Hi Lucy, thank you for sharing your thoughts and valuable feedback. Each Roku device comes with its own remote control. Some remotes don't have the option for wired or wireless listening, called the Headphone Mode feature. However, you can still use Headphone Mode for free with all our devices. We recommend trying our Roku official app, available on Google Play or the Apple App Store. Once you have the app, turning on private listening is simple. Just look for the remote icon, the third from the right in the row of icons. For information about our Remote App, you can refer to this FAQ article at https://support.roku.com/article/217478308. Hope this will help.
this item often needs to be restarted and blips and freezes going back to the home screen enough to be annoying
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey, ColeenO! If your Roku Express is having too many glitches, first check if it's within range of the Wi-Fi signal and not blocked by anything. Make sure your Wi-Fi network is active and visible on other devices. If the issue continues, try restarting your devices. Sometimes, connectivity problems can be fixed with a simple restart. For more details on fixing this issue, check out this FAQ article at https://support.roku.com/article/208755548. It's also important to update all software to get the best performance and latest features. To do this, press Home > Settings > System > Software Update. If the issue persists, please let us know at https://support.roku.com/contactus. Your feedback is important to us.
After 'cutting the cord' with an older smart TV we needed a device for streaming. The Roku was inexpensive and easy to set up. Still exploring the options but so far so good!
Worked grw Eat for the first week, but now when using Air Play it freezes and cuts sound. Also it sometimes won't connect to ipad to use air play. Other than that it's been great!
