RokuStreambar SE | 2-in-1 TV Soundbar with Built-in 4K/HD/HDR Streaming, Premium Speakers, & Enhanced Speech Clarity for Crisp, Clear Dialogue - Quick Guided Simple Setup

I want to start by giving this 5 stars but with a caveat. It is a five star device as long as you understand that it's not a 5.1 surround sound system and have the appropriate expectations.The Roku Streambar SE combines the functionality of a compact soundbar with the added function of a Roku streaming device which is two great things to have in one package.First I'll talk about the device itself and some advantages. The device has a compact design that easily blends into any home entertainment setup. It doesnt take up much room below the TV like a 2 foot long sound bar would. It features a couple decent speakers that deliver clear and relatively immersive sound. Compared to just TV speakers, there is a big jump in audio quality of your movies, shows, and music. There is a noticeable amount of bass, mids, and voice clarity. But it's not going to be as good as a larger soundbar with a dedicated subwoofer.I love the Roku functionality and that it has 4K, HD, and HDR streaming capabilities versus some of the lower end Roku sticks. You get crisp and vibrant video playback. And all of the apps associated with a Roku device.Setting up the Streambar SE is straightforward with Roku's guided setup process. It integrates well with any modern TV, offering a user-friendly interface that allows quick access to a wide range of streaming channels and apps. It's much less complicated than a multi-piece soundbar.As a Roku device, the Streambar SE provides access to thousands of channels and streaming services, including popular platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+. It supports wireless connectivity, allowing you to stream content directly from your smartphone or tablet to the TV screen. This is of course the case for any Roku device.The Price is extremely competitive at netween 80 and a 100 bucks. You get a lot of value for anyone looking for an easy upgrade their TV's sound quality while gaining access to a versatile streaming device. I keep stating this but having both in one device is very beneficial.Overall, The Roku Streambar SE is an ideal choice for anyone seeking to improve their TV's audio performance and streaming. Itbhas a very compact design, decent enough sound quality, and a great Roku interface. it's a great device that caters to someone looking for a simple upgrade, someone with limited space, or someone that just wants better sound and doesn't need theater surround sound, which is probably a large amount of people.A side note. This is a relatively new model. There is a larger model that slots above it if you want to increase the sound quality. You can also add a subwoofer to this for extra cost which would improve the bass response. It's nice to have the flexibility.

Volume control is amazing, isn’t as perfect as a full surround sound but definitely works for budget. Easy setup, connectivity is easy and so one. Comes with its own remote so i don’t need to use the tv remote either to select channels or apps on my Roku tv and overall functionality is great. Both heat and freeze resistance. App selection is easy as well.

I got this because my TV’s tiny speakers were slowly failing. They were never great, but they were acceptable for my small space. This streambar has been a total change to watching tv. I was initially looking for a streaming system to replace my TVs reinstalled junky software. I had a ROKU player in the bedroom that was great, so I was looking at ROKU. I had previously looked at other sound bars but hookup to this tv was kinda iffy with good and bad points. I decided on this system after using the compatibility checker - tv maker and model and it tells if it works on your tv. Brilliant.Setup was fast and easy. I haven’t had any problems with it staying connected to my wifi. The sound is absolutely amazing. It’s not audiophile level, but it’s louder, clearer, and perfect if you aren’t all that into absolute perfection with sound. I’m tickled pink with this set up. I’ve run it up to full blast (100), just to see how it performs. Incredibly loud without any crackling, breakup, or other things you get with full volume. Most of the time it’s at 25-30 (or lower) for most viewing. One big thing I’ve noticed with the ROKU streaming is the tv doesn’t ever buffer like it used to on the TVs built in streaming setup. It was almost a constant daily occurrence. And the ROKU remote turns both the tv and ROKU off with one button. I did have to set up the tv separately from the ROKU. Because the tv is IR and the ROKU is radio (?) they are separate systems…but once it’s set up (easy to do) the one button does on/off for both.It’s been a couple of months now, and I’m still in awe of the quality of the sound, picture quality, and ease of use of the ROKU system.Highly recommend this streambar.

Great and affordable alternative as compared to a more expensive soundbar. This is especially useful if you watch streaming apps. It even silences especially loud commercials and ads. You meed to keep your old remote if you want to play your game system and have it use the same audio source. Other than that it is pretty user friendly.

Perfect choice for our projector. I did lots of research on ways I could improve our projector experience without breaking the bank after our wireless speaker went out and i stumbled across the Roku sound bar. It’s so easy to use, the sound is great and now i have less remotes and less items to deal with. Also another problem i was running into was that my streaming sticks would get out with projectors and that problem has also gone away. I’ve been using the sound bar for a couple of months now and still completely happy with this purchase.

The media could not be loaded. The Roku Streambar SE is an impressive mini soundbar that truly enhances your TV entertainment experience. It’s the perfect size for 32” to 43” 4K Smart TVs and offers the added advantage of Roku TV along with access to all your favorite streaming apps. This all-in-one device fits perfectly in bedrooms, small apartments, or studios thanks to its compact and stylish slim design that doesn’t take up much space.Despite its small size, it delivers rich sound that makes you feel like you have a home theater right in your room. At a reasonable price, this soundbar is definitely worth it. I highly recommend the Roku Streambar SE for anyone looking to upgrade their TV audio without taking up extra space.
