![]() However, once we dove into the Roku Streambar Pro, this menagerie was much less impressive. ![]() Honestly, we give Roku a 10 out of 10 for this presentation because it sends you through a suite of sounds to immediately demonstrate the soundbar's range. Right after the setup phase, Roku blasts you with the full effects of the Roku Streambar Pro by giving you a taste of different sounds, including two high-horsepower vehicles racing along a two-lane road, dancers performing to EDM beats, and exotic animals making their most notable noises (note the tiger above, and no, he wasn’t saying, “This soundbar is gr-r-reat!”). Our Experience With the Roku Streambar Pro Roku Streambar Pro sound test with tiger roar As with other Roku devices, you will have to pair the remote, set up your account, and apply the initial updates before you can really get started, but you get the gist. Voila! You’re ready to start streaming and blaring music at inappropriate times of the day. Simply find the final resting place for your streambar, connect your HDMI to the soundbar and the TV, and plug in your power cord. Setting up the Roku Streambar Pro was as easy as any other Roku streaming device. For those handier than us, the Roku Streambar Pro also includes holes in the back that allow you to mount it directly to the wall (though the mounting equipment is sold separately). This meant we could set it easily in our entertainment center without fear of dire consequences if we wanted to adjust it later. At only 5.5 pounds, the device is as light as a designer Chihuahua (and as loud as one too). Roku Streambar Pro portsĪt first glance, the Roku Streambar Pro may seem somewhat intimidating by its sheer size, but looks can be deceiving. Some of the biggest brands in sound sometimes don’t even include this cable in an attempt to save on cost. Even though the new HDMI 2.0 standard is undoubtedly a better option overall for high-quality audio, some audio enthusiasts still prefer an optical cable connection. While we’ve come to expect Roku to package all these pieces into one box, we were delighted to find that Roku also threw in the optical cable. The box comes packed with everything you need to start streaming and playing music way too loud, including the soundbar, the Roku Voice Remote Pro (headphones and batteries included), a premium high-speed HDMI cable, an optical cable, and a power cable. Opening the Roku Streambar Pro is like unwrapping an elaborate gift on Christmas morning. Unboxing and Setup Unboxing the Roku Streambar Pro
