Hi - I just ordered a new latest/greatest Roku box with JBL earbuds for $90 but I see Roku are offering a soundbar with built in Roku for $150 - I don't really need the JBL buds - Is the soundbar with the latest Roku tech inbuilt a much better deal? Or am I missing something?

Any advise/opinion would be appreciated.

If you have no problem with tv sound and you don't need a soundbar, then getting the Ultra is the way to go. If you tv isn't upto delivering the sound you wish, and just happen to need a new streaming box at the same time, the Roku Smart Soundbar is what you might need. I sold off the Ultra to get the Roku Smart Soundbar, was I wasn't thrilled with tv sound, I love the Roku Soundbar.
