The best soundbars for limited budgets
Roku Streambar
Roku squeezes the functionality of its widely admired streaming sticks into a small soundbar and produces – ta-da! – a Streambar. No, it can’t compete with the premium rivals below, but its four speakers still offer a significant improvement on what any mainstream TV can produce, with way more punch, presence and detail.
Despite the affordable price tag, the Streambar also ships with some smarts, including the option to boost the volume of voices and automatically hush annoying ads. The Streambar also gives you easy access to an absolute stack of streaming and catch-up services, including support for 4K HDR content. There’s a tidy little remote, too.
