Like compact sound bar VizioM Series 2.1 And Yamaha SR-C20A Offer a better TV sound in a small package. 4k HDR streamers like Chrome cast with Google TV And Rocko Streaming Stick Plus Provide better streaming to any TV. However, so far, any product has attached both of them under $ 150 in a single, all -in package. This is what the Stream Bar does, and it works very good.

There is a lack of boss in movies and music
Stream Bar is running in foot of last year Rocko Smart Sound Bar With small size and more affordable price. Generally, the biggest problem with hybrid devices is that they have made a lot of compromise in an area, and while the stream bar is not easily perfect – its boss deficiency is its biggest weakness. Certainly, it has a lack of all the vof have, but even without one it can defeat your TV speaker.
Again, again, can be a lot Other Sound Bars. If you want high sound and does not need streaming, Yamaha SRC 20 or Visio V21 are better choices. The stop stream bar is cheaper than anyone, and is perfect for those who have not already got a good Stress streamer to their TV. If you want to be able Listen to your TV betterEspecially the sounds, and also enhance its streaming capabilities, this is a great value.
Editor’s Note, 3 December: Due to its performance, size and price, we are giving the Rooko Stream Bar the award for our editors as our favorite budget sound bar. Although there are new sound bars that improve the stops, they are more expensive, and no one includes video streaming on the board. This review was first published on October 14, 2020.
What is it?
The Roko Stream Bar is a 2.0 channel sound bar with side firing “wide” speakers, and the company says its ship -driven capabilities are equal. Rocko Streaming Stick Plus. System 5.1 will take action on audio, which means you can upgrade the system in later date Rocko’s Wireless Sub Woofer And Surrounded Or Special ONN product from Walmart.
Only 14 inches wide, the Stormber (right) is sown through this 55 -inch TV.
The main differences between the stream bar and the original Rock Smart Sound Bar are size and shape. The smart sound bar is 32 inches wide, while the stream bar is high in 14 inches. Although I haven’t heard both together, I can guarantee a lot that large cabinet produces more bosses.
The stream bar includes the sound remote, which allows you to talk in a clinker and issue a command. On the side, the remote includes volume control and mute. The shortcuts at the bottom include Netflix, Disney Plus and Holo.
The stream offers “simple volume methods” that “low -loud ads, promote the volume of sounds and improve the sound to listen at night” as well as adjust the boss level. This is worth considering Since I had reviewed this in October 2020 Rocko has added a series of additional sound methods, which now includes music, movie, night and speech. My goal is to test new sound profiles as soon as possible.
In touch with optical digital input and HDMI Audio Return Channel Capacity It is designed to connect to a TV and if you have other devices, such as a game console, you will need Use your TV as a switcher. Sound Bar is also equipped with Bluetooth and Spatif Connect, while Apple Airplay 2 Help is coming soon.
How does it perform
The CNET team has written in length about our experiences with Roko Streamers so I will not consider the bar streaming capabilities here. It is enough to say that this is our favorite streaming platform and the stream bar is similar. The menu was familiar and easy, the reaction speed and the quality of the image was as good as expected and it was a pleasure to use the sound as usual.
Instead, I’m going to focus on sound standards. The stream bar is mostly smaller than the sound bars, but after plugging it, I was surprised to find out how he naturally performed with the conversation. There was no chest pin on male voices – a problem with some sound bar/sub -Woofer Kambos – and the dialogue was a statement that made it easier to follow the story. I was listening to a pair ELAC Uni-FI 2.0 Speaker Immediately before the stream bar and it was easy to imagine that I was still. Given that vocal statement is the priority of the ELAC Speaker, it is probably the most appreciated that I can give to the Speaker.
Stream Bar remote can also turn your TV on and off.
Of course there were differences, almost certainly due to the small cabinet of Rao. When I compared the Stream Bar to Yamaha SRC 20, Roko’s boss deficiency or even Madbas shortage appeared immediately. With Crazy Max: Rosh Road Roko once again made the dialogue understandable, while coming from the room also shows. Rocko’s side firing speakers help to make a really big image. In contrast, Yamaha Speaker’s Virtual: X software did a good thing to distribute sound around my listening space, but when Max accelerated his charger engines, Yamaha moved forward.
Rocko is physically small that engines and screen blasts have little effect in the crazy Max. Yamah was able to better achieve the explosion and explosion that burst into the air more and more. Yamaha had a lack of ophros that would bring a dedicated all, but she was better fit for those who wanted to see more than news and dramas.
Lobby scene from Matrix Then it was and Yamaha offered further a balanced sound, with less frequency and at the end of less. Rocko, on the contrary, made a slight shock, especially with the incidence of falling bullets. Changing sound mode into a boss boost helped a little, but it was better.
Adding $ 130 ONN Sub -Woofer to Rocko helped a little bit. In the end I could hear the chewing boss score, the shotgun blasts had a greater impact, and the falling shell caseing was not pierced or disturbing. If you are looking for an easy, economic upgrade in the stream bar, ONN is recommended all the Woofer.
Raoc with music once again left behind Yamaha because of the main reason – the lack of the boss’s response. Here is not a dedicated music mode, a shame for those who want to use the stream bar to listen to the lyrics from music apps such as their phones or spatifs. Songs like Davis’s Cathedrals of the Mind hollowed out, despite his excellent sound statement, and once again Yamaha made the song more and more attractive.
Do you buy it?
If you want a real domestic cinema thrill, you still need to spend more than $ 130 on a sound bar-however, the ability to add all the Woofers and Rear Channel Speakers of Rocko gives you a clear upgrade path if you want. $ 130 Rocko Stream Bar is for people who value small size and simplicity. Still want better sound And Streaming for their TV. It is easy to connect and configure (a cable!), It is equally easy to use and its streamer behaves as a normal stop in every respect. And this is a good thing.
