Roku Wireless Bass

Roku designed the Roku Wireless Bass to be an easy and affordable upgrade for Roku audio users looking to step up their home entertainment. Like all Roku audio products, the Wireless Bass setup is simple and intuitive; customers can just power it up and pair it to a Roku Streambar, Roku Wireless Speakers, or Roku TV Wireless Soundbar to get started. With the convenient wireless pairing and slim, compact design, users can place the Wireless Bass wherever they want without the hassle of running cables across the room. Roku Wireless Bass is available standalone or in a new bundle with the Roku Streambar – providing a simple solution for inspiring home theater streaming and audio.

Roku Wireless Bass features include:

  • Feel it with full sound: Amp up your entertainment with rumbling lows. Movies and TV come to life with deep, dynamic bass for a theater-like experience in your own home.
  • Elevate your music: Rich depth adds a new dimension to your favorite playlist. Pump up the volume, and experience music you can feel.
  • Easy wireless setup: No need to run cables across your living room. Just plug into power and wirelessly pair it to your Roku audio device.
  • Place it anywhere: Next to your TV. Beside your couch. Under the coffee table. Roku Wireless Bass is the perfect companion to your Roku Streambar, Roku Wireless Speakers, or Roku TV Wireless Soundbar and can be placed anywhere up to 30 feet from your TV.

Roku also announced new platform features, including an OS 11.5 update that puts ease of use and content discovery at the forefront of the streaming experience. New software features include the platform-wide Save List and Continue Watching found in the What to Watch section; enhanced search results with the introduction of Visual Search Results, optimizing how users view content; an improved Roku Voice Search that helps streamers spend less time looking for what they want to watch; and Bluetooth® Private Listening that pairs your Bluetooth headphones directly to our new Roku Ultra, Roku Streambar and Roku Streambar Pro.
