Roku Wireless Speakers (for Roku Streambars or Roku TV),Black 2 Count (Pack of 1)

I figured I needed to add to this review since there have been updates to the system which changed the volume control of the surround speaker system that most of us surround speaker users do not like at all. Don't get me wrong, the system as a whole is still worth the cost and the sound quality still on par as when I originally reviewed below. The change made to control the sound, however, went from being able to adjust the sound volume by selecting from loud, louder, loudest, off, normal, which was simple, to slide controls for bass, treble, and surround volume. While the original configuration allowed us to control the loud, louder, etc. for both the sub-woofer and the surround speakers in the system setup area, these new sound adjustments are only accessable when streaming something and are accessed during the viewing by pressing the "*" button on the remote. Nobody would complain about this change if it didn't come down to the fact that it was made without explaination on how to operate under the new change. The labeling could've been a little better since the surround level setting (now a slide bar) appears like it would be to adjust the left and right channels like the old stereo slides use to do. Further muddying up the works are the video tips. None of them have been changed to reflect the updates. They still have the original details. Okay, I've vented my frustration. Don't let this rant cause you to decide not to purchase them. The whole system is well worth the price as far as I'm concerned. The surround adjustment issue came without instructions but after testing the whole procedure out, there is actually more control. But, the older I get the harder it is and the longer it takes to figure stuff out and this change was a doosy. My suggestion to Roku would be to also give us the ability to adjust within the System/Audio settings like we had before.Original post:I got tired of my old 5.1 system constantly drowning out voices or becoming drastically louder during certain scenes and commercials. No matter how I adjusted, one adjustment would kill or enhance another sound to where it just got to where I felt like I was paying more attention to adjusting the sound than what I was watching. I was a little leary about purchasing the whole Roku set, the streambar, sub-woofer, and the surround speakers, but I was glad I did because it gave me the opportunity to try each unit individually to see if I really needed them. The streambar has great sound quality with unusually good bass. Not wall shaking, window breaking, roof collapsing, bone jellifying bass, but bass that is noticible and doesn't drown out the other sounds. The sound leveling and voice enhancement features really work. They do require some adjustment and I'll get to that in a moment.After 2 days I realized the streambar was doing its job as advertised, so I installed the sub-woofer. Now this is tricky, you plug it in, and then you have to go into the streambar setup app and configure the streambar to recognize it. But there are instructions going step by step, 1, 2, 3, and it's done. And it has some boom to it. I mean real boom. You kinda have to adjust that too. But for me, it's a keeper.Again after 2 days, I decided to give the surround speakers their shot. Each speaker is bluetooth connected, there are no wires other than each one requireing an electrical outlet. Each speaker also must be setup individually, but the setup is identicle to the sub-woofer, with instructions included. The only difference here is during setup you discover which speaker goes on the left and which goes on the right. There is a test during the serup. Of course I was wrong the first time, but easily fixed. These too have separate adjustments.I see a lot of comments about the inability to not have as much control over each portion of the system as you would with most sound systems. My old system had a remote that let me adjust the back, woofer, bass boost, cinematic features, etc. In fact it was confusing at times trying to get just the right setup. Of course there would always be something different coming out of the system based on whatever I was listenting to, DVD, regular TV, music, streaming from Netflix or Hulu, etc. And I would have to readjust again. Voices were constantly being drowned out, no matter how hard I tried. The Auto/PCM/Dolby.... settings made no difference.With the Roku Streambar and friends, I really don't see a problem, in fact I appreciate the simplicity of the settings and I've found that once set to my liking, I'm done. I get sound leveling, voice enhanced, big butt bass, and nice even surround sound no matter what watching. The various sound settings aren't on the remote, they are in the Roku itself. Easy to get in the settings. The levels you get are loud, louder, loudest, off, normal, that's all I can remember off the top of my head, but you get the picture. The volume itself is handled by the remote and you can set it up to use your TV remote sound and power if you have HDMI/ARC on your TV. I do and it works. There's even a setting to turn off sound leveling, although I can't figure out why you'd want to. I tried it and it sort of messed everything up.I'm a cable cutter. Antenna TV and streaming. I'm very happy I bought the whole settup at one time and tried them out. Because I was used to surround sound from the get go I believe it's why I decided to keep them all. You may feel differently, it's all a matter of preference. The streambar does an excellent job of attempting to give you surround. Sounds do ping off the walls and behind you at various times. The surround speakers just makes sure I get all of it. My sub-woofer settings are a low. It rocks, and with a small house, the neighborhood knows when I'm watching an action movie.Expensive? For the complete system yes. But so much simpler to deal with as far as adjustments. Like I said, set once to my liking and done.

3rd set I have, only using these for the 3rd setup, others have the sub as well. Even without the sub these things are absolutely amazing. I am an old school autophile and have had some 20k$ setups in the past, while these are not that, they sure do make me think I wasted lot of money in the past chasing that extra 1%...

I am honestly super happy and impressed with the design, the price and quality of sound those two speakers provide! Even my 23 year old son who came to visit a few weeks ago asked me where I had gotten them from! As long as you have a Roku TV you will not be disappointed!!!!!! 2 thumbs up for sure!!!!

works as it should. I specifically bought it for my aging mother and father so the speakers could be across the room from the tv and next to where they sit. It was nice to not have to run a wire across the floor from tv to speakers. They now no longer have to have the tv up so loud I can hear it two rooms away. The voice and audio comes thru clear and the speakers are right next to where they sit to watch tv. NICE.

When paired with the Roku streambar and subwoofer, you turn your living room into a movie theater. The sounds are incredible to the point where I feel like I’m in the show/movie. The speakers create great surround sounds.The setup was painless and seamless. Took about a few minutes to set everything up. Highly recommend for any tv. You will have an incredible setup.

Great sounding speakers. I originally bought them to create a surround sound system with the Roku soundbar and subwoofer but the system would not let me do it. I attached them to another tv and Wow! Big sound for their size and can placed anywhere with a power source. I highly recommend these if you’re not looking for a sound bar.

The speakers arrived today. They were so easy to install. Just plug them in, and turn the Ruku tv on, press the house button for 5 sec, then click speakers then wireless, Then just wait for them to pair i pressed the pair button on the speakers also. The sound out of them is great for us. In the trailer can get hard to hear the tv over the AC unit

Truly excellent sound, not too difficult to set up, might cause some bugginess in the operation of the Roku TV.I got these speakers as a prelude to buying a Roku subwoofer for my Roku TV, but now I don't think I need a subwoofer. I'm really happy with the quality of sound.However, after installing and setting up the speakers, I noticed that the TV occasionally freezes or has some latency with the controls.(btw, don't stop setting up the speakers in the middle of the process, because you'll end up having to reset them and start over)I'm not sure if those issues are because the TV is about 6 years old, or if it's because the speakers themselves cause communication issues. But I'm more than willing to deal with the occasional bug, because good sound is important to me, and that's exactly what these speakers deliver.5 stars because I'm not sure if the age of the TV or my new Internet service is causing the issue, and I'm VERY happy with the performance of these speakers. Whether I'm watching movies or playing video games, they're a massive improvement over the TV speakers. Highly recommend.
