Short answer: the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #24 of 27 all-in-one soundbars by sound quality, rated 2.9/5, at $99.99; the Roku Streambar SE ranks #27, rated 2.7/5, at $99. Close enough in price that the sound-quality gap is the deciding factor. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 27 all-in-one soundbars, and the Hisense A620, ranked #21 at $119.99, is a better place to start if sound quality matters.
Why pick the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar: The Fire TV Soundbar is a compact, easy upgrade for a smaller TV, with clear dialogue and a Virtual:X mode that spreads sound wider than the bar. The catch: Bass is light and vague, so movies lack impact, and it turns harsh when pushed loud.
What the Roku Streambar SE does well: The Streambar SE combines a Roku 4K streaming player with a tiny speaker, which suits small rooms, bedrooms or an older TV that needs both streaming and better sound. It streams over Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, which the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar cannot. Watch for: Two small drivers cannot produce much bass or scale, so movies sound small.
Buy the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $0.99 you would save on the Roku Streambar SE does not close the gap.
