Roku Streambar Pro 5.1 Speaker System Review

Roku’s StreamBar Pro combines a soundbar and built-in, full-featured, 4K HDR Roku streamer in a single, high value, high performance, high tech system for only $179.99. The StreamBar Pro has lots of appeal. The StreamBar Pro can be expanded into a full 5.1 wireless surround sound system (the configuration of our review) with Roku’s wireless speakers and Roku wireless subwoofer. Throw in some intelligent dialogue enhancement technology, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple AirPlay, and HomeKit support plus a voice-enabled remote and you have a package whose performance far exceeds its asking price.

This product is good value. I needed a new sound bar and also did not want to use my TV's built in software. This thing saves so many wires and time. The market for this may be niche with many TV's out there having Roku built in. This is a good overview, but it is odd that you did not show your set up. Would be helpful for this kind of market as someone like me does not know much about sound systems in general.

I’ve tested the Roku wireless speakers and subs. It was a pretty amazing system for its price and considering the fact that it is all wireless. It will certainly not rival a system comprised of an AV receiver and speakers, but for what it is it is quite good!

Awesome soundbar for <$200. Great review and a great Christmas gift for those who need a little extra and their TV speakers ❤️

This is a good review for what it is, it went over everything about it and even a detailed set up. We really don't need anything more serious, I don't believe it will show anything spectacular. I have heard this in real life and can say it is competitive at its price point. Kudos to Audioholics for showing things at bargain basement prices, you don't have to be rich to appreciate a better sound quality. I may have a main set up, but I also have an old Vizio 5.1 soundbar for a play room that I believe sounds amazing for $200.

how about a set up tutorial for a 5.1 setup on a roku branded tv.. thanks

This IS a review.
And the product is actually pretty helpful. For those on a budget, or who can't run wires everywhere, this is a pretty good solution; maybe Roku's best product.
That said, I can see how some might think this was sponsored. However, I would definitely trust Audioholics to disclose that, even if they were obligated to buy law.
Good video.

Hi, I know this is an old video, but I still had a question for the Roku surround sound system. If I lose Internet connection and decide to play a Blu-ray movie will I still have the capabilities of the surround sound?

Good review and overall explanation of how the system works. I was told if you already have the speakers and subwoofer installed to a roku tv then you must unpair them and hook up the soundbar first. Is this accurate?

[willytwo]

I was wondering if you know a way of playing the demo sound loop that plays when you successfully connect your surround speakers. It was pretty neat.

Roku needs a new GUI! They've been using the same 1 forever!

I’m thinking of getting this streambar to replace and old soundbar and my little Roku 3 box. But of like to also broadcast the sound to a Bluetooth speaker next to my wife that she can turn up if she needs to. I don’t want surround sound. Can this system do that?

[pabsgabs]

Who is screaming!?? I had to pause I thought it was in my house lol

[SoFRESHandSoMJ]

Will the wireless surround sound speakers work if I have the Streambar directly connected to my computer using a Toslink optical cable? For example, I have the optical cable connected from the Streambar to my computer (which has a toslink optical port on it). I want to know once I sync the wireless surround sound speakers with the Streambar, if I will still get audio output from my computer with the Streambar PLUS the surround sound speakers as well.

Sorry if this might sound confusing 😅

Where is the Audyssey MULTEQ-X tutorial you promised?

[icenet]

Kommt dieses System auch nach Europa bzw Germany

[anonamos]

When this system works, it works great. I’ve had it for years with no hardware issues. I will say if you ever get a new modem or some other internet related thing, good fuckin luck getting it all working again. Your best bet is to factory reset the soundbar and the TV.

[mrsittingmongoose]

How is this a review? This was just an ad…this is so discouraging to see from audioholics…

[rayray]

Roku give us 6 speakers lol sh*t on Sonos 😅

[MrFatmac]

Don't be fooled and spend 700 dollars like i did only 4 speakers will work on this system it disables the soundbar

[allsportsexpert]

The sound is good for the price but it is no way high quality. You get what you pay for.
