I love music and I love gadgets so what could be better than mixing two of the things I love for this particular blog post? Well, we were recently sent a ROXI from Electric Jukebox to review. ROXI combines 5 music products into 1 clever device that you connect to your TV. Before I go into more detail about the company behind ROXI and how it works, I have some good news, which is that I have one to GIVEAWAY to a lucky winner. Full details of the ROXI giveaway (worth £199) can be found at the bottom of this post.
Electric Jukebox, the company behind ROXI, believe that children spend far too much time isolated, connected to devices, listening to music on headphones or hooked on social media. Personal tech, they say, is driving families apart rather than connecting them. And so here lies their mission, “to bring families together through fun shared experiences enabled by music technology products, content & experiences”. They want their technology to get families “singing, dancing, listening and chilling together”. With this in mind, they design music products, content & experiences that create shared music entertainment experiences for the family home.
So then to the ROXI Electric Jukebox – it offers five music entertainment products in one box and aims to be the ultimate music entertainment product for the home, streaming unlimited music and radio stations. As well as that you can singalong karaoke-style to thousands of original tracks and duet with the artists, play music trivia games, listen to therapeutic sounds and more. To get started, all you need to do is plug ROXI into your TV and then use the voice activated controller to search, listen, sing and play together.
CONTENTS
In the box is a ROXI wireless controller, ROXI TV hub, controller charger cable, power adapter, HDMI cable and a 1 year premium music pass! The wireless controller is also a microphone. It automatically pairs with the TV and uses motion control so that the cursor on the TV moves when you move the controller.
SETUP
• Plug into power, TV’s HDMI, external speaker (if you have one)
• Connect to Wi-Fi or plug into Ethernet
• Switch your TV on and select the right HDMI source
• If you have a smart TV select GAME mode
• Press OK on the controller, it will buzz
• Tap in your Wi-Fi password
• That’s it!
VOICE SEARCH
Before covering the features, one of the standout functions is the voice search capability via the controller. To do a voice search, press the microphone button, wait for the on-screen prompt and then say the artist, album or song you want. Then from the search results, select the artist, album or song you want. This was really useful and much more practical than having to type your search.
FEATURES
- Unlimited Music – With ROXI you get a 1 Year Premium Pass for Unlimited Music included which is activated when you first set up the box. The unlimited music pass means you can access millions of songs on demand, or choose from hundreds of curated playlists for every mood, genre, decade or activity. After the pass expires after a year, it can be renewed for £52.
- Karaoke – A feature called “Sing With The Stars” allows you and your family to sing along with your favourite artists and their hits. Note that you are singing along with the artist and not by yourself. The ROXI controller doubles as a microphone so if you fancy a sing song, your ready to go straightaway! It’s a lot of fun singing along with the lyrics displayed on screen. It’s also worth pointing out the Family Protect option, which blocks explicit lyrics and content.
- Music Quiz – Test your music knowledge against friends and family with the “Name That Tune” feature. Choose your genre or decade, and score points by picking the correct track that’s playing from four possible choices. This is a lot of fun and definitely adds an interactive and social element to enjoying the music.
- Radio – The “Worldwide Radio” feature gives you access to thousands of radio stations from all over the world. With such a large choice, you can be sure to find something to suit your mood.
- Relaxing Sounds – The final ROXI feature is something a little different, called “Sound Machine”. It lets you play a range of therapeutic audio sounds that are perfect for relaxing or meditating.
ROXI IN ACTION
To have a better idea of how ROXI works, you can see it in action in the promotional video below:
OUR THOUGHTS
The ROXI electric jukebox is a great alternative to existing music streaming services. It’s more practical in that it brings music streaming to the living room for the whole family to enjoy. Voice search also simplifies the process of searching and make it very easy to use. The game and karaoke functions embrace the social aspects further. We certainly had a lot of fun playing and singing together.
A couple of things we noticed was that the mic wasn’t as loud as a normal mic but you don’t need it to be that loud anyway. However you should use the side of the moc to talk rather than the top as this seems better. Also to make the most ot this device its better if you have a sound bar or dedicated speakers connected to your TV as it will give a much better sound. Overrall its a fun device which we think would be particularly great around Christmas or at social family gatherings at home.

We do like singing at home, but we don’t have any special equipment for it!
This looks great fun we do not have a karaoke system but we have played a few singing games on the ps4
We love music brightens up everday
We’ve never had anything like this would certainly be well received
We all love to sing in our hose, esp the kids! Unfortunately we dont have a karaoke – we use hairbrushes instead !
I like singing at home but we don’t have a karaoke system. A streaming music system would be something we’d enjoy having. I think the Roxi Electric Jukebox looks like a lot of fun.
