Wireless Soundbar or Speakers

I have a Roku tv and am looking to upgrade the audio. I am looking at either the wireless soundbar or the wireless speakers. What are the benefits of one vs the other?

    Paxonus,

    Thanks for the follow-up.

     

    Both the Roku Streambar and wireless Roku speakers are great options for enhancing your viewing experience. However, each has its own unique features and benefits.

    The Roku Streambar is a compact and versatile solution, offering high-quality audio and 4K streaming capabilities in one device. On the other hand, the wireless Roku speakers are specifically designed to deliver room-filling sound, with the added benefit of being able to place them anywhere in the room for optimal sound coverage.

    Ultimately, the decision will depend on your personal preferences and the specific needs of your setup. If you would like a more in-depth comparison between the two, we recommend visiting the Roku website for detailed information and specifications on both devices.

    Thanks,
    Arjiemar

    Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't address my question. I want to know what the differences are between the wireless soundbar and the wireless speakers. Are there any advantages in one over the other?
