Roku announced it is expanding its portfolio of premium audio products to include the new Roku Smart Soundbar and Roku Wireless Subwoofer. Essentially the new Roku Smart Soundbar combines a Roku device and a high-quality Soundbar in a single device. Just like a Roku Ultra, the device streams up to 4K with HDR support, and includes their Voice Remote.

The optional Roku Wireless Subwoofer expands the Roku Smart Soundbar with even deeper, richer bass — without the need of running an additional audio cable. The products join the family of Roku wireless speakers, but brings a higher-quality premium sound experience to any TV with an HDMI input.

Both devices are available for $179.99, and while pre-orders begin today, the devices will begin shipping in October.

  • Roku Connect: A wireless protocol that seamlessly connects the Roku ecosystem
  • Dolby Audio™: Delivers rich, clear, powerful sound
  • Bluetooth®: Listen to your favorite music, podcasts, and more from popular streaming channels or Bluetooth compatible devices
  • HDMI ARC or Optical Support: Connect the Roku Smart Soundbar to a TV with a single cable via HDMI ARC or use HDMI and Optical
  • Roku Search: Fast and easy cross-channel search offers results ranked by price
  • Roku Voice: Makes it easy to launch streaming channels, search for entertainment, replay, turn closed captions on and off and more through the Roku Voice Remote

In addition, if you want heart-pounding bass you can easily add that too.”
