Roku introduced Monday its latest Roku Express media streamer along with the all new Roku Wireless Bass compact subwoofer designed to fill out the sound of the company’s diminutive Streambar or Roku TV Wireless Soundbar.
The latest version of the Roku Express includes dual-band Wi-Fi capability and more powerful performance. The small HDMI add-on device comes bundled with the company’s popular minimal-button remote, increased storage, and included HDMI cable to immediately begin streaming movies and programs from the vast selection of free and premium content available through the platform.
The Roku Express is designed to deliver seamless HD content. The dual-band Wi-Fi will help to ensure a constant connection to a home network without interruptions, the company said.
It is supported with easy to follow guided setup procedure and delivers the popularly intuitive and simple Roku OS Homescreen to quickly find and get into watching a program. It will easily bring smart TV functionality (or more expansive app and free content selections) to any HDMI-enabled TV.
The Roku Express is available for pre-order now for $29.95 through Roku.com, Walmart.com, and Amazon.com for a $29.99 suggested retail price and is expected to ship October 16th.
Roku Wireless Bass
In addition, the new compact Roku Wireless Bass will be coming soon to add-on powerfully dynamic bottom end to the full home theater experience, matching the company’s tiny Streambar, Roku TV Wireless Soundbar and/or Roku Wireless Speakers.
In keeping with the compact design of those solutions, the new subwoofer is small enough for easy placement in limited spaces. The unit will easily connect and set up with those products to provide punchy additional bass to the overall surround sound experience. In addition to the Streambar and Roku TV Wireless Soundbar, the Roku Wireless Bass can also be used in tandem with Roku Wireless speakers.

The Roku Wireless Bass is similarly simple and easy to setup and use when connected with the aforementioned supporting Roku devices. Users need only power it up and pair it to a Roku Streambar, Roku Wireless Speakers, or Roku TV Wireless Soundbar to get started.

Features include: deep, dynamic bass for theater-like bass tones and sound effects, easy wireless setup; and unobtrusive floor placement up to 30 feet from the TV.
