This! The Holy Grail of ROKU Remotes!
THIS! This is THE Roku Remote to get! Finally! BEST FOR THE NEWER ROKU DEVICES. Having had Roku since 2012 I have gone through many remotes over the years both purchased separately or come with a newer version device. Each one had its pros and cons, and evolved over the years. One thing that had always been available with a new ROKU was the “Private Listening” feature i.e. headphone jack. If I purchased a separate remote that included a headphone jack it was usually about $50. I noticed the in the more recent versions of ROKU this feature was being phased out. Not happy about that. I LOVE the headphone jack because I can turn my crappy sounding TV into stereo and listen to whatever movie as loud as I want without bothering my neighbors. I love the fact that the remotes are RFID which means you don’t need to point it to the TV for them to work. Purchasing a separate remote has always been hit-or-miss (mostly miss). Some wouldn’t pair up properly, some would be missing a feature that would be present in another. All would cost a lot if they had the headphone jacks. All of them were major power hogs and would glitch out on sound if the power went below a certain level. Keeping a COSTCO 100 pack of AA batteries was a necessity because I had to go through them every month or so. Another problem was that every remote had pretty quickly broken the battery cover. It happens so easily; all it takes is one drop on the kitchen floor and you are left with exposed batteries for the rest of the life of the remote. When I realized that ROKU was not going to be including the headphone jack in their newer devices, I decided to get a new remote. I wasn’t expecting to find this one for $30 bucks. I honestly was expecting to be disappointed when I got it because $30 bucks was too low for a “private listening” remote. However, it is a ROKU branded remote and it specifically listed headphone jack. This was all I was really looking at. I didn’t even notice the other features listed. When it came, I was so happily surprised! Not only did it come with a headphone jack, it is –BATTERY FREE! You can charge it on a USB. No batteries to buy and no cover to break! It also CAN BE USED WHILE CHARGING. This remote included ALL THE BEST FEATURES FROM PREVIOUS REMOTES. Power on/off Voice command/search Programmable buttons to turn on/off closed captioning or go to a set channel Did I mention it’s RECHARGABLE! ALSO, it is the only remote that actually makes the remote finder sound. Not even the remote that CAME with the ROKU that had remote finder would make the sound. Oh, and yeah $30. I came back and bought another one. Read more
