Roku's wireless soundbar is impressive for its $150 cost, but you'll need a Roku TV to use it

, a 4K QLED model that performs surprisingly well given its low price. As part of that review, I also checked out the company’s Roku TV Wireless Soundbar, a similarly low-cost option that the company designed specifically for use with its TVs, which are sold only in the US.

A basic 2-channel model, Roku’s soundbar doesn’t support Dolby Atmos, but then again you’ll need to step up to a much higher price tier to get that feature. It does have sound modes for music and movie playback, along with modes to enhance dialogue clarity and level off dynamics for late night listening. Power is specified as 60 watts per channel , which is substantial for a soundbar.

The Roku TV Wireless Soundbar’s design is unsurprisingly basic – a compact 31.5 x 2.5 x 3.9 inch black slab with a Roku logo front and center. also had a dynamic quality, with better bass than expected and a relatively wide horizontal spread to the sound.
