Score: 83/100
Roku Streaming Stick HD
Score: 60/100Rankings
The Roku Streaming Stick+ is a compact HDMI stick that streams 4K @ 60 fps HDR10/10+/HLG with a long-range dual-band Wi-Fi and a voice remote with TV controls. It lacks an Ethernet port and Dolby Vision/Atmos support, which may deter power users. Perfect for users who want an easy, portable 4K streaming solution at a low price.
The Roku Streaming Stick HD 2025 is an ultra-compact HD-only streamer with a voice-enabled remote and Bluetooth headphone support. Its main trade-off is the lack of 4K/HDR and limited hardware resources. Best suited for budget-conscious users with HD TVs who need a simple plug-and-play solution.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers commend the Stick+ for its sleek, plug-and-play form factor, strong long-range Wi-Fi, and solid 4K/HDR picture at a budget price, but they criticize the missing Dolby Vision/Atmos support and the lack of an Ethernet port, which limits its appeal for premium-audio or wired-network users.
Everyday users love the effortless setup, crisp 4K/HDR picture, responsive voice remote, and reliable Wi-Fi range, while recurring complaints focus on occasional overheating, short remote battery life, and intrusive interface ads.
“quick setup, intuitive interface, strong 4K/HDR picture quality”
User feedback is sparse, but the few comments indicate interest in being able to download premium apps like HBO Max, while no major complaints or praise trends are evident.
