Short answer: the Sony HT-S100F, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #26 of 27 all-in-one soundbars by sound quality, rated 2.9/5, at $98; the Roku Streambar SE ranks #27, rated 2.7/5, and costs $99, so there is little reason to consider the other one. 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.
The case for the Sony HT-S100F: The HT-S100F is a simple, slim bar that makes speech easier to follow than most flat TV speakers, and its Voice mode lifts dialogue further for late night news or talk shows. The tradeoff: Bass is thin and rolls off early, so action movies lack weight and there is no way to add a subwoofer.
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 Sony HT-S100F cannot. The tradeoff: Two small drivers cannot produce much bass or scale, so movies sound small.
Buy the Sony HT-S100F. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Roku Streambar SE and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
