    Kitchen snd Guest room got a 5 star upgrade

    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!”

    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.

    The Roku SE sound bar has truly been a game-changer. Its premium sound quality and versatility make it an outstanding choice, especially considering the price. One standout feature is the voice search capability—just press the search button, and you can instantly browse through thousands of streaming services to find exactly what you need. Plus, its compatibility with Google Home adds another layer of convenience, allowing you to control the TV with voice commands, whether it's turning it on or off, pausing or playing content, or even opening different apps. It’s a perfect addition to create a sleek and impressive tech setup.

    I purchased the Roku Streambar SE because I wanted a clearer sound when listening to dialogue. The Roku Streambar SE did not deliver. It was not any better than my TV speakers. Video was improved but audio was not.

      Hi Myles. Thanks for sharing! To fix audio issues on a Roku Streambar SE, first check that the volume is turned up, then verify your HDMI cable is securely connected to the correct HDMI ARC port on your TV, and ensure your TV audio settings are set to PCM (Stereo) instead of advanced audio formats like Dolby or DTS; if the issue persists, try restarting your Streambar, checking for software updates, or adjusting audio settings within your Roku device itself. Here's a helpful article on how to adjust audio settings: https://support.roku.com/article/360053426253. if you need help, contact us at support.roku.com/contactus. Happy Streaming!

    Easy to install, sound quality is fairly good for the size and price. Apps are fast. Great if you don’t have a smart TV already and/or don’t want to spend for a sound bar. Excellent for apartments or condos where too much volume could be an issue with neighbors. Although it can be turned up for movies or music. Plus, if you upgrade later, this is portable enough for use in second room later.

    Just know that the remote that comes with the Streambar SE is considered a “simple” remote. It “does not” turn on our very new Insignia Fire TV. It will turn it off and control the apps and sound but not turn it on. I spent over an hour trying to figure it out then another 45 minutes with Roku support for the guy finally to tell me this. Bad on you Roku for being so cheap. Sound is pretty decent we attached it to an outdoor deck TV. Light on bass but not bad volume was quite good.

    This sound bar offers excellent midrange clarity for voices. It lacks bass, but in exchange is very compact. It is an amazing value.

    Have you ever seen Baki the Grappler?

    That anime is concentrated insanity. From the wacky historical fiction nonsense, to the way muscles are drawn with such exaggeration that every character looks like a walking slots canyon. And perhaps most heinously, that a smol child could take on hundreds of adult fighters and win - sometimes with ease. I bring it up, because this smol speaker is exactly that. It's Baki the Speakler. It looks hilarious in front of my 55" TV, but it fills the whole room with better sound than I've heard in some home theaters. And you can always hear dialogue perfectly due to their AI powered enhancement thingy (good use of AI; happy ending unlocked). Easy set up, versatile in its options, and one of the most affordable products on the market. I'm recommending it to everyone looking for a soundbar.

    The Roku Streambar is an absolute game-changer, and I couldn't be happier with it. I actually got it for my parents, who are hard of hearing, hoping it would help them enjoy movies and TV shows more. The difference it's made is incredible. They used to struggle to hear dialogue and would constantly turn the TV volume up to uncomfortable levels. Now, with the Streambar, the sound is so much clearer and more direct. They can follow conversations on screen without any issues and have even said they hear sounds in shows that they've never noticed before. They keep telling me they don't know how they ever lived without it. The best part is how simple it is to use. They aren't very tech-savvy, but the setup was a breeze, and the remote is intuitive. It also combines a Roku player and a soundbar into one device, which reduces clutter and makes everything easier to manage. For anyone looking for a simple, effective solution to improve their TV's sound, especially if they or someone they love has hearing difficulties, the Roku Streambar is an amazing product. It's truly been a fantastic gift.

    I connected this to a 15.6 inch monitor using HDMI since the screen had terrible sound. I use it for watching TV and since it comes with backdrop app I can use it as a Picture frame substitute. The sound is amazing and exactly what I needed it for. The small size fits exactly as I needed it. The 5Ghz wifi is great as well.

    I have several ROKU's, and this one is the best of all of them. The ROKU performance is in my opinion, as good as the Ultra, which I have three of them. I installed the Streambar SE in my bedroom as the TV speakers in our bedroom TV are not so good. You have to turn up the volume too high to understand the voice during movies. The Streambar SE's speakers solved that issue. The sound is terrific compared to that of our TV. Voice is clear, and the other movie audio is well balanced. The overall performance of the ROKU Streambar SE is great. Sound, interface, and use is like our Ultra's. Even the Bluetooth connectivity is terrific. If I want to sleep, my wife puts on her Bluetooth headphones, and she can watch while I sleep. If you never had a ROKU and you don't have a soundbar, try this out. If you do have a ROKU, and want to improve your sound quality, this is definitely the way to go. The Streambar SE is a terrific value for the price as you get not only a high performance ROKU streaming device, you get a terrific sounding speaker/soundbar with it. All for the price of an Ultra. 5 stars from me.
