    Great Until it Wasn't!

    Worked great for the first 5 days and on the 6th day it failed with no sound emitting from the speakers. Tried a full reboot which failed to bring back the sound. Next up a factory reset which also failed to restore the sound function. Returned for a full refund after that. It worked great before the sound failure, I guess I just got a bad unit.

    If your TV doesn't have the available hook ups it's not something that you can utilize. The Speaker isn't what we were hoping for in addition to not being able to utilize this unit. Disappointed & we have returned it. (Roku on the other hand is an awesome product, without the Speaker)

    Won’t Support TV Audio

    Worked fine With Roku but the moment I switched to my TV there was zero audio. I kept trying to watch VIVO or anything else on my Samsung TV but the audio would only come up when I switched to Roku. Regardless, the Roku interface and offerings are dated; I’m going to return this product and just switch to streaming on my Samsung Smart TV. I’ll find another soundbar. Unfortunate, as the shape and setup of the Roku bar was otherwise superior.

      Hi Sarah, help has arrived! To set up the Strembar as a TV speaker, please follow these steps for the wiring. Use the HDMI port labeled "ARC" on your SAMSUNG TV. If your TV does not have an ARC port, you can use the included HDMI cable as well as the optical cable. For more information, please refer to this link: https://support.roku.com/article/360053183393. If you need further assistance, let us know at http://support.roku.com/contactus to get in touch with our skilled support representatives. Thanks! Elmer, Roku Customer advocate roku

      Hi Ricardo, thank you for sharing your experience. To resolve the Roku Streambar issue of turning off, ensure it is plugged directly into a wall outlet with the correct power adapter and cables, as insufficient power is a common cause. If the problem persists, try disabling the Bandwidth Saver in the system settings. For guidance, refer to this link: https://support.roku.com/article/360037927713. If the issue continues, perform a system restart or factory reset found in the system settings. You can use this link for reference: https://support.roku.com/article/208757008. If none of these work, please let us know at http://support.roku.com/contactus. Thanks! Elmer, Roku Customer Advocate roku

    Roku Stream Bar 2024 purchase/use

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This makes watching television easy and enjoyable. The remote is very easy to use, the sound comes through really well. I do not have many different cables, places to plug in or unplug to get my TV and sound going. It’s all right there in the Roku stream bar—One. Stop. Shopping. That’s why I purchased it after checking out 3 other types of sound bars. I’m very happy, and I bet I keep on being happy because it’s easy and simple.

    Good quantity hardware. I'm using it mainly to stream, its not as straightforward as a chromecast but once you get used to it it works just fine. Sound quality is very nice and crisp.

    No "DOGHOUSE" for me! Bought this for the wife to go along with her new ROKU Tv and she loves it. Smaller than I thought it would be but puts out terrific sound. And here's the kicker, she can pair it to her iPods and watch at night at any volume she desires. Not at all dissapointed and my expectations were exceeded, BIGTIME!

    Good for improving dialogue clarity

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this specifically to improve the sound when I watch Wicked (I am otherwise happy with the native audio on my television). This soundbar was easy to set up and does improve dialogue but does nothing for music, in fact the quality may even be worse. I can't give it a bad rating, as it is an overall good value, but I am personally disappointed in it. I will move it to another TV and buy something different for the main television in my home.

    This is 100% worth buying! I live in an apartment and I just wanted a cheap soundbar for my bedroom. I got more value than I expected. There are different sound settings, you can connect it to your alexa. It is honestly great
