I agree.  Just purchased the Roku Streambar and have not been able to connect headphones without muting TV.  Now find out it cannot be connected without muting TV.  I would have never purchased if I had known in advance.  Returning to Home Depot tomorrow.

    Hi,

     

    I want to understand if I am having the same issue as you. I have wireless Sennheiser headphones that are not working with my new Roku Sound bar. Does that mean my TV wireless headphones will never work with it? They worked with the regular Ruko just fine.

      Unfortunately that is what I found out. The Sennheiser headphones would not work with the soundbar but do work with my Roku.  I returned the soundbar.
