Cord-cutting STB maker Roku looks to cut audio cables as it announces the Roku TV Wireless Speakers-- a pair of, well, wireless speakers able to pair with Roku-powered hardware via wifi.
The Roku wireless speakers are reminiscent of the HomePod, and are designed to work exclusively with Roku co-branded TVs. They run on "Roku Connect," a combination of hardware and software allowing the speakers to pair with all Roku OS devices available on the network. Once connected to the TV, the speakers play "optimised sound" from all other connected devices, including cable boxes, antennas and even mobile devices paired via Bluetooth.
