Remotes

[burlOH24]

Very disappointed that the remote included with the top-of-the-line Roku player does NOT have a headphone jack. Being able to plug headphones directly into the remote is a key feature that we use everyday to maintain sanity in our household. So now I'm supposed to pay another $30 to get a remote that still has the headphone jack. Bad move, Roku.

No, I don't want to have to use an app on my phone to use headphones!

Hello! @burlOH24,

Thanks for the feedback,

We appreciate you contacting us regarding your new Roku Ultra remote feedback. We are pleased to assist.

The headphone jack has been removed to make the remote slimmer and improve battery life.

I'm with you. I hate not having the headphone jack. I looked far and wide to find earbuds that are comfortable for my apparently ridiculously small ears, and finding out that I have to connect to Bluetooth and wear uncomfortable Bluetooth earbuds for hours, while my boyfriend sleeps, makes me like this a lot less. I don't care how slim it is, and it was worth the shorter battery life for me. Options are nice, and I don't see why Roku could not have given both.
