![]() The Roku Streambar Pro sells for $149.99 at Amazon. However, if you want to boost your sound experience further you have the option of adding a Roku wireless subwoofer and wireless surround speakers. The Streambar Pro is 32-inches wide and provides decent sound quality from its four 2.5 speaker drivers. You can also control the soundbar and its streaming features via the free Roku Mobile App as well as Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri. There is even an earphone jack on the remote for convenient private listening (the earphones are included). Roku also provides a voice remote that includes a TV control, personal shortcut buttons, and headphones for private listening. The Roku Streambar Pro not only provides a way to improve your TV sound but if you have non-smart TV or a smart TV that doesn’t have all the streaming services you want to watch, the Streambar Pro also incorporates Roku 4K UHD streaming capabilities with access to over 5,000 streaming apps that can be navigated via an easy-to-use on-screen interface. This is great if you run out of HDMI inputs on your TV.Īlthough the SB-300 includes a lot for its budget price, it must be pointed out that no subwoofer output is provided and there is no Wi-Fi or Ethernet port provided – so no direct access to music streaming from the internet, but Bluetooth is provided for streaming from compatible smartphones. The extra HDMI inputs are 4K/60Hz and HDR10 compatible. There are also two HDMI inputs for external sources such as a Blu-ray Disc player, media streamer, or another compatible device. ![]() The SB-300 provides connectivity for a variety of sources as well as easy connection options for getting sound from your TV via HDMI-ARC/eARC, Digital Optical, or analog audio connection. The Monoprice SB-300 Soundbar is 39-inches wide and can be stand/shelf or wall-mounted. What makes the Monoprice SB-300 a great soundbar, especially for those on a limited budget is that for its low price of $199, it sounds great and even includes Dolby Atmos! There are also several sound modes provided to fine-tune audio from different sources or types of content. At eCoustics, we have reviewed and reported on several great soundbars at a variety of price points for your consideration. However, just as with TVs, you need to choose the right soundbar for your needs and budget. If you want something that is still convenient but offers a little more flexibility, you can opt for a soundbar that comes with a wired or wireless subwoofer, or one that comes with a subwoofer and compact wireless surround speakers. Soundbars are easy to set up and although they won’t necessarily deliver a full home theater surround sound experience, they are definitely a step up from the speaker system inside your TV. You can opt for a much simpler solution, such as a soundbar. Of course, this means spending more money, installing a home theater receiver, and multiple speakers, right? Not necessarily. Even innovations, such as putting a subwoofer in the stand or embedding transducers into the actual screen still can’t deliver the great listening experience that an external audio system can. You can only squeeze so much sound out of a thin TV frame. Let’s face it, although today’s TVs deliver better picture quality than ever, sound quality has definitely lagged behind.
