The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['The Roku Streambar sits in an unusual product category: it is a soundbar that also functions as a 4K streaming player. It connects to your TV via HDMI and replaces the need for a separate streaming box while adding speaker output below the TV. Connectivity includes Bluetooth for wireless pairing, USB for local file playback, and Wi-Fi for streaming.', 'The device runs the Roku platform, which means the same simple interface and app library found on any Roku stick or box. Setup is handled through the Roku app on first boot. The soundbar aspect adds front-facing audio that most TV internal speakers cannot match, making it a genuine upgrade in both dimensions without cluttering your TV stand with two separate devices.', 'This listing is an Amazon Renewed unit, meaning it has been inspected and certified to work like new. At $99 with 1,562 ratings at 4.4 stars and 4,000 purchases in the past month, buyer confidence is strong. The renewal program typically covers cosmetic condition variations, so the device performs the same as new but may show minor surface wear.']

Frequently asked questions
What does Amazon Renewed mean for this product?
Amazon Renewed products are pre-owned or open-box items that have been inspected, tested, and certified to work and look like new. They may show minor cosmetic imperfections like small scratches. Renewed products typically come with a seller warranty and can be returned within the standard Amazon window if they do not perform as described.
Does the Roku Streambar replace my TV's audio output?
The Streambar connects via HDMI and works with your TV's audio return channel to route sound through the bar. You can use it as your primary speaker for TV audio, streaming, and Bluetooth sources. It does not replace a dedicated home theater system, but it is a meaningful step up from most built-in TV speakers.
Can I add a subwoofer to the Roku Streambar?
Roku sells a compatible wireless subwoofer that pairs with the Streambar for added bass. It is sold separately. If you want richer low-end audio, pairing the Streambar with the Roku Wireless Bass is an option without adding cables or a separate receiver.
