Today Roku announced that they have partnered with Walmart to create a Roku Smart Soundbar under Walmart’s Onn brand. This new soundbar comes with a Roku built-in and can connect to existing Roku TVs or any TV and will cost just $129.

“We know our customers shop with us for quality products at an affordable price,” says Ryan Peterson, vice president of consumer electronics for Walmart. “We’re thrilled to be working with Roku to deliver a new category of audio and streaming products in time for the holiday season that are easy to use and come at an incredible value.”

“The onn Roku Smart Soundbar gives consumers an easy way to add better sound instantly to nearly any TV, plus with a 4K Roku streaming player built in, it provides easy access to tons of great movies, TV and music entertainment. And, since some people want even more bass, we’ve created the onn Roku Wireless Subwoofer as an option – for now or later,” said Mark Ely, Vice President of Players and Whole Home Product Management at Roku. “Roku and Walmart have worked together for years to enhance the entertainment experience for millions of people who have purchased Roku TV models and Roku streaming players. Now, we’re looking forward to getting these new audio products on shelves to provide consumers with better sound for their
TV experience at a great price.”
