TCL Roku TV Alto R1 Wireless Soundbar Review: It’s So Easy

TCL Roku TV Alto R1 wireless soundbar

TCL Roku TV Alto R1 Wireless Soundba

RRP $ 179.00

"Roku and TCL are teaming up to make the sound of your Roku TV a simple plug-and-play experience."

advantages

  • Easy setup with just one cable

  • No additional remote controls required

  • Good audio quality

  • The voice enhancement and volume control features are nice

disadvantage

  • No Dolby Atmos

  • Only works with Roku-enabled TVs

  • No audio input connectors

When building a home theater, one of the first things you can do after choosing a TV is adding a sound system. One of the easiest ways to do this is to buy one of the best sound bars out there. Let's face it, the built-in speakers in TVs won't fill the space and will help you immerse yourself in your favorite movies. Roku knows this and is committed to enhancing your audio experience while keeping setup simple. At CES 2021 in January, Roku announced a partnership with TCL to launch a wireless soundbar for Roku-enabled TVs.

The new Alt R1 is the result.

This new soundbar is designed to work seamlessly with Roku TVs and is virtually effortless to set up. Where more home theater sound systems as a bare minimum require connecting a cable to your TV – the only cable needed to set up the Alto R1 is the one that supplies power. Part of the special sauce that makes this minimalist approach possible is Roku's proprietary Wi-Fi audio streaming technology. What sounds good in theory, how does it look in reality? Follow me and I will answer exactly that question.

Can it really be that simple?

Unpacking the Alto R1 Soundbar only includes the 31.5-inch speaker, wall-mounting hardware, papers, and a power cord. No additional cables are included as none are required as the only connector on the soundbar is for the power cable.

My skepticism grew when I began to think that pairing the soundbar with the TV couldn't be that easy. So I turned on my 65-inch TCL Roku TV and plugged the Alto R1 into the wall socket. To pair the soundbar with the TV, press and hold the Home button on your Roku remote for 5 seconds, select Set Up Devices, then select Wireless Soundbar. After that, the TV and Alto R1 recognized each other and the soundbar processed an over-the-air software update.

Adding the soundbar to my Roku TV couldn't have been easier. There is no need to manage additional cables or remote controls. The TV will automatically know the Alto R1 is paired, and if the volume is adjusted using the Roku remote, the changes will be made through the soundbar rather than the built-in TV speakers. I use a Caavo Control Center to manage my home theater and after making a few adjustments, I controlled the volume for the newly paired soundbar.

Features and sound quality

In use, the Alto R1 is just as straightforward as the setup. It's a two-channel, 120-watt soundbar that is entirely controlled by the Roku remote and your TV. However, that is not a problem. If you just want to enhance the sound of your Roku TV or use it to play music from your phone via bluetooth, this soundbar can do it for you.

While you won't find fancy features like Dolby Atmos and virtual surround sound in options like the Sonos Beam (Gen 2), The Alto R1 has a couple of tricks like the ability to bring the dialogue of everything you see more into focus and automatically lower the volume of the commercials. There is also a bass boost feature and volume control options within the sound settings that can be accessed by pressing the star button on the Roku remote.

In addition to the skepticism I had about the simplicity of setting up the Alto R1, there were doubts about the audio quality and how in sync it would be with the content on the screen. Since the soundbar is completely wirelessly connected to my TV, I expected a delay in what I saw on the screen and when I would hear it. To my delight, I didn't notice it in the least.

Roku uses Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth to handle connectivity, which greatly reduces latency and increases information capacity. I've seen 4K HDR movies, live soccer matches, and regular TV programs, and it all worked wonderfully. Of course, even with bass boost enabled, the Alto R1 won't compete with a dedicated subwoofer setup, but it won't try either.

I have a relatively large rectangular living room, so it's difficult to fill it with balanced audio. The sound setup I usually use is a Vizio soundbar with two wireless satellite speakers and a wireless subwoofer – and it works. When I first started using the Alto R1, I lowered my expectations for a full-fledged audio experience. But surprisingly, the wireless soundbar did a good job.

