In that sense, it’s something we can wholeheartedly recommend. Roku Streambar Pro is the ultimate 2-in-1 entertainment upgrade with cinematic sound and powerful streaming for any TV. It doesn’t quite make the five-star grade but does nail those aspects for which it is most commonly going to be used: projection and clarity.įor an out-of-the-box boost to TV audio and older sets’ smart features, the Roku Streambar is extremely low risk for this price. If you think of the Roku Streambar as an upgrade on your TV, rather than an entry into proper home cinema, then it ticks pretty much every box. It isn’t incredibly sophisticated in terms of timing or effusive dynamics, but it still delivers music direct to its audience and without much that would have you clamouring for a similarly priced wireless speaker.

Using the Streambar as a Bluetooth speaker backs this up. Perfect, in that sense, if someone in the family needs things louder than others – at least you won’t all have tinnitus by the end of the evening.

There’s decent clarity, and a solid balance devoid of any rough or sharp edges allows you to turn the Streambar right up without hurting your ears. It isn’t hugely dynamic or spacious, in the way you might expect from dedicated soundbars twice or three times the price, but fundamentally it projects voices well and with a decent amount of detail for this money. And that relates to the Streambar’s sonic performance, too. It asks for payment details to make renting and buying content faster later on, but it is so straightforward even the most technophobic user will arrive at the home screen soon enough. Roku also boasts a super simple set-up procedure. As ever, using the most natural, direct settings offers up the best all-round audio performance, but the Streambar is very much a tool and anything that helps make your TV sound more easily audible is a considerable bonus. You can experiment with the sound settings, too, which can automatically quieten loud adverts as well as provide the usual voice and bass boosts. All the cables and batteries are supplied, so you can always play around with what works best for you. Pair them with Roku’s Smart Soundbar (180) and wireless subwoofer (also 180), and you can create a 5.1-channel surround sound system and control it through Roku’s built-in streaming TV software.