I’d love to win this for my daughters, they’re constantly singing and would get so much joy out of it. The review makes me really want to buy it.
love music so this would be just perfect
Looks really good. Great for parties.
We don’t hsve a karaoke but would love to win this
This is a fantastic way to get the whole family singing x
I have a karaoke microphone with a speaker built into it x
I love singing at home and we used to have karaoke machine until it broke
I sing in the shower. This looks really good. Will most definitely enjoy it with my family.
We love singing but don’t have a system in place atm the moment it’s just when ever where ever lol
Love singing but no equipment.
I love it! An amazing, modern version of the old jukebox I used to spend hours listening to in cafe’s! But now it can do so much more and takes up so little room! What a dream!
And no – I’m too old to sing now even though I love it! But we do when we are all merry at Christmas, then both young and old enjoy a sing-along – and I love singing the oldies that my parents sang!
Love to sing around the house, was singng along to Christmas in what I thought a very quiet Debenhams- until the sales assistants started clapping !!!
Used to sing amateur dramatics -pantos etc.
I like singing at home even though I am not very good!
My daughter and I are huge karaoke queens and would love a home system!
This looks fantastic fun. We would have great fun with the karaoke…My girls love to sing x
We all love singing at home! Through a hair brush lol. We would love to have a Roxi Electric Jukebox, we’re are houseful of girls ( hubby on his own lol) and they have their friend round and music is always playing! This would be fun for them!
this looks fab, we tend to sing and dance in the kitchen, we don’t have a karaoke machine yer, but we’d definitely use one!!
WITH A VOICE LIKE MINE ,SINGING IS THE LAST THING TO DO
I like a good sing, but would love to donate this to my sons school, they would get far more use out of it than me! He is at a brand new school that has just opened this year so I’m sure they could put it to very good use (and save my neighbours ears bleeding!)
I’m a really terrible singer but my son would love one of these. He loves listening to his music and also singing along
we love singing we have a machine in my teens room
This would be perfect for us. We all love to singing but no machine for us jet. We really would like a streaming music system. I think the Roxi Electric Jukebox would get tons of use in our crazy house.
We have 3 boys and 2 girls ,the boys moan when we start to sing lol ,we don’t have a karaoke machine or anything like that but we’d love one ,we need to practise a bit more 🙂
I love singing in the house, music is at the centre of everything here. The jukebox looks amazing and it would be getting it’s use here for sure!
Im always singing badly at home
We all love singing at home we don’t have a karaoke system, but that does not stop us. . This streaming music system would be a gadget which would make family gatherings so much more fun . I think the Roxi Electric Jukebox looks like an amazing piece of kit. .
My little boy and I love singing and dancing and I considered one of these for Christmas for him but ended up getting other gifs instead but would love to win this
Oooo Sis! I have entered to win one for Eli too….fingers crossed x
I would love to win this prize for my husband who would love listening to his music on this X
I really really really want one of these but can’t justify the money to hubby. I know me and my girls would have so much fun with it
My daughters love singing songs. they sing their lungs out daily lol. we haven’t go t a Karaoke set yet. this looks so much fn!
I sing all the time and it gets on my family’s nerves…they would love it if I won this lol !!! I would have to give it to my little nephew who loves singing and dancing too !
My 9 year old daughter would love this, she’s always singing
This look lot a fun for the whole to get involved with
It’s great, but there are cheaper means out there.
It would be great for grandchildren, don’t every ask me to sing its like having 2 left feet
I’m always singing around the house as my freinds and family know lol. I love the Roxi feature that means you can restrict what the kids listen to and can access. Unlike YouTube this is family freindly and the kids choosing their own songs doesn’t mean they end up blasting out unedited versions of their favourites while I am trying each of the remotes that control our TV, TiVo box, DVD player, Stereo, additional speakers, lighting and Firestick in an attempt to turn it down or off quickly before the kids pick up on the obscene language or worse, sing it to their classmates at school.
looks good
Love singing 🙂 great prize
I’d love streaming music and singing along with my grandchildren on the karaoke
Love a good sing song at home!
always singing while doing the cleaning would love a karaoke then could have a family sing night
This would be perfect. I’m always singing around the house never had the nerve to try karaoke though
it sounds like a great idea, my lad is always singing and listens over and over to songs till he remembers the words. this might help him a bit
I love singing at home biut I am nit very good, as a family we love streaming music and singing together. This Roxi model looks perfect for us
we love singing at home! i tend to sing to myself whilst cleaning or cooking and the kids enjoy the wii sing games on the wii 🙂
We love singing. The kids got a little karaoke set at Christmas but we would love to win a streaming set. This looks fab!
