This Smart Soundbar and Subwoofer Combo Is a Great Deal Right Now

The Roku Streambar and Roku Wireless Bass bundle can do a lot for your entertainment area and kick your TV to the next gear, especially if you don’t have a lot of space to spare. As I’ve covered before, getting a soundbar is one of the best and easiest ways to dramatically improve your TV’s audio. Right now, you can get a streaming device soundbar and subwoofer combo from Roku for $149.99 (originally $249.99) from Amazon, the cheapest price it’s been since its release earlier this year, according to Camelcamelcamel's price history.

How to use the Roku Streambar and Roku Wireless Bass

I’ve been using Roku devices for years while there’s nothing revolutionary about them, the simplicity is probably what makes them so appealing to me. They are very simple and user-friendly and great for making any TV into a Smart TV. You can download all your favorite apps, cast from your computer or phone (Roku works with both iPhones and Androids) and watch your content in 4K.

The "streambar” is the streaming device and soundbar in one. In comparison to other soundbars, it’s very small (2.4 by 14.0 by 4.2 inches). It can easily fit under most TVs that have at least 2.5 inches of space below the screen, and is small enough to not be too intrusive if it needs to be placed in front. You won’t get the best and most powerful sound out of the soundbar, but it’ll be a big improvement over most TV speakers. You can read the full "excellent" review from PCMag here. However, paired with the Roku Wireless Subwoofer, you’ll get that extra kick in power that the compact soundbar lacks. Since it’s wireless, you don’t need to struggle to fit it on your TV stand. For $20 more than what the streambar normally costs, you get the subwoofer, making this a great deal for anyone looking to improve their audio and streaming system.

Here are some other soundbars to consider:

The Best U.S. Cities for Tech Jobs (Aside From the Obvious)

Image
Working in tech no longer means having to live in one of a handful of increasingly unaffordable cities, like New York City, Seattle, Chicago, and San Francisco. Instead, as jobs involving artificial intelligence and product security, among other areas, continue to grow, cities that weren't previously considered tech hubs now offer opportunities for both tech-related employment and affordable living. Here are a few examples, compiled using data from job market reports and cities, as well as input from tech recruiters and hiring managers. Bentonville, Arkansas Perhaps best known for being Walmart's home city, Bentonville has been on the rise as a tech center for the last seven or eight years, according to Eóin O'Toole, a tech recruiter and managing partner at Riviera Partners . In addition to the big-box store giant, O'Toole says that there's a "surging ecosystem both directly and indirectly related to Walmart," as well as other major employers, like JB H

How to Choose Between Alexa and Google Assistant

Image
If you’re looking to have a hands-free experience with your smart home, you need a voice assistant. By merely talking in the direction of a device enabled with the assistant, you can get information about the weather, time, local businesses, or anything else from their knowledgbase. You can control smart devices or send an email or SMS, and it’s all done by interacting vocally with the assistant, who speaks in a human-ish way. There are three well-known voice assistants: Siri, which is exclusive to Apple devices, Alexa , which is operated by Amazon, and Google Assistant . Since people are generally Apple or Android loyalists , it makes sense that if you run Apple products, you’d stick with Siri for your assistant. For everyone else, which voice assistant should you choose: Alexa or Google?  When it comes to smart home technology, there are two factors to consider: the hub you’ll use to connect your smart devices so you can control them, and what voice assistants you might want to use
