Roku's first soundbar isn't the best in terms of sonic performance, but offers tremendous value for the price.
Great value Surprisingly loud Built-in 4K Roku player
No HDMI-in ports Narrow soundstage Don’t lose the remote!
If you’re trying to stretch your budget as far as it will go, the Roku Smart Soundbar presents a spectacular value by combining a 4K HDR Roku streaming device and decent-sounding soundbar. That said, if you have the budget to buy both separately and...

Streaming skills with an audio boost.
Loads of streaming services ; Everything you need in the boost ; Good sound for the size
No Ethernet connection ; No Dolby Vision
This soundbar slots into a position where its offering is somewhat unique: it kills two birds with one stone, boosting audio performance without costing a lot of money, while providing access to one of the most complete streaming platforms available.

Great sound in a little box
Expert review by : Ty Pendlebury (cnet.com)
The Roku Wireless Bass ($130) is designed to pair with Roku speakers, namely the Roku Streambar, Roku Streambar Pro, Roku Wireless Speakers, or the TCL Roku TV Wireless Soundbar. It offers a slim design, an "easy wireless setup" and can placed up to 30...
Although its compact size likely means it's best-suited to smaller spaces, the Wireless Bass is a steal compared to other wireless subwoofers, such as the Polk React Sub ($200) or the rumored Sonos Sub Mini (expected to be under $500). Roku is also...

While we really like the Roku Smart Soundbar, the Roku Streambar does essentially the same job for $50 less. With a full-fledged 4K HDR Roku streamer built in and a single voice remote controlling everything.