The sound was crisp and the voice enhancement features did a good job. There was no difference between day and night, but there was enough improvement when it was on that I can safely say it was worth it. The soundbar is designed for TVs 43 inches and larger, and I think in most situations the Alto R1 will make most users pretty happy.

Our opinion

I'd love to say that the Alto R1 is a great choice for anyone who just wants better sound for their home theater and doesn't want to mess with a lot of setup – and I almost can. I almost say because it's only true if you have a Roku TV. Now, you don't have to have the absolute best Roku TV, but you do need a TV with a Roku built in. So if you're using one of the many great Roku streaming devices that you plug into your TV, you won't be able to use the Alto R1.

Roku and TCL had a clear focus on what the Alto R1 would be good at – straightforward set-up process and ease of use. For those two points, the two companies did a fantastic job with this product. Moving from out-of-the-box to using the soundboard couldn't be much easier. The Alto R1 does not advertise cutting edge features or even those that are becoming commonplace among other products such as Dolby Atmos and virtual surround sound. By including options like these, the other by-product would be an increase in cost, and at $ 180 it's hard to argue what the Alto R1 brings to the living room.

Is there a better alternative?

There are many soundbars out there that offer a full feature set, but are overpriced. However, if you're willing to pay a little more but don't want too much more, then the Yamaha YAS-209 tops our list of the best sound bars under $ 500 at around $ 350. This soundbar not only offers a wider soundstage with support for DTS Virtual: X, a virtual 3D surround sound profile, but also brings a quiet rumble to your favorite programs thanks to a separate subwoofer. It won't be quite as easy to set up as the Alto R1, and it will cost you a few dollars more, but the Yamaha YAS-209 offers a more immersive home theater audio experience.

How long it will take?

TCL and Roku have both been in the home audio and video scene for a while and bring that experience to the Alto R1 soundbar. Both companies have also done a great job supporting their respective products, and thanks to the Alto R1's Wi-Fi connectivity, the soundbar can receive OTA software updates to ensure it has a long life.

Should you buy it?

Yes, if you're someone who wants to be engulfed by what you see from every angle, this is not the soundbar for you. While the Alto R1 does a solid job of producing good audio with virtually zero latency, it's not a surround sound device. This is because it is limited to 2 channels and does not have the ability to replicate 360 ​​degree audio. However, if your goal is to improve the sound well beyond what your TV has built in, aren't spending a lot of money on it, and have a Roku-enabled TV, then the Alto R1 is worth considering.

Roku Streaming Stick 4K Review: The Roku Stick To Get

Roku streaming stick 4K

Roku streaming stick 4K

RRP $ 50.00

"All the specs you want in a streaming stick, at the right price."

advantages

  • Payable

  • Easy to use

  • All the functions you want

disadvantage

  • Roku's advertising scheme means tracking

There's a reason Roku is the largest streaming platform in the United States. Okay, there are a couple of reasons. That it's cheap is one thing. The most expensive traditional streaming product (excluding the newfangled speakers) costs around $ 100 – and that before you factor in retail prices.

In reality, however, the $ 50 mark is more of the sweet spot. And there we are with the new one Roku streaming stick 4K, and his close cousin, who Roku streaming stick 4K +. Both are part of the Fall 2021 update, and both will play important roles in Roku's future roster – though they're not really the most important thing for Roku in terms of the company's overall business strategy. Yes, we will get into these weeds below.

But what you really need to know is this: for most people, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K and Streaming Stick 4K + will be the Roku sticks you should buy. Here's why.

Streaming Stick 4K and the secret of Roku's success

If you've never tried Roku, here's the short, short version: It's a company that has a range of devices – "streaming sticks," if you will, although the hardware is definitely more – that are inexpensive and simple so you can watch almost any streaming service you want to watch. Roku also puts a lot of emphasis on The Roku Channel, the ad-based channel that features dozens of series, shows, and movies. A disadvantage that spans the entire Roku ecosystem can be found here. Advertising means tracking. And tracking means that with Roku you are trading information about you and what you see. In return, you get shows and affordable products. That's the deal.

