clarity - Black

I picked up a couple of Roku Streambars SE thinking they would just give a bit of a boost to my TV’s sound. Turns out, it’s like my whole entertainment system went from tin can radio to mini home theater! Not only is the audio now clear and rich, but it fills the guest room like magic. It’s like Dolby surround sound and a Roku made a baby, and it was worth every penny! Setting it up was ridiculously easy – plug in, connect WiFi, and bam, instant upgrade. It’s like my TV finally got the ‘glow-up’ it’s been waiting for. If you’re looking to boost sound and upgrade your streaming, do yourself a favor and grab this little powerhouse. It’s a lot of punch in a compact package – the guest room and kitchen TVs have never sounded or looked better!”

This Roku device was very easy to set up and it has excellent sound, much better than the speakers on the flat panel TV that it runs on. The device actually blends right into the base that we have foe the TV. Even without that it is compact. I would actually consider replacing the old Roku device on the other TV that we have with this device for the sound upgrade alone.

Have a 15-year-old Toshiba LCD with failing sound and was streaming through my game console which was starting to not work well with my usual apps. The streambar solved both issues handily for the same price as most other HD streaming hardware. I'm not an audiophile, but the audio quality seems great to me. Setup was simple, with account creation being the biggest time sink. I do wish the included power cord was longer. Otherwise, no complaints after a couple weeks of use.

I replaced all of my soundbars and converted my tv platforms in one shot. It improves and enhances the sound as well as giving more options for tv viewing.

I would like to give this 5 stars, but it's not quite perfect. Pros- Small package for amount of sound. Easy Roku setup with account. OK, bass and volume. Cons - No mounting bracket options or holes of any kind. HDMI/CES control is nice, but if you want sound from another source, you have to go thru the tv settings and disable the amplifier every time. It comes back on when you switch back to the Roku input. This may be more of a TV issue but still annoying.
