Difference between Roku Smart Soundbar & new Streambar Pro?

I have a Roku streambar for my old 2009 Samsung TV and recently purchased a Smart Sound bar for my newer Sony TV. I am very pleased with both.

I've also added the surround speakers and soon will be adding the sub to the Sony TV in my living room. I just read about the new Streambar Pro available in May. I am wondering if there is any difference between it and the Roku Smart sound bar I already have? Any advantage to getting it to replace the smart sound bar?

Thanks

    Hi sooznd,

    Thanks for the follow up question.

    Please be noted that Roku Streambar Pro is the new version of the Roku Smart Soundbar. They’re basically the same except Roku Streambar Pro includes a voice remote with TV controls, personal shortcut buttons, and headphones for private listening, while Roku Smart Soundbar comes with a standard voice remote with TV controls.

    I hope this answers your concern. You can also visit our official website or your reference: Roku Streambar Pro | All-In-One Streaming Soundbar for TV| United States | Roku

    Thanks,

    Mary

    Thanks for the inquiry.

    Unfortunately we no longer have the Roku Soundbar for a direct comparison, but you can compare the Roku Streambar to the new Streambar Pro as well as it's feature on our Products page here: https://www.roku.com/products/compare


    Thanks,

      Thanks. Apparently the Streambar Pro is replacing the Smart Sound bar which I just purchased.  Since I cannot compare the two- isn't there a legacy page with the specs somewhere on Roku's website? As far as I can tell there is no difference other than in the remote. I also have the little stream bar on a smaller tv.