The hardware comes at a variety of prices, neither of which breaks the bank. The cheapest option is the Roku Expresswhich is now the only one that doesn't support 4K resolution. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is at the top of the inexpensive part of the range and has been given a bit of a freshen up for 2021.

The internals have been updated, but otherwise the Roku Streaming Stick 4K offers the same Roku experience – only better.

What we usually call "speeds and feeds" is new. That's technically speaking for important, but not exciting, improvements to the internal components. According to Roku, the new quad-core processor is up to 30% faster. These are just numbers on paper, of course. And if you don't let things go side by side, you will be forgiven if you say, "I can't say anything."

But when you combine it with some of the software improvements that it has helped streaming services over the past few years – and the new Roku OS 10.5 operating system – it makes a noticeable difference. Incremental, yes. But that's a good thing again.

Wi-Fi has also been upgraded a little with the new hardware. Technically, it runs on Wi-Fi 5, also known as 802.11ac. This is the previous generation Wi-Fi standard, but also a lot fast enough in terms of speed and probably fine for most people who have no idea (or want to know) how their home network actually works. It also uses MIMO dual band if you take care of that. If you're not worried, that's fine. You still want it. Roku also says the radios and antennas have been redesigned on the hardware side and you'll see a better choice of access points in the latest operating system. So there is.

A nice touch here – and I like that compared to the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, for example – is how the power cord is where the wireless antennas are plugged in, which is important to note. It lacks an HDMI extender in the box, however, and that could be an issue with some TVs.

Elsewhere on the spec front, you have Dolby Vision and HDR10 for high dynamic range and Dolby Atmos for audio. Of course, you need a TV and sound system that meets these standards, but that's a lot of licensed firepower in a $ 50 device.

Otherwise, it's pretty much the same Roku experience you've probably enjoyed for years. It still works great. Just a little better. And it's still the only platform that gives you access to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant in addition to Roku's own assistant. Plus, you can still use Apple's HomeKit or AirPlay 2.

The plus in Roku Streaming Stick 4K +

There is one difference between Roku Streaming Stick 4K and Roku Streaming Stick 4K + and only one difference. And that is the supplied remote control.

Roku led the in spring 2021 Roku Voice Remote Pro. It still looks and feels like the premium Roku remote, with the headphone jack for private listening and customizable buttons for voice commands in addition to the new hands-free mode. But this one dispenses with the replaceable batteries for a rechargeable setup. Better for the environment, bad if you hate the occasional recharge of your remote control.

It's deceptively light, which is probably only the case if you're used to the voice remote control with removable batteries. But it's also not insignificant to lose about 30% of the weight of the older remote with a headphone jack to cut things down to 2.8 ounces. That doesn't make up for the fact that it uses micro-USB to charge, which is almost unforgivable in 2021. It is long time to tear this association off.

The Voice Remote Pro also has a feature to help you find the remote control if you lose it. Which is nice.

It was a little strange to see a screen on the first boot asking me to put the batteries in the remote before pairing them. That's a very minor nitpick in Roku's otherwise excellent onboarding process. But it's a stupid one that Roku should have caught before sending the Streaming Stick 4K + to reviewers. That said, it is entirely possible that it will be fixed for retail setups. But don't be surprised if you see this confusing screen. The 4K + does not need to install batteries.

  • 1.
    The Roku voice remote control Pro.
  • 2.
    The on / off switch for the always listening microphone of the Roku Voice Remote Pro.
  • 3.
    Roku requires you to actively confirm that the remote is listening.

Roku gets it right with the idea of ​​an always listening remote control.

However, Roku makes up for this misstep by handling the hands-free mode. If you don't want a remote to always listen for your command, you can press the slider to turn it off. And Roku explicitly spells this out on one of the early onboarding screens – and asks you to confirm it works before proceeding with the setup. The on-off slider is color-coded, and removing it will sound an audible alarm if you turn the microphone on or off in addition to an on-screen notification. Very nice.

Speaking of hands-free voice control, it works flawlessly. Say "Hey, Roku," then say an order and it'll be quick. In other words, it works, and it works fine.

