Roku - Streaming Stick® 4K (2021) Streaming Device 4K/HDR/ Dolby Vision with Roku Voice Remote and TV Controls - Black

I gave this 4 stars for two reasons. There is no way to attach ear phones and my old ROKU did. The volume and the mute bottoms are too close. I’m constantly hitting the mute button when I want to adjust the column.

This is the stick tv you need. Now it comes with Dolby Vision and all the apps an tv channels you love. I connected it to my Onkyo TX-NR696 and works perfectly. I highly recommend this product and for $30 it's a stealung. Buy or die.

One of the best media players unlike the fire stick the Roku player has its own channel and completely free no subscription and tv shows and movies are up to date and awesome as well as its own Roku contents only

Great Product, makes a regular tv a smart tv. Constantly updates. Smart TVs are overrated! Save you some money, get a Roku!

I purchased this during a black Friday sale and must say that for the price ($29.99 when purchased) this is an amazing value. I bought this to replace an aging 2017 era Roku Premiere 4K (non HDR version) which was starting to feel sluggish and not as responsive as it once did. The Streaming Stick 4K is much more compact (a dongle versus a countertop box) and can be plugged directly into the HDMI port so you don't even need an HDMI cable to use it. Having said that, I needed an HDMI extender cable, which is not included in the package. Roku does offer you that you can order one for free though, but if you ask me they should have just included it in the box. Other than that minor gripe, this is a really great value for the money, even at it's $49.99 retail price. Do try and get it though when on sale as the value is just way better. Speaking of features and usability the Streaming Stick 4K offers the updated Roku enhanced remote (the mid tier model, aka the one without the always on mic and rechargeable battery) which can also control the power and volume controls on your TV. This is great because on one of the televisions I have uses the Roku as a pseudo cable box (we have Spectrum and use the Roku app) so not having to look for and use multiple remotes to control the TV is pretty nice. The UI is typical Roku, so if you've used a Roku in the past it's pretty much the same as before (NOT a bad thing!). If this is your first time using Roku just know the UI is pretty basic but again, that can be a good thing, especially for folks who may not be tech savvy. All in all I'm giving this Roku 5 stars because of it's value overall. It's a typical Roku experience but for the money it's tough competition for the likes of Apple TV (of which I also own), especially when you can get the Apple TV+ app on Roku. If you're looking for a streaming box/stick and are on a budget you can't go wrong with Roku!

As Roku constantly tells you, it just works. Easy setup, easy for beginning cord cutters to pick up. Would be nice to see a visual upgrade to the UI, but rock solid as always. Steady connection to the internet, remote is comfortable in your hand. 4K picture is crisp and has no issues with Atmos as promised. Now if they can just play nice with Google for YouTube and YouTube TV we'd be set.

Bought this to replace one from 3-4 years ago. That one was so slow loading that I couldn't take it anymore. Bought this thing and it's lightening fast from turn on to playing a show. That was the main the reason for the purchase, but the other 2 features that make this thing so great are 1) it's got the bluetooth connection vs RF or whatever was used in previous versions. You don't have to aim this thing directly at the receiver to use it, which was sometimes a real pain in the butt in our living room situation. Sounds like a minor thing, but can't tell you how great it is not to be leaning and getting my aim directly correct in order to change a channel. 2) This one has the TV controls on it. No longer need my 2nd (TV) remote to turn it on and control the volume. Pretty handy and nice to not have that extra remote laying around. Great purchase and happy about the upgrades from previous models!

I have an older Smart TV that didn't have the streaming app I subscribed to so I shopped around and found Roku. If your older TV doesn't have the app you are looking for this device does and many more streaming apps. You can have ALL your steaming apps in one device controlled by one remote control device. Easy to install, plug in the Roku into your TV (uses an HDMI and USB port), log in and start streaming. I had the previous version of this Streaming Stick and saw the that there was a new version out and on Sale, so I bought it to install on another TV I have. I'm not techy enough to tell you all the stuff it can do, but it does check your screen resolution to give you the best quality stream for you TV. The biggest difference I noticed was that it loads up faster than the previous version. I used to walk in the house, start up Roku and start bringing stuff into the house, buy the first trip it was running. Now I start up Roku and don't have time to go bring in stuff into the house.
