The Roku TV Soundbar Is Now 75% Off
If you’ve never heard good sound in your living room, you may not realize how bad your TV’s speakers really are. The good news is that improving the sound coming from your TV is actually easy, and perhaps the quickest and easiest (if not the cheapest) way is to invest in a soundbar. And if you have a Roku TV, the expense won’t even be that much, because right now you can get the TCL Alto R1 soundbar for $49.99, or a whopping 75% off the original price of $199.99.

TCL Alto R1 Soundbar – $49.99 (was $199.99)
A powerful soundbar for Roku TVs (and only Roku TVs)
This is the lowest price the soundbar has reached according to Camelcamelcamel price history . But if the $50 price tag makes you anxious, here’s what your money will get you.
First, let me re-emphasize that this soundbar is only compatible with Roku TVs . And it doesn’t mean you can install a Roku TV stick on your Fire TV and expect the soundbar to connect (it doesn’t). Another important point: your TV must be turned on for the soundbar to work, so you can’t, for example, plug it into your phone and expect it to work.
The soundbar measures 2.5 by 31.5 by 3.9 inches and will easily fit under most TVs. It connects easily to Roku TVs (setup takes less than five minutes). Once connected, you can control it with your Roku TV’s remote control and connect other Bluetooth devices to it through the TV’s menu, and you can also connect it to another Roku wireless speaker, such as the Roku Wireless Bass .
