One of Roku’s top of the line models for TV streaming, with headphones included, is on sale for $35, a savings of $46 – during the Black Friday sale now at Walmart.
Roku is the most popular streaming video player today and is used to stream Netflix, Disney and more channels. Roku makes several different types of players, in both box and stick format, priced between $30 and $130.
Currently on sale at Walmart for $34 is the Roku Ultra LT with a voice remote, headphones, and both wired and wireless connections. The Roku Ultra LT retails for $80.
The Ultra comes with headphones that connect to the Roku remote and so is particularly suited for the hard of hearing or those who just want to listen privately. You can also use your own headphones.
When you plug headphones into the Roku remote, you activate Private Listening. The TV speakers are turned off and all sound comes through the headphones. The Ultra remote also has power and volume controls that work on most TVs.
The Roku Ultra also has a voice remote where you can, for example, say “turn on captions” to turn on captions for everything you play on Roku. You can also ask Roku to switch to another channel or to play a specific program.
