Yesterday we reported that Roku may be about to discontinue its Streambar Pro. The Streambar Pro had been removed from Roku’s official website, and local Best Buy stores are showing limited stock.
Now we can confirm that Roku is discontinuing the Streambar Pro from its lineup but still offer other soundbars.
The Roku Streambar Pro, a premium soundbar equipped with a built-in Roku streaming player, has been praised for its audio quality and convenient integration. Now, though, it seems Roku will be focusing on its current standard streaming bar with a built-in Roku streaming player and soundbar.
Amazon still lists the Streambar Pro, but it is on sale, and delivery could be as late as September 6, 2024.
Roku sent this statement to Cord Cutters News related to the change. “Customers can enjoy streaming with Roku through a number of great devices depending on their needs, including the Roku Streambar SE. For an audio boost, streamers can purchase the Roku TV Wireless Speakers, Wireless Bass and more. Users who currently own a Roku Streambar Pro will continue to receive the latest software updates offering Roku’s best-in-class experience.”
If you’ve been considering the Roku Streambar Pro, you may want to act quickly. With dwindling stock and the product’s removal from Roku’s official website, it seems the Streambar Pro’s days may be numbered. The future is unknown and Roku could be about to come out with a new soundbar/streaming player or it maybe focusing more on its Roku TV brand of smart TVs.
Here is how Roku describes the Streambar Pro:
- Built-in 4K streaming: Enjoy an easy interface with channels that launch in a snap—all in brilliant 4K HDR picture optimized for any TV
- Cinematic sound: Enjoy a cinematic experience with expanded frequency range, dynamic bass, and Dolby Audio as four internal speakers fill your room with sound