I love singing
We love playing Singstar and have singing competitions with friends and family so we would definitely love and use the ROXI Electric Jukebox loads, thanks for the giveaway and the review
There is six of us in this house so it is rarely quiet, we all love singing, this would be so nice to have in our home to sing along too! thank you for the chance x
we dont have a kareoke machine but the whole family would enjoy it
I sing in the shower but have never had a karoke box so it would be really cool to try this one!
Don’t have a kareoke machine but be nice to have one
I love to sing at home although nobody else loves me to sing at home. I love it when my grandchildren visit as they don’t mind me singing with them lol
i like to sing along to the radio
This looks like sooo much fun !!! i love to sing (not very well haha) at home with the kids 🙂
Love singing at home with the radio but do enjoy karaoke with friends
I love a good sing song on a karaoke, normally bring up YouTube having a party, this would be much better 🙂
Don’t have a karaoke system at home but did have a karaoke game for the Playstation, not quite the same but was good fun at the New years party a few years back
I would be really embarrassed to sing anywhere but the children would absolutely love this. We don’t have a karaoke machine or anything similar but singing is good for the children’s confidence.
This looks absolutely super. We have nothing like this at home but we all enjoy singing.
ive got a terrible singing voice but love music.We dont have a streaming device at the moment -so the electric juebox would be great
We dont have a karaoke machine at home but the kids love to singalong to the tv! The Roxi looks like a lot of fun and i’m sure my girls would just love it!
I am always singing at home, out walking the dogs. I love singing out loud in the country. I’m not good at singing but I do love it!
we have singstar for the Wii that we use to sing on and i love singing on it, i like to sing the sixties songs most of all
I dont have a system at home but i spent New Years Eve with relatives that did and the whole family enjoyed it. From a 3 year old to a 65 year old nanny
We are a singing and dancing family. We don’t own a karaoke system (in all honesty, it never occur to me to get one, I don’t know why :)). and this A-MAZING prize would be EXACTLY what we need in our lives, please :).
this would certainly keep the kids busy I suspect it would bring out their inner pop star!
We all love singing at home, but we don’t have a karaoke system. A streaming music system would be something we would REALLY enjoy having. I absolutely love the look of the Roxi Electric Jukebox, it has so many features!
I like to sing when I am cleaning, don’t use anything special
Great for a party
Looks like fun! I love singing at home. Whether anyone else loves me singing at home is another matter :).
Would have some great fun with family & friends, fingers crossed
this sounds super, we love a good sing along but never owned a kareoke machine
We don;t have anything like this and funnily enough, it would be my little singer Roxy that would love this the most! Thanks so much for the chance!
Me and my daughter are always singing at home, mainly Frozen songs lol but we do love to sing
Currently don’t have a karaoke system but we really want one especially my 9yr old who loves singing. Be fab for girlie nights

I don’t have a karaoke system at home, although have played some of the singing video games, which are fun! This looks great – thanks for running this comp.
I met my husband playing Singatar at my brothers. It’s a standing joke that I beat him! Became our Wedding first dance song.
We sometimes borrow our daughter’s Hello Kitty Karaoke machine when we fancy a good old sing song, obviously this is miles better, I love the name that tune game, used to have a cd rom versions years back, great fun
we love singing so this eould be fantastic and make fun nights in
thank you
I love karaoke, would love a machine at home me and my family love a good sing along
I love my singing. Not quite sure if my neighbours would agree though ha ha. Awesome giveaway would love to be your lucky winner
I’m not very tech minded, so if this is as easy to set up as it sounds, it would be just the job for a tech dummy like me!
something to replace lips at last
we love karaoke in our house – none of us can sing so we just make complete fools out of ourselves x
My mum used to do karaoke
We all enjoy singing at home, I usually sing along to the radio while cooking or cleaning, or in the shower with my phone, we don’t have any equipment but I’ve been thinking about getting Megan a karaoke machine for her birthday in August but I’m worried she will have my tone deaf singing abilities lol xxx
We don’t play that much music at home (we tend to listen to it in the car) – this device looks lots of fun 🙂
I absolutely LOVE singing! I entered a Karaoke contest once and won!!! I was over the moon x x x
We used to have one years ago that had disco lights built in, we love singing but i’m sure I must make dogs howl lol
I love singing opera – but not been spotted yet!
The video that’s playing for me above is the giant town jigsaw. It looks great fun
We love singing and this looks brilliant. Thanks for the review.
I do sing a lot to my cds but I have no special equipment
I love singing around the house and so do my kids. They would love this
Me and my daughters love singing round the home and are all very good singers, unfortunately we rarely use our talents but this prize would definately help with that and help us to bond, so thanks for the chance to win it!
