ROXI: 5 Music Products in 1! Review

Today I want to share with you details about a new product from Electric jukebox, their music entertainment product for families, the ROXI. Here’s my ROXI: 5 Music Products in 1! review…

ROXI works through the family TV and speakers and offers 5 music entertainment products in 1 easy-to-use box: Music Streaming, Karaoke, Worldwide Radio, Music Games and a therapeutic Sound Machine. There’s also a motion sensitive controller with built-in microphone for voice control and karaoke, and Family Protect, a feature which switches off access to all explicit music on ROXI at the touch of a button.

This short video serves as a great introduction to what it’s all about…

The Set Up

It was incredibly easy to set up, from opening the box to listening to music took less than five minutes. A ‘Quick Start Guide’ with just three steps always appeals to me!

The box plugs in and the screen prompts you to input your Wi-Fi password using the controller, which also doubles as a microphone. This does not need batteries, another plus in my book, it just needs to be charged from time to time. Once that’s done, you are all ready to enjoy the music or play.

There is a Family Protect option, which blocks explicit lyrics on ROXI. It can simply be toggled on and off in ‘Settings’. We were then ready to explore.

Each menu screen has several options, play lists and activities available, all accessed using the motion controller. It’s a point and click device, so it’s simple for the kids to use and operate, though to be honest, they are probably surpassing me in their ability to operate technology these days anyway!

My Thoughts 

I am really impressed with the ROXI. Along with the unlimited music streaming, there is a huge amount of music available within the many play lists, from classic pop to county and folk to music to meditate to. This unlimited access to ad-free music is available for the first year and kicks in from the first time that you use ROXI. After that, the second year can be renewed for £52.

The Family Protect setting is reassuring, meaning I can leave the kids to choose whatever they fancy and explore all that’s available. It’s meaning that they are discovering music that they hadn’t heard before, songs that they might not normally have access to or listen to, and it’s been interesting seeing which tracks make their favourites lists. As there are so many songs, it’s also nice that they do listen to different ones, so I don’t hear the same CD playing over and over as they dance around, as was the case before!

There are plenty of play lists to be explored, but I’d say it’s the karaoke and name that tune game that we’ve spent most time on so far. They are a lot of fun! I do like these features, they are quick games that we can all join in with, and as with the music available, they have extensive ranges of categories to choose from.

It’s easy for all of us to access as the controller and menus keep things simple. It’s also quite compact so I don’t have to find room for yet another gadget around the TV, as this takes up little room if set up permanently, though it can also be stored away easily enough.

It’s a hit here, getting a thumbs up from all of us!

ROXI is available in Red, Blue and Charcoal for £199 here, complete with a one year warranty, and you can find them over on Facebook and Twitter.

  1. I have been reading about this online and it looks like a great little gadget. I think it would go down really well here….My girls love music, especially my youngest who loves to sing.

  2. It looks great but my house would be divided, half would love it, half would hate it (that’s if you can split 7 of us in half) It looks like it would be great at a party, especially with surround sound.
