Seen this at Walmart, the first thing that happened is the subwoofer disconnected during the demo, funny as the wireless speakers Roku came out with didn't fair well either (constantly having connection issues).
@@alberto1005 my friend has the wireless Roku speakers and they constantly have issues, he's on his second set, either one or both speakers would constantly disconnect. I just didn't bother, I ended up buying an SMSL AD18, Micca MB42X, and a Micca subwoofer.
I bought this system. Was wondering can I add additional speakers. I got the soundbar 2 speakers,subwoofer. Sounds really good. But want to add more if possible.
And that $150 or so will net you the Soundbar the wireless subwoofer and the 2 rear speakers for the price of the roku soundbar itself WITHOUT the wireless sub and for the price of both the soundbar and sub at $300 or less you can get a longer soundbar from vizio such as the 40" one for like $240, and for $400 you can get the 44" vizio 5.1 smartcast soundbar. I personally have an older 40" 5.1 Soundbar from them and its been solid for my bedroom.
@@Montisaquadeis yeah I agree the Vizio is a much better bang for your buck. I got the 5.1.2 with Dolby atmos for $299 when it went on sale. It was definitely worth it too.
I got internet service yesterday. My roommate didn't know things could hook to the internet with wires. Was amazed my HTPC 18 inches from the router had a wire to the router. Most consumers are ignorant as hell.
There are Roku speakers you can connect or the sound at. Check out the website. I am curious as to whether you unlock surround mode when you add the wireless speaker (not subwoofer). Any know about this?
I’ve actually been trying for 6 hours to get the sub too work it paired once with the sound bar. Even made the noises it was supposed too went too watch somthing No sub now I can’t get it too re pair
How does the sub do with interference from WiFi? I am in an apartment building with numerous other wireless networks being broadcast. I tried a Samsung Wireless Soundbar system a while back and there was so much lag between the front and rear speakers I had to return it.
I've got the Roku speakers and sub in living room and the Onn Roku version in the bedroom and have no network problems with an eero mesh system. And im in a 12 unit apartment.
What would you recommend that does have surround sound and close to this price. Walmart has the soundbar for 130 and its soooo tempting!! But im a gamer and surround sound might be a must.
Uhm it does have speakers that you can put behind you and if you have a Roku TV they all pair wireless'ly It's the most affordable home theatre setup on the market and it sounds amazing
This comment confuses me because my Roku 3 from 6 years ago is still kickin' like it did as new. My Nexus Player isn't. Updates eventually made it unusable. Nor is my 2015 4K Samsung smart TV. It keeps losing features it shipped with over time or just not getting new things. Oh and it crashes constantly now. And ARC stopped working with my also Samsung home theater setup. Replaced the cable twice and did many factory resets. Never buying another Samsung anything. I just really want a new dumb TV.
Definitely Yamaha. You will definitely get better sound from it. Besides you won't pay too much more by just getting the Yamaha and a Roku stick if that's what you want this for.
Doesn’t work well at all with RokuTVs. Very poor user experience with duplicate/nested Roku interfaces and duplicate remotes that look identical and must both be used.

You should get Roku to send you a pair of Roku tv wireless speakers so you can do a review on how this sounds in surround sound !!
Me: *Searches product I'm thinking about buying on TH-cam*
TH-cam: *Lon made a video about that product 2 weeks ago.*
*EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.*
I am here to serve!
You can add the roku wireless speakers to the mix. They will pair with the smart sound bar. There's your surround sound right there.
When he reviewed this they would only pair with a roku tv not the soundbar
An update to allow USB Ethernet jack support would be great.
I have the roku soundbar without the S.W. and it works like a charm.
Guy has a great, clear and understandable voice!
I love audio tech please keep it coming, I am still using my old Logitech 5500 with THX certification.... Looking to upgrade to get atmos and dts x

I have the wireless speakers and don't have any connection issues with them. Could've been interference with all the devices at the store.

I never had any problems I have the sound bar with the sub
Not the same. That is an Onn Roku, not as reviewed on the video. Another reviewer pointed this out.
I wish Logitech would update the Z906 after all these years with HDMI audio input support. That is still my go to for budget 5.1.
Love the old tech in the background
roku does have, new wireless speakers you can use as back speakers
Waiting for the onn one to go on clearance at Walmart
I bought this system. Was wondering can I add additional speakers. I got the soundbar 2 speakers,subwoofer. Sounds really good. But want to add more if possible.
Vizio 5.1 Soundbar with Smartcast should work quite well for some of you guys instead of this.
I was going to say the same thing. Their 36” 5.1 bar usually goes down to $150 between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
And that $150 or so will net you the Soundbar the wireless subwoofer and the 2 rear speakers for the price of the roku soundbar itself WITHOUT the wireless sub and for the price of both the soundbar and sub at $300 or less you can get a longer soundbar from vizio such as the 40" one for like $240, and for $400 you can get the 44" vizio 5.1 smartcast soundbar.

Supposedly you can add their Bluetooth speakers and make it a surround sound system.
This is true. The Roku Wireless Speakers and a new set called the onn. Wireless Speakers can be used as rear surround speakers.
I think not having an ethernet connection on this was a major misstep.
I got internet service yesterday. My roommate didn't know things could hook to the internet with wires. Was amazed my HTPC 18 inches from the router had a wire to the router.

Can you connect Roku stream bar to wireless subwoofers
What's the difference between the Walmart and Best buy version except for the price
would like to see a review for the new Nebula Fire TV soundbar if you acquire one.
There are Roku speakers you can connect or the sound at. Check out the website. I am curious as to whether you unlock surround mode when you add the wireless speaker (not subwoofer). Any know about this?
Great Video - thank you so much!
What about volume control? Can you change the volume a with Comcast remote like sonos?
Seems pricey. Evan for the bundle.
Channeling Doug Demuro pretty hard in this one.
Screw Doug he's a clown.
Do you need wifi to set this up?
I’ve actually been trying for 6 hours to get the sub too work it paired once with the sound bar. Even made the noises it was supposed too went too watch somthing No sub now I can’t get it too re pair
Where would this fall spec wise compared to the other Roku offerings? Better or worse..or same as the Ultra?
I'd say it's fairly close to the Streaming Stick+ with a USB port.
Can you adjust the base?
How does the sub do with interference from WiFi? I am in an apartment building with numerous other wireless networks being broadcast. I tried a Samsung Wireless Soundbar system a while back and there was so much lag between the front and rear speakers I had to return it.

Uhm it does have speakers that you can put behind you and if you have a Roku TV they all pair wireless'ly It's the most affordable home theatre setup on the market and it sounds amazing
Now they have rear speakers that connect seamlessly.
🤔What's the difference between this Roku subwoofer and speaker bar and the other Roku oon Roku speakerber and subwoofer??🎶
The lack of center channel is disturbing. Most sound bars are at least 3.1
I am getting it's next month
Why....it's a waste of money u can get something better for the that price
They have speakers
Do you have to give it back
Looks like an engineering sample...
how could you do a review of an audio device and not actually test the sound in your video?? Did I miss something???
And how would that be a valid test ? Everyone is watching with their own speakers so there’s no way to convey how it sounds accurately.
Interesting idea, but idk if I want my sound bar to go obsolete as fast as a roku...

I just really want a new dumb TV.
I still have a working Roku 3. They support their devices for years and years.
This or Yamaha Yas-209??
Definitely Yamaha. You will definitely get better sound from it. Besides you won't pay too much more by just getting the Yamaha and a Roku stick if that's what you want this for.
So there's no antenna?
Ugh, wireless only. Garbage for Plex 4k. Hard pass.