Is that worth the $ 20 premium over the Streaming Stick 4K? It is your call. Note, however, that the Roku Voice Remote Pro costs $ 30 if you buy them individually.

Our opinion

The Roku Streaming Stick 4K won't change the way you use Roku if you're a current Roku user. It won't change the way you stream videos if you consider switching. What you are getting here is an iterative update for a product that has been undergoing iterative updates for years.

That is actually a good thing. It shows that what Roku is doing is working. It works for Roku as a company – it offers inexpensive hardware that still makes money – and it works for you as a customer, giving you an easy way to see the things you want to see.

Just know that a large part of the future Roku strategy will be based on advertising, both in traditional home screen display ads and in ads sold on the Roku channel. In fact, Roku made about $ 532 million in the platform category – basically everything but hardware – and $ 113 million in the gamer category in the second quarter of 2021.

Going forward, it's really more about what Roku can offer you – be it on The Roku Channel or any other streaming service that Roku is taking a cut from – and less about what you watch. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is a mass product. It's what I would buy if I wanted to spend less than $ 100, but it's also not something I would think about too long, and it shouldn't be.

Are there alternatives?

Secure. Roku has a variety of devices that all work the same but bring different specs and functions to the game. For example, if you just need to be connected to ethernet or have expandable storage, check out the latest Roku Ultra. If Roku just isn't your thing or you don't like the idea of ​​what is now an advertising company in charge of your viewing habits, then maybe the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is for you.

Or if you want more power and a simpler experience – something that will last far more years than you might expect – then check out the latest Apple TV 4K. Or if Apple just isn't your thing, then Nvidia shield and Android TV can be the way to go.

Basically it is an alternative when it is connected to a television. Choice of dealer.

How long it will take?

Can't tell you It's a piece of plastic, not a plant.

But at $ 50 retail, you're going to get more than what you are looking for if you've been using the Roku Streaming Stick 4K for a few years. And if you get the Streaming Stick 4K + with the better remote, it's an even better deal as this remote can be used with any other Roku device you buy in the future.

Should you buy it?

Secure. If you love Roku and don't want to jump on the better Roku hardware I would get this.

Roku Express 4K+ Review: Easy, Affordable 4K Streamer

Roku Express 4K +

"Roku is doing it again with a tiny streamer that's huge in terms of features and value."

  • Attractively priced

  • Simple, intuitive user interface

  • 4K, HDR and Dolby Atmos passthrough

  • Voice-enabled wireless remote control

  • Apple AirPlay

  • Limited Dolby Atmos support

  • No Dolby Vision

For Roku fans ready to take the plunge into 4K streaming, there's a new kid in town: the $ 40 Roku Express 4K +, a device that like the $ 30 Roku Express looks, but actually has almost the same features as the $ 50 Roku Streaming Stick +.

But does it make sense to save $ 10 on buying the Express 4K + instead of buying the Streaming Stick +? And how does this new Roku device compare to Amazon's Fire TV family of devices?

You can find all the answers in our full review below.

What's in the box?

Roku Express 4K +Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

Roku has everything you need to set up. You will receive the Express 4K +, a certified HDMI high-speed cable, a Roku remote control, a pair of AAA batteries, a micro-USB power cable with a power adapter, a quick start guide and an adhesive strip that you can use to mount the Express 4K + on a variety of surfaces, including the bottom or back of your TV.

design

Roku Express 4K +Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

It's hard to fault the design of the Express 4K +. It is a proven combination of the tiny, curved black box of the Roku Express and the voice remote control of the Streaming Stick +.

It's so small and light that you'll likely need the included tape to keep the HDMI cable from pushing the Express 4K + around.

There are only two ports on the back – a micro USB port for power and an HDMI port. It's not likely that this will be an issue in 2021, but it's worth noting that you won't be able to use the Express 4K + if your TV doesn't have an HDMI input. In fact, none of the current Roku player devices support non-HDMI televisions anymore.

Over the years, Roku has continued to develop its set-up process for new devices and it couldn't be easier.

