Target also has it for $99.99. If you have a Redcard you can use the 10% off coupon and 5% discount to get it for $85.49 from there.

Is the soundbar aspect of this device decent quality?

The first few reviews on Target sound terrible. Might want to check that out

I've had one for about a month and love it. I'm no audiophile but really like the sound quality.

In my opinion, the sound is better than most TVs have built in but not as good as the vizio soundbar I replaced with this. I had a roku ultra and vizio soundbar previously and in addition to the sound being better, the ultra is faster. This soundbar seems dog slow in comparison. Very delayed between clicks. Slow to load things, etc. Conversely, I had an airbnb rental recently that had the exact same soundbar and it was really snappy and responsive. Maybe something wrong with mine. Good luck if you decide to buy.

One other incidental note - a few weeks into owning mine it was obvious the wifi remote wasn't working anymore and it was relying on the line of sight infrared remote. This was easily confirmed by pairing up an old remote and it worked fine. I submitted a ticket to roku and they didn't even ask any questions - just had a new remote in my mailbox a few days later.

Most tv speakers are almost as good as this. The roku within it is slower than a roku stick which is a bit annoying. Adding a sub helps considerably

New one sounds like a big upgrade just by means of larger enclosure and 4x 1.9" drivers versus 4x2.5" on the pro. I'm personally a fan of a bass radiator on any soundbar this size. Or perhaps 4 woofers 2 tweeters. But I guess it all depends on how they did with everything. Might bet is it will sound much better than the last one. With slightly better bass with the larger drivers.

Seems to also have wireless surround speakers and subwoofer you can add. If this current one doesn't work with those, also something to think about.

Heads up the sub is not a bad addition but the "surround sound" speakers are not worth the money.

I previously had the Streambar pro, satellite speakers and sub for about less than a month before exchange it for two Amazon Echo's, Firestick and sub instead. For about $75 more I was able to get a better surround sound (albeit virtual SS though) then I did here with the full on Roku set.

The Streambar pro itself was significantly better than TV speakers when paired with the sub though I will give them that.
