Roku Smart Soundbar review

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...

Roku Streambar review: A one-box upgrade

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.

Roku Streambar review

With 4K streaming in-built, this affordable soundbar offers more than just good sound.

Great value for money ; Small soundbar fits into any set-up ; Can be mounted ; Produces crisp and well-rounded sound ; Great choice of channels and apps

No Dolby Vision

The Roku Streambar is punching way beyond its price tag. For £99.99, you not only get 4K streaming and access to apps such as Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Spotify and YouTube, but also richer sound quality. The Roku Streambar is almost half the size of...

Roku Wireless Bass Subwoofer Boosts TV, Soundbar Boom for $130

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...

Best soundbar for 2021: Yamaha, Klipsch, Vizio, Sonos and more

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.