There's no Ethernet port, but the Express 4K + is compatible with a variety of third-party micro USB Ethernet adapters in case you need one.

When you unpack the box, you will see a sticker on the front of the device that tells you where to point the remote control. If you stick to the included Roku voice remote, then you can ignore it. The remote can communicate wirelessly with the Express 4K + and only uses infrared when it needs to send commands to your TV. It also means you can move the streamer out of sight if you wish – something you won't do with the regular Roku Express or the Express 4K, a $ 35 Walmart variant that doesn't come with WiFi can -enabled Roku voice remote control.

Speaking of the remote control, it has a voice button, a built-in microphone, and dedicated buttons on the side to control the volume and mute a TV.

Wondering what the difference between the Express 4K + and the Streaming Stick + is? Two things: The Streaming Stick + has faster WiFi with greater range and is more portable as it doesn't require an HDMI cable. Yes that's it.

Setup and configuration

Roku Express 4K +Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

Over the years, Roku has continued to develop its set-up process for new devices and it couldn't be easier.

Once you've connected the Express 4K + to your TV using the supplied HDMI cable (or one of your own), plug it in and slide the batteries into the remote. That's it – you are done with the hardware part.

From there, the Roku interface will smoothly walk you through connecting to your home WiFi and creating or connecting to an existing Roku account.

Pro tip: If you'd like your phone, tablet, or laptop to be ready as part of the setup process, send a confirmation email that you'll need to open and then click the link provided to complete setup.

I didn't have to adjust any audio or video settings. It just worked out borrowing one of Apple's favorite phrases.

I've set up a lot of streaming devices and the Roku process is second most important after Apple in terms of simplicity.

You will be asked to add some highlighted channels (the name Roku continues to use for streaming apps) but you don't have to do so now. Channels can easily be added later through the Roku interface when the Roku app is activated on your phone or even on the web through the Roku website.

My test model immediately recognized that it was connected to a 4K HDR-enabled TV and that I didn't have to manually adjust the audio or video settings. It just worked out borrowing one of Apple's favorite phrases.

Just before you start using the Express 4K +, Roku will play an introductory video that walks you through the main functions of the device and how to use them. This is the perfect way to get started with the Express 4K +, and I think any streaming device manufacturer should follow Roku's lead. It is a device that plays videos. Why not show people a short how-to video?

The interface is very fast with no noticeable lag.

Another tip: The Express 4K + comes with a power adapter. However, you can plug the micro USB cable into an available USB port on your TV and it should work fine.

Even on my test LG TV, which tends to turn off its USB ports when the TV is not in use, the Express 4K + worked just fine and even responded to the remote's power button when everything was shut down.

Ease of use and performance

Roku Express 4K +Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

Roku gave the Express 4K + 1GB of RAM, an updated processor, and a very fast MIMO Wi-Fi AC – and the results are impressive.

The interface is very fast with no noticeable lag. For the most part, channels start up quickly (some a little faster than others), and jumping from an open channel back to the home screen and then to another channel is a breeze.

Selecting content within channels was just as responsive, and movies and shows were streamed just as quickly as on an Apple TV 4K or Nvidia Shield – and significantly faster than the built-in apps on my LG C7 OLED 4K TV.

Roku's user interface hasn't changed much over the years, and that's mostly a good thing. The simple, straightforward menu options are a breeze, whether you're looking for a favorite channel, adjusting device settings, or looking for new channels in the Roku Channel Store.

Bucking the trend of adding a content curation layer to its main interface, Roku has instead relied on the free Roku Channel app (channel?) As the main method to help you find something to watch .

This may not feel as modern as Google TV, the recently redesigned Fire TV interface, or the Apple TV home screen, but I have to admit that I prefer to choose whether to display a range of content or whether I am would prefer to dive straight into a specific streaming service.

Recently, Roku added Apple AirPlay to select 4K-enabled player devices, and the Express 4K + gave me my first taste of this feature on a Roku.

