Roku Smart Soundbar Cost $179 and Has a Roku Media Streamer Built-in
Not content to make only media streamers and Smart TVs, now Roku went a step further and combined their popular media streamer into a Roku Smart Soundbar.
A Roku Smart Soundbar makes it easy to get amazing sound from any flat panel TV.
Pretty much any flat screen TV available today, comes with tiny speakers that are incapable of producing full rich sound. And this is no fault of the TV makers as they are all clamoring to build thinner models that can hang as flat on a wall as possible.
Soundbars dynamically improve the sound from any flat screen television, and a Roku Smart Soundbar takes it up a notch further. Because now instead of having to have a Roku Media streamer dangling from your TV. The Roku Smart Soundbar has a Roku streamer hidden neatly inside the soundbar enclosure.
This will let you access to all the same thousands of channels on Roku including these Roku Channels That Rock! And also access a long list of Unpublished Private Roku Channels that can added as well.
