Our Verdict
Sony HT-S200F
Roku Streambar Pro
The Sony HT-S200F and the Roku Streambar Pro are both budget-friendly standalone bars. The Roku gives you access to Roku's media streamer, a platform that organizes all your channels in one place. It has a better soundstage and more sound enhancement features to help you control its sound. It supports more wireless playback options, too. The Roku's frequency response is more balanced, though the Sony brings a little more bass to the mix.