I am happy to announce that it is working flawlessly. The Express 4K + appeared in my list of available AirPlay devices and I was able to quickly set up an AirPlay session. After that, it didn't matter whether I was playing music from Apple Music or Tidal or streaming from Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Disney + – the content was displayed on my TV without buffering or other connection problems. I haven't tested the available integration with Apple HomeKit, but both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant were able to control the Express 4K + without any problems.

Remote control voice commands were equally nifty and satisfying, and I was able to open channels and search for actors and movie titles.

Audio and video

Roku Express 4K + audio optionsSimon Cohen / Digital Trends

There's no question that if you own a Dolby Vision-enabled television, it makes sense to purchase a Dolby Vision-enabled streaming device. However, if you're determined to stick with Roku, you'll have to spend $ 100 to buy the Roku Ultra, which is the only Roku player device that works with Dolby's dynamic HDR format.

The Express 4K + offers excellent image quality with razor-sharp details.

As much as I'm a fan of Dolby Vision, it's hard to argue that this one feature is worth spending an additional $ 60 (150% more) over the price of the Express 4K + to get it – especially if 4K with normal HDR10 looks damn good. It's also worth noting that the Express 4K + supports HDR10 + despite the lack of Dolby Vision. As a dynamic HDR format, it can look just as good as Dolby Vision. Note, however, that your TV needs to support this (not all HDR TVs) and that you need to find HDR10 + content. So far, Amazon Prime Video is the best choice for HDR10 +.

The Express 4K + offers excellent image quality with razor-sharp details. Even when streaming HD content from sources like Amazon Prime Video, I was completely satisfied with the results.

Perhaps more impressive is that the Express can stream 4K + Dolby Atmos content over Dolby Digital Plus over HDMI.

For me, this resulted in great Atmos audio through both my TV's internal speakers and my full home theater 5.1.2 system.

There is one restriction here: Dolby Atmos support via passthrough (as opposed to native Atmos decoding) is app for app (channel by channel?). Currently, Netflix is ​​the only streaming app that delivers Dolby Atmos on the Express 4K +. Could this change over time? Absolutely, but for now the best thing to do is to think of the Express 4K + as a Dolby 5.1 device.

If you're curious about all of the pros and cons of making great Dolby Atmos sound, check out this handy explainer.

There is an app for that

Roku Remote App

No review of any Roku product is complete without at least mentioning the company's excellent mobile app. Not only can you use it as a full-fledged alternative to the remote that came with your product, but you can also allow private listening (watching on your TV while listening on your phone's headphones), and it gives you the option to add and Remove Roku Channels even when your Roku device is turned off.

Better still, it acts as your mobile version of the Roku channel, giving you access to whatever content you would get on your TV.

The Roku app is an impressive extra that no other streaming device company has yet been able to offer.

Our opinion

The Roku Express 4K + is incredibly easy to set up and use, and it exceeds our expectations for the performance of a $ 40 streaming media device.

Is there a better alternative?

At this price point, the Express 4K + has two very good direct competitors: the recently updated Amazon Fire TV Stick and the TiVo Stream 4K.

The Fire TV Stick and Stream 4K both have native Dolby Atmos decoding. This means that a lot more streaming apps should work with this feature. The Stream 4K also has Dolby Vision – a huge plus for those who have compatible TVs.

Neither of these devices support Apple AirPlay or HomeKit, however, and we would argue that the Roku interface is still a more engaging way to navigate a streaming device than the Amazon Fire TV or Android TV (especially since the stream lacks 4K Google TV ).

And none of these devices match the excellent Roku mobile app.

If you don't think the Fire TV Stick or Stream 4K has a feature that you can't do without, you'll be very happy with the Roku Express 4K +.

How long it will take?

Roku player devices are guaranteed for one year. I have had the experience with most streaming devices that they will work for years as long as you don't accidentally damage them. The Express 4K + is just as well built as the other Roku players – that is, very well built – and the remote is sturdy despite its light weight.

Roku also has an excellent track record of keeping their older devices updated with new software over time.

Should you buy it?

Absolutely. If you want to enjoy 4K HDR streaming at the lowest possible price, the Roku Express + gives you that and much more.
