Roku unveils improved Roku Express streaming player and smaller subwoofer

Today Roku announced the launch of new and updated devices, the 2022 version of the Roku Express streaming player and a new product called Roku Wireless Bass, as well as its latest software update, Roku OS 11.5.

This year's Roku Express player is an upgrade to the existing Roku Express, which now includes dual-band Wi-Fi and additional storage. Roku Wireless Bass expands Roku's line of audio accessories, adding a speaker that's more compact and smaller than the current wireless subwoofer.

The Roku Express is Roku's updated streaming device that comes with increased storage and channels that will load faster, claims the tech company. Wi-Fi is also improved, giving consumers dual-band Wi-Fi, which was previously only available on Roku Express 4K+. Dual-band Wi-Fi for the Roku Express means users can enjoy an uninterrupted streaming experience while having multiple devices connected to their network.

The new streaming player will cost $29.99 and is expected to be available in October. Customers can purchase the streaming player online or in-store.

This version will still come with a remote control and HDMI cable, as well as Roku's free content library, over 300 free live TV channels, and premium streaming subscriptions.
