Amazon announced a new slate of products, including the Fire TV Soundbar. It’s the retail giant’s first soundbar that comes with Fire TV OS inside with access to hundreds of apps, such as Netflix, Hulu, Max, Disney+, Paramount+, Peacock and much more.
Priced at $120, the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar features a dual-speaker system for bold and rich audio with deep bass that can fill an entire room with sound. It also has Dolby Audio for sharpness and detail and DTS Virtual:X for 3D virtual surround sound.

Meanwhile, it’s compact at 24 inches in length and under 3 inches in height. It’s small enough to fit in with most entertainment centers and under TV stands, while its simple plug-and-play setup via HDMI can get you up and running in just a few minutes. Just plug the soundbar into your TV’s HDMI eARC/ARC port and you’re ready to watch Netflix with enhanced audio.
Although the Fire TV Soundbar comes with a remote, it doesn’t support the Alexa voice assistant. However, the retailer paired the Fire TV Soundbar and Alexa Voice Remote Pro in one convenient bundle for $155. The Alexa voice assistant can be used for quick and easy voice search instead of endlessly scrolling through a grid of icons and titles. For example: Just ask, “Hey Alexa, play Barbie on Prime Video” or “Hey Alexa, tell me about upcoming Prime Day deals” and she’ll make it happen.
In addition, Amazon also announced new product refreshes for Echo Frames and Carrera Smart Glasses with Alexa, Fire TV Stick 4K streamer, Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet, Echo Show 5 smart home display, and much more. Check out a complete list of new devices here.
